Brooke Anderson by Gabriel Cosmetics Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  Today I have two polishes to review from a new to me brand.  I posted the press release a few weeks ago.  The collection looks pretty interesting.  Brook Anderson has teamed up with Gabriel Cosmetics for this nail polish collection.  So lets dive right in.

First up is Southern Belle.  This polish had a great formula.  It was easy to apply and opaque in two coats.  My photos do have top coat because I wore this polish for a few days.

The next polish is Hush, Hush.  This was an amazing one coater!  I almost compulsively do two coats but this one didn't need it at all.  I'm thinking it will be great for stamping.  I'll let you know if I get a chance to try it out.

My first impression of this brand is really good.  Awesome formula and application on both polishes.  This collection is available on http://www.gabrielcosmeticsinc.com/ through the holidays.  They retail for $8.50 each.

Have a great night!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Glow in the Dark

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  Anyone else like me and procrastinate on their Halloween mani?  I did some last week but this week has just flown by.  So I decided to try out the Sally Hanse Salon Effects that I received for review last week.  And lets be real if I had waited to show them to you until next week there wouldn't really have been a need for them.  This is only my second time using these.  They are super easy to use and had lots of size and shape choices.  Basically you stick it on, smooth is down and then file off the excess.  As you can see by the tips of my nails I struggled a bit with the filing part.  I need to figure out how to not remove so much.  If you have any tips I'd love to hear them.  All that said, I freakin love these.  Instant nail art is my kind of art.  Mr. MLiP thought these were super neat too.

Check out the glow on these bad boys!  They didn't have to charge up or anything.  Sorry I'm not the best with the glow in the dark photography but you get the idea.  Too cool!  I put these on last night and I'm definitely wearing them out trick or treating with my boys.

Head on out and pick these up for a super quick and easy Halloween mani.  They are available in all the usual places you find Sally Hansen products.  Have a great night everyone!

Happy Halloween!!!

NYC Midnight Beauty Collection (partial) Review

*Press Sample*

Hello!  Today I have two polishes from the New York Color (NYC) Midnight Beauty Collection.  First up is Animal Instinct.  This is a gorgeous orange shimmer polish.  I used three coats and top coat for today's pictures.  The formula on this one was kind of a pain.  It was still streaky after two coats but the polish was thickening up on me while I was tying to apply it.  That said I'm in love with the color.  It was nice and bright.

Next up is Rock Muse, a Smokey Top Coat, a black jelly base with different sized silver glitters.  Since this is a jelly base and I'm not a huge fan of visible nail line I started with a black cream then applied two coats of Rock Muse.  This has great glitter payoff and was super easy to work with.  Since this is a great Halloween polish I added a jack 'o lantern decal from Lacquer by Lissa.

NYC is found a drug stores and large retailers.  This collection is available now.  These are great Halloween polishes that can definitely be worn year round.

Until next time...

Orly Mirrorball

Orly Mirrorball

Hey guys!  I have the super cool Orly Mirrorball to show you today.  In the sunlight this polish is a real stunner.  Silvery, linear holo with little holo glitters in it to give it a little something extra.  I used two coats and top coat for this mani.  This will be a fun polish for the holidays.  I can already picture this polish with a sparkly, green texture polish to make a christmas tree.  Lots of options for this one.

Have a great day!
