Jessica Electric Teal

*Purchased by me*

Hello!  Tonight I'd like to introduce you to my new favorite teal polish.  That's right China Glaze Turned up Turquoise has been knocked down a notch buy Jessica Electric Teal.  I put this on and seriously had no words.  This is two coats plus topcoat.  Look at that shimmery goodness!  Now look at it again!  It's so pretty.  My accent nail is a base color of Essie Sunday Funday and then I used the lightening bolt shape from Nail Vinyls.  Another coat of Electric Teal then topcoated it all.  Super fun mani for sure.  Both pictures were taken in the sun to show off all that shimmering goodness.

Are you a teal junkie like I am?  If so what's your favorite teal polish?  I hope you all have a great night.

Until next time...

Shimmer Polish Bernice and Natalie

Hello my loves!  A while back I was a winner in a Shimmer Polish giveaway.  Along with the winnings she was awesome enough to send some extra polishes for review.  So I'll have a few posts coming up showing off a few Shimmer Polish beauties each time.  Up first I have Bernice, a dark tinted base with black, silver, blue and teal glitters.  Oh how I swooned when I first saw this one.  Love, love, love this!  I layered it over China Glaze Concrete Catwalk (and yes the formula on that one still sucks).  My pictures show just one coat and look at all that glitter.  This would definitely build up to be opaque on its own.  As usual with Shimmer the formula was spot on.  All the glitter is laying flat and smooth.  I did top this with a coat of Revlon Colorstay Gel topcoat and then a coat of Glossy Glam to finish it off.

Next up is Shimmer Natalie, blue, copper and turquoise glitter in a slightly tinted base.  I picked China Glaze At Vase Value (quite possibly the worst formula polish I've ever used) because I thought Natalie had a clear base.  Turns out it's a bit tinted so it changed the base color a bit but still looked really amazing.  This is one coat of Natalie topped with Glossy Glam topcoat.  Again the formula is just amazing.  It applied just like Bernice and every other Shimmer I've tried.

 So what do you think?  Shimmer Polish is seriously one of the best indies I've used.  Super consistent with great customer service.  You can check out all Shimmer has to offer on etsy by clicking here and give them a like over on facebook.

Until next time...

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Jazzy Jade

*Press Sample

Hey all!  Tonight I have another review from the box of goodies I got from Sally Hansen.  You all know by now that I am a huge sucker for a teal polish.  This one is no exception.  Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Jazzy Jade is a teal shimmer that took three coats to be opaque and even.  The formula was a bit weird on this one.  Was more sheer that I anticipated but look at the pretty shimmer.  It's so pretty.  My accent nail is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Perky Pink, a sheer pink base with glitter, layered over Barielle Pink Flip Flops, a light pink creme.  Perky Pink is not a polish to wear on it's own.  Both photos were taken is slightly overcast conditions.

You can stay up-to-date with all that Sally Hansen is up to on facebook here.  I hope you all have a great night (or day, depending on when you read this).

Until next time...

NOTD by NailNation 3000

*All purchased by me.*

Hello!  I'm super stoked to share this nail of the day.  Mr. MLiP and I don't really do Valentines Day stuff but he bought himself something and told me to go buy myself something, so I did.  I went to the nail supply shop and picked up three new NailNation polishes.  Today I have two of them for you.  The bright green is Like, Totally.  It has a holo effect and took three coats to be opaque and even.  The blue (although in a lot of light situations it looks gray) is In Memoriam.  It is holo as well and covered in two coats.  The formula on this one was a tad thick but nothing to hard to work with.  I made the chevron pattern using the skinny skinny chevrons from Nail Vinyls.  If you guys haven't heard of these or tried them out run and do it right now.  So easy to use and they make nail art so easy.
 

So what do you think of this?  Is two accent nails too much for you?  This is probably one of my favorites ever.  I'm loving the dark color with the super bright color.  You can find NailNation on facebook here and Nail Vinyls here.

Until next time...
