Formula X Polish | THRILLING

 

Hi loves!! I have a quick post today. I didn't want to neglect the blog this week. This time of year is super busy for me but I still want to commit to my blog. I don't have a lot of subscribers but I really enjoy sharing my nails and nail art via a blog. Yes Instagram is instant but sometimes I just feel like posting.

A few weeks ago I went to Sephora just to get the Formula X polish remover in the huge jar and picked up a few polishes. Well $138 dollars later I have 6 polishes and the remover jar!

Thrilling stood out to me because of its nudish pink shade. I'm not sure why I keep gravitating to nudes but I just love them. Here I'm wearing two coats and I used a cheap white polish for the accent nails.

These polishes are super opaque. Honestly one coat is great especially for designs and having that one coat as a base.

If you haven't already check out the pretty polishes from Formula X!

 

KB Shimmer | STARK RAVEN MAD

 

I received some nail mail last week from KB Shimmer which I mentioned in a previous post. I also received STARK RAVEN MAD by KB Shimmer and it's a beauty!

Bonita Polish | PEAR ME UP

 

As usual I find out about new polish brands and polishes via Instagram. I kept seeing post about this polish brand called Bonita. I'd never heard of it before.

OPI | PUSH AND SHOVE

 

I have a quick review today of OPI's Push and Shove.

Nail Foils

 

As you can see I had to do a major chop on my nails. I had two breaks on my left hand and one on my right. I had patched all three up but somehow my patch had failed me on my right which is my hand I like to photograph.

Finger Paints | DEGAS LOOK AT THIS

 

Here is a swatch of Finger Paints Degas Look At This. This is one thin coat.

SinfulColors polish|Boogie Nights

 

Today I have another "Untried". I've had this polish in my stash for sometime. I swatched it of course when I first bought it but never wore it.

Spring Nails

 

Somehow this manicure got lost. I posted on Instagram but forgot to do a post on it.

Zoya Nail polish in Farah

 

I'm playing catch up with my posts. It's been a hectic few weeks for me. I try and schedule post but sometimes I can only get one post up. But I'm improving. I really enjoy posting my nails and watching my growth.

Pastel Peach/Orange spring nails

 

I've been really into my pastel polishes lately. Pastel colors just say SPRING to me. Also I love a great peach colored polish.

Nail care and growth.

 

So my nails grew out to a nice length that I loved. Well that was short lived as the other day I noticed they were feeling softer.

Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow

 

Today I have a swatch of Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear nail lacquer in Mellow Yellow.

Purple Dottie manicure

 

Happy Monday! It's snowing here in Maryland. I figured it was a good day to catch up on some post. I'm still trying to tweak my eating plan. It's a process in deed! Some days are good some are a struggle. I actually did some juicing last week and lost a few pounds! Yay! Ok on to the manicure.

Nail Vinyls

 

Let me start by saying that I'm not being paid to review this product. I'm not endorsed by this company and I've always purchased these products with my own money. Now that's out the way....on to my review!

Lightning Bolt Nails

 

I can not stop looking at this manicure! The picture really doesn't do it much justice. After I received some more nail vinyls which were lightning bolts and I also received some straight vinyls. I decided that me and scotch tape and scissors were no longer friends.

Finger Paints | Brown and Gold Chevron nails

I was going to start by saying how much I love Brown nail polish. Then I realized...I love nail polish period!! Yes green is my favorite color, atleast the top of my list of color that I like but there are certain colors that I love as a polish against my skin tone.

KBShimmer | Pigment of My Imagination

Happy Presidents Day! I hope you had a great extended weekend! With snow and the holiday here in Maryland/DC some people had a five day weekend. I only worked a half a day Wednesday , was off Thursday and worked Friday and Saturday . But the day off on Thursday was much needed.

China Glaze | Midnight Mission & Bells Will Be Blinging

 

It's a snow day for me today and I decided to get caught up on some post. I refuse to eat up everything today so why not be productive!

I did this mani last night out of wanting to use some more "untried" polishes. I had swatched Bells Will Be Blinging the night before over black and couldn't wait to have it as a mani. I wasn't sure of what other polish I wanted to add to the mani but knew I wanted to bring out the blue glitter in Bells Will Be Blinging. I had also never used Midnight Mission by China Glaze as well and thought it would be perfect!

Now as much as I love green, I love blue nail polish just as much! There's something about blue against my complexion that I love. I think my undertones really compliment blue.

For the Bells Will Be Blinging design I had planned to use tape for this but the polish is so rich and thick that I was able to free hand my tape design. Also Midnight Mission was very opaque with one coat which I thought was great because to me some China Glaze polish need at least 2-3 coats for opaqueness.

I will definitely be using more untried polishes!

Have you tried either of these polishes? If so how'd you like them? If not definitely give them a go!

Camouflage Valentines Day Mani

 

It's Monday manicure time! Today I decided I wanted to use a polish that I hauled yesterday from the nail supply.

Color Club Holographic Chevron Manicure

 

I'm behind schedule with my posting. It has been a hectic week this week. Work picked up at the salon this week which is always a good thing. Also I really have been lacking in energy this week as well and let's just say my hormones had a good run this week! Ha! When they are out of whack I'm usually less likely to do a lot of social networking. I might say anything! I get super sensitive. Ok enough of the TMI! On to this mani!
