New Nail Polish Post

Hey everyone, Im going to use this blog more now!

Eighty Six-Review Hard Candy Polish!

Its Chirstmas Eve!

So for your present Im going to give you an awesome review

Dont forget to check out MY GIVEAWAY!

I recently got Hard Candy Nail Polish in Sweet P.
 Its part of Hard Candy's Just Nails with Ring line

Heres what Hard Candy wants to say about their Nail Polish:

The focus is on color! Put the final touch on fingertips and toes with a top-quality formula. The long-lasting, chip-resistant polish ensure flawless results with each application, and is DBP, toluene and formaldehyde free.

I have always thought of Hard Candy as a great cosmetic brand and I have to say I was surprised when I saw them in walmart. These nail polishes retail for $5 and come with a cute little ring! Since I got the green glitter I got the green heart, I love that idea of the ring as a extra with your purchase.

Sweet P is a bright green glitter. Its not for the girl who is conservative with her nails, this baby is a showstopper! This green gets someone noticed, If you like your nails to get attention you'll love Sweet P.

Formula:

•  The first coat goes on sparse.
•  The second coat denses the nail up and you start to see Sweet P's charm
•  The third coat is what really brings this polish to life.
•  Sweet P is just like a glitter you need to build up the color and once you have it, which takes three coats for this polish, you have one outstanding manicure.
•  The glitter dries with texture so If you like your smooth nail you should add topcoat. I will warn you though this baby shines without topcoat and will REALLY shine with it!
• The wear is great for a glitter!

The Bottle:

• The Quality of the brush and polish is superb. 
• The brush rivals Essie, It handle is the same height but a tad bit thinner. The actual brush is a bit wider than Essie which is good for me because I find Essie to be on the thinner side
• Comes with .35 oz of product and this bottle is very easy to store and looks cute! The name is on the back above the ingredients. 

Pros of Sweet P:

• Killer Color! Its just stunning and fun!
• Great Formula and excellent quality!
• Fun Packaging and easy to use brush!
• Goes on like a designer polish for only $5!

The only Con:

• The only thing I can say that is bad about this polish is that the color is not for everyone and some people dont like gritty glitters!

My Final Thoughts:

I was WOWed by the quality of this nail polish. I really cant believe it retails for only $5. The application and brush rivaled those of lacquers much more expensive. The color itself is unusual and awesome. It really is very chip resistant which is a huge plus. I was very pleased with this polish and would recommend it definitely.

 

For $5, you can afford to buy more than one. Sold exclusively at Walmart stores and online.

Happy Thursday! Hope all is well

If you have not yet, and please do, check out my GIVEAWAY!

A couple days ago I tried making a cranberry orange tea bread and It just didnt work out :( Anyone have a good recipe? Or an easy favorite? Im into baking right now!

 The flavors were great but it was just too doughy

I was looking at my collection and deciding what items I never use and might want tos wap and the one  that popped out was China Glaze Blue Sparrow. I actually swatched it for my Fourth post  and as pretty as it was I just hated the wear. I hoped now that I have a different base and topcoat that would not be a problem.

 Its so Beautiful!

I was in awe of the color its just stunning in person. It is a bit gritty and needs a top coat for sure but otherwise the application was fine. This took two coats to get this glitter opaque. Drying time was fast.


Wear was horrible. I got chipped less than 4 hours after applying. And by the next day a whole finger sized lacquer chip fell off. This is not ok. As pretty as Blue Sparrow is my bottle is awful and Im looking to swap it.


Speaking of swaps you might have seen a small little box on my sidebar titled "Discarded" Im looking to swap for your unwanted polishes! Want to arrange a swap with me? please leave your email in a comment and I will get back to you! Im always trying to swap with bloggers!

Hello Sunshine!

Check out MY GIVEAWAY

I think today will be a good day! I dont have much a plan besides getting work done but I do know Im going to stop by Ulta! Speaking of Ulta I recently bought the Ulta Holi-Daze Mini Collection. I had a $5 off ten and they were on sale for $7 so I got 2 for $9 after the sale! One for me one for my sister.

The collection included All the Berry Best, Gift of Gold, Plum Full of Cheer, and a Rapidry Top Coat. I was most excited to try the purple, of course, and applied it first.

The color is GORGEOUS and super hard to photogrpah

The bottle is tiny (1/8 fl) but the color rocks! Its a pretty purple plum that I find to be flattering on almost everyone. Its definetly a shimmer which I love.

Application was great. This color required two coats. I also used a topcoat (actually I tried the OPI one) The only problem I have with this polish is the wear. It definetly chipped more than I hoped it would but I forgot to put on my basecoat. Im going to try this one with a basecoat next time to see if it helps.

I love love love the way this color looks on me. I wouldnt necessarily say this is a holiday color but it is beautiful for the winter months.

I love these mini bottles. There is no way I can even finish a regular size bottle so now I can use these up and not feel bad.

Hello everyone

Happy Monday, doesnt the weekend go fast!

As a nail polish blogger I end up changing my polish almost every day. Its rare for me to keep on a color for longer then 3 days. Last week I actually wore the same color from Saturday to Friday- a rare occurrence for me!

I was wearing Essie Mint Candy Apple.

When I first started nail blogging Mint Candy Apple was the polish I was most seeking. I wanted it so bad, every swatch just made my mouth water. It was the color for me. I couldnt find it anywhere. I participated in a nail polish swap and ended up with Revlon Minted and China Glaze Refresh Mint. I ended up loving Refresh Mint and hating Minted but I still wanted to try Mint Candy Apple. So I talked to a very nice blogger kittypolishnbags and ended up doing a swap with her and I finally was able to get my Mint Candy Apple.


Fast forward about 3 months and I still had not worn the shade that took me so long to find. So when I was decided what to apply and noticed I hadn't really tried it out I decided I wanted to finally see if it was as great as I hoped.

It is. Its spectacular and one of my favorite polishes.
I am a huge fan of Mint in general and this polish just makes me squeal of delight thinking about all my favorite mint treats! I found out that people who dont like mint dont find this color that appealing but I do!

Application was fine. The first coat is a bit uneven but the second coat really evens this polish out and makes it look awesome. Wear is FANTASTIC! The pictures were taken on the 4th day and I didn't have a chip until the 5th. I am very hard on my nails so this is a feat! The essie brush is great if not on the smaller side. The polish is a bit thick but comes off easily and you just cant beat the wear. I would definetly reccomend this to any mint lover.
