Milani Limited Edition High Speed Fast Dry Swatches/Review

Good Morning,

Wouldn't it be nice if all of our polishes we own were one coaters?  That means you can do a quick mani and be out the door in know time.  Milani has some in there new LE Summer Collection.

                      Instantaneous Blue

This is a gorgeous glass Fleck blue.  It has pink flecks in it but it does not show up on the nail.  For me I had to use 3 coats to cover tips of my nails.  For you shorties you will need 2 coats.  This one was not a one coater. 

Hot Pink Frenzy

A bright pink creme but not a neon.  This was a one coater but I like to use at least two coats (it's a habit)

No topcoat was used on these.  They did not dry in 60 seconds like they claim to. I love the new pro-wide brush.  I do like the formula on these and this collection has some pretty colors.  I haven't seen this collection at CVS or Walgreen's.  Milani's are starting to become distinct in my area.  I hope you can find them.  Go ahead and pick up a few.

New Limited Edition High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquer – fast and luxurious, to get you on the GO – their new flat brush for fast and flawless application that dries in 60 seconds. For an additional pop of color use Milani’s High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquers for extreme shine and electrifying nails. These high voltage bright pigments are available in eight high fashion shades and great for the summer season!


Available Shades: Purple Rush, Instantaneous Blue, Racy Green, Fast Fuchsia, Jiffy Orange, Violet Dash, Yellow Whiz, & Hot Pink Frenzy.

(The ones I swatched were sent to me for review)

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Dr's Remedy Hot Hot Hot Summer Shades Swatches And Review

Good Morning,

Dr's Remedy Hot Hot Hot Summer 2011 Collection : Five fabulous, terrifically-on-trend shades of Enriched Nail Polish.

                            Lovely Lavender

A pale purple with matt depth and charm.  It's a fabulous dusty purple creme that I love so much! It's my favorite in this collection.  Used 2 coats.

Glee Gold

A shimmer infused coin of perfection.  There are various colors of shimmer shown from the bottle silver, gold and green but not so visible on the nail.  Used 3 coats

Tranquil Tangerine

A bold, but wonderfully wearable, slice of juicy delight.  Put on your sunglasses I don't want to blind you! This is a bright beautiful golden shimmery orange.  Used 2 coats 

Bold Baby Blue

An aqua meets turquoise take on every boy's favorite color.  Silvery blue tone which looks almost like a foil on the nail.  Used 2 coats

Nurture Nude Pink

A delicate, damsel in distress barely there beautiful.  This is a great polish to wear going on a job interview or if your not in the mood for any color.  From the bottle it has a flash of pink shimmer but not shown on the nail.  Used 2 coats 

The formula on these are good and easy to apply. I wish there was a green in this collection.    

These are available for $17 online at www.remedynails.com

Blue Monday, Essie Smooth Sailing

Good Morning,

Hope you had a great weekend.  Was it hot enough for you? Lol! (hands you a bottle of ice cold water)  I haven't done a blue monday in a while and I'm happy to do so today.   I have on Essie Smooth Sailing from the Color Me Braziliant Summer 2011 Collection.  I am in love with this polish ya'll.   It's a perwinkle blue which has shimmery colors of teal, purple and silver.  It glistens and sparkles.  Excellent formula and only needed two coats for great coverage.

  
If you don't have this polish I suggest you to get it especially if you are a blue lover like me.


Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Milani Nailart Purple Outline

Good Morning,

I heard the Atlantis Sonic Boom this morning.  Cape Canaveral is 55 miles away from Orlando.  I was getting ready for work when it landed it was so loud and thunderest I thought it landed in my back yard. Lol!

I am so excited this morning to show you this idea that I got from Makeupalley/nailcare.  I've had these bottles for so long and now decided to empty them into a nail polish bottle.  It's so gorgeous, it's definitely going on my top 20 list.  Milani Purple Outline is a one coater but of course I used two coats.  It sparkles fuchsia and blue fine glitter shimmer in a purple creme base.  I took lots of picture on this one *-*

This is what it looks like without top coat...it dries to a satin finish

Here are the empty nailart bottles

...but once topcoat is applied. Ooh La La!!

If you see this fabulous Nailart colour I suggest you to pick up a couple of bottles.  

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

I Won!! Lex Cosmetics...PeaBow

Good Morning,

Do you remember on January 30, 2011 I asked you to vote for me?  Well, guess what!  I won!!  I entered into a contest with Lex Cosmetics.  My color of choice won! Thank you so much for voting for me *-*  Peabow is now available here .  If you purchase $1.00 will go toward animal protection. 

PeaBow is a Blue/Purple it's what I would describe as a Bluple.  It's a cream with hint of blue shimmer  flashing through.  I used 3 coats.

Blues and purples are hard to capture.  In real life it has more purple in it.

Here I used bundle Monster Plates BM15 and BM212 along with Konad Special Nail Polish

Don't throw darts at me. Lol!

  "When I look at a beautiful peacock it reminds me of my creator looking at how artistic the world is and as I look up into the sky seeing a colorful rainbow is a reassuring promise."

(I hope you like Peabow)

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Bananarama

Facts about Bananas:

• In 2001, Britain recorded 300 incidents of injuries related to bananas. The majority of these involved people slipping on banana peels.
• In Eastern Africa you can buy banana beer. This beer is brewed from bananas.
• A cluster of bananas is called a hand and consists of 10 to 20 bananas, which are known as fingers.  

These are MY banana fingers, a take on the, ever popular, Wah Nails Prada Banana Manicure:

I'm holding a banana, because there are bananas on my fingers - clever, I'm sure you will agree.

 Yep, my nails have had the chop. I had A LOT of unfortunate breakages, all at the same time, so didn't really have a choice! Thought about getting some Calgels on, but I have absolutely NO dollar at the moment! Full-Nail designs look great on both long ad short, so I'll be sporting them for a while! This is part of the reason for my unplanned absence, as well as trips to London, graduations, moving home and unpacking! 

I started with a base of Barry M Turquoise, my favourite blue evveeerrrrr - it's lovely and bright! I then made yellow crescent moon/banana shapes, using a fine brush, with Miss Sporty Taxi, and added a light yellow highlight using Rimmel's Lemon Drop. After outlining the whole thing using the striper in Claire's Black Nail Art Pen, I topped it off with a coat of Seche Vite. 

I realise it's not my best freehand work, pretty much if you can tell it's a banana, I'm happy! It didn't take very long at all, and is a really fun, summery look! I'm going to wear something different for my birthday, though, which is tomorrow! WOOPAH!

Hope you like it! Let me know which summer looks you've been wearing!

SH OverCoat Antique Gold

Good Morning,

It's all about the crackle.  SH Overcoat.  Pretty cleaver of Sally coming up with the name.  I like the square bottle too with the crackle lid.  The prices of these are pretty steep don't you think?  $7.99 Gesh!  Some Walgreen's have them for $6.99 and  Walmart has them priced at $6.24.  The other problem I have with these is the brush...why is the brush sooo tiny?!  It would have been nice if these had the same brushes as the Sally Hansen complete salon manicure ones.

 I like Antique Gold's formula.  The gold is so sparkly.  I haven't tried the others yet.

                                  Antique Gold

I don't think pictures show the true actual prettiness of crackles.  After I applied a topcoat it glistens and shines can't see it in the pictures though.

Did you grab any of the Overcoats?  Which ones?  Which ones do you like?

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)
