Simply Sweet : A Purple Pink bright!

Happy Friday!!!

So glad to be off today!! The weather has been nothing but phenomenal! Yesterday a few close friends of mine actually went and had a cook out at the local park, which is right on the water of the Hudson River. The day was perfect, good food, great friends, just perfect.

Of course I had to have a bright color on my nails to celebrate with. So today I am going to show you the second polish in the Simply Sweet four pack I bought from Marshall's last week.

This color I thought was going to be a darker fuchsia or purple, but no its a mix of a darker bright pink with purple. Kind of makes me want to say pinurple, pink and purple mixed together. Its a fairly bright almost neon color. It does not dry matte so its definitely not a neon. It reminds me of  the hydrangeas we get in at work in the spring.

These first two photos are with flash. The flash makes it look a little darker than it really is. All photos are 3 coats and no top coat!

You can see how in natural light its much brighter than with a flash. It is still showing a little darker than out in the sun. But the clouds were kind of covering the sun at this time. :(

The polish applied amazingly. The first coat was not streaky at all, unlike with the blue. The second coat was enough for opacity, and that's how I wore it yesterday at the picnic. I threw on a third coat to fix any little chips but there were none, but it looks amazing with three coats! Even with out a top coat there is a nice glossy-ness to this polish. Once again the brush was good no weird bristles or anything. I think the more I go to Marshall's I'm going to continue to look for this brand!

Simply Sweet Polishes can be found at Marshall's, I paid $4.99 for a pack of four!

Have a great Friday everyone!!

Happy Sunday to everyone!!

Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend. I am! This weather is amazing, I broke out the Capri's today just to realize my legs are too white and probably should of invested in some self tanner! :)

It has also been the best time to break out the bright fun colors for spring. It's nice because spring does arrive on Wednesday!

Today I have a color that I picked up at the mall yesterday. My BFF steph and I were spending an afternoon together and stopped in Marshall's  to see what we could find, of course I spot nail polish and pick up a four pack of the brand Simply Sweet Nail Polish in bright pastels, and I convince steph to buy a six pack of striper polishes from L.A. Colors, since she likes making nail art. For $4.99 a pack we couldn't resist.

In the four pack i purchased you got a bright pastel yellow, which I'm hoping is going to be amazing, a pastel bubblegum pink that reminds me of Pink Friday by OPI, a nice dusty purple color, and the color I am showing you today, a nice pastel baby blue!

These are all creme finishes, (which are my favorite). The bottle shape is pretty much exactly like an OPI bottle but just a tad smaller. The brushes are nice as well, not as wide as some of the OPI brushes, its like there the smaller version of them. In the blue bottle there were no weird bristles or anything which is always a plus!

With a Flash.



Natural Light



The application of this pretty polish, was three coats for opacity. If your careful you could get a way with two. All the photos in this post have three coats and a top coat. Even with out a top coat this polish has a glossy finish.

This is the true color of the Polish.

I would describe this color as a nice genuine sky blue color, or an Easter egg. I don't have any blues like this in my collection, especially with a creme finish. Perfect for the spring and summer!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a read, and I hope you all have a wonderful rest to the weekend!
