Maybeline Color Show Sea-Quins!

Hello!!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Thursday I am doing well I am also waiting on the bestie to arrive with my peanut of a niece!


I have a fabulous holiday glitter polish to show you! It's from the Maybeline Color Show line the Limited Edition Sequins Collection!

The name on this polish is fitting its called Sea-Quins and it truly does look like the sea. In the bottle it looks teal, when applied on the nail you can see the beautiful blue shine. This polish is all different sizes of glitter in a blue green jelly base.

In my photos I am wearing three coats and two coats of top coat to get smooth. The dry time on the glitter is good, when I applied this it was only 5 minutes before the mail lady showed up with a package for me.

Needless to say the wear is not the best as with most glitter polishes. One night of work my right hand was chipped bad and now on the second day my left hand has about had it.

What I love about this polish that you don't see in the bottle is the chunks of bright cerulean blue hex glitter in it. That what makes it look like mermaid scales to me.

Take a look at the photos below and tell me what you think. I am really enjoying the new glitters that Maybeline has out in this collection I would check out your Rite Aid and or Walgreens for these collections!

China Glaze Cranberry Splash with a twist!

Hello lovelies!

It is the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and I'm still debating on doing some sort of Turkey day nails.

But anyway today I have a red polish for you that I can say I like way more then my favorite red from last year! Last year I was obsessed with Velvet Bow from China Glaze. It was from their Let It Snow collection and it is this amazing vampy red squishy polish! I don't normally wear reds because of my skin-tone but when I saw this red this year I had to have it!

This year China Glaze in their Holiday Joy Collection put out quite a few reds; actually almost half the collection is reds. Cranberry Splash was the one that stood out from the pack and spoke to me saying it wanted to join my stash! How exciting!!

So on a trip to Sally Beauty Supply I went to go and get the few polishes I wanted from the holiday collection and to see if the Cirque polishes were out yet. Out of all the polishes I went to search for Cranberry Splash was the only one who came home with me. There is more to this story but right now I don't want to bring it up since I'm waiting to hear back from Sally's.

Cranberry Splash is a glowy shimmery not frosty red. I can't tell if it leans more orange or blue it's somewhere in the middle, you know how sometimes you can tell. On the night that I bought it I was dying to try it out so I made my mom the test subject and painted her pinkie nail. For someone who hates my love of polish but yet will buy it for herself sometimes, my mom really liked this one! Hopefully I will be successful and get her to wear it for Christmas!

I was literally in love from the second I painted it on her nail! One coat actually seemed to be perfect! Although upon taking a picture of her nail you could see two coats would be best since there were some thin spots. Even though these thin spots were only visible in direct light.

For myself when I changed my polish on Friday I did the standard two coats and let it dry. Now this polish is super shiny without a top coat but you know I need the extra protection. To make it more glittery I had to add a new polish I just bought; I added Maybeline Color Show Sequins Ruby Rhinestones to my ring fingers. Ruby Rhinestones is a ruby glitter polish that is in a raspberry tinted base with small round red glitter, medium red hex glitter and surprisingly has tiny square black matte glitter too! When looking at it from the bottle you do not see the black glitter , I didn't even see it on my nail until I had my nail close to my face one night after I took my contacts out!

The wear time on this polish is good, I have had it on for three-four days now and it only has minor tip wear! I plan on buying a back up of this polish once Head2toe beauty comes back from there holiday break!

So take a look at the photos and tell me what you think!!! Until next time!

SNAAARKM Challenge Day 6! Your forever mani!

I don't think that I could actually choose one manicure to wear forever. For this challenge though I was going to choose Artificial Sweetener by Orly. It is such a pretty dusty pink with silver shimmer running through it.

 It's appropriate for any sort of occasion, mostly I would say 'wear to work' for myself since that's where I spend most of my time.

But I decided to showcase a color that I quite like a lot and for the up coming hot summer months here its kind of the perfect color and if I was in Florida year round like my moms half of our family is then I would wear this color year round!

I have already done a post on this polish but it is the Maybeline Color Show nail polish in Crushed Candy.

There isn't much more I can say about this polish! Its just a wonderful summer color! I think the next time I get a pedicure I'm going to bring this with me! 

Its beautiful in about 2-3 coats and just sparkles with its flashes of blurple. In the bottle you can actually see the blue bits of shimmer its fantastic! Its my lower priced version of Butter London Disco Biscuit! \


Don't forget to check out all the other SNAAARKM Girls and there forever manicures today!!

Until Next time!

What I reach for...makeup Part 2

Okay in part one I talked mainly face products that I use. Now what works for me may not work for you and I  completely understand that. What I hope these post do are give insight to these product so if someone has seen and read reviews on something and is still on the fence about it.
