Blue Cross Beauty: Summer Brights Nail Polish.

Hi everybody!! How is your weekend going. I am most definitely soaking up the sun on my end. Its in the 70's here at least until Tuesday before it rains.

Today I have for you a nail polish that is super appropriate for the upcoming warm weather!

On a recent trip to Rite Aid ( my holy grail for everything drugstore) I saw that Blue Cross Beauty, a brand I've only seen at Rite Aid came out with some bright fun colored polishes for the Spring.

Out of the five or six colors I saw I picked up the brightest blue that they had. I've been really into wearing bright colors the last few weeks, I think its just with the way I've been feeling at the moment plus I'm excited for warm weather.

Lets get down to it shall we? This polish a neon mid tone blue that has a slightly darker blue shimmer running through it, plus it has very tiny bits of silver glitter mixed in. They look great in the bottle but I don't think they transfer to the nail well, unless I just applied it too quickly, not giving enough time in between coats. In my case that's probably what happened, I'm so impatient.


I like this polish more with a top coat then matte. Hence there are no photos of it matte. The formula is a bit on the sheer side and it takes at least 3-4 to make it opaque enough for my liking so I don't see any visible nail line. The one bright side of the formula is its not to thick or watery so you don't have to worry about flooding or it getting gloopy.




Another highlight of this polish is the bottle. I absolutely love the chunky square bottle! It makes for the perfect hand position. All the Summer Bright polishes are a full 15ml so you are definitely getting your bang for your buck. If I recall these polishes are about $3.99. They had some other nice colors, like a mint green and a pastel pink and I think even a lighter blue, but this one called out to me.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post and I will see you next time! Don't forget to follow on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook for other beauty/nail polish stuff!

Spring, Butterflies, Gradients? Oh my!

Hi guys!! How are you all? On my end things are up and down as they have been the last few weeks. I've been feeling down and depressed and nothing really seems to be helping. Although there is one thing that has been helping, that  is my friends not just here at home but on the Internet too! If it hadn't been for their words of encouragement I don't know what I would do. I just have to remember I'm not alone in my struggles and eventually everything will work out.

So for today's post I wanted to share with you some nail art I did last week. Since the weather is finally getting warmer (its gonna be 60 today) I was inspired to do a bright manicure.

I started off with two of my favorite neon's from China Glaze, Pink Plumeria and Loves A Beach. The pair of polishes created a subtle gradient that I really liked. Then I decided to add some nail art. Originally I was going to do butterfly wings on all of my nails but since I like the gradient so much that I only did the accent nail.



I have to say I need to practice my butterfly wings more, my nails also need to grow out more too. Its hard to do a butterfly wing on short nails.



After finishing the nail art I waited a day and added Finger Paints Flakies in Flashy.  The iridescence of the flakies really made it look like a butterfly wing. I topped it all off with Julie G Jet Set Fast Drying Top Coat. It has quickly replaced my Seche Vite and Sally Hansen Insta Dry as my favorite top coat!

That's it for today! See you next time! <3 Nicole

Joe Fresh: Sour Citron.

Happy Thursday lovelies!! Only one more day until the weekend!!

Today I have another amazing Joe Fresh polish to share with you. I am all about bright colors, my sunglasses case is a bright neon pink holographic, my purse is bright mint green, and I always look for the bright colors when I buy nail polish.

Back when I first started this blog I thought that I would never wear the bright neon color because well back then frankly I didn't like them. *GASP* I know how stupid of me right? As time went on I grew to love the bright colors and now can't wait to rock them when I get them.

Sour Citron is the name of this polish and I tell you right now this polish reminds me of the bright sour gum balls you get from those 25 cent machines at the grocery store. Sour Citron is a bright almost neon but not quite chartreuse yellow green.



I used three coats of polish to get it even and opaque. It doesn't dry matte so its not a real neon, but it sure is bright. The formula is about the same as on the previous Joe Fresh polish I reviewed. Its pretty awesome!

I think that Sour Citron would be a great base for some stamping particularly with a black polish, especially the flip flip stamp from Bundle Monster.

I did take one photo with a flash to see if that changed the look of the polish and well here is the result.


The flash from the camera makes it look more like a dirty green apple. I say that because I have an Orly polish that is a green apple color and I wore it to work one day and a customer thought I was sick.

All in all I like this polish a lot and plan on doing a stamping manicure with in the future, maybe to usher in the warm weather when it decides to make an appearance around here. Seriously mother nature has no idea what season it is, one minute is 9 degrees outside and then on Saturday its supposed to by 45??

Anyway thats it for today! Talk to you on Friday!

45 Days Of Untrieds. Day 3 Salon Perfect: Bermuda Baby.

Hello!

Hope you are all having a fabulous Saturday! I am most certainly having a great weekend, and I will tell you all tomorrow if it is getting even better.

Today's untried is another Salon Perfect polish that I picked up at the display of the Neon Collision polishes. This beautiful polish is called Bermuda Baby, one day maybe if I am lucky I'll actually get to go there.

Anyhow this polish a wonderful blue neon polish that reminds me of the water you would see around Bermuda.

If you google Bermuda beaches you'll see how this color fits in.



The formula on this was pretty much the same as Gone Sailing.  But the humidity definitely effected the drying time. I still love, love, love this color though. its like a bright blue sky on those days where not a cloud could be found.

I did have a photo with top coat but there were so many bubble it was not blog worthy at all!

These photos were taken in (1) natural light and the second one is under the light of a lamp which I no longer have.

So thats it for today's untried. I hope you will stay with us on this journey! Don't forget to check out Adrianna's untried, and @shaylads on Instagram!

Whats your dream vacation?

45 Days of untrieds...Day 2 Salon Perfect: Gone Sailing.

Good morning! Well we have reached the weekend! Who is excited??? Not me because I have to work all weekend!

Anyway today is day two of 45, I think I am really going to like this challenge. It is definitely going to help me get through most of my untrieds although I think I may have to repeat this challenge in the future to get through ALL of them.

Today's untried is a neon polish from Salon Perfect. I don't think I have featured a Salon Perfect Polish on here before, that's interesting. This polish if you choose to go looking for it can be found with its brothers and sisters at your local Wal-Mart. I know not everyone likes Wal-Mart, but when you live in an area where you don't have access to all the 'cooler' stores then sadly Wal-Mart becomes your best friend.

The display this polish can be found on is also the display with the Neon Collision Polishes, you know the matte glitter ones.

This is my first neon teal polish. I have plenty of teal polishes but none that are neon. I'll warn you now I forgot to put top coat over the polish after I took photos of it matte so these photos are all with a matte finish.




The formula isn't the best on these neon's but you know I haven't met a neon that didn't have a problem formula in some way or another. If I am correct I had to do about three coats to achieve evenness and opacity. Since its been humid here, (and thankfully the humidity broke for a couple days starting yesterday) it hasn't been optimal polish weather.

I think this polish looks really pretty matte and if a top coat is added its going to look like the shimmery China Glaze neon's that they released last summer. If you didn't know, China Glaze and Salon Perfect are made by the same people, so if there is a color you can't find from CG you might be able to get it with Salon Perfect. That's how I got a nice bottle of Flip Flop Fantasy, but its called Flamingo Flair.

Salon Perfect Polishes will cost you about $3.98 a bottle which isn't bad at all. I hope my Wal-Mart gets in more colors so I can buy more. I need more polish like I need a hole in my head.

So that's it for day two of our untrieds challenge. Don't forget that you can go and check out my dearest polish friend Adrianna over at Morie's Nail Art, to see her untried of the day!.

Ok so this post isn't completely over yet, if you notice at the top right corner of the blog I have a small poll going. I want to know what you would like to see from Free For All Beauty Friday's, There are three choices I think sum it all up. Please take a moment and vote it would greatly help me in future blogging!!! 

Until tomorrow! <3Nicole

Sinful Colors 24/7

*I purchased this product with my own money*


Hello! Happy Thursday, hope your work week is going well and who else is counting down to the weekend? I am!

Today I bring you a polish that purchased back about a month or so ago at Wal-Mart when they had a huge display of Sinful Colors. To be honest I always feel they have a huge display of Sinful colors out all the time...

Anyway this color caught my eye because it was bright and I love me a good bright polish! Sinful Colors calls this one 24/7 it is a neon bright pink color. Who doesn't need more of those in their collection?

I was super excited to have another bright pink in my collection that I could do some nail art over for the upcoming warmer weather. However...this polish was the worst neon I have ever dealt with ever! It is one of the most streaky polishes ever, it made me so upset. It took four coats to get it opaque enough for my liking. For a polish that is only a 1.99 I felt for the first time ever with Sinful Color is that you got what you paid for, total bummer.

Here are my swatches of it.




My iPhone camera was the only camera that could pick this color up without freaking out. The middle picture shows the color a bit darker that it is in real life. You can see even after four coats it is smooth and just a pretty matte neon pink. Maybe the next time I decided to use this color or wear it I will use white undies to reduce the amount of coats needed.

If you do want this color you can find it at most drugstores and even some Wal-Mart's now for around $1.99 each. Sometimes though you can catch sinful colors on sale at Walgreens were you can get them for $.99 cents! So always keep an eye out in their flyer!

Until next time polish lovers!

Spring has Sprung!

Well hello again!

As promised in my last post here is my next post that is Spring nail oriented!

A while back before my two weeks of hell started I did some freehand nail art which I don't always get to do because I suck at it! I'm practicing when I can but nothing turns out the way I would like it to. I think that's why I stick to stamping so much.

Anyway enough pity party for one up there in that last paragraph lets get to it. Since Spring is FINALLY here, I cannot wait to start wearing bright clothes and spring dresses and not heavy sweaters and boots! Even though the temperatures are not Spring worthy yet, were still in the upper 30s to 40 degrees here in NY. A funny fact is that the weather guy the other day said that one year ago at this time we were actually having a heat wave, it was almost 80 degrees here last year! I wish we could have it back! We still have 3 inches of snow to get rid of!

Anyway one part of spring that I love is when all the pretty little butterflies come out, so that's what I decided to recreate was butterfly wings. I have seen so many nail artist recreate these I wanted to give it a shot. My favorite butterfly is the Monarch Butterfly as seen over on the left.



So to create my version I started off with three coats of China Glaze Orange You hot from the Summer Neon (2012) collection.

Here is a swatch photo of it on its own.



My photo makes it look more golden but its not it is very much orange! I couldn't get my editing program to color correct it :(.

Then I did a gradient of Love's a Beach on my tips, and then with a fine nail art brush from my Cheeky kit I got for Christmas I did the black out lines and then the white dots with a fine dotting tool also from the same kit.

All photos were taken with top coat and in natural light with the exception of the swatch of Orange You Hot that has no top coat.



 
 
For a first time take on butterfly wings I have to say I like them a lot and actually wore them for almost a whole week before changing the polish due to chips and pealing.

Since spring is here I hope I get inspired to do more spring nail art post and to work on my free hand more!

So until then I will talk to you all soon! <3 Nicole.


*Any and all nail polish mention in the above post was purchased by myself with my own money*

China Glaze Loves A Beach.

Hello all! Happy Friday afternoon!

It has been bitterly cold here in New York for the past almost week, I can't tell you how much I want the spring time to get here!

To help combat the bitter cold today I have a polish that will make you want to go to the beach!

Loves A Beach is from the China Glaze Summer Neon's collection it is a medium bright florescent pink. You could compare it to Hang Ten Toes its just a shade or two darker.

When Loves A Beach dries the shimmer that you can see in the other colors isn't too prevalent, at least to me it isn't. The finish is much more of a matte satin. With the addition of top coat though the shimmer comes alive and creates a great back drop for nail art or glitter.




The formula on this polish is pretty good, three coats take care of any visible nail line. It is definitely a good idea to wait a few minutes in between coats so you don't get any brush drag or bald spots.

I still believe that The Summer Neon's is still available to purchase through the online E-tailers. So if your stuck in the bitter cold like I am or just in need of a spring-ish color then you might want to pick up a couple of these colors!

Do you already own any of the Summer Neon's?

My Top 10 Polishes of 2012! Part 2!

Good Morning and welcome to part 2 of My Top 10 Polishes of 2012!

Today I am going to show case my last five favorite polishes of 2012.

Lets get started!

First on the list in the second half is from Cover Girl! This fall Cover Girl released a nail polish collection with all different colors. I'm sure Cover Girl has had polishes in the past but this is the first I have seen them since I started blogging. Out of the collection that Cover Girl has to offer I chose a polish that I definitely don't own already or have anything close to. It is called Wine Stain. It is an dark blood red jelly finish polish that is super saturated with color and is right up there with my favorite reds.  I used this polish also in a Halloween manicure this year, it looked pretty really for fake blood drippings.




Next is a polish I never thought I would get my hands on. OPI is not commonly sold where I live but the grocery store that I work at sells it and sometimes we get in one or two of the new collections. Like right now there is a polish from the James Bond Collection hiding in the back waiting for me to purchase it this weekend!

Anyway my favorite OPI from this year is I Have A Herring Problem. Its from the Holland Collection that was released in the spring. It is a blue-grey polish that is just beautiful. It has this most amazing silver shimmer running through it as well.  Its the one polish out of the collection that if I was going to buy one it would be this one.



 Back in September my sister from another mister had a beautiful baby girl and when we had her baby shower one month before her due date I wore this next favorite. I got it when I ordered half the Summer Neon Collection from Head2Toe Beauty. It is Pink Plumeria. It is a lovely light corally pink neon. This collection of neon's is special, because they are not just BAM in your face neon's, they have a shimmer to them that even if you left them without a top coat they would still look amazing.

When I wore this polish for the baby shower I stamped butterflies over it and I think it was very appropriate for her shower. Take a look.


Second to last on my list was a glitter polish. What nail polish addict doesn't love a good glitter polish. I know I do. As much as they can be a pain in the you know where, I can't resist. China Glaze released a collection during the summer called On Safari. I was attracted to only the glitters. I'm Not Lion is a gold micro fine holographic glitter polish. In the sunlight it is super sparkly and would be appropriate I think in the work place. Its not loud its just right.


Last but certainly not least is a polish that I think a lot of nail polish lovers liked. I know I had a few conversations with people about it. China Glaze's Wicked Halloween Collection had a couple amazing polishes in it this year, as you saw by my choice for Immortal. This last one is just amazing. Its called Bizarre Blurple. You know how here in the nail polish world we sometimes combine words to make a new that describes a polish? Well China Glaze caught on and gave us this beauty. When I took these pictures my camera didn't want to pick up the purple, as it never does it just got the blue of the polish. Doesn't matter though it still amazeballs!


   
                               
 
 
So that's it! My Top 10 for 2012! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did and if you wore any of these polishes this year leave a comment below!!
 
 
I believe my final post for the year will be a new years eve manicure so keep a look out for that!

Loreal Paris Nail Polish: Tea and Crumpets!

Good morning my dears!

Hope you all are well and ate lots and lots of turkey and did some Black Friday shopping! I went shopping on Saturday and scored five polishes off my wish list. They were never up here on the blog though b/c I'm horrible at updating those pages!

Today I have for you the last of the Loreal Paris Polishes from tr British collection. This one is called Tea And Crumpets. It is a fantastic nude color. Defnitly a palette cleanser for me. I don't have anything like this in my stash.

It's a very pale nude/grey cream that is opaque in 3 coats, the first coat is sheer and patchy but buy the second coat it starts to even itself out. If your too quick to apply each coat you can get some unevenness and visible brush strokes.

I plan on using this polish for the base color for some nail art ! I started over Thanksgiving trying out different designs and decided on my first tape mani. I haven't really attempted one because I always screw if up! But this time I managed quite well! Usually people use scotch tape but I didn't have that on hand so I used masking tape and just ran it over my hand once or twice and then placed it where I wanted it to go.

I then used China Glaze Pink Plumeria on the part that wasn't taped off. I have to say that the manicure is very work appropriate and just overall nice and clean. I feel like one could get away with wearing such a manicure in a more strict office setting.

Okay that's it for this post! Stay tuned for the next one and check out the pictures below! All taken in natural light!

Neon Flowers!

Hello! How are all of you lovely readers doing today?

Can't really complain to much on my end, just the same old stuff that's worth complaining, work and the weather. Customers at work lately have been down right mean. If you follow me on Twitter you may have heard me rant about it. The weather has been so hot! It has been in the 90s for the last week and the humidity just makes it all the more worse.

So today I decided to do some happy nails, well at least ones that will make me happy! I had in mind to do a tutorial for baby shower nails since my BFF/sister is having her shower in less than a month. I just haven't decided what exactly I want to actually do. The first thing I KNOW I needed to do was to practice my nail art. I haven't done any real nail art since Easter. I was inspired by Alaina from The Little Canvas and her Under The Sea Nail art, which you can see if you click her blog name. Alaina is AMAZING at nail art, and I can only hope to get as good as she is! While your at her blog you should see these awesome Gnome Nails she did too!

I wanted to do something simple and easy, so I began with two coats of Pure Ice's Superstar. Superstar is a fantastic creme white polish, I actually bought a back up of it yesterday at Walmart. It is super smooth and two coats creates the perfect starting point. I highly recommend it if you have access to the Pure Ice brand.

This is two coats and no top coat, also taken with the flash on my camera.
So hunting around for my box of toothpicks, which have mysteriously disappeared. I finally found a bobby pin that wasn't useful anymore and bent it to make a duel ended dotting tool. First I took China Glaze's Hang Ten Toes, and created the flower petals on all five nails, in random areas. Then I took Foie Gras from the Hunger Games Collection and dotted that in the center. Finally I took Orange You Hot and made a second set of flowers in the space left over and then again creating the center with Foie Gras.

All of the photos below were taken in natural sunlight.




Hopefully this manicure will jump start my brain into doing more nail art! If my lovely readers have any idea what I should do for my baby shower manicure please leave a comment below! Hope you enjoyed this!

By the way My Nails. My Polish has a Facebook Page now! It would mean so much to me if you would click the "Become a Fan" Button up at the top right hand corner of my blog! And if your not following me on twitter there is a button for that too!

Until next time!
Nicole.

Beach Cruise-r on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Hi! Its Monday, not my most favorite day of the week. Although what better way to pass the time with a new blog post!

Today I bring you a star filled neon manicure. This past week has been crazy! Tuesday was my 25th birthday, then it was the fourth of July and then I spent most of the week hanging with my family and friends. Of course I treated myself to some new polishes over the week and I will feature them as soon as I can.

But I figured I could start out with a new polish I bought at my local Walgreens. I'm talking about the Fergie Collection from Wet 'n' Wild. I have been lemming that star polish! After dropping my dad off at the train station early I popped in right when they opened to take a peek.

 I was super excited to find the entire Fergie Collection practically untouched at the end of one of the beauty isles. I immediately grabbed two of the three star polishes on the display and one of the gold and black glitters., I like a lot of the glitters they had, but I didn't have enough money to get all the ones I wanted.

When I got home I took off any existing polish and started off with two coats of China Glaze's Beach Cruise-r. Beach Cruise-r is a lovely medium dark purple neon. It doesn't have the shimmer that the other ones in the collection do. Application was very nice, not streaky like other neons are. Two coats gave me great opacity.

After letting it thoroughly dry I then set off to apply Hollywood Walk Of Fame. This polish is multicolored stars in a clear base. There are plenty of stars in the bottle and the clear polish is kind of thick. I could get lots of stars on the brush, the brush by the way I think is the same wide brush that are in the new Megalast colors. Not entirely sure though. Getting the stars to place where I wanted wasn't too hard but sometimes they come off in clumps and you have to constantly swipe the brush to spread them out.

What I was surprised to see was mini bar glitter mixed with the stars, I definitely like that. Sorry but the photos in this post I took with my iPhone. My batteries in my camera died and I have to charge them.



None of these pictures were taken with flash, all the light you see is natural sunlight from the window. With the clear polish being so thick in HWOF I thought dry time would be super long. It wasn't though. A good few minutes and the polish was okay to touch with my fingers. Letting it dry a little more I then applied my top coat and let that dry for at least 15 minutes before taking pics,. I didn't want to risk smudging. God knows I'm they champ when it comes to it!

So that's it for this post. Fergie's collection can be found at Walgreen's. Mine retailed for $3.49 a piece.

Until next time!

Funky Summer Neon French!

Happy Sunday! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend! I also hope you all have an awesme 4th of July holdiay for those of us here in the states! Tuesday the day before is my 25th birthday! I am so excited!

Today I bring you a manicure I've been wanting to do for a while but I couldn't find my french manicure guides. I finally found them today and bam, popped out this funky french manicure!

I orginially started with three coats of China Glaze's newest neon I'm With the Life Guard. This is my absolute favorite green polish that I own right now! Its super bright and floresent, and any polish that makes my mother go "oh goodness" is a winner in my book. I wore this color as a plain mani yesterday and got a few compliments from co-workers.


I tried to get a good sunlight picture, but the sun didn't want to cooperate. I tried with a flash but it just made my fingers look like I dipped them in radioactive waste and glowing.  This polish is super bright, three coats and its opaque. I think since its been quite warm outside and somewhat inside my house the polish did thicken up a little but nothing that I couldn't handle. I'm pretty sure this polish is going to make an appearance for some Halloween manicures! Yes I know October is 4 months away but I can't wait for fall! Its my favorite time of year!

So on to the french part. By finally finding my nail guides ( which I should re-purchase) becuase god knows I cannot free hand french tips to save my life! I chose Beach Cruise-r also from the new China Glaze Neons.
Its a lovely dark purple. Not necessarily an in your face neon but I'm sure when its not over top of a bright green it has some brillance to it. I can't comment on the coverage, or opacity at this time with my bottle since I haven't done a full mani with it yet.



You can definitly see the difference when Beach Cruise-r gets its picture taking with a flash and then in the natural sun. Top is with flash and bottom is natural sunlight. I did add a bit of art to my accent nail just by dragging a black striper from Sinful Colors.

I hope you enjoyed this! Have a fabulous end to the weekend and the holdiay if you live here in the states!

Talk to you all soon.

China Glaze Summer Neons: Hang Ten Toes, I'm With The Lifeguard!

Hello lovely polish lovers!

I am so thankful its Friday! Who is ready for the weekend?  I am! What a better way to start off the weekend with a bright fun summer manicure!

Back on Monday; actually back last week I started stalking Head2toe Beauty for some of the new collections from China Glaze. Head2toe is an online e-tailer that carries our favorite brands of nail polish for sometimes much less than what we would find out at Sally's or other places. I'm sure though that most of you already know this!

I think I will do a post on my experiences with ordering from online retailers, although I have to say this. I have nothing but praise for Head2toe Beauty!

I ordered six of the China Glaze Summer Neons, at three bucks a pop I couldn't resist splurging a little since there are no intriguing drugstore polishes out there that I want.


I ordered, Orange You Hot, Beach Cruise-r, Loves a Beach, Hang Ten Toes, I'm With the Lifeguard, and Pink Plumeria. Today I have to show you Hang Ten Toes and an accent nail of I'm with the Lifeguard.



The formula on these polishes are nice, a little thick although easy to control,  three coats and you are good to go! These polishes do dry matte, I mean they are neons, but even when they are matte they have this shimmer about them! Adding your favorite top coat just puts them over the top!


                                     

When I first applied these polishes I didn't have the best lighting so they looked darker to me. Its been 95 degrees with high humidity the last two days so the house has been sort of dark to keep it cool. I did notice though that high humidity affects how fast my polish dried though. :(  It sucks but I found I just had to take it slow and let each layer dry completely before continuing. As soon as I got out in the sun yesterday evening I saw just how bright they really are!

I am in love with all these colors and can't wait to show you guys all the of them!

China Glaze can be found on Head2toe beauty for $3.00 a bottle and at Sally's for usually $5.99 a bottle, or a little less if you have a beauty club card.

Until next time!

Bolts of Blue!

Hi all! Happy Thursday!

Hope you all have been doing well. For me life has been okay, a little depressed due to personal/family stuff but hopefully that will be sorted out soon. Now on to happier news!

Last week I went a tad bit overboard in the polish department... I bought lots of polish over the course of four days. That's the most I have ever purchased in one span of time. It was all worth it though because I hadn't bought any new polish in about a month.

Today I have one of those colors for you! The first place I always check for new polishes, (drugstore ones at least) is Rite Aid. One day on a whim after work I stopped in and BAM, there were at least like four new collections out including Color Club Polishes! If Rite Aid Plans on beginning to sell Color Club I am all for it.

This color is not from CC though. Its from a company called Hedy Ma.nish.ma. I did a review of one of their "holographic polishes".  This polish is from there Electric Brights collection, they all have a satin matte finish. Oh and of course they are neons! You have your standard pink, green, orange and yellow, they had a dark blue and a bright electric blue. This electric blue is appropriately named Bolts Of Blue.

The price tag on these polishes is $3.99 I believe. I could be a dollar off but don't quote me, and I'm not sure if prices vary from region to region. Its best if you check your local Rite Aid for the correct price.

Okay so enough with the rambling and lets get to the pictures. Stupid me forgot to take pictures before I stamped over the manicure. You can still tell how awesome this color is though.



First thing when I swatched this polish I wanted to either stamp something on it or use it for stamping and I think leopard print is perfect!

This polish is nice to apply. Two coats and its opaque. By itself matte its a very pretty color, but adding a top coat makes this polish a pretty gem! It just comes alive as an electric blue with tons of shimmer that is perfect for the upcoming summer!



I hope you all enjoyed this post! I also hope if you want this color you can find it at your local Rite Aid if you have one near you!
