Palm Trees and Treasure

Feb4

A couple of Fridays ago my daughter, Mary, and I had a girls night out. We had dinner went shopping and saw a movie. Dinner was nice at Ihop and we enjoyed getting to have some quiet time just the two of us and no men. Then we went shopping at Ross and Sally Beauty Supply. I found nail polish on sale at both places. Sales are always good. I bought some L.A. Colors at Ross and some Orly at Sally. Today’s post is about two of the L.A. Colors polishes. We finished the night with Hansel and Gretel Witch Hunters. Over all it was a very enjoyable and relaxing evening.

As I said, today I will be posting about two of the L.A. Color polishes. I used a solid and a matching glitter. I think I figured out the names of the two colors by going to the website and comparing the pictures. I do wish they would put the color names on the bottles. I don’t know about others, but I would be willing to pay a little more to know the names are right. The solid color is Palm Trees, and the glitter is Treasure Island. They were easy to use and have lasted a week and several days. The pictures were taken after a week of wear. I used L.A. Color top coat to finish the look.

Now for the pictures!!!!!

Pink Glitter Tips

Jan16

After Christmas, I hit the clearance sales and bought some of the polish gift sets at half price. I was playing around with some of these polishes to see what I could come up with the other day. I sent a picture to my daughter of what I did and she said that I had to blog it so here I am. We also had a break today from all the rain and sun came out so I took advantage and got my camera out and took pictures on the nails.
Today, I have a fun glamorous look for a very small price. I used two of the polishes that came in one of the sets to create this look. The polishes are from The Color Workshop by MarkWins International. I used a creamy pink for the nail color. It was easy to use and went on smooth and even. Then I carefully painted the tips with a matching pink glitter. It was easy to use and took just two coats to get the look I wanted. I used a topcoat by LA COLORS to finish it off. The pink by itself was a pretty color, but the glitter tips just gave it a touch of sparkle that set it apart.

Christmas Nails

Dec24

Here it is Christmas Eve and I have time to post again. I am going to tell you about my Christmas nails. I got lots of complements on these two Christmas themed nails. Yes, I am going to post both Christmas nails in one post since tomorrow is Christmas. I have been having problems with my nails chipping and peeling, so I am using Kiss nails.
The first one is a polish by Julep from their December polishes called Scarlett. It is a shimmery red with a hint of a pink, and perfect as a Christmas polish. I used two coats of Scarlett by Julep. It was easy to use and lasted a whole week with minimum wear. The sun light picture looks more orange, but the shade picture shows the true red color.
For the second Christmas look I used two colors. The main color is Big Money Frost by New York Color. It is a shear frosted green that took three thin coats to get the color I wanted. Next I used Sugar Cookie by Pure Ice. Sugar Cookie is a glitter with both red and holo glitters. It took several coats to get it to look like this. It almost looks like the red glitter are tiny lights. I have received many complements from people wanting to know where I had them done. The pictures were taken after two days of work and wear.

Now for the pictures!!! Enjoy!

Amethyst Ablaze by Maybelline

Here it is Friday evening, and I’m off both jobs today. I decided to take time today for me and just took it easy. My husband is at work and my son is in the back watching a DVD. Awww, me time!!! So as I am posting I am also watching TLC and redoing my nails. Today’s post is about a mani from last week. It’s a metallic purple from Maybeline called Amethyst Ablaze. This is much a prettier polish on then it shows in the bottle, and I received many complements while wearing it. I used a base coat of Nail Envy Matt by OPI, two layers of Amethyst Abaze by Maybelline, and a top coat of Double Duty by Sally Hansen. I took several pictures so you could see how it came out.
