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.

Craving Coral by Revlon

Oct11

I am again without my car. 😦 We took it in for a front-end alignment yesterday and it needs the bearings replaced. It should be ready today sometime. So I came home and did my nails in a bright happy color. It’s amazing how something as simple as a different nail color can change your mood, and pick you up. Then add a little glitter and now your fingers and mood sparkle!

My nails have been chipping and peeling so I started with a base coat of calcium builder by L.A. Colors to help the nails. I added two coats of Craving Coral by Revlon. It is nice bright creaming color that went on even and smooth. To add bit of sparkle I added one coat of Don’t You Wish by Pure Ice. It is a clear polish with tiny holo glitter. For a top coat I used L. A. Colors basecoat-topcoat.

Now for the Pictures (don’t look at the cuticles)

Red White and Blue

Jul2

I have started getting ready for the 4thof July. Today a painted my first design on my nails. I used a base coat of Nail Envy by OPI. Then I used 2 coats of Energy Source by L.A. Colors because it a little streaky. Then I used Ruby Stilletos by Sally Hansen and Blue Iguana by China Glaze. And I finished it all off with a topcoat of Nail Envy. I know it’s not perfect, but it’s not bad for doing all myself.

All pictures were taken outside on a cloudy day.
