Nailventurous Lacquers, Orange You Unique.

Nailventurous Lacquers, Orange You Unique. 2 coats.

My apologies for the blurry photos... my camera refused to focus on all those matte glitters.

It was finally time for me to rock my absolute favorite of Amy’s nail creations; Orange You Unique. Is it ever so unique?!? I actually wore this to my best friends’ son’s birthday party just so she could see it in person (she’s a nail person too).



The formula on OYU is really awesome too; very densely packed with matte glitter in white and blue with an orange tinted base. No undies required; it did require two coats of Seche Vite Top Coat to smooth it out. Of course the consistency is very thick, but I had no application issues.

You can get Orange You Unique and a few of Amy's other polishes at Ninja Polish.
I highly suggest checking out her blog, I'm Feeling Nail-Venturous, too!

This will go down as a favorite of all time for me… It’s so different and this is THE indie that blew my mind when I first saw swatches of it. There has never been any other polish that screamed to me like this one did. Was there a particular indie like that for you? Tell me about it!

Salon Perfect, Kaboom and Shocked.

I've got two of the new Neon Collision polishes from Salon Perfect. Kaboom. 3 coats. Shocked. 3 coats. On a trip to my local Walmart I got super lucky and found an enormous cardboard display the size of a SmartCar full of these Salon Perfect polishes. Because it is so rare to find a full collection/display at my particular Walmart, I went ahead and bought all 6. For me that's really not that crazy because I love matte glitter. Plus, the price point is excellent; $3.99 ea. However, I did post a picture as I was standing in the checkout line stating I needed an intervention. Soon after that I put myself on a No-Buy. No polish purchases until July 12th. Then, I will reward myself... Hee Hee Hee. The formula on these is tricky. Let's start with Kaboom; an awesome mix of blue and lime green matte glitters. This resembles a popular indie we all know and love called 'Floam' . It's probably the Holy Grail of polish. I don't own it but I own some of the o

China Glaze, Red Satin.

China Glaze, Red Satin. 3 coats.  Sunlight.  I've been a little obsessed with red polish lately. It all started when I was looking for a good red polish and I realized that a good chunk of my red collection was not cruelty free. So, I began my hunt to find cruelty free replacements. Luckily, we have a huge surplus of great reds in current collections. Red Satin is one of the reds I decided to add to my collection. It came from China Glaze's Holiday 2012 Collection with quite a few other great reds. This one is a bit different because it is a jelly finish. It gives a nice squishy appearance on the nail yet builds up to opacity nicely in 3 coats. I highly recommend letting each coat dry thoroughly before adding the next. The formula is a little on the thin side and you need to be careful in application to avoid pooling at the cuticle. Dry time did take significantly longer due to the need for 3 coats, but I kind of feel it was worth it. Red Satin looks quite similar to

Review: Cover FX BB Gel, Mattifying Anti-Blemish Treatment.

Image
It's always been a battle for me to find a good foundation. Between adult acne, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, under eye circles, deep lines, and an Oily T-Zone... I'm screwed. Ha! Ha! Sorry, you just gotta laugh. I mean, if I ever find anyone with more going on I would have no choice but to cry for them. I also have the annoying issue of my skin sometimes deciding to change its mind during season changes. I can go 6 months with incredibly oily skin and then wake up one morning with my skin so tight and dry it feels like it's about to tear. I sometimes battle dry patches on my chin and by my lips. Which makes no since because I always wear lip balm, moisturizer, and my T-Zone is often so oily you can oil up a hinge with the oil on my face by 3pm.  I've been hearing raving reviews all over the blogosphere about Cover FX products so when I heard they were coming out with this new BB Gel I instantly knew I would be ordering it.  Now, this product is not cheap at $4
