Priti NYC, City Girl Rose.

2 coats. With Top Coat.

 I want to apologize for the lack of blog posts over the last week. After our weekend getaway to Laughlin, NV I was wore out (trips are exhausting aren't they???) and had to get caught up on some errands. This is what I wore on my nails for our weekend at the River. I wore Priti NYC on my toes as well; Hedge Hog Rose. It was a great combo. 

 The formula on City Girl Rose can be a little streaky. Even with 2 coats I had a few sheer spots but it wasn't enough for me to add a 3rd coat. The odd thing is it didn't translate to my photos at all. The consistency is nice and creamy though and it self leveled nicely and didn't take very long to dry. I loved the brush when doing my toes; it's a flat paddle style brush. But on my tips it was a little big and bulky but still a nice brush. I love this almost neon peachy coral. I finished it off with my 'usual'; Gelous & Seche Vite.

 I've been on a lucky streak; I won the 4 piece Priti NYC Bahamas Collection from Pampadour. I was so excited when I won them; Priti NYC is one of the brands I have been dying to try. In fact I had just recently bought my first one. The Bahamas Collection consists of City Girl Rose (this one), Hedge Hog Rose (a neon pink coral creme), Baby Blue Eyes (a bright baby blue shimmer), and Scotch Thistle (a dusty teal creme). I love each and every one of them and can't wait to wear the other 2 in the collection.

 I love me a good coral nail so I thought I would also compare it to some of the other corals in my collection.

Bottom Row; Left to Right: Essence Colour & Go, What Do You Think? / Jordana, Tangy
City Girl Rose is closest to Essence Colour & Go in What Do You Think? but they definitely are not dupes. City Girl Rose has more white in the base making it brighter. Essie, Tart Deco has more pink and reminds me of a much lighter version of Hedge Hog Rose.

From Left to Right: Barielle, Peach Popsicle / Priti NYC, City Girl Rose / Barielle, Orange Parfait.
I could use these 3 to create a nice ombre nail; they range from lightest to darkest and are all in the same peach family. 

 Are you a coral lover too? What's your favorite coral nail polish?

Salon Perfect, Kaboom and Shocked.

Image
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...
