Hey guys.

I was browsing Lawton's a few days ago looking for the Milani Rockstar Heavy Glitter Collection (to no avail) when I noticed a new Revlon collection. It's a small collection with 3 polishes. a few new lip balms (which actually look really nice but they were too expensive for my taste), a cream eyeshadow quad and a couple of new emery boards to match the theme of the collection.

At first glance the polish colours didn't look too interesting but once I picked up the bottles and took a closer look, I knew they were coming home with me.

Hey guys!

Last week I showed you my manicure with the new Sally Hansen Nail Polish Strips in the design Laced Up. I told you that I would leave them on for as long as possible and then write up a detailed review on them, so here it is.

I didn't end up being able to leave them on for 10 days as my nails were just getting too long and they were annoying me to no end. Plus, I'm used to doing my nails twice a week and even then I get bored with designs so you can imagine that I was getting antsy to remove these after having them on for 8 days.

Before we move on to the review, here's another look at Day 1 of this mani:



Warning: I was very detailed in my review, so this post is very long but if you're interested in this product, I think it's worthwhile to read the whole post.

Hey guys!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately but I've been super busy with school. I have an exam tomorrow, a paper due tomorrow, and a paper due on Friday so I've been working my ass off this past week.

I did manage to take a break tonight to do my nails and even though I wasn't planning on doing a St. Patrick's Day series, I got kind of excited when I started to go through all of my green polishes so I think I am going to go ahead with a series.

Also, I removed my Sally Hansen strips today which meant that they were on for 8 days and I'm still working on my review for those so keep an eye out.

In the meantime, here's the first in my St. Patrick's Day designs:



Products:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion Base Coat
Icing - Irish Gold (base for all nails except ring fingers)
Deborah Lippmann - Boom Boom Pow (over Irish Gold and base colour for ring fingers)
China Glaze - Jolly Holly (clover)
Seche Vite Top Coat

Hey guys!

Just a quick post today to give you the exciting news that I was the winner of the Illamasqua & AllYouDesire Competition! :D

As the winner, I am getting 4 Illamasqua Nail Varnishes in the colours: Grab, Scorn, Throb and Gamma which is a new colour being released with the Spring/Summer 2011 Toxic Nature Collection.



I'm super excited about winning as I really haven't ever won anything before! On top of that, I don't own any Illamasqua products and have wanted to try their nail varnishes for a while now but they're not available in my area. I have read some very good things about Illamasqua polish so I'm itching to try them and can't wait for that package to arrive at my door!
And of course, expect swatches when they arrive!

That's it for now, have a good Saturday everyone!

Hey guys!

Today I have a short post letting you know who was chosen as the lucky winner of 4 Wet 'n' Wild Color iCon Palettes! Many of you entered but unfortunately there could only be one winner.

Remember this is what the winner is going to get:



So, without further adieu, the winner is...

Hey guys!

Last week while I was at Wal-Mart I noticed a display of the new Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips and although I'm not really a fan of nail decals, I have been reading some really great things about these throughout the nail blogger community so I decided to give them a shot. There were a bunch to choose from but I decided to go with this one called Laced Up as it's a design that I know I wouldn't be able to create using free hand nail art.

I'm going to wait until I remove these to do a full review of them but as of right now, I'm super impressed!

So, onto the mani:



Products:
Salon Hansen Salon Effects - Laced Up
Seche Vite Top Coat



P.S. You may have noticed the watermark on my image. I'm not happy that I've had to start doing this as I really dislike the look of watermarks but I have been seeing many of my photos popping up on tumblr and other photo sharing sites without giving me any credit/a link back to my site. I don't appreciate this as I spend a lot of time creating and executing my designs and I would at least like to be credited for my work.
For now the watermarks will only be on photos of my nail art, not on my swatch photos and hopefully there will be no need to put them on swatch photos in the future.

P.P.S. My Wet 'n' Wild Giveaway is now closed! I will announce the winner within the next couple of days. Good luck everyone! :)

Anyways, have a good day everyone! And remember to look out for my full review of this product!

Hey guys!

As some of you might know, Nicole by OPI released 7 more shades with the Justin Bieber Collection and I recently came across them at Wal-Mart. I already reviewed and swatched 6 of the first shades here so be sure to check those out as well.
As I mentioned in that post, I forgot to purchase one of the shades at the time and promised to go back and get it to swatch/review it so I have included that one in with these new shades as well.

I only picked up 4 of the 7 new shades as the other ones looked a little too ordinary for me. Wait, actually, that's a lie! I did like one of the shades that I didn't get called Not a Gold Bigger but I didn't get it because it looked very similar to The Next CEO from the Nicole by OPI Liquid Metals Collection which I swatched/reviewed here. The other colours that I didn't pick up are Red-y to Runaway Love and I'm a Belieber.
