Sinfulcolors -- Street Fusion Summer Collection


It goes on beautifully and I only need two coats at most. It goes on smooth, dries fast, and comes in a TON of amazing colors. Is there anything else you could possibly need in a polish?
Sinfulcolors is a long lasting durable polish that is super affordable. They offer a vast array of colors from Matte or shiny colors to glitters and metallics plus everything you can think of in between.

I have an extensive collection of SinfulColors polishes and continuously to add to my collection with each new color that is released.

Today I get to tell you about the summer collection. I didn't get to choose my favorite colors this time I was sent a premade package.  Which was fine with me, new polish is never bad and I haven't really met a color I didn't like.

The entire Street Fusion collection is broken down into mini collections. All with fantastic names Bombay Nights, Latin Heat, and Tokyo Nights.

The Colors I got where from the TOKYO LIGHTS COLLECTION: 

-


Sky Tree:          Sparkling teal
Otaku Anime:   Bright yellow with extra sheen
Pink Ansen:        Jagged glitter in punchy pink
 Fuji Fiji              Holographic silver glitter
Keira Blu:         Dazzling indigo      
Maroon Fine:   High-Shine Metallic Copper

This collection is RIGHT up my ally. I love bright, bold, neon colors!  The Keira Blu and Maroon Fine surprised me, I would have pegged them for a fall collection. They were beautiful but not neon or summery to me.





Oh and I forgot to mention Sinfulcolors is now offering nail stickers. So I got an amazing pack of Neon Appliques Hot Tips!



Here are all of the Street Fusion Colors:


then there's the Graffiti Bombs and Pinita Blast Glitters  
I have an obsession with glitters although they never want to come off. 




Find your favorite colors on SinfulColors website 

This new collection will sale for $1.99 each, nail polish and appliques and they will be available at Walgreens and other mass retailers for Summer 2015.

Sinfulcolors Spring Fever Collection



I'm mentioned before I have always been a huge fan of Sinful Colors nail polish. It goes on beautifully and I only need two coats at most. It goes on smooth, dries fast, comes in a TON of amazing colors, and it's extremely affordable. What more would I need in a nail polish?

When I was asked to review the Spring Fever collection I was extremely excited. Besides I love Spring and it's is on the way very soon right?!?

I love any color of polish you put in front of me and these were no exception. There were so many amazing colors in the spring collection I had no idea which ones to choose. I chose four glitters and one solid color, although glitter feels like it's superglue when I'm trying to remove it I'm very attracted to it. Plus I prefer a polish with a shine compared but I still will use matte colors on occasion.

The colors I chose are:

Petal of the Day -  A beautiful glitter with purple and blue flecks. It can be worn alone or a topper. The look is brighter and bolder when worn as a topper. I find white always makes a great background .







Standing Bloom Only  - An orange glitter polish with purple flecks . I never would have bet I would like purple and orange together but it is really pretty. They compliment each other in a way I would have not expected.

Flower Power - A lilac glitter with various colors of purple and white flecks. Too shear as a stand alone for me but works beautifully as a topper. 










Ring the Belini - This is a solid orange glitter. I have said it before and will say it again. I LOVE glitters like this. They are very easy to apply and do not show mistakes as well as other polishes. 








and 








Flight To See - I was very skeptical when I saw this one. It's a hyper shiny iridescent purple. But it went on beautifully.   



If you have never tried Sinfulcolors polishes, you should pick some up on your next shopping trip. They not only have the most amazing selection, the last a long time, they are not finicky and I have never had a Sinfulcolor polish stain my nails. No matter how dark they have all removed very easily with no stains even without a base coat. I always forget to use a base coat! The glitter is an exception to the easy to remove but if you wear a base coat it does make glitter a lot easier to remove. 


All these beautiful colors to choose from! 


I'm pretty sure I will pick up a few more of these colors. I want to try Prized Plume and Zest of Times for sure. Once I see them in person I bet there will be more that catch my eye. If you want to pick up your own polish you can get them at any local drug stores or WalMart. 

Don't want to leave your house, find your favorite colors on SinfulColors website

Couture Gel Nail Polish Review + Giveaway



I love nail polish, I'm sure you know that by now but I just had to say it. I was very happy to work with Couture to bring you this review and giveaway because I have never tried gel polish. I have tried copy cats that don't require an LED light but I have never tried the light.

This is a start up kit so it comes with everything you need to get a salon look at home. When I say EVERYTHING I mean it too!  Along with the basics of the LED light dryer, top polish, bottom polish, and a gel color polish of your choice. It also comes with a bottle of remover and cleanse. Another reason I never used gel polish is I heard it was super hard to remove but this set includes the remover and instructions on how to quickly remove your polish. But that's not all it also comes with a bonus manicure kit.




                                               
The manicure kit includes toe separators, a cuticle tool, file, buffer, and brush.  All of this come with an instructional DVD.  You know instructional DVDs are a great thing because a LOT of times I think I know that I'm doing but there are tricks that can make it so much easier or better. So I was very excited to see there was a DVD I could reference on my first use.


To me the hardest part was choosing ONE color. There were so many that I loved .They have glittery, light colors, bright colors, classic colors,bold color and I had a hard time selecting the ONE I wanted but I finally was able to narrow it down to Aloe Very a green tint with a glitter look to it.




I have to say I was skeptical that there would be any difference using a gel polish with LED light but I'm sold. I may start using gel polishes from now on.  The polish is much thicker and has a different smell that traditional polishes. It's sortof finicky but the great thing is clean up is a breeze. And truthfully it was not as messy around my fingers as other polishes. One good thing is I dropped some on the computer desk and it wiped right off.

Also, in a little under 15 minutes I had both hands polished with topcoat, color, and basecoat and DRIED. Yes ladies and gentlemen dried completely. Not that false oh I think it's dried ~~~ UGH it just smudged. I put each coat under the LED light for 60 seconds so that is 5 minutes each hand for application and drying. So all of my hard work didn't get ruined.



If you want to get your own kit Couture offers a kit with one polish or a kit with three so if you want a variety of colors that would never be a bad thing! I mean they do offer over 100 Bold And Beautiful Colors
Reasons to buy? The polish will last up to 3 weeks, is free from harmful chemicals, made in the USA, with no animal testing

Star Grazers collection from Polish Yer Hooves


I have three more amazing polishes from Polish Yer Hooves to share with y'all. The Star Grazers collection is unbelievable they are all very sparkly and beautiful. I got to choose three to review with them all being so pretty this was not an easy task. But these are the ones I chose. They are available in her Etsy shop and you can choose a full size or you can buy a pack of 3 - 4 minis.

The first one is Sacred Cow. Is a sparkly orange/gold. This is 2 coats with no top coat. This one is very pretty and would work well for a manicure for any season.

The next one is Kiss my Hooves.  I'm not a huge fan of red polish but this is absolutely stunning.  I won't say it's my favorite because every time I turn around LeighAnne comes out with something more spectacular but I will say I LOVE it. The shine is unbelievable and this is with no top coat.

Last but not least in anyway is Cow Teals, this marvelous creation speaks for itself.  Can you see how it sparkles? I love blue polishes and this one blew me away.


All of the Polish Yer Hooves polishes I have used were very easy to apply and I love that the sparkly ones don't show my application mistakes. For being full of sparkles they are not overly gritty and dry extremely fast.  Polish Yer Hooves polishes are made for busy woman. I have done my nails and turned around to wash dishes 15 minutes later, not because I wanted to and cringing the whole time. But I walked away with the same beautiful mani I started with no smudges, no chips.  I can't tell you how many times I have fussed because after an hour I wet my hands and ruined my hard work.

These polishes are also EXTREMELY durable I am very hard on my nails, I'm sure I don't have to tell you how many dishes I wash with five children?  With that said, if I have a mani make through a day with some type of chip, smudge, or nicks I'm really lucky and very happy. After three days of wearing these I still have what I consider a beautifully intact mani.

There are  10 other unbelievable colors in this collection so you may have a hard time choosing just 3 or 4. I know I did. I ordered 3 more colors that I'm dying to try out and will soon be sharing with y'all.  Just a reminder you can order a scent and with these I chose chocolate and blueberry. They were both very light but distinct and pleasant. So don't forget to treat yourself to a scent you won't regret it.

As if making amazing polishes isn't enough to prove her talent. LeighAnne also offers an array of hand painted bottles and jewelry.

                                                 I had to borrow on of her pictures to share with y'all
Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen? That is hand painted I am truly impressed, this will be my next purchase. 

I received the three above polishes complimentary in exchange for an honest uncompensated review. As usual the opinion expressed is all mine.

Sweet Tea Polish






Here in the south we love sweet tea, I can drink it with breakfast, lunch, or supper it doesn't matter to me. The sweeter the better. Now I have a new reason to love sweet tea but I can't drink this one.

I'm excited to feature Sweet Tea Polish.  The artist behind Sweat Tea Polish, Darah has lots of beautiful colors in her Esty shop under Designsbydarah. She may include a piece of adorable jewelry with your order. Wouldn't that be a nice surprise? Some of the jewelry includes a burst of a Sweet Tea Polish Color.   I received my package and was so impressed by how cute it was. Darah wrapped it in pink tissue and tied with a colorful string. You could almost see the love she puts in her work. I was super excited that I received not one, not two, but THREE polishes to try.

 I didn't make it to the end of the day without trying the first polish, Garnet Girl. This is a beautiful deep red and it dries matte but if you want to kick it up notch add a top coat and watch the beautiful shine. The polish went on smoothly and evenly it also dried extremely quickly. This is a great fall color it looks great by itself. If you like nail art, I can see doing some little green leaves or even little pumpkins.

Indoor 
 The next color is Garnet Girl Glitter which screams fall to me. It has tiny but very visible flecks of black with red and gold glitter flecks as well. The bottle is filled with glitter so you get some on the brush every time you dip it so I did not have to fight to get an even coat. As with all glitters I give this application tip dab the brush onto your nail instead of stroking the brush. This only ensures that the glitter doesn't smear. The GarnetGirl and Garnet Girl Glitter can be paired to make nail art. I am a glutton for punishment because I know there is superglue somewhere in the glitter polish recipe but I think they are amazing. Removal hint soak a cotton ball in acetone then press it to the nail for a few seconds. The glitter will come right off.  Oddly enough my girls removed their glitter polish with NO problems. I must add this glitter is very smooth, even without a top coat it does not stick up or flake off.

Indoor 
The last featured polish is Mint Julep which is a beautiful mint green. As with the other polishes this one goes on extremely smooth and easily. The first coat is very light so you do need at least two coats. I will have one problem with this polish, it reminds me of my favorite ice cream. Can you guess what flavor that is? 


This picture shows the Garnet Girl Glitter Ring that was included with my polishes.  I think this is the most adorable ring. It is a swatch of the polish but it is versatile. I would wear it with any outfit it matches.

Polish Yer Hooves - Nail Polish



I'm super excited to tell you about an emerging new polish maker! The super sweet LeighAnne sent me bottles of her work to share with all of you.  Her brand name is Polish Yer Hooves. Why that name you ask? Well LeighAnne states simply,  Although she can't explain why, she has had a love for cows since high school.  She has collected them, used cows as kitchen decor, and dressed her children in cow themed clothes.  So when she tried to come up with a name for her polish used love for cows and polish and came up with Polish Yer Hooves.  She advises against using the polish on cows or horses,  they don't like that.

 I was so excited when I saw the two she sent me Save Da Udders, which is a pink polish with a lot of sparkle! LeighAnne recommends a top coat once Save Da Udders dries because it has a slightly gritty feel to it. Truthfully I'm terrible about remembering a top coat but I did three coats and I did not find it was gritty. This polish was made for Breast Cancer Awareness and Polish Yer Hooves will donate will donate $2.00 per bottle. It is noted that Breast Cancer is something LeighAnne supports because her Nana was effected by it.
I'm a girly girl but I'm not drawn to pink at all,  purple is more my color. When I grab for polish it is normally not a pink but when I saw Save Da Udders I fell in love, It is udderly beautiful.  The polish itself is very easy to apply and goes on smoothly, two coats were plenty enough to look flawless. It is not a thick polish but it is not thin, so the consistency is prefect. The brush itself was also very nice and made polishing my nails extremely easy. The brush fit in the nail corners without making a huge mess.  Once I applied it I couldn't stop looking at it. Polish Yer Hooves also offers a variety of scents in in the polish I chose Rose and forgot. Imagine my surprise when I started to polish my nails and the distinct smell of roses hit me. I can still smell the scent after 2 days of wearing the polish. If you have never tried scented polish I would recommend it, it was a very pleasant touch. I will include a list of all the scents a little later.  I am already thinking of cute nail art I can do with this polish. I think white strips or white hearts on top would be very cute. LeighAnne suggest doing clear/white nails with pink tips. Stay tuned for nail art pics!


As promised here are the scents you can choose from 
Apple Cinnamon                                         Streusel Baby Powder 
Blueberry Muffin                                         Lemongrass
Lilac                                                          Vanilla Lavender                          
Chocolate Lovers                                        French Lavender
Fresh Cut Roses                                          Hyacinth 
PiƱa Colada                                                Sandalwood
Strawberry Cheesecake                               Vanilla Bean 

Don't they all sound amazing? I had a very hard time choosing. Add one to your polish today for only $0.50
extra. All bottles are handmade and 3 free, they cost between $9.00 and $10.00.
