Bite The Bullet...

Wet n Wild MegaLast "Bite The Bullet" is such a beautiful color! It goes on very evenly and opaque in one coat. This Creme lacquer comes with a great brush! The brush seems to shape to my finger nail and allow for great coverage the first time around. I did, however, use two coats just to be on the safe side :-). I would defintely reccommend this product!

The bottle has a different shape than other bottles which makes it easy to hold while you polish your nails. What kind of shape do you like for your polishes to have?









The Brush:

The Brush is similar to this brush by Sally Hansen.


Check out the color for yourself with different Fingerpaint Flakies: "Asylum," "Twisted" & "Motley" I liked "Bite the Bullet" best with Finger Paints "Twisted."

"Bite The Bullet" with Finger Paints "Twisted" on top:

Check out the way "Twisted" Flakes sparkles on top. It's just beautiful.

I love this combination. I got several compliments when I wore these two together.













What do you think of the two together?

I can't wait to try other colors!!

Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color

Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color are Toluene, DBP and Formaldehyde free and are available in 16 shades. Most retailers are selling these for $5.79 and up. I have been hearing good things about the Sally Hansen HD (Hi-Definition) polishes, but I never bought any. No real reason, I just didn't. I heard a tip that Christmass Tree Shops had them for $1 I decided to see if one of these stores were located in my area.



I had never heard of this store before and I located two stores fairly close. One was within 20 minutes. I found the store and located the Sally Hansen HD Nail Color for $1! The bad thing is that they only had three different colors: "Pixel Pretty", "Lite" and "Cyber." According to Sally Hansen HD polishes are "Patented formula with Real Liquid Crystals for multi-dimensional color and iridescent shine!"



Pixel Pretty is a blue-green color. It was my favorite of the three I tried. I like how thin it was and not too runny. Cyber is the Purple color. It was really close to my favorite, but I'm more of a blue girl :-). This one went on with little issues as well. Two coats and the color was lovely for both.



Finally, Lite. Well, Lite is yellow. I'm not really a fan of yellow so Lite was okay. Lite was also a little runny, much more than the other two. I had spillage onto my cuticles over and over. I removed and removed and then I was able to do two coats, FINALLY! I'm already not the best nail painter in the world and Lite added to my frustrations. This was my least favorite. I would probably use Lite on my toes only due to the mess it kept making. I'd say I'll definitely use it again though.




Here are some picture of the colors:

Pixel with flash and without a flash. Love this color!!

Cyber is very nice, too! Again, with the flash for the first two and without a flash for the last one.

Lite is a very pretty yellow, but this was too thin and runny. The first is without a flash and the second one is with a flash.


What do you think of the Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color? Do you have any? How was the formula?


I will definitely be on the look out for the other 13! :-)

Orly Androgynie

This weekend I decided to go dark with my polish. I still wanted a little sparkle so I chose to go with Orly's Androgynie. This color is beautiful! It's a black base lacquer with small glitter sparkles and big colorful hexagon sparkles.

This is how it looked on.

Here's a close view. I tried to get close to show the colorful pieces throughout. (Sorry to get this close it is a little blurry.)

I was just swatching this color at first and then I fell in love with it and had to do my whole manicure.

I loved this lacquer, but I wish Orly would have added a little more of the color pieces into the mixture. I didn't get a lot of color on every nail. Some nails had one or two pieces and some nails had lots of color. I just wished it was a litle more balanced. Overall, I'm satisfied.

What do you think of this color? Do you have it?

Green, No Envy

Hey beautiful people, today I'm going to be comparing 3 polishes. I have been in love with Greens lately and I have no idea why. I have found some similar colors and I still wanted them. Can any one relate? The first one is Zoya's Holly. I know I've talked about this one before. I love Holly. She is such a beautiful green. Holly as we know is a opaque green with slight yellow/gold metallic shimmer. Holly is from Zoya's Gem and Jewels Holiday Collection 2011-2012.


 






China Glaze has two of the three I'm showing today. They are Holly--Day and Glittering Garland. Both are from China Glaze's Let it Snow Holiday 2011 collection. Holly-day is a dark holly green no shimmer no sparkle, but is just beautiful. Glittering Garland, on the hand, is filled with green glitter/sparkles throughout. This is probably my favorite color of the 3. It is just  beautiful.

Glittering Garland:



 

Holly-Day:


I feel all three colors can be worn year round and not just around The Christmas/ Holiday season. They are all too gorgeous to let sit around and only use one time a year.
What do you think of these Greens? Are they too close? Would you have all three?

Sally Hansen Fairy Teal & Blingtastic

I like to show you guys the colors I choose when I do my manicures. In this post, I will share Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure's "Fairy Teal" with an accent nail of Sally Hansen Gem Crush's "Blingtastic." I love a gilttery, sparkly manicure, but most times I like only an accent nail to actually have the glitter on it. An abundant amount glitter/sparkle can be too much for the eye to handle sometimes.These Sally Hansen prodcuts have a wonderful brush:Left: inside with flash Right: outside with flashI saw a swatch of Gone Gonzo by OPI and I thought to myself, " That looks like the Sally Hansen Gem Crush Blingtastic." I pulled it out and compared the swatch with the bottle and they look pretty similar. I do not have the Gone Gonzo so I'm not sure if the teals are dead on, but the concept is surely the same. They both have lots of Teal and small amounts silver glitter throughout. Here are the pictures of the bottles:

$8.50 at drugstore.com

Sally Hansen Gem Crush Nail Color Bling-Tastic

$6.99 by Sally Hansen at Walgreens

Can you see the similarities in these two? They are pretty close in price OPI IS $8- $8.50 and Sally Hansen is $6.99. If you are looking for Gone Gonzo and are unable to find it a good dupe would be this Sally Hansen Gem Crush's "Blingtastic." I got my Sally Hansen Gem Crush's "Blingtastic" for $3.99 on clerance at Meijer. What do you think of these Sally Hansen products? I must say that I do love them and the colors!! I'm a satisfied customer.xo Tamala*all products were paid for with my own money. All opinions are mine.
