Favorite combination of nail polish 4/15/2015

Wednesday, April 15, 2015

I thought it might be fun to share the way I have been doing my nails lately. I use a combination of:

-Essie Coat Couture #974 from the Cashmere Matte collection
-Essie Summit Of Style #946 from Luxeffects collection
-Mini Gelish Top It Off in combination with the Gelish lamp.

I got mine at Sally's beauty store, I opted for the LED light instead of the UV light since I feel safer using the LED light.

Make sure your nails are completely free of nail polish and cleaned. If they are not the matte coat will dry funny and it will mess up the whole system...

So don't mess up the system.

Coat 1 of Essie coat couture.

Coat 2 of Essie coat couture.

Only one coat of Essie summit of style and one coat of Gelish Top It Off.

Put your nails under the light until the light goes out... I usually do four and then my thumb.

They are super shiny afterwards. Even using the matte coloring it ends up a very nice shimmery shiny color.

One day I am going to go buy the matte Gelish top coat and just use the coat couture. I love the color by its self.

12 day blogger challenge: Day 2!!

Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Day 2 of the blogger challenge is to review a product, service or brand!

1. Sally hansen Gel Top Coat: Now.. I know you are supposed to use the strips with this but i feel as though this works too!! I really like the gel coat over my nails, I always get it at the salon for the extra $5... I feel like this has definitely been worth the money.. I payed like, $15 dollars for the whole thing and loved it! It is good quality top coat that, when you do it correctly, and will keep your polish on for a long time. It works better with the gel polishes that are meant to go with this product but really does do a good job with other polishes too!

2. Sally Hansen Matte coat. I love matte finish because sometimes it looks better than just having the regular shiny top coat on. It's also nice to change things up sometimes! I love this product because it goes on smooth, yes you have to work faster than normal because this does dry fast but that's one thing i like about it. I can be very busy and like to have my nails looking nice, sometimes i don't have an hour and a half to make my nails look amazing. It isn't too thick unless you put more than one coat on which i personally don't think you need more than one coat. The bottle this comes in has the matte finish on the bottle and i think that is a genius idea!

3. The 'Autumn Spice' Revlon Parfumerie Nail Enamel, which smells amazing. Is probably my new favorite fall nail polish. You can imagine how it smells! Like pumpkin and cinnamon lol It only takes about two coats to give it a nice amount of sparkle and color and it isn't thick at all! I can't even feel it on my finger nail. I have to say the bottle these come in are absolutely adorable. I might find a way to keep them if I ever actually use the whole thing! lol

4. The 'Bordeaux' Revlon Parfumerie Nail Enamel is such a sweet yet savory smell. It almost like an apple smell with a hint of sweetish wine. lol I love this color as a darker shade which normally takes two coats but if you want a brighter red shade you can do one coat and it looks just fine. Again this is a very smooth polish and works well in making nail designs.
