St. Patrick's Day Nails!

A simple St. Patrick's Day nail look. I used Sinful Colors in Exotic Green (1105) and then over that Sephora By O-P-I  in Only Gold For Me Top Coat.  I also used my Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat over all my nails. 

Did you do a St. Patrick's Day nail look?

Valentine's Day Nails (look #3)

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. I spent the day with my bf in NYC. We went to Madame Tussuads (wax museum), walked around and went in some stores, and ended the day with a nice dinner.

So even though Valentine's Day is over I have one more Valentine's nail look. I had wanted to post this before yesterday but I just didn't get the time to (since I only did this look on Tuesday night). This is the nail look I wore on actual Valentine's Day. Also turned out to be my favorite Valentine's nail look that I did. 

I used Wet N Wild's megalast nail polish in Haze of Love. Love this color. I then made two hearts using Sinful Colors polish in Snow Me White. I did the best I could using flossing picks because I am still waiting on my dotting tools to come in. Then over all the nails I used my new NYC Matte Me Crazy Mattifying Top Coat.

I am loving the look of matte nails. I saw at Rite Aid this past week that Sinful Colors also has Matte Top Coat.  

Have you tried the matte nail look?

Christmas Nails

Hello all, I know its way past Christmas but I still wanted to share with you all the nail look I did.

I started off with Sinful Colors in Ruby Ruby (369). And did a accent nail with Sinful Colors in Exotic Green (1105). Then over the red I used Sally Hansen Crackle in Antiqued Gold (06). Over the green accent nail I used Sally Hansen Diamond Strength in Diamonds (05).Over all of my nails I used my regular top coat Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat.

Review and Collection: Sinful Nail Polishes

Hello everyone! I have been talking about writing this blog post since the summer and I am finally doing it! Here is my review* and also collection of Sinful  Colors nail polishes. Over the summer I picked up and tried this brand for the first time. You can find these polishes at most drugstores and stores like Target and Walmart. I think they retail for around $1.99. I ended up really liking these polishes and I now have a collection of 8! I am sure it will grow in the future.

I like these polishes because:

•  How affordable they are.  You can't beat $2 for a nail polish. I only have a few higher end polishes. Not only because I am on a limited budget but you can find some drugstore polishes that are just as great as the higher end ones and cost so much less.


•  They apply very nice. I have never had any problems with applications. I  usually do two coats and I am good to go. I don't really know exactly how long it takes for them to dry since I usually give my nails extra time to dry because I get so annoyed  when I do my nails and then mess it up right away.


•  They are long lasting. I do use a top coat over them as I do with all my polishes now. Over the summer I had two colors that I wore constantly and I could go days with little to no chipping especially if I kept my nails short as I usually do.


• There is a wide variety of colors. Keep in mid though that some stores have more than others, like my Rite Aid carries more colors than my Target. So if you are looking for a particular color you may have to check out a few stores to find it.

My collection:





The colors I have are (starting at the top row left) 369 Ruby Ruby, 5162 Seaweed, 101 Snow Me white, 2 Black On Black, (second row bottom left) 921 All About You, 62 Purple Diamond, 947 Mint Apple, 952 Hazard.

Here are some of my past posts using Sinful Colors polishes:

• Mint Apple


• Hazard


• Ruby Ruby

and my latest nail post, the black polish I use under the glitter polish is a Sinful Colors nail polish:

• Black on Black

A few of them I have yet to use.

In closing I will say that I definitely recommend these if your looking for a good inexpensive nail polish.

Till next time. :)

Nails: Black On Black & Party Of Five Glitters

Hello all! Last night I finally decided to do my nails. I had on my previous polish for about two weeks (I just touched it up on week two). I had picked up another new Wet n Wild polish when I had picked up the one from my previous nail post.The polish I got is one of their fast dry ones and it is a really pretty sparkly polish called (238C) Party of Five Glitters (I think it was around $2/$3). I didn't want to just use the glitter polish though. I wanted to have a base color under. All week I had been debating what color would would go with this glitter polish, out of the colors I already own. I finally ended up going with black (inspired by this blog post).

Now I don't think I have ever worn black nail polish before. I don't know why but it kinda scares me. Maybe because it can be very intense. So I figured putting the glitter on top would help lighten it up. I bought black nail polish because I figured it would be a good basic color to have in my collection. I used Sinful Colors in (2) Black On Black. Then I used the Party Of Five Glitters polish on top after that dried. I wanted a lot of glitter so I had to go over each nail a few times. When that dried (or at least I had though it did) I used my Sally Hansen Strengthening Top Coat.

The problem I ran into was that it took a super long time for it to dry. I guess because I had so much polish on???? The glitter polish did not seem fast dry in my opinion. But then again I did like 3 coats on each nail so I would get extra glitter. I have to try out the glitter polish again before I make any final conclusions on it. A couple of my nails got  a little messed up from not being completely dry and me hitting them on something ( so frustrating!) but in the end it ended up being barley noticeable.



What do you think of this nail look?

Till next time. :)
