Revlon - Lime Basil - Parfumerie Scented Nail Polish Collection

Hey Hey Hey! It's so beautiful outside I almost can't stay inside long enough to write this post. Here in Indiana right now it's Sunny and 75° :) No complaints here haha

Anyway today's post I have a new polish that I bought over the weekend from CVS. I have a couple of these Revlon Parfumerie polishes and I really like them. The only thing about this Lime Basil one is that it was actually pretty strong as far as the scent when I first painted my nails last night. The smell reminds me of Zest soap lol - is that still around? LOL Am I too old? Anyway... I really like the color and think it's a great "spring green"

The following pics are two coats of Lime Basil and one coat of Out The Door top coat.

Let me know what you think! Do you have any of these "scented" polishes?

Essie 2014 Neon Collection - Serial Shopper and Chills & Thrills

Hey Everyone! So I am so excited about today's post :) I finally got my hands on the entire Essie 2014 Neon Collection. I had originally found Too Taboo at Kohl's about 3 weeks ago, but that was the only one they had! So finally after weeks of searching in Target, Walmart, and CVS and not finding a trace of any of them - I finally went back to Kohl's yesterday and they had all of them!! I was so excited and felt so lucky considering they literally had one of each left haha - So of course I swooped them all up and here we are. 

For this look I wanted to do some sort of nail art (as usual) so I went with a leopard print accent nail. I used my "go-to" white base - China Glaze White on White - for the base of each of nails. As most of you probably know this is the best way to get that neon to POP! On each of my fingers I used Serial Shopper which in my opinion is the ultimate "summer" shade and on my thumb I used Chills & Thrills which is a beautiful "blurple" color. For my accent nail I just used a dotting tool and a small art brush for the leopard spots. I sealed everything with my Out The Door Topcoat.

Oh! I forgot to mention, I got a new camera that I'm still trying to figure out but so far I am super psyched about it! I got a new Canon T5i Rebel DSLR camera - this being my first "big girl" camera I am pretty much intimidated ha ha but so far I love it! I am already so stoked about the color accuracy compared to my other Canon.

Enough rambling!! Let me know what you think!

Earth Day Manicure - OPI Don't Mess With OPI

Happy Earth Day! I wanted to do a quick post of my Earth Day manicure....I had a hard time getting a shot without a glare over the accent nail - but you get the point :) I used OPI Don't Mess With OPI for the base and for the "recycle" symbol I used my "go-to" white polish - China Glaze White on White. I created the symbol I just free-handed it with a small paint/art brush I bought from Michael's a while back....

Enjoy the pics! Did you create a special Earth Day mani?  If so comment a link to you pic so I can check it out :)

Essie Play Date and Nicole by OPI Roughles Sand in My Shoe - Easter Manicure

Happy Easter Everyone!

This year's Easter manicure I decided to do something simple. Honestly I just came up with it this morning and finished it as my family was arriving for our cookout. I used Essie Play Date for the main part of my manicure and Nicole by OPI Roughles in the shade Sand in My Shoe on my accent nail. I thought both of these colors were really "spring/easter" like. This is the first time I've used the roughles type of polish - I really like it :) I am not sure if I would use it on all my nails or not but I really like the texture and color too! To create my little bunny I used China Glaze White on White and a Sally Hansen nail art striper in black for the eyes. Now on to the pics... I hope everyone had a great weekend and a great Easter :)

Sonia Kashuk - Raincheck

Hey Everyone!! Long time no post :) So basically I've been MIA for a while as you can tell considering it's seriously been an entire YEAR since my last post. But what can I say? It is what it is... lol

For this post I've got a really pretty blue polish that I bought from Target last weekend. I swear my sister Emily and my mom and I go to Target every. single. weekend. That is not an exaggeration it is the truth LOL I am sure we aren't the only ones to do that? Anyone? Anyone? LOL Oh well.

Now let's get on to the polish. For this manicure I used Nail Life Nail Revitalizer as my basecoat and two coats of Sonia Kashuk Raincheck and one coat of Out the Door as my top coat. I really love this color - it's a gorgeous blue and this polish was a very nice formula. It was smooth and barely took 2 coats. This is actually only my 10th bottle of Sonia Kashuk polish and I have to say it's my favorite.

So take a look at the pics and let me know what you think! Have you tried any Sonia Kashuk polishes?
