Manicure Monday

I've been really using nail wraps a lot lately. Sally Hansen nail strips are some of my favorite but you can't save the extras because they will dry out. I have some Essie Sleek Sticks which are just nail stickers. 

Show Me All Your Stuff

They look pretty and people will notice them. I'm not the biggest fan of them but I have a bunch so I'm trying to use them up. The stickers are not comfortable on my nails and start peeling up on the ends of my nails. Here is a picture after just 24 hours. 

I would suggest these for a special night or event but not for long wear. 

I'm looking at trying Jamberry nail wraps next. What are your thoughts on them?

Manicure Monday

I had heard that Ulta had a few different brands of makeup on sale and they are going to quit carrying those brands. I went to check that out and found that they are getting rid of Pop cosmetics line. I've heard great things about their nail polishes and Mint Magic is a cult favorite. They only had three colors at my store and Mint Magic was one of them. These normally retail for $10 but my store had them on sake for 50% off plus I used my 20% store coupon. I basically paid $4 for the polish. 

This is such a pretty pastel/neon mint color. The formula is just alright to me. The first coat was pretty streaky but was able to get a good finish with the second coat. I normally do two coats anyway so that didn't bother me. 

I love this polish and I'm so glad I found it on sale. I have seen these polishes on HauteLook from time to time. 

The other brand I found at Ulta that I'm sad they are getting rid of is Cargo. Cargo has some fantastic blushes. Go check out the sales at Ulta.

Manicure Monday

Are you scared of nail art?  Something as simple as using a few different colored nail polishes in the same manicure adds a lot of interest. 

I used all these for one manicure. It's so simple and makes a statement. 

China Glaze: For Audrey

Essie:  Set in Stones

Sally Hansen:  White Out and Celeb City

I love the Tiffany blue color. It's such a classic color. Don't be scared to mix up your manicure with a few different colors.
