I'm a nail polish kind of person. I absolutely love doing my nails. I'm always on the lookout for fun colors of polish. At Sephora, I wasn't really intending to buy any nail polish, but my sister wanted it so I bought it. It's pretty expensive for a nail polish ($4), I mean you can get polishes for $1 or less! I can't really describe the color because it changes with the light. It's more or less like a pinkish purple color. Super pretty!
Review:
Product: 4/5
Quality: 5/5
Overall: 4/5
Color: #49
Price: $4 at Sephora for 0.16 fl.oz/5 ml.
Other colors it comes in:
I'm not going to list them all because there are 60 colors... You can find all the colors here: http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P74514&categoryId=S10701&shouldPaginate=true
My thoughts:
I love this nail polish! It is sooo pretty, but I think it would be more of a winter color. Summer is all about bright neon colors! Lol. I painted my nails like 4 days ago, and it still hasn't chipped; with the help of a base and top coat. It is very smooth and goes on very nicely. It is pretty sheer so I had to paint 2 coats. The Sephora website describes it as "opalescent lavender". The price... it is pretty expensive for so little product. I could buy 4 NYC or 2 Sally Hansen nail polishes for $4. NYC and Sally Hansen also has almost 4x and 3x (respectively) more polish! Otherwise, it's wonderful =). I wouldn't buy it again because of the price.
My Look:
What I used:
Base Coat - Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in Clear
Polish - Sephora #49
Top Coat - N.Y.C New York Color Extra Shiny Top Coat 271A
Sticker - 3D Kiss brand

Kiss 3D Tip and Toe Art
Can't afford manicures every two weeks? Do them yourself!! These nail stickers add the finishing touch =). These are wonderful, looks good, and easy to use. I wanted some nail stickers for my nails so I picked some up at Target. It comes with 2 sheets of stickers. The first sheet has white flowers in various sizes and patterns. The second sheet has purple and white flowers.
REVIEW:
Product: 5/5
Quality: 4/5
Overall: 5/5
Price: $3-5 at Target, Wal-Mart or any drugstore.
Advertised As:
-Flexible Stickers
-2 Sheets Included
How to Use:
1. Carefully remove sticker from sheet.
2. Place sticker on dry, polished nail and press down gently.
3. Apply topcoat to entire nail surface. Let dry.
My Thoughts:
These are great!!! The stickers are really easy to peel off and apply to my nails. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures... my volleyball starts today so I cleaned and cut my nails super short. The only thing that I don't like is that even with top coat on, some of the stickers peels off. Be sure to cover the entire sticker with top coat!!! Maybe even 2 layers of top coat. I love how it comes in different sizes so you can find a perfect size for each nail. I use the big stickers on my thumbs and the smaller ones for the rest of my fingers. If you are looking for something fun and easy to use, I suggest these!

Sally Hansen!!
Today, I went shopping at the mall and Victoria's Secret had their semi-annual sale going on so I bought 2 things. I got Bare Bronze liquid lip shimmer in Decadent Glow. It's a really deep brown color, but I really like it! It might be a bit too dark for people with lighter skin tones. Next, I bought Beauty Rush tropical cocktails body double mist in Mango Madness. Pics and reviews will come later!
More Sally Hansen items! At Target, I bought a french manicure pen in pure white, and I also got a nail polish in Almond Crunch. I love Sally Hansen's nail products sooo much!
French Manicure Pen: I don't think this product is very good at all... The polish comes off really easily, and it says it dries in 30 seconds, but it takes wayyy longer. You definitely have to put top coat on or else it will peel away. The polish also doesn't go to the tip of the pen so its really hard to get even lines. Don't recommend at all!!!
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Nail Polish in Almond Crunch: This is such a pretty color!!! It is like a brown maroon color with golden shimmer. It also hasn't chipped since I put it on... 6 days ago! But, I used the Sally Hansen base coat and NYC top coat so that helps. Yeah, these aren't in review form because I didn't feel like writing it out. If you want more in-depth reviews please email me!

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails
I was at my local target a few weeks ago, and decided to get things for nails. One of the things I bought was Sally Hansen Hard as Nails in Clear. There was also a tinted kind, but it looked kind of weird. It was $1.97 and it comes in a clear glass container and a brush applicator just like any other nail polish. The directions on the bottle: Apply to a clean, dry nail surface. Use 1 - 2 coats. Let dry between coats. Onto the review..
REVIEW
Product: 5/5
Quality: 5/5
Overall: 5/5
Price: $1.97 at Target or wherever Sally Hansen products are sold.

Umm... I don't remember because I threw the box away... oops! Sorry.
My Thoughts:
This stuff is simply AMAZING! My nails used to break when they got long enough and it annoyed me so much! Since I bought this 2 weeks ago, my nails haven't broken or even chipped a tiny bit! I have been going swimming a lot lately and it peels off in the swimming pool, so I have to keep reapplying. It dries pretty quick and leaves a nice shine on your nails. Now I don't have to worry about my nails breaking =). This can be used as a base coat, and I definitely recommend that you use this as a base coat. It strengthens and hardens your nails and the acrylic from the nail polish won't damage your nail beds. Has anyone tried the tinted kind? If you have please let me know.
