Island Girl Aloha Luau and Big Island Volcano

Hello,

Here are 2 Island Girl polishes that were given to me as gifts.

I put 2 coats of each and a coat of top coat.

The colors are so pretty.

The formula was decent, a little patchy, but resulted evenly.

I am happy to own both.

You can take a trip to Hawaii or Las Vegas to purchase this brand.

Or you can visit http://www.abcstores.com/browse.cfm/2,75.html

Thanks for stopping by!

Island Girl Aloha Luau dries matte, but looks better with top coat to me.

I took all these pictures with my phone in direct and indirect sunlight.

You can see the tiny bits of shimmer in both of the polishes if you look closely.

Ninja Polish Chameleon

Hey again!

Here is another Ninja Polish today.

This is also from the Dragon Collection.

Ninja Polish Chameleon is shown in 2 coats over Zoya Jem.

I put 2 coats of fast dry top coat to smooth out the surface 

as well as speed up the drying process.

Lets talk about the polishes I used.

Zoya Jem was the perfect choice for undies.

It is from the Fall 2011 Mirrors Collection.

It is a jewel toned plum purple with gold shimmer and glows on the nail.

Now on to the star of show, Ninja Polish Chameleon.

I will be honest and say, I was not as excited when I first put it on.

But, when I got to my car and saw the obvious color changes.

I could not drive until I have snapped the pictures below.

Do you see the purple, red, orange, pink and even blue??

Amazing.

I purchased it for $11 at ninjapolish.com

This is currently out of stock.

But, you can sign up for emails for its return

PS: I recently started back on being healthy and workouts. 

I lost 15 pounds in the month of August, which on my small frame, made a big difference.

It was by partying so much and barely eating, no very healthy.

However, I gained half of it back.

I am now working on toning up, especially my legs and butt.

And hopefully dropping a size or 2.

I will post updates at the end of future nail posts if you want to read them.

Last night I worked out for 2 hours...

I played 1 game of basketball.

I did legs with weights (squats, lunges, more squats with weights, and machines)

Then...(I was really pushing myself)

I did the Spartacus workout, 4 workouts, 10-20 reps, 3 times each.

I was dying during this...it is hard.

Then I stretched out for 10 minutes.

I was so pooped, I could barely walk after all that! lol

I ate sushi for lunch, a health bar, a banana, and another health bar before bed.

I honestly, was too tired to eat.

I drank a lot of water though.

Today is a new day and I hope to get back in the gym for another hour 

as well as keeping my food intake clean and minimal.

My goal last year was to look good in my Halloween costume.

This year my goal is to look good in my 3 outfits for

Tomorrow World.

Tomorrow World is an outdoor EDM Music Festival that lasts for 3 days.

I will be sure to posts pics when that happens at the end of September.

Ninja Polish Basilisk

Hello! 

I have one of the new Ninja Polish Dragon polishes today.

This is Ninja Polish Basilisk.

This glitter bomb has green, gold and hints of blue shifts in a clear base.

This is my favorite of the bunch.

My husband said "Looks like you have dragon scales on your nails."

He was so proud when I told him the name and 

that he got it right, lol.

I started with my usual base coats. Then,

I put 2 coats of Sancion Angel in a 

forest green color as the base color

then I put 2 coats of Ninja Polish Basilisk

and then 2 coats of fast dry top coat.

Currently, this polish is sold out.

But, you can sign up for restock emails and grab one

China Glaze Sci-Fly By

Hello!

Here is another polish from the 

China Glaze Hologlam collection

released earlier this year.

I have 2 coats over my usual base coats.

I did use fast dry top coat.

I had chipping after 1 day on my pointer finger :(

I was pleased with the look and the formula as it went on.

The holographic particles are very fine.

China Glaze Sci-Fly By has a linear holographic effect in the sun.

The bottle doesn't show much, it looks more like a metallic polish by first glance.

This blue reminds me of clear skies on a summer day, never ending blue.

I like it.

Again, these polishes can be found in Sally's Beauty Supply

in the clearance section and maybe in your 

local TJ Maxx for only $2.99.

Of course, the easiest find would be online.

Thanks for stopping by!

KIKO 643 and Swap package

Hey there!

I recently received a package from a swap buddy in Austria.

She was kind enough to find some of the new texture polishes for me.

This is one of the ones she found for me.

Kiko 643 is shown here in 2 coats.

The fresh spring green has gold shimmer accents.

The stay time was great.

 I wore this manicure for 2.5 days and

with no top coat or bonder base. 

It did not show tip wear much less chips.

 I have so many pretties that need love, so I removed it.

I loved wearing this polish.

I love how texture polish dries fast and looks

shimmery without top coat.

Below you can see the entire package I received.

She added a bunch of extras like

lip balm, lip cream, lip stick, face cream, nail glitter, and nail polishes.

She was a sweetheart to add all those items.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pahlish Little Caroline

Hello! 

Pink Wednesday is coming in a bit late.

This is Pahlish Little Caroline in 3 coats a lone.

Little Caroline is a bright pink jelly polish with iridescent flakie glitters.

I was not able to capture the color correctly in the soft box photos.

However, the photos I took with my phone on the bottom show 

the colors best as well as the glitter.

This polish is like Deb Lipp's Sweet Dreams' little sister.

You can visit Pahlish's store here...

China Glaze Cosmic Dust

China Glaze Cosmic Dust

I applied 1 coat of Duri Rejuvacote and 1 coat of Orly Bonder,

 then 2 coats of China Glaze Cosmic Dust

and 1 coat of HK Fast Dry Top Coat.

Cosmic Dust was released in the

2013 spring/summer Hologlam collection.

Most of the people were disappointed in this collection.

I was not.

I think they were hoping for a Color Club Halo Hues type of holo.

These have their own place in the holo world.

I like the smoothness of these polishes.

They are metallic holographic polishes.

Cosmic dust is a blue tinted steel grey.

If you notice in my pictures, the holographic pay off is strong.

It is just not visible in the in bottles like most holographic polishes.

Every one of the Hologlam polishes are awesome 

in my book and worth the buy.

A lot are on clearance now at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Also, someone spotted them at TJ Maxx for $2.99 each!

I would suggest grabbing these if you can.

I will probably get a few more back ups if I run across a good deal.

Thanks for stopping by!
