Fuzzy Coat nail Polish by Sally Hansen


Fuzzy Coat nail polish by Sally Hansen




I bought one of the new Sally Hansen's  nail polish from the "Fuzzy Coat" collection.  Of course  I thought geez could it really be fuzzy, haha blonde moment no its not fuzzy it just dries with a textured feeling on your nails.  I guess you could say it looks fuzzy because their are small bar glitters (if you cut the regular size bar glitters in half).  These polishes might look better over the top of another polish.

Nail Polish Dupes! Always making updates...

DUPE ALERT !!!

I have a few dupes to talk about for now.  I have many many more dupes to talk about in later blogs.  I recently went to CVS and bought Sally Hansen Mermaid's Tale.  I realized once I brought the polish home it looks a lot like the Milani polish that I have called 582 Teal.  Mermaid's Tale has a very faint blackish base to it that still allows the glitters to show through it just darkens the polish up a bit.  Milani's Teal has a clear base color.  I'm going to show both colors at one coat and then again at two coats so you can see the differences and the similarities. 

 
Mermaid's Tale & Milani's Teal
 
 
One Coat:  Milani's Teal & Mermaids Tale
 
2 Coats
 
I like both colors and I'm glad that I purchased both because they are slightly different but if you are someone that is interested in seeing the glitter sparkle and be a little brighter I would pick the Milani color.  You can add the Milani color over the top of other polishes but Mermaid's Tale really wouldn't work on top of other polishes because of the dark base color.
 

More Dupes

 

More dupes that I have noticed come from the 2 polish collections that I have reviewed recently.  The sinful color polishes specifically In the spotlight, Bombshell and Fantasy are very similar if not exact dupes to a few of the Wet N Wild polishes from the toppings collection.  I also ran into a China Glaze polish that were similar to these polishes which were called Pizzazz & Rainbow Connection.   I'm sure their are many more similar polishes with the rainbow glitter I just have to find them.  Here is a picture of the polishes that are all close in color.

Thanks for reading I will have many more dupe blogs to come.
 
UPDATE 6/11/13:  I keep finding more and more polishes that have the multi glitter look to them.  I bought a few from the drugstore so I will be adding them to the blog this evening.  Please always look for updates because as I find similar polishes in stores I add them to the dupes as need be.  Thanks for reading.

Pure Ice Nail Polish Collection

Pure Ice Nail Polish Collection 2013


I went to Walmart this evening and of course had to take a look at the nail and makeup section.  As I was looking around of course I spotted some new racks with pretty lights that made these new Pure Ice nail polishes sparkle like diamonds.  I picked out 4 polishes for now and am contemplating going back when I get paid to grab a few more.  They had quite a few glitter polishes to pick from.  The price of these polishes are just under $2.   For now since we are in the middle of a lightening/thunder storm I can only post one picture of the polishes.  I usually like taking a few pictures outside because the sun helps show the glitter.  Darkside has large round holographic purple glitter in a smaller purple glitter base.  Endless Fortune has a larger gold diamond shape holographic glitter in a smaller gold glitter base.  Sheer luck has larger pink and green diamond shape holographic glitter in a smaller green glitter base.  Dazzle me has larger silver holographic glitter in a smaller silver glitter base.

Orly's Megapixel FX Collection


This collection from Orly has 6 polishes.  Its a 3D polish that has a textured finish a lot like the OPI Sand collection.  The names of the polishes are Rose Pixel, Aqua Pixel, Silver Pixel, Black Pixel, Plum Pixel, and Pink Pixel.  The names completely describe the colors of each polish.  The 3 from the collection that I have a called Rose Pixel, Aqua Pixel, and Silver Pixel.  Right now they are buy 2 get 1 free at Ulta or you can go directly to the Orly website and buy them there.

 
Silver Pixel (L) Rose Pixel, Aqua Pixel (R)
 
 
I love these polishes along with all of my Orly polishes.  They wear great and last a long time.   Pick them up while they last because I'm not sure if they will be included in the permanent collection.

  Sinful Colors Paparazzi Collection 2013 Limited Edition


Sinful colors came out with a new collection called Almost famous or in most stores its called the Paparazzi collection.  I am not sure why they would name the collection different depending on the store but I personally have only seen it called the Paparazzi collection.  In the collection they have 8 colors.  The colors are called Stardust, Fantasy, In the spotlight, Show Stopping, Paparazzi, Bombshell, After party and Lush life.  They are all glitter polishes and 2 are a glitter holographic polish.  Two of them are very similar to the wet n wild polishes from the topping collection.

 
 
 
 Lush Life (L) & After Party (R)

 


 
Show Stopping (L) & Star Dust (R)

Fantasy (L) & Bombshell (R)
 
The 2 that I don't have are called Paparazzi ( Magenta glitter) and In the Spotlight ( Seafoam green base with rainbow glitter). The other 6 that I own I would describe as:  "Lush Life" is a Blue/Green Glitter, "After Party" is a turquoise glitter, "Show Stopping" is a Light pink glitter base with pink holographic glitter, "Star Dust" is a magenta & purple glitter, "Fantasy" is Light pink to magenta color shift base with rainbow glitter, and "Bombshell" is a light green glitter base with rainbow glitter.
 
 
I would recommend these polishes.  The polishes wear very nice although I do change my polish every few days.  They are limited Edition so go out and get them while you can.  My stores in my area (30 miles) are starting to sell out of certain colors. 
 
Thanks for reading my blog please follow me I do updates on Makeup and/or Nails twice a week :)

Wet N Wild Toppings Nail Polish Collection 2013



Wet N Wild came out with a new line called toppings.  These nail polish bottles look like lollipops which is kind of neat.  I have seen them out in stores for the past 2 months.  The collection of polishes are very similar and have an oil slick color changing property to them with multi color sparkles.  The thing that makes each polish different is one looks more blue in hue and one is more purple and so on.  I have 4 of the polishes from the collection because they really do look a lot alike.  One thing I don't like about these polishes is that they have just a tag that tells you the name and the tag pulls off easily so I don't know the names of my polishes I own ( I do know the single polish in the one photo is called confections of a Bake-aholic.  I suppose I will try and get the names for you soon, I might just have to take a trip down to the store and write them down LOL.  I have taken a few photos of the polishes in different lights so you can try and see the true color.  They over all are very pretty but I am not sure if I would buy them again.   I'm sorry I don't have more facts on these quite yet I just haven't seen to many reviews on them.  I will add some swatches as soon as I go to the beauty supply store tomorrow.  I will add the swatches to all my blogs so please look for them.

   
 
Thank you so much for reading my blog :)
 
 
 

Wet N Wild new nail polish collections Spring 2013



Hot Rocks Collection
Left to Right
18k Gold (Large gold Holographic Tinsel & Large Gold Holographic regular glitter), Caught on Sapphire (tiny blue ultra fine glitter & large blue glitters), Quartz of Course ( small silver glitter & Large purple glitter), Emerald the Crown Jewel (Small green glitter & larger green glitters), Rocking Rubies (tiny red glitter & larger red glitters).  I do not have the 6th color in the collection called Penny for your thoughts (Orange glitter).  18k Gold, Penny for your thoughts, and Emerald the Crown Jewel have holographic sparkle in it.  I didn't like the orange as much because it looked like the color of the polish muted the pretty glitter in it.  The color might be different when its on the nail sometimes certain polishes look better when they are on the nail and vice versa.  The Hot Rocks collection has many similarities to Orly's FX Glam collection. I will be posting a dupe blog soon full of cheaper polishes that are close if not exactly the same as many higher end polishes from beauty supply stores. For example Rocking Rubies ($2) is a dupe for Orly's Rockets Red Glare ($8).  I would pick these colors up since you cant go wrong at such a cheap price of $1.99 (Rite Aid, CVS, Walgreens etc..)  I have a few more close up pictures to help you better see the glitters in the polish.  I must say I LOVE glitter polishes.

Impress Press-On Nail Manicure

I have tried out 2 different styles of the press on manicures and overall I am excited to get more.  They seem to stick on your nails fairly good (make sure you clean and prep nails with Alcohol first).  I did carry in my purse a bottle of nail glue.  Some of the nails fell off more quickly than others so I glued them back on. Gluing them back on did make them last longer than the press on glue that came included.  So just note to self if you plan on wearing them for a few days make sure you buy some nail glue.  I peeled the glue off that came on the back of each nail and then glued the nails back on with the instant nail glue.   I included a picture of the bottle and a picture of the nails on my fingers.  These nails if you don't lose them should last for multiple uses as long as you keep them clean and buy the instant glue.  I plan on having quite the collection.

 
The bottle that the nails are in unscrews and the bottle opens in half.  You can just put the nails back in the bottle after your done using them (pick glue of the back with tweezers though).
 
 
 
Thanks for reading and I hope you all love the nails just like I did.

New Maybelline 24 hour Color Tattoos Spring/Summer 2013!!

These are the new Maybelline 24 hour color tattoos out for the spring/summer 2013.  It comes in 8 shades, and in my stores they only sold 6 but I'm hoping to find the other two soon.  These are the six colors that I have right now.

All 8 of these colors are limited edition so hurry and get them now.  They have been selling out in stores near me very quickly. The picture I have of the swatches don't do these justice you really need to see theses colors in person and in the sun because they change colors and have lots of shimmer.

 
 
 
I will add the 2 other colors once I find them but I do know one is a pearl color and the other is a blue that also shimmers pink.  The colors that I have starting from the top left is Lavish Lavander (pretty purple color), Waves of White (shimmers a pretty blue), Shady Shores (mustard yellow that shimmers green), bottom left is Cool Crush (frosty blue that also looks pink in some light), Seashore Frosts (blue that shimmers peach) and Icy mint (light minty color) My least favorite are the Icy Mint and Shady Shores. My favorite from the colors I have right now are Cool Crush and Seashore Frost.
 
Thanks for reading my blog and I hope to have many more new makeup and nail hauls to show you very soon.
