Hard Candy Sky

Friday Friday !!

Today's post is to show to you guys my beautiful pastel blue from Hard Candy called Sky. It's so pretty!! Like I said it's a pastel blue with an almost very very subtle holo shimmer. You can't even see in person if you don't get up close. I love this color. It's just to sweet of a color.

It's beautiful by it self but I wanted to add something to it so I went with some stamping. Use a metalic turquoise color and I think it went good together. Still lovely don't you think?

Now I gotta go, but wish you a happy weekend :)

Sally Hansen and an accent

Boring manicure but that's what I have to post here. I say it's boring but I am a little proud of myself when I do a little free hand here and there. I just attempted on my ring finger for an accent.

This is Sally Hansen Three D. A bright orange shimmer. Sad that fall is coming in the stores, clothes, colors and trends. Will I need to say good bye to my brights?

Do you guys wear bright colors during fall/winter?

Talk Tuesdays - 5 Great Nail Tips all of us should know

I am loving Talk Tuesdays. Are you? I kinda like that I get to share a good or funny and good video or even just write about my nail polish life on Tuesdays. The post from last week was a hit. Everybody seemed to enjoy the story of the prank I played on my husband a while back. lololo

Today I don't have anything funny like that. I bring something rather informative for those who are into taking care of their nails. I found this video where a guy share 5 great nail tips all of us should know. Take sometime and watch it. I really like Tom Bachik. And yeah that's a guy in the video sharing those great tips. Tom is great. I talk like I know him. I wish. Who knows someday we can go out just to talk about polish lololo

But anyways, watch this video. You guys might find your answer for some questions some of you have been asking me.

Nicole by OPI Make a Comet-ment - Nicóle by O.P.I Make a Comet-ment

First of all pictures posted here don't do justice at all of the real color of this nail polish. Because it's a holographic polish it's just so hard to photograph but I tried to do my best on my iPhone camera skills lololo

What I have here is Nicóle by OPI Coment-ment. It's a holographic multicolor glitter e a base gray color glitter. When I saw thhis bottle for the first time I was like "OMG, it's a must have it if you don't have the GOSH Holographic". Well, not that I would say that this from NOPI could be a dupe for GOSH which I would absolutely disagree. Becasue it's not as pigmented as GOSH Holographic is ( I don't have a GOSH my own but I have seen it in person). But in case you don't have, can't find or afford a  GOSH you should totally get this one from NOPI. See the pictures below now to see this beauty.

 INDOOR under artificial light : it looks just like a silver glitter but in person IT IS NOT LIKE THAT.

Then I took a very upclose picture of the bottle so you guys could see it better. It's close but it's even more colorful than what the picture shows.

 Then I decided to wait for daylight and shot some on purpose blurry picture so I could have more lucky with catching up the colors my eyes see on the camera. And ok, I take that.

And now we can see the sparkly I am talking about.

And here too. If you wanna click this picture to see it bigger. Do it and see if you fall in love for this polish. Cause I did. It's a must have it in your collection. Except i have a hate realationship with Nicole by OPI bottles. They are funky and totally throws me off when I think of getting one of them.

 And explaining the picture above: that was shot outdoors with daylight. When I let the focus work then I can't get the camera to catch all the multicolor shimmer of the polish. That's why on the pictures above I had to shot with no focus. I guess the camera lens can't focus on the colors but just on the metalic silver glitter.

What are your thoughts on this polish based on my pictures?

Sally Hansen Salon Manicure

Good Morning to you my friends! Hope you guys are enjoying our last days of Summer :) Hope you guys are still sporting out your bright colors on your nails. What are you wearing for this weekend?

Today I have for you a beautiful yellow.I am starting to fall for yellows lately. I don't know why. What I know and I have talked here a lot about it is that I am not ready yet for fall/winter at all. I have so many spring/summery colors I want to be wearing :)

This one here is one of them. I want bright colors, I want flowers, I want warm weather and shorts. People have been complaining here that's been so hot but come one my last 4 summers I was in AZ and that is hell hot like. So, let me enjoy the summer here. I am loving it.

Below the pictures you see is  what I wore for daysssss becasue I loved it so much.

This is Sally Hansen Yellow Kitty from the Complete Salon Manicure line. It's a pale soft yellow. I know, it's not as bright as it is on the picture though. The picture doesn't do the justice of the real color. But it still looks great on the picture though. I love these polishes. Starting with the bottle. It's a great bottle. it's kinda looks fancy. On the top of the brush there is a bubber around it wich makes it easier for grip. The brush is big and wide. Super perfect for application. The formula is really good. No complaints about it. And you can get the color in good 2 coats just smooth. The wear is fantastic. No chipping. I just acetoned it off cause I want to change my nail color. it's a great great polish. i have a few of them and will be showing to you guys.

PS: My cuticles are oily cause I had applied some cuticle oil. Sorry!

And also I am sorry if I am being a little rude. I don't mean to but I have to clarify this before hand. It's just cause that thought just crossed my mind and decided "better make my thoughts public right now". I have seen so many people copying pictures of others claiming to be theirs and even publishing on blogs. It's just wrong! But anyways, let this contest be something fun to be part of . Thanks again!!!
