Talk Tuesday - No Ride Up Commercial - Be careful if you have super long nails

I was watching TV with my hubby and I saw this panty commercial. I laughed so hard I couldn't stop or hold myself back for minutes and minutes. It's hilarious! At least to me. The girls are talking about the art on their nails. Fake and long ones by the way lololo. Then on of them has an issue with her panty. Also know as "underwear malfunction". What the heck! That situation puts me on my laugh mode for ever. Even writing this post right now lololo. Sorry, I know I am such a dork.
I know sometimes we need to deal with that. I am just glad I don't have super long forever nails lololo
This is a really short 30 secs video. Watch it and let me know if it makes you laugh too :) Have a great Tuesday. Now, off to my real life!

Monday Mani PaA - Creative Layering

Finally got to upload these pictures.
But anyways, PaA had a theme for this Monday I didn't really enjoy but come on I like challenges. So here I tried my Creative Layering. I can't say it's creative but layer it is.
I started with my base color that I had during the whole weekend. The lovely Essie Absolutely Shore. Love this pastel mint color. This is the third time I wear it and I am kinda sad cause I've been looking for that one to buy me another one and also to my friend Angel and just can't find.

Then I did a coat of Sally Hansen Crackle White, too bad you can barely see on the picture. But In person it looked kinda fun. I did some green stripes then add some glitter.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!! I will try and see if I can be more creative for next week's challenge.

Essie Products Giveaway Winner!!!

It's passed midnight on Sunday. Tomorrow is gonna be a crazy busy day for me. Oh yeah, no wonder Monday is waiting for all of us lololo

My giveaway with Essie products is now CLOSED. That means I can draw a name and see who is the lucky one to snag 5 great Essie items I posted up for grabs.

This drawing was done electronically through random.org

We had 208 entries for this giveaway. And random.org generated NUMBER 5. It was just so odd cause I hardly ever see it pick it up a low number. It's always something in between. But being odd or not person number 5 is gonna love because that was her lucky number right?

Now, let's the drums roll and pretty loud to say CONGRATULATIONS to:

MARY LEE

I have sent her an email already and I hope that makes her happy. Well, it would make me happy. Specially me - laugh. I have never won a giveaway before lololo  Mary, thanks for being a follower of Lacquered Me. Thanks for participating in this giveaway. Congratulations!!!! I'll be mailing a little box to you on Tuesday :)

PS: I also have to say that I have more than 208 entries. I had to put 5 people away from being in the drawing of this giveaway. I am very sorry! :( The reason is that to participate of my giveaways YOU DO NEED TO BE A FOLLOWER of my blog. You can call me a freak but I check every single entry to see if you are a follower. I just don't think it would be fair to the other followers participants. Don't you think? You have probably forgot of follow my blog. You can still go ahead and follow me and be in future giveaways. Thanks for understanding guys! Love you all and care about every one of my dear followers :)

I'll see you later. I'll try to make to my Monday Mani before Monday is over I promise.

Sally Hansen HD High Definition Nail Color

Sally Hansen HD Nail Color

Here I have some swatches from Sally Hansen HD Collection. I've got only 5 of their 8 nail polishes in this collection. They retail for $6.49, depending the store. Each bottle contains 0.45fl oz/ 13.3ml. Very fun bottles and theis brushes are just really good.

For the record on this swatch of Sally Hansen HD Nail Color:

- Great formula. Exceptions below.

- Very good brush.

-  2 coats for these pictures

- Would you recommend them? Some colors.

And now, to the pictures:

 LASER - it's a pretty holo blue with lots of micro glitter in it. Depending on the light you can see purple shimmer and lots os sparkles.

 BYTE - pink holo with lots of micro purple glitter. It looks pink/purple depending on the light.

 Three D - a bright shimmer orange. Very pretty!

 DVD -  it's a blueish purple with lots of purrple and blue micro glitter to it. I wish I had applied 3 coats instead of just 2.

HUE - I was very disappointed with this one.  It's a shimmer yellow with sparkles. It looks so pretty through the bottle but it's just too streaky on the nails. I even applied a coat of Seche Vite top coat to see if it would even out but no success. May be it was just me. I'm sorry!

What do you think abut them? Have you tried any of these before? what's your opnion?

If you wanna buy them you can find that collection at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Target.

Jordana Nail Polish

Have you seen Jordana nail polish before?

I have tried them HERE and HERE on this blog before. I really like them and think the colors are beautifully opaque. I received some other colors from Jordana Cosmetics and would love to talk more about some awesome shades of nail polish they have.

First of all, I want to say Happy 25th Anniversary to Jordana Cosmetics. They have been out in the marketing for a quarter of century. They also have their products proudly made here in the USA. That is so great!

They said their commitment is to offer everyone fashionable cosmetics of superior quality at affordable prices. And it really is.

You can find these nail polish on their website Jordana Cosmetics or Kmart for only $1.99. It's a great buy for such great quality of a product.

Their nail polish are 3 free - DBP, Toluene and Formaldehyde. Each bottle contains a good amount of 0.5 fl/oz or 15ml.

Just for the record on swatching these polish I want you to know, if not stated below that:

- I used 2 coats to achieve the color you see. Exceptions below.

- No top coat added

- Brush has good quality and offers good application

- Color on nail is true to the bottle

- Finish very good

- No streaky. Exception below. The shimmer ones are a bit streaky though. I guarantee about the cream colors. Jordana cream nail polish are great! Truste me.

- Only downside but yet not too bad -> goes towards shimmer colors. They don't offer great application. Too streaky. I did not post one colors here cause it was awfully streaky ( Jordana Foiled in Pink). You are gonna find an exception in everything right? Although that didn't work for me, it might work for you. But don't miss the chance to try other shades. I really really think Jordana nail polish are super good, specially the price.

- Would I buy or recommend them? Totally. Specially the opaque cream colors. They are gorgeous.

Now to the pictures.

 ORANGE JOLT - it's a shimmery orangesicle color. A little streaky but still ok after applying Jordana's base coat.

YELLOW DAZZLE - I really love this one better on the nail than in the bottle. It's a cream banana yellow with glitter and sparkles in it. There are a lot in the bottle but when applying it looks just subtle on the nails. I love it. The application was great!

 BERRY PARFAIT - the name for this one is suitable for the color. It's a cream super opaque parfait pink. I only used one single coat. Can you believe that? Yeah, I told you, I lovecream opaque colors from Jordana. This one is a must have it.

FASCINATED WITH RED - how wouldn't I be fascinated with such a beautiful deep red like that one? This is gorgeous!!!! Are you kidding me? I love this polish. No wonder, I left this one to be the last one. I only used one single coat and no top coat at all. Look how opaque it's it. Look how shinny it is. Just perfection!! Yes, I am fascinated.

Tell me, which one is your favorite?

Would you like to see more Jordana her eon this blog?
