NOTW - Jawbreaker

After 3 days. I really should have added another coat of Matte-ly in Love.
Base and first topcoat is Sally Hansen Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener. I used essie Waltz and Love My Nails White for the jawbreaker's 'outer shell'. For the speckled bits I used a mix of Sally Hansen Cherry Red, Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and ORLY Kinda Cool. Final topcoat is Hard Candy Matte-ly in Love.

More photos after the jump!

NOTW - Candy Sticks


I finally picked up the entire Revlon Sweetly Seductive collection (seen below) at Rite Aid on a BOGO 50% off. I'd been eyeing it for a while and couldn't believe my luck when I saw the little sale sticker on the display!

Base and top is Sally Hansen Green Tea + Bamboo Nail Strengthener. Each finger is between 2 and 4 coats to reach full opacity. For the striping I used essie Waltz with a photo retouching brush. (I really should have just taped it off though.) The left middle finger is 1 coat essie Waltz, 1 coat Orange Fizz, 1 coat Pineapple Fizz. The right index finger is 1 coat of Apple-tini Fizz between 2 coats Mint Fizz. 

As a side-note: they smell like fruity scratch-and-sniff stickers, nothing more - nothing less. Well aside from Colada Fizz, which smells kind of...musky. I've had this 'mani' for 4 days and can still smell them through the top coat. Obviously not not nearly as strong as day 1 without a top coat but I still catch the scent every now and then. They also haven't chipped on me yet and have a small amount of tip wear.


L-R: Watermelon Fizz, Grapefruit Fizz, Orange Fizz, Pineapple Fizz, Apple-tini Fizz, Colada Fizz, Mint Fizz, Grape Fizz

ORLY - Dazzle

The Smashing Pumpkins, Rolling Stone 1996

If you weren't thinking it before, you are now. NGL, this is primarily why I bought ORLY 'Dazzle'. This is 3 coats with 1 coat ORLY Top2Bottom as the base and top coat. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to hop in my DeLorean and travel back to the mid-90's to tell my 12 year old self how "rad" nail polish is in the future.
