Sinful Colors in Hot Spot (66)

So I found this on a very random day. I went in to browse and see if there was anything new. I saw they were restocking the cosmetics section and there was a pile of old shelves with some random Sinful Colors in them. This little guy was right in front just singing for me to take him home with me. So I did. It's a deep blue metallic. Im pretty sure it was a LE from an old collection so I don't think you can get it.

Influencer Vox Box Review

So today I am going to review the Something Blue Vox box from Influenster. This was sent to me free of charge for review purposes.

This is the box I got its more of a pink than a purple in real life. And once you open it up it looks like this.

On top are a few pages on whats contained in the box.

The kiss lashes one is actually a coupon for a dollar off another set of lashes. Nice bonus. Now onto the item for review.

Hmmm at first looks I'm not sure what to think. This is supposed to be a box that's suppose to be full of products to be used at a wedding. So lets dig further and see what is actually in the box.

So if this was my wedding or if I was attending a wedding ache and pain relief to go is going to be a big plus. I wouldn't be wearing my glasses due to glare in the mass of photos that will be taken. Between no glasses and all the loud noises I can only foresee a headache coming. Ill just slip that into my little purse and bam! headache-be-gone!

 Now for those oh so perfect pearly whites. Luster Now! is an instant whitening toothpaste! Very nice indeed. Who doesn't want that all the time? Ill definitely be doing a further review of this. I have soft teeth that discolor easily and if they found a way to bottle that oh so white after the dentist whiting effect Im sold. Take my monies now please!

As a single girl I have to have ready to flirt eyes. A little falsies to give my eyes that extra vrooom! I have a choice between soft and sweet 01 and Lush and sexy 03. Personally I'd go with the 03's because I'm sweet enough. And you can never have to much sexy. Then when you get on the dance floor and you dance til you start sweating and your makeup is starting to melt off you can touch it up with the qtips.  The points on the ends will really help to fix the smudges under your eyes without pulling too much
                                                                                                       
Now just think if you inserted these ball of foot inserts into your skyscraper heels then you may just find yourself dancing in those ridiculous shoes that you thought would be perfect for the big day. You might even get more than 2 songs in too. I have used these already in my wedges that I love but since I started wearing boots everyday all day for my job my feet can't really handle being in heels for long. I was able to get a solid 4 hours in my wedges with these. Considering I only got 30 mins in them before I count this as a must have item even if you aren't going to a wedding any time soon.

I hope this review was helpful. If you would like to join influenser just leave your email down below and Ill send you and invite. I only have 5 to give away but once you are invited you have 5 to give away yourself. 

Until next time...

Day 67- Sinful Colors in Fiji (65)

Ah Fiji, warm summer breezes, white sand, and plenty of relaxing, Well this polish is not a breeze. Its pretty in the bottle but on the nails? Not so much. It was apart of the perm collection.

Total: /10
Dry Speed:2 points- This polish is thin so it dried fast.
Price: 2 points- Supercalifragilisticexpialidociou!.

Application: 2 points- It's thin but the brush is great.

Wear: 1 point- I was able to get through my shower before it started to peel off.

Opaque: 0 Points-The pigmentation sucks for this color but it would make a great accent topper since its so shimmery!

Day 68- Sinful Colors in Luminary (64)

I have a soft spot for Sinful Colors as we all know by now. So when I saw this color posted in NTMS I had to hunt it down and own it. RIGHT THEN AND THERE! Sadly my quest was ended when I found out that all of my local stores were SOLD OUT! Later that week I was browsing all of the new collections and there hiding in the back between two displays was my beautiful Luminary. Its a coral orange with soft silver simmer. It's not that bad to take off either.

Total : 8/10
Dry Speed: 2 points- this dried in under 2 minutes.
Price: 2 points- : ) Budget friendly line.
Application: 2 points- Smooth as a baby's bottom.
Wear: 1 point- I did have some tip wear on the first day but no major chipping.
Opaque: 1 point- It did need two coats to be completely opaque, but that's the minimum I put on anyways.

Day 69- Sinful Colors in Neon Melon (63)

Ahh Neons! The staples of summer! I love neons, hate how sheer most are. This is part of a limited edition collection that was released for the summer for the past few years. 

Total: 8/10
Dry Speed: 2 points- Like most of the neons by Sinful Colors, this color dries super fast.
Price: 2 points- I picked this bad boy up when they were having a .99 cent sale.
Application: 2 point- I can always depend on sinful colors to have great brushes. Plus the formula was smooth and applies cleanly.
Wear: 1 point- I had some minor chipping after 24 hours but it survived its encounter with water.
Opaque: 1 point- This is great if your are trying to create outer space nail art but by itself it needs a base color to make it solid.

Until next time lovelies!

Day 70- China Glaze in Unplugged (62)

At one point my mother was very sick she had been in the hospital for 2 weeks and they couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. At one point they thought it was colon cancer. When I found out about the collection that China Glaze released and how the proceeds would go to cancer research. Each color in the collection represented a different type of cancer. Unplugged was for colon cancer. So I made sure to find one of these. I found this in the clearance bin at my local beauty store. So of course it had to go home with me, in my mind I felt that I was going to help find a cure for my mother. Luckily we found out that she didn't have cancer. 

Total:8 /10
Dry Speed: 1 point- The top dried really well but the formula is a bit thick and so it took longer for the layer under it to dry.
Application: 1 point- China Glaze has a great brush but since the formula was think it was hard to get just the right amount on the brush. It was either to much or completely dry.
Price: 2 points- China Glaze is a mid priced polish of about $7 but I was able to get it for 4.25.
Wear: 2 points- It survived my shower and gave enough strength to my weak nails to keep them from breaking at the current length.
Opaque: 2 points- solid in a single coat but I did two as always.

Until next time beauty queen!

Day 71- OPI in Rumple's Wiggin' (61)

"When I saw your face, Now Im a believer, I couldn't leave her, if I trieddddddddd. Then I saw youuuuurr faaaacccceee." Ahhh Shrek. Such an awsome movie. So when I heard about this collection I wanted it so bad, I was broke at the time. I found this bad boy in the clearance bin at my local beauty shop. Nabbed it instantly So this is a limited edition polish but sometimes you can find it.

Total 7/10
Dry Speed: 2 points- dried fairly well.
Application: 1 point- I hate OPI brushes. I heard they were goin back to the skinnier brushes, but I have not bought a new OPI since that rumor came out.
Price: 2 points- Most people pay $8-16 a bottle, I got this for $4.25 in the clearance section.
Wear: 2 points- This lasted 4 days, for me on my thin nails that's great.
Opaque: 0 Points- This polish is really pretty but I found this to be super sheer and I was hoping for a more solid lavender.

Until next time my lovelies. 

Day 72- Sinful Colors in 24/7 (60)

Need a wham, bam!, in your face pink? I did and 24/7 is perfect for that. The color intensity is almost blinding. It's also on the matte side so its not completely blinding but a top coat can fix that. The color is in between bubble gum and barbie pink. This is part of the perm line from Sinful Colors.

Total 7/10
Dry Speed: 2 points- Like all the other matte formulas from Sinful Colors this polish dried super fast and the finish made it easy to tell when it was dry.
Application: 1 point- Streaked on the first coat, but I got full coverage on the second coat.
Price: 2 points- Do I really need to say more than $2 for this polish?
Wear: 0 points- This chipped later that night. If I had put a top coat on it probably would have helped it last longer but I wanted to keep the matte finish.
Opaque: 2 points- Solid as you or me!

Until next time my beauty queens!

Day 73- Sinful Colors in Bare (59)

Finding a nude polish that doesn't look pink but more flesh toned has been the bane of my polish loving existence. I have very pink undertones and its very evident when I wear nude polishes. Luckily for me Sinful Colors released this color in a collection a year or so ago. It has just enough yellow tone that it doesn't make my nails look sickly and it matches my skin tone perfectly with out leaning noticeably pink.   

Total: 7/10
Dry Speed: 0 points- As you can see my trouble finger, my ring finger, has a few dents in it. This is due to not drying very fast.
Application: 1 point- The formula is really thick and that more than likely played into the dry speed.
Price: 2 points- Love the $2 price tag. Can't ever resist it.
Wear: 2 points- Even though the coats were thick, this still stayed on for 3 days. I was really impressed and I really didn't want to take it off anyways.
Opaque: 2 points- Good, solid coats. I could have gotten away with one but old habits die hard.

Until next time my sparkle babes!

Day 74- Sinful Colors in Gogo Girl (58)

This pure, clean, HOOKER red, is prefect for any budding polish enthusiast. Pure red is really hard for some to pull off, and if your one of those ladies the good thing is that this can very easily be used for nail art. This is not in my local stores perm collection so I had to pick this up in a LE collection. 

Total: 8/10

Dry Speed: 1 point- It dried okay but I misjudged this polish for dry after 5 mins and got an impression of something. I can't remember what I had touched. I just remember looking at my nails and noticing it.

Application: 2 point- No streaks, just pure unadulterated color.

Price: 2 points- The price is why I bought it, that and I didn't have it. :D

Wear: 2 points- Jelly polishes love to stick on my nails. Yay!

Opaque: 1 point-I'm torn at this part. This isn't a cream like I expected its actually a jelly. What does that mean? Well its sheer but ultra shiny. Its also great for layering or tinting other polishes. If you want to wear this alone just know that you will have to add a few layers. 

Until next time!

Day 75- Sinful Colors in Daredevil (57)

Daredevil is one of the newest shades that was added to the perm line. Its a bright pink with a blue sheen. Its's slightly visible in the picture of me holding the bottle. 

Total: 8/10

Dry Speed: 1 point- The top layer dried fairly fast, but it held the moisture in the bottom layers. You can kinda see an impression from were I touched my jeans.

Application: 2 points- This went on buttery smooth.

Price: 2 points- I picked this bad boy up during a .99 cent sale. AAA Ya that's the best part.

Wear: 1 point- This for the most part dried well but again the under coat held onto the moisture and my middle finger received the a beautiful impression of my jeans.

Opaque: 2 points- This is a two coat for full coverage, first coat was just a bit to sheer for my tastes.

Until next time!

Day 76- Sinful Colors Snow Me White (56)

Nothing like a good solid white to round out a good polish line.  This is part of the perm collection but is also added to some LE Collections as well.

Total 10/10
Dry Speed: 2 points-Dried really fast.
Application: 2 points- This is two coats. Its a bit on the thick side but I don't mind that because it dried fast for being thick.
Price: 2 points- In my area these are 1.99 and in the main line.
Wear: 2 points- This polish lasted the 24-48 hour test.
Opaque: 2 points- One coat is good, but I did two for safe measure.

Until next time...

Day 79- China Glaze in Party Hearty (54)

Look at me go! Two posts in a month, HECK in a week. I'm on fire. <.< >.> May have another one coming up soon too. Well now that we have established that I'm blogging again, let us get on with the reason for this post. It's a beaut of a polish. This is China Glaze's Party Hearty. This polish was part of China Glaze's 2010 Christmas Collection. So if you can find it, I'd grab it. Its is a clear base with 3 sizes of glitter. The smallest is the gold, medium size is green, and the largest being red. This is a great topper for any Christmas or Winter Holiday manicure. 

\

Total 8/10

Dry Speed- 2 points: The clear base dried well.

Application- 1 point: I took a point away because the glitter is a bit sparse and I had to keep dipping my brushes and dabbing the glitter on for the first coat. And the brush would take some of the glitter off if I applied like a normal polish.

Price- 2 points: I got this with my pro-discount. It was $4.25 a bottle + tax. That's a good price for me since its over $5 for a bottle at my local Sally's.

Wear-2 points: Its a glitter polish. Need I say more? I mean even the Apocalypse won't budge someones glitter manicure.

Opaque- 1 point: For a glitter polish I do feel that this is a fairly opaque if you willing to go through the trouble of dabbing it on. The different sizes really help to cover the nail but with the clear base it has to be placed over a base color first. 

Until next time...

Day 80- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Coral Reef (53)

 Hey Everyone,

Long time no post. :D Sorry about that, but I have still been taking pictures and I'm ready to jump into the blogging thing again. Today, I have a nail polish swatch and review. This is Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Coral Reef.

Total 7/10

Dry Speed: 2 points- This dried spot on. I was able to get up and do things with in 5-10 mins. 

Application: 2 points- I really like the brush on these polishes. They work well for my skinny nails.

Price: 2 points- Its under $3 a bottle for this line, and usually have some on sale as well.

Wear: 0 points- As you can see on the pointer finger I have chipping. I always photograph my swatches within the first 24 hours of application. I also used a base and top coat. 

Opaque: 1 point- This did need 2 full coats. The first was a bit streaky. 

There were lots of ladies who partook in this challenge and most are still blogging today. If you want to go read up on them click here. Scroll to the bottom links for them are there.
Until next time...

Day 82- BonBon Deep Blue (52)

First off I want to say I'm sorry for how blurry this picture looks, but on a side note you can really see the metallic sheen of this polish. I didn't like how many coats I had to put on to make this polish opaque which in turn effected the dry time (explains the messy spot on the index finger). It did wear well even with 4 coats, making it a grand total of 6 coats (I always base and top coat m nails). It came off relatively easy considering the amount of polish.

There are so many pretty faces and fingers to ogle over in this challenge I don't want you'll to miss it. Go check them out here.

Until next time!

Black on Black by Sinful Colors(45)

So I have a new polish review here for ya!

This beaut is Black on Black by Sinful Colors. It's a simple black cream color, opaque in 1 coat but I'm a 2 color coat kind of girl. I also just joined a nail stamping group and last weeks challenege was Black and white. I will be honost this is horrible compared to some of the other manis. My only defence is this was my first stamp on my self. I have done it on paper and other people but not my self. This also came of fairly easy and no staining. Thats a good basic to have in my opinion.

Nail Swatches: BonBon and Sally Girl (38-44)

I have been active in keeping my nails painted and I had every intention of showing you guys everytime. I dont know what happened so I'm giving you a huge dose of pretty polish.

 This beauty is again a BonBon. It is a little shear but in this case I for some reason really like the two toned affect I had going on. The lasting ability was not so great at three days.

 This jelly like polish happens to be from Sallys Beauty Supplies line. Its called surfs up, I loved the color in the bottle and was hoping for a more opaque version of what I got. This was 3 coats and as you can see it takes longer than normal to dry. On a side note it did last 4 days, even on the ruff nails.

This Glitter polish is again a BonBon. This looks on the nails exactly as it does in the bottle. It was a good solid polish as far as chipping went and lasted 4-5 days. I also tried later on to see if I could get a more solid version, all I got was a nice thick coat of polish and not much more coverage.

This BonBon was a huge disappointment to me. I was looking at this as a beautiful duo-chrome mini polish. Its a gray based just like the Wet n Wild Grays Anatomy. I have seen that so many love it and at the time I didn't have the funds for it. I also keep forgetting to pick it up when I do. The duo-chrome is only visable in the sunlight and sadly my camara didn't want to show you.

This little baby is such a sweet pink color. I think I would love it if it was just a tad bit more opaque. Also the glitter wasn't bad to remove. A three day mani for me.

I promise this is a completely different pink. This BonBon has a slight gold undertone and larger glitter than the one above. Also this is a shade lighter and was harder to capture the true color as it blended in nicely with my pink tones.

I know this polish is really hard to see, but its a light green glitter from BonBon. I think this will make a great top coat for an extra sparkle but by its self its just not enough. I have like four coats on here. I took the picture at a funny angle trying to capture the sparkle but it was not my night for good pictures I guess.

I hope I didn't over load on the polishes. I just have been a little busy but I still like to try to keep my nails pretty even if my face is bare.

Until next time...

Twany Rose by Mary Kay Color Shield (35)

This is oldy but goody has become one of my go to nude colors. I like how it has just enough yellow to counter balance my pink skin tone. At the same time it looks super natural and looks almost like my skin tone, which is what I was looking for a long time. Then I started to go through my polish collection and Bam! I found this. So today I suggest that you go through your collections and paint your nails or do your makeup in colors that are at the bottom of your stashes. Give them some love because they came into your collection for a reason.



This is after one coat.

Review 7/10

Dry Speed: 0 points- I was still able to ding my polish after two hours of dry time.
Application: 1 point- The formula is really watery. I had to keep cleaning off my brush so I didn't get polish everywhere.
Price: 2 points- I got this as a gift. So I'm not sure how much they normally are.
Wear: 2 points- Four days of wear is perfect.
Opaque: 2 points- It was solid after one coat, which is strange for a watery polish in my experience.

Until next time...

Elf Christmas Gift.

Sorry guys that this is a day late. I finally got a job! Yesterday was my first day and I was pooped and went straight to bed once I got home. I Think I have the schedule thing figured out from blogger, but I'm still playing with things. This is a gift from my best friend Holly. She got me some really pretty eyeshadow from ELF for christmas. I was really happy to score the matte gray color Partier! I dont have any mattes in loose form so this made me so happy!

Elegant is a great highlight color. A little bit goes a long ways.

Outdoorsy is a blackned green. Great crease color or to add some depth.

This bad boy is a matte gray. I really like the color still on the fence about the blendablity of this color though.

This is suppose to be a pretty deep plum color with purple and blue sparkle.

These are swatchs in the sun, you can really tell how sparkley they are. I love it. I can't wait to use these more.

Until next time...
