L'oreal Strong-Arm

Sorry for the ridiculously long delay, but here's another pink... I'm really obsessed... But my nails are getting longer and longer and hopefully my application technique will improve at some point in the near future... :)

This time, my pink is actually a beautiful magenta color... You could probably still wear this to work, but it looks too elegant to waste it on something like that...


Even though it looks like an ugly creme in the bottle, this one is actually a beautiful shimmer...




As far as polishes go, this one was a dream! Everything about it was perfect... :)

NUMBER OF COATS: 3
FINISH: shimmer
APPLICATION: 3
COLOR: good!
WEARABLE-NESS: good!
HILTND: flawless!
This is one polish I will definitely wear again and again and again... Make sure to check back next time for a polish that is NOT PINK!!!

Island Girl Hawaii

I'm back! And this time with a nail polish straight from Hawaii... This came in a set of four polishes, and there weren't any color specific names attached, so I'll simply call this one magenta. This polish is shown on my sister's nails, which are much longer than mine. Here's what I ended up using:




As you can see, I used China Glaze Nail Strengthener & Growth Formula as the base coat, and Island Girl Hawaii (in magenta) as the actual polish. Because this one was matte (whether it was intentional or not) I decided to forego a top coat.

This polish turned out to be very matte, but it's a beautiful magenta color. I only used one coat, and even with minimal brush strokes it still filled in all the "unsightly" parts of the nail. Opacity was perfect, and the color is beautiful in the sun.

That's it for this polish, but there's some really good ones coming up soon!
