Just a Random Manicure: Sinful Colors 'Blue La La' with Sally Hansen 'Golden Rule' and Matte Top Coat

Image
Helooooo everyone! How are you today? I am sorry for my lack of presence lately, I have been a busy little bee and now I seem to have picked myself up a cold! But, I am here now with a new instalment of my new series Just a Random Manicure (hey, that's two news!). Since my nails broke really badly (and by really badly, I mean really, really badly), I haven't really been doing anything pretty with them. I took off the false nails that I had on before and have been taking care of them thoroughly, trying to get them to grow back out. I can't remember the last time that they broke SO bad! Anyway, they have grown a bit, so I decided to paint them in celebration! Since it's winter now (brrr, it's cold!), I wanted to do something with blue and since I recently picked up Sinful Colors Blue La La, which I have been after for ages, It was a perfectly perfect opportunity to use it! Ooh, isn't that a pretty colour? I am just in love with this kind of cornflower blue! ...

Essie 'Buy Me A Cameo' and Profusion 'Gold Rush', Just a Random Manicure

Image
Hi all! Welcome to the very first post in my new series 'Just a Random Manicure'. This series is basically looking at well, random manicures that I am wearing or have worn. We are kicking off this series with my latest mani (it's still on my nails now!) Buy Me a Cameo by Essie topped with Gold Rush by Profusion. I have had this on my nails for about two days so far, but unfortunately because I was treating my nails with oil before I put it on, it is now peeling off. Sigh. But! That matters not because I have really enjoyed this combination, it is beautiful! Because Gold Rush is a holographic, I had a real tough time capturing it in my light-box and had to venture out into the sunshine (well, I don't know that you could say sunshine, it was a really cloudy day) and snap some pictures out there in order to try to capture that holographic. And, I was somewhat successful, you can sort of see the holographic-ness. Sort of... but it's still not that accurate. I had ne...

Sally Hansen Pixel Perfect Topper Swatch and Review

Image
Hello everybody! Whats'a goin' on? I don't think that I have mentioned this before, but I LOVE toppers, they are one of my favourite things to collect! This is a topper that I bought while I was on vacation, I was really excited to try it because I have never tried a topper from Sally Hansen. This is called Pixel Perfect. This topper is packed full of different kinds of matte glitties (that's how I say glitter sometimes); there are larger hex glitties in both white and black as well as smaller black and white hex glitties. There are also teeny tiny little round glitties in black and white and large black bar glitties. While I am not a fan of bar glitters, I think that in this topper it pulls everything together really nicely. I also enjoyed all these different elements, it makes it very interesting to look at, and it's not too much, a really good balance.  There! Now you can admire all the elements inside this polish! Unfortunately it is really h...
