Nails Done, Hair Done, Everything Did...

Oh you fancy, huh?
Lately I've been getting more and more into nails and nail designs. I used to get my nails done every two weeks and get a full set of acrylic or gel nails but it started taking a toll on my real nails. I noticed them becoming more and more weak and brittle. I finally conquered my lifelong habit of biting my nails and they've grown out very nicely. The other day Lexi and I went shopping with a friend and I picked up some new nail polishes that I've been eyeing. I also ordered a bunch of nail gems/decals/etc. online from Amazon but they haven't arrived yet so that will be a separate post.



5 New Polishes and My Favorite Nail Polish Remover
 I couldn't decide which nail polish to pick so I just added 5 new polishes to my collection. #NailPolishAddictProblems ;) ONYX professional nail polish remover is my favorite remover and I continue to repurchase it because honestly nothing else has beat it. Like I've mentioned before, it takes off glitter polish so easily, no hard scrubbing or scraping required. It will take off normal polish with just one swipe.




Sinful Colors
Unfortunately the bottom sticker was ripped off this bottle so I'm not even sure what the color is called. It's the perfect nude/beige color. I like to use it to fill in the spots when I do my signature leopard print nails. If you use it by itself on your nails, two coats will give you a gorgeous opaque nude.

Rimmel London 60 Second Nail Color- 210 Mintilicious
When I saw this beautiful minty color I fell in love. I've been super obsessed with mint, turquoise, and teal EVERYTHING lately; clothes, accessories, nail polish... you name it. I had to add this minty baby to my collection. One of my favorite things about this polish is that it really does dry quickly so if I'm in a hurry I can paint this on quickly and go without having to worry about smudging it off.

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear- Coral Reef
This is a really pretty neon-ish coral color. It is pretty opaque after just one coat and I noticed that it lasts a little longer than most polishes I use. I'm a mom and I have a pretty busy day-to-day life so I get excited when a nail polish lasts for more than 2 or 3 days without chipping or me having to redo it completely.

Sinful Colors- 830 Pinky Glitter
Now this beauty was definitely one of my favs of the bunch. It's all different sized glitter with a pink tint. I would always wear this over another pink or coral color because its a bit too clear by itself. That doesn't bother me though because I wanted a different pink colored glitter to use on top anyway. This also dries pretty quickly.

Sinful Colors- 952 Hazard
Hazard is more of a true coral color. It's on my thumb nail in the photo above. I used two coats and I think it came out looking great.

Have you purchased any new nail polishes lately? If so, which one (s)? Are there any polishes that you love and think I should add to my collection? Let me know in the comments section below. :)

    1. Girl believe me, I know how you feel. I'm such a makeup/nail polish hoarder. I keep buying new cosmetics even when I definitely don't need them and then I have mass amounts of beauty products with nowhere to put them. Haha. #GirlyGirlProblems ;)
