New Pretty & Polished!

*Provided for Review*

 Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Today I have a post that was supposed to go up a couple days ago, but in the middle of getting it ready my laptop finally died. Got a new one yesterday, and Im taking a break getting it all set up to make sure this gets posted!

Today I have 4 new Pretty & Polished colors to show you from new collections. First up I have Hootin' & Holoin' from the Summer Fun FX collection. This is a deep red with loads of holo shimmer. I used 3 coats and it went on super easily. Its very strange that in the bottle inside it looks sort of brownish but is definitely red on the nail and in the bottle outside. Beautiful color no matter what though!

 Next I have another Summer Fun FX color, Solar Opposites. This one changes from a white base to a light blue in direct sunlight, with various sizes of blue and light green hex glitters. I used 3 coats again and it went on easy with good glitter coverage without fishing.

Now for 2 colors from the Guardians of the Galaxy collection. First is Draximum Security a blue jelly base with tons of blue glitters and red shards. I used 3 coats, and had a little bit of trouble since it is so packed with glitter. You need to let the coats dry a bit in between to prevent it dragging to the tip and clumping up, and it does need a couple coats of top coat to smooth it all out. But its worth it! Confession on this picture: I wore this for 3 days at work before taking this picture, where I do a lot of scrubbing and cleaning with steel scrubbing pads, and this wears like a champ! I had the tiniest bit of tip wear and no chips after those 3 days. I am super impressed!

Last I have another Guardians of the Galaxy collection color, Something Good, Something Bad...A Bit of Both. This is my favorite of the 4, I just love it! Its a black jelly base with a red shimmer and red glitters. I used 3 coats, and could have probably used 1 more based on the picture, but in person I couldnt see any bald spots. This went on easily and is just so pretty!

All these polishes are available now at the Pretty & Polished shop HERE

Sale!!

If you ask my friends, one in particular (Hi S! lol) you will find I am an enabler when it comes to buying polish. Just today I 'forced' S to buy 8 polishes just by letting her know of a sale. But thats what friends are for right?

Well for all of you reading this, I have a sale to tell you about that you won't want to miss! Pretty & Polished is moving locations, and has lots of inventory that they would rather ship out than have to pack up and move. So what do they do? Have a moving sale and reduce prices to almost wholesale price on most everything left in stock! Good chance to get your hands on anything you have been wanting at amazing prices.

Pretty & Polished reviews

I hope everyone is having a good Saturday! I took my Daisy troop to the zoo for our end of the year trip today and it was lots of fun. Got to feed a giraffe and an elephant! But man I'm tired now lol. Only 3 1/2 more days of school/work left as well, I can't wait.

Today I have for you some Pretty & Polished colors. The Sweet Sixteen Collection is a trio of limited edition colors. I was given the opportunity to purchase these colors before the official launch, which was yesterday! I also have two colors that were included in my package in mini size for review as well of Miss Independent and Wax On top coat. Click the link for pictures and reviews!

Holiday Challenge Day 1

I'm participating in the Crumpets Nail Tarts Holiday Challenge! Today is Day 1: Snowflakes and Snowfall. I had an image in my head for how this was going to look, needless to say it didn't turn out quite like I had hoped. It looks better in the picture than it did in person. I'd considered not posting it, but figured what the hell. I'm still new to stamping, and I ran out of time to try again to fix it, and I don't want to not participate just because I failed. So here we have 3 coats of Sally Hansen In A Flurry, one coat of Pretty and Polished S'no Mans Land on my ring finger, and stamping using Bunny Nails HD05 with Sally Hansen White On. I had hoped S'no Mans Land would be a little more sheer with one coat for what I had envisioned, in my head it lightly covered the nail with the white glitters looking like snowflakes falling in the night sky of In A Flurry. I'm still getting the hang of stamping, so they didn't completely come out how I wanted either. But, I'm not afraid to show my mistakes so here it is!

Here is what the other ladies taking part did! There is some awesome manis here, check them out!
