New Year's Eve nails

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!  I can't believe how fast this year has gone by! 2014 has brought ups and downs and so many amazing memories. Little miss Kinsley has been such an amazing blessing to us in 2014 watching her grow and learn and experience everything with her is the best thing and I can never thank God enough for her. 

And since this little blessing has come down with a cold again it looks like we will be ringing in the new year with boogie wipes and Frita snot suckers. So I thought I'd share my festive nails since that's the only thing I got going on over here. 

 

I applied two coats of the Sally Hansen "game of chromes" And two coats of the sephora formula x polish in "chaotic" just to get the glitter even. And then the Sally  Hansen "miracle gel top coat" 

I hope you all have a safe New Years eve  and a happy and healthy 2015!

Mani Monday : Formula X "Radical"

It has been a few weeks since I had time or even felt the need to paint my nails... Crazy I know! normally I paint my nails at least twice a week but , that was the old me and the new " mommy" me hardly has time or energy to do so.  

I really love the formula x polishes from sephora i love the packaging I love the formula I love the diffrent colors and glitters, &  texture OH MY! ( wizard of oz voice)  I want to go crazy every time I look through the colors online or in store.

When I ordered this gorgeous shade of creamy light lavender from sephora I had to play with it right away it was to pretty to pass up and with it being spring and all why not! 

Perfect for spring right! I used two coats and topped it off with essie top coat and was good to go. Now to just update my spring/ summer wardrobe with pretty shades like this and ill be a happy momma.

Mani Monday : valentine red

Since it's the week of valentines I thought if paint my nails red. It used to be the only color polish I owned untill I recovered the wonderful world beauty. 

I used two coats of this gorgeous shiny red by butter London called knees up this color is so pretty the picture doesn't do it justice . 

As my accent nails I used formula x by sephora in chaotic (pointer finger)  and 

Wham! (Middle finger) I really love these glitters and want to get more of these polishes 

Hope you enjoy your Monday!

Mani Mondays: formula x Torque

Its Mani Monday again and I had a little time while kins took a great nap whoo hoo! I recently purchased this gorgeous polish from Sephora  from the formula x line in the color Torque.  its a pretty metallic toupe color that goes on so smooth. With all metallic it can show any little imperfection on the nail so I used Essie fill the gap base coat and nails inc. gel effect top coat.

Mani Mondays: Nails Inc, GEL effects polish ..

Hi my name is Shannon and I'm a nail polish junkie! now that I have that out of the way I have been wanting to try the NAILS INC GEL EFFECT POLISH for a while now and I needed to keep my vib status from sephora for another year (because I have to that's why)  and thought it was the perfect time to pick up this polish and give it a go. I got the color in  PORCHESTER SQUARE a gorgeous grey toned nude 

Sephora describes it as : "A gel effect polish that delivers a plumping effect for glossy, salon-quality nails. This polish provides a high shine, super glossy finish without the need of a UV lamp or professional removal process. Gel Effect polish contains the same plumping technology as a salon gel manicure and lets you create the same look at home with ease. Formulated with revolutionary plasticiser technology, Gel Effect polish creates a gloss like you have never experienced before with standard nail polish. "

I applied two coats on top of Essie fill the gap base coat and let me just say even with one coat it looks amazing but I'm a two coat kinda girl and I wanted to truly test this polish out and didn't add a top coat .. on the Sephora site it says to "Apply one coat of Kensington Caviar base coat followed by two coats of your chosen Gel Effect polish.

-Finish with one coat of Kensington Caviar 45 Second top coat." for their suggested use I do have the top coat but wanted to see how this would do with out it ...

my polish usually chips / peels/ the very next day even with a top coat and usually looks nasty by day 3 so I have to start all over and with having a new baby "ain't no body got time for that " I'm lucky if I can brush my teeth some days let alone paint my nails   this polish has lasted me up to 5 days!! that's right 5 days with no top coat!  I'm so happy with this polish  that  want more! they offer 3 other colors in this collection a red and purple and a berry color I wish there was more of a variety but this polish is amazing I cant wait to see how long it lasts with a top coat .  

I could have gotten more days out of this polish it was day 5 and finally starting to chip and I had some free time while the hubby watched football and played with baby I thought I'd better take advantage and change it up. But so far I defiantly recommend this polish.

available at  Sephora
