Day 27: Frosted Snow Globe Nail Design - Nail art

Hi all!!! Hope you are enjoying the wonderfully cold weather and playing in the snow, snow, snow!!! It doesn't matter your age, snow is just fun and to play in it feeds the inner child. I have yet to master the art of a perfect snow man but a girls gotta try. NEVER GIVE UP is my motto so how could I abandon the adventures of finding the right snow, the best sticks, and going to town on making a snowman worth photographing. Well dear reader, I have yet to master the perfect snow man outside, but i believe i managed to come close in this winter inspired manicure.

Let me know what you think please!!!!

As always,

Have a Grand day and don't forget to GlaZe!

Day 26: Sally Hansen Gem Crush Nail Polish Swatch

Hello Nail Polish lovers and all my glitzy fans out there! You will surely enjoy today's Nail swatch featuring the lovely Sally Hansen: Gem Crush Series Polish. You can find Sally Hansen nail polish in almost any local drugstore, chain store etc. I have seen these polishes at my local CVS for up to $9 bucks a bottle!!! YIKES! No thanks. I purchased my polishes in an EBAY (oh how i love you Ebay) Sally Hanson auction lot that came with various series i.e Extreme Wear, Complete Salon Manicure,(check out my Simply Divine post for swatch on that) Insta dry, Sugar Coat and these GEM CRUSH babies you see below.  

 WHICH ONE IS YOUR ABSOLUTE MUST TRY?

Oh look at all these sparkles!!! Do they make you as happy as they do me? I love em all in their own unique way. 

Word of Advice:
These polishes are pretty awesome glitters in a clear polish base and are very opaque after just 2 coats.
The nail swatch pictures above are the polishes themselves, 2 coats, no base color, and as you see they are the perfect glitters to wear alone. No need to pair them up with anything, except maybe a nice handbag and a night on the town.

Hope you enjoy.As always,

         Have a Grand day and don't forget to GlaZe!

Day 24: Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure - nail polish review in "Simply Divine"

Hi again everyone! Hope you're enjoying you lives, taking time to appreciate the little things and glazing away!! Today I wanted to share with you My new found favorite polish brand: Sally Hanson Complete Manicure .

Pros of Polish:
1. thicker consistency (many polishes only need 1 coat to be completely opaque)
2. Salon professional thicker nail brush (this i wonderful on so many levels, including better polish application
3. Larger bottles (at 05. oz its bigger than m,any polishes that can be as small as 0.15 oz)
4. GREAT PRICE (for the quality, it cant be beat)
5. Very pretty flesh tones shades, creams and some pinks that have made me reconsider the beauty of pinks
6. FEELS AMAZING on your nails, with a silky shine and amazingly smooth finish

Cons:
1. Very thick (yet some polishes can still streak)
2. Longer drying time
3. Partly shrinks (when topped with Seche Vite top coat)
4. Not very hip (not too many glitters or "blam wow" colors. kinda average color ranges)

Below you will see the color I chose to swatch: Sally Hanson complete Manicure in: "Simply Divine"

Pinkish tones

More accurate color representation

Isn't it divine?!!?

Nail farthest to left = more pink tones. Nail farthest to right = coral pink tones.

So as you see, the various swatches show the different colors that this wonderful nail polish has, depending on the lighting. I love looking at the polish when in better sunlight, because the coral pink tones are just stunning.Hope you enjoy this nail swatch. 

Let me know what you think please. 

Have a Grand day and don't forget to GlaZe!

Day 18: Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Nail Polish

The less shiny ones have matte top coat. 
The white and purple nails have regular gloss top coat.

 Hi Everybody!! I would like to share with you some polishes I received last week. I was bidding on Ebay (see a pattern? Love that place :)) for a lot of 50 polishes and I won!! Among the many wonderful Sally Hansen nail polishes i received, there were 5 of particular interest. These 5 babies are the ones you see in the pictures below. The Sally Hansen Sugar Coat polishes are really different in texture and quality.

PROS:
-Texture- gritty, like sugar grains on the nails
-Pretty, fun colors
-Opaque in 2 coats
-Dries to a slight matte
-Keeps its gritty look when used with Matte Top Coat

CONS:
-Takes awhile to dry
-Will chip faster (because of texture of course)
-Would like darker colors
-Texture is diminished with top coat (especially if using regular gloss top coat)

 Colors from left to right (white to purple)

1. Sugar Fix 200
2. Cherry Drop 300
3. Sweetie 400
4. Razzle-berry 500
5. Bubble plum 100

Colors used to make sprinkle effect. Below

like rainbow colors sprinkles on a cone. :)

Have a grand day and don't forget to GlaZe!
