Fiendish Fancies Sleep Eludes Me Valentine’s Day Nails

Fiendish Fancies Sleep Eludes Me - Hit The Bottle Glint of Gold - Valentines Day Nails Swatches and Review

It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some red nails with hearts.  Using a base of Fiendish Fancies Sleep Eludes Me, I went with Hit The Bottle A Glint of Gold on these but I think a metallic gold rather than holo may have looked better.  In person, it is beautiful but just does not translate in photos.  Especially the accent nail with the LOVE text heart. Fiendish Fancies Sleep Eludes me is a gorgeous red and one I actually wear[Read more]

Color Club Blue Skies Ahead Mood Polish Swatches & Nail Art

Color Club Mood Polish Blue Skies Ahead Stamped with BMXL17 and Hit The Bottle Holo There Beautiful

Another Color Club Mood Polish!  This one is Blue Skies Ahead, a light blue to a dusty light purple thermal polish.  It is a little brighter in colour than the bottle colour suggests which I personally prefer. You know that with blue and purple, I am a huge fan of this polish but it does have good opacity, a nice formula and a good transition temperature.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Rosey Riviter (180) Swatches & Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 180 Rosey Riviter Swatches Full Sun

After being impressed with Frill Seeker, I had high hopes for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and tried out Rosey Riviter next.  This is shade has been available for at least a few years.  Right out of the bottle, I could tell that the formula was not quite as nice as the nude Frill Seeker.  The polish is not sheer itself but does not apply as evenly as Frill Seeker.  The pink would probably not be my top choice in colour but[Read more]
