The Radiant Trina

The Radiant Trina

 Hi Everyone! I am excited for this week's color! Not only is it another Julep polish, Trina  was given to me by my best friend Meg!!

Described as a "deep aubergine shimmer" Trina really is a deep purple. If it weren't for a little streaking, I could have gotten away with only one coat. 

By the way, without googling it, does anyone know what "aubergine" is? I just learned a few weeks ago by watching a cooking show with my mom. Comment below if you know!


The first coat of Trina dried kinda quickly, but the second coat took a bit longer than I would have liked. 
But that's ok! I used my Freedom Polymer top coat to seal up my nails and help them on their last leg of the dry. So my nails got dry quicker and now they are super shy and feel like I have gel polish on!


If you are interested in getting Trina  or the Freedom Polymer, check out Julep.com! Also, of you have used any great colors lately, share them with me. I would love to post about your nails on the blog. 

Be Radiant!
Amanda

The Radiant Phia

The Radiant Phia Hi Everyone! Julep has done it for me again. This week's color is a great shimmering purple! Phia is described as an "alluring orchid iridescent chrome" (there's that orchid theme again, yay!) is an amazing polish.  Because of the chrome-like effect of this polish, it makes it last even longer. Its almost as long lasting as your toughest glitter polish! What's even better is that it dried really quick too and was perfect even with two thin coats of color. Another win for Julep, my nails, and my time!! However, my favorite part of this polish is the fact that it has a slight green shimmer to it when you put it into the light. So pretty! So shiny! and So sophisticated too! If you want to get a bottle of Phia just check out  Julep's Website ! Sometimes you can even find the polish at your local Sephora or on QVC. If you have painted your nails with a great color, show them off! I would love to share your n...

Princesses Rule with Radiance

Princesses Rule with Radiance Hi Everyone! This week's post about the color of the week is brought to you by a friend and coworker of mine who had a great manicure done recently! My friend Beverley had a mani done and and her color choice is a perfect, simple, delicate but also very charming pink color.  I love this color! It is an OPI color named Princesses Rule. Even better, it looks great on Beverley's nails too! I for one, think that the title is ever so fitting! Princesses Rule will definitely be a color that I will be adding to my OPI collection not just because of it's amazing color, but also because of it's long wear. This color lasts! If you're interested in picking up a bottle of this great polish, check out your local Ulta store, local OPI dealer, or online at  amazon.com .  A special thanks to Beverley for letting me post about her nails on the blog for this week's color! If you have had a manicure or pedicure lately and woul...
