Fifty-Two Weeks

Marsala's Two Cents Good day readers! For the week of February 1st-7th is a lovely rusty red glitter color! This week' color is an Ulta color caled My Two Cents  and it is a full coverage glitter that is pretty great! I have had other experiences with Ulta polish, and have been pleasantly surprised. The same goes for this full coverage glitter.  As well as being a great hit for the color of the year, Marsala , this polish was also pretty long lasting. This polish lasted about a week before chunks started chipping away. But, it was still a pretty good buy. Especially since it was only .97 cents!! Ulta usually has a great prices and deals on their polish, but ALWAYS make sure you check out their clearance shelves! Sometimes that's where I find the best polishes at the cheapest prices!  If you want your own bottle of My Two Cents  though you're just going to have to check out your local ulta store, in store or online.  As a...

BlackHeart Radiance Happy Halloween Week!! I have been waiting ALL YEAR to finally be able to post about this polish for Halloween. I literally got this polish back in December and am now able to finally share it with you! This is Spooktacular! BlackHeart Beauty is the brand for this week's color Magenta  and I thought it would be perfect for a Halloween post due to the great Skeleton skull shaped bottle its in! This color went on OK...it was very streaky on the first coat (which is also alright) but it made me worry that the second coat would look the same. It didn't! The second coat smoothed on out and gave my nails a nice finished look.  I was also pleasantly surprised at how fast this polish dried! The first coat dried almost as quick as my basecoat did. For those of you who have been keeping up with the blog, you know I love some fast drying nail polish! A++ on drying time! If you want to get some of this drop dead polish, head over to your ...

Illume Radiance I am desperately trying to catch up with myself this week! So a back-to-back post it is! This week's color is great; it is the exact definition of the color purple. This week's color is a SpaRitual color called Illume and it really is lovely. This creme polish is the perfect shade of just perfect purple. However, it needed two coats of color to get there, and even then I wanted to add just a smidgen more. Illume was a bit more watery than I was prepared for and it left horrible streaking on the first coat. But that's ok, most of the second coats made the nails look finished. Only a few nails needed some extra polish. To top it all off I used the SpaRitual Multitasker Base and Top coat. This not only sealed the deal, it also added extra shine to the finished look of my polished nails. Overall I love this color of purple that is Illume, but the polish application could have gone a bit smoother if the lacquer wasn't as watery. But as ...

Sun Changing Radiance Hello friends!  This week's post is a fun one! While at the beach with my mom a couple of weeks ago, I went into Del Sol. Del Sol is a fun store with lots of different merchandise that changes colors when exposed to sunlight.  Well, I am all about using some coupons...so I ended up getting four polishes for the price of three and a free tote bag by using my beach coupons! Here's the loot that I got! On their own these colors are very pretty and fun! But once you add the sunlight...these colors become so wonderfully vibrant! I couldnt believe the radical change that some of the polish had once they were exposed to the UV rays of the sun! So of course, my mother took it upon herself to claim one of these amazing colors and try it out during her beach vacation! So, this week's color is called Reckless by Del Sol's Color Change nail polish line! Reckless starts out as a very nice white pearly color that looked great...

Sally Beauty Deal! I am a member of Sally Beauty and I just received this email about a great polish deal! If you are interested, head on over to your local Sally Beauty Store, or even visit them online !! Don't pass this up!! Here's a hint though - If you buy gel polish to do at home, don't forget you need a lamp to cure the polish with! Also, don't forget the base and top coats that go specially with gel colors. As well, gel comes off a special way, so buying the matching brands removal system is always a good idea! Be Radiant! Amanda
