#MANIMONDAY - COLOR FRENZY

 

The Scoop

Happy Labor Day everyone! This week I'm showing a little U.S.A pride for this week’s #ManiMonday. And, just a slight update on last week’s #ManiMonday post – I took the Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat off yesterday and it did require a little elbow work to fully remove the “fuzz”. I definitely had to use more polish remover pads than I normally would. This week I used more Sally Hansen products the first is the Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Extreme Wear ($10, amazon.com) nail color in “White Out” and covered it with the Sally Hansen Color Frenzy Textured Nail Color ($3, ulta.com)  in “Red,White, & Hue”. The color Color Frenzy line has been flying off the shelves; Amazon even says there’s only one left in stock. 

About Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat

The Sally Hansen Color Frenzy Collection is a line of nail polishes featuring 8 unique splatter effect multi-dimensional glitters. In looking at the bottle you get the impression that there will be this explosion of glitter on your nails when it’s applied however I did not feel that was the case (and you’ll see what I mean in the pictures below). So needless to say I was a little disappointed in the amount of glitter that was left on my nails. In addition, the “Red, White, & Hue” polish is made with a pink tinted clear polish so when I placed it over my white nail polish it dulled down the color. My nails also took forever to dry, I woke up this morning with impressions on my nails and this was after my nails had ample hours of dry time. So with all of this I was not a huge fan of this week’s mani. I was pleasantly surprised however with the Hard as Nails nail polish because of the value – it was great for the $3 price tag.  

The Look

Despite the pink tint of the Color Frenzy polish my nails still came out pretty white…

 

#MANIMONDAY - TATTED UP

 

The Scoop

Clearly, it’s going to snow! Here I am, with another week of #ManiMonday for you guys, AND, it’s actually Monday. Whoop Whoop! :)

Anywho, down to the nitty-gritty…

So this week I opted for something a little different; instead of simply a solid color nail polish I went for a design. Now, let’s just get one thing straight and out of the way while we’re on the subject. I do not do nail DIY’s. I just can’t. My hands aren’t steady enough; my nerves aren’t calm enough, and frankly, “ain’t nobody got time for that”! So, with that said, any designs you see on my nails I will have either gotten done at the nail salon OR it’s probably a nail decal.

In this week’s case it’s a nail tattoo by KISS. 

The Product

The design is called ‘Distinct Ink’ (NST03) and it is very reminiscent of a floral design tattoo. In the packet you get 16 pre-cut and sized tattoos. To apply the tattoos you have to apply your desired polish (in this case I stuck with clear) and wait until that dries. The polish being dry is very important so if you know you have a polish that takes longer to polish I would save that polish for another time. 

After the polish is dry you apply the “tattoo” to your nail and wet the back of it with a towel or sponge and hold for about 20-30 seconds. The KISS website has this really quick video to show you how it’s done…

The Look

Overall, I liked these KISS Nail Tattoos. They are very affordable at $4/pack, very easy to apply, and allow you to transform a dull/boring manicure.

#MANIMONDAY - PLAYING KOI

 

The Scoop

Look at me, super on top of my #manimonday post this week. I’m getting better, you guys should be so proud. Since I shamelessly plugged Sally Hansen’s Insta-Dri nail polish in last week’s post I figured I would go with a Sally Hansen color this week. I am in L-O-V-E with this shade of orange called, “Play Koi” from the brand’s Triple Shine collection.

Although some people aren’t huge fans of Sally Hansen’s wide/flat brushes I love them. They work so well if you are like me and have large nail beds (hey we can’t all have small dainty hands ladies haha). The brush picks up just the right amount of color and the polish formula is not streaky at all.

Here I am still using my Probelle Nail Hardener as a base and a top coat coupled with two coats of the Sally Hansen polish. Check it out….

 

What has been your favorite tangerine shade to rock this summer?
