PRODUCT RAVE - RIMMEL LASTING NAIL POLISH


What can I say, I love dupes and bargains.  This is a great dupe for OPI Metro Chic, which is on my wishlist, but now crossed off.  This is $3.50 at CVS and the color ids Steel Grey #270.  The color is a beautiful warm gray that will look good on all skin tones.
The polish itself, is like a polish + top coat in one.  It's thick, shiny, and dries super fast.  Now it doesn't last 10 days like it claims, but maybe 4 or 5.

I wish they had more colors, only like 10 maybe.  I would like to try more.  

What's the longest wearing Nail Polish you've found?

SALLY GIRLS NAIL POLISH REVIEW

Buy 5(.99) get 1 free offer
I was paying at Sally's Beauty Supply and of course they have all the little samples for us to buy. I think I bought a really bright pink Sally Girl nail polish before and that showed up, out of these the only one you could see is the dark purple one.  If you were to paint your nails with the others, you would use up the whole bottle for one polish application. You can't even use this as a sample because this is the only size.  So, I would skip on these and buy a OPI or China Glaze, more bang for your money!  These are good for travel, if your going for a short time.

What's your current favorite polish color? Or your all time classic color?

MAC BABY GOTH GIRL DUPE -SINFULCOLORS($2 Walgreens)

I read so many reviews that Mac Baby Goth Girl was OK or they returned it so I passed on it. Then I was at Walgreens & I found this color & it looks so close. I love the color. It's perfect for the fall/winter. It isn't dark & it looks like Baby Goth Girl. There's glitter in it, but it's not the kind you can never take off!



Sinfulcolors - Rich in Heart- $2

Mac Baby Goth Girl swatch
I think with all polishes you need a top coat for it to stay on longer, even the OPI. It's a great color for a great price.

What is your favorite polish color right now?

SEPTEMBER FAVORITES

September flew by. I blinked and it was gone. I'm excited about fall though. Boots, sweaters, jeans, & leggings!

I haven't bought a lot this month either. I think I'm more into the clothes right now.


EYES
I have been revisiting NYX lately. I have so many beautiful shades from them, but Beauty Queen is my fave. Also the ELF shadow brush & Mac 224 are the 2 I use everyday. I put on the Beauty Queen with the e/s & blend it w/224, liner & mascara, that's it.


HAIR
I have had highlights for the past 3 years & now I am all one color. (I'll post a pic) My hair is so dry. I use the BIOSILK from the middle of my hair down. It's the only thing that makes it look shiny. Sometimes I'll just use a little of the Frizz Ease only at the ends of my hair. When my hair was healthier I only used the Frizz Ease.
FACE
I pulled out an old ELF product. The blush in Flushed & I love it. I use it w/the 187 brush. I wanted something like Nars Angelica, but didn't want to invest the money. This is making me happy. Also the Laura Geller in Pink Grapefruit. Both of these have staying power, too. My new foundation Maybelline 24hr has been good too.


NAILS
Any color by LA Girls is great. They have a great brush & pigmentation. Just make sure you use a top coat. This is the one that matches my purse!! It's in Groovy.

I haven't been in love with any makeup lately. I'm also trying to use what I have.

Have you been going through your makeup stash? What have you rediscovered?

LA GIRLS NAIL POLISH @ FOREVER 21

I have been loving all my LA Girls products. Forever 21 has brought in Nail Polish now. They come in beautiful colors and are only $2.80. I bought these 2 for a test run. This is just 2 coats. I was worried at first because the first coat was so thin, but after the second coat I was in love. I didn't use a top coat to see if they would chip, but they lasted 4 days w/ no top coat. The brush on these is really good too. It's thick, not flimsy or narrow.


I also bought this beautiful green/teal one. Look how pretty the girls. This is a color for fall trends that I saw on Mac. I think it's a great price for the polish & the colors are vibrant.
Have you tried any L.A. Girls products? What do you think of them?

What's your favorite Nail color?

FOREVER 21 - NAIL DECALS HAUL

COST $1.80

 I went back to Forever  21 for more of the LA Girl e/s & found these.  They are great for your own mani/pedi. I'm planning on using them for a pedi. There's a bunch of little stickers, so it's good for more than a 1 time use. I'll put up a pic of the pedi, but I'm not a huge fan of toes!!  Do you do your own pedi's or mani's? I've been since my friend got a toe nail fungus, yuk! I'm paranoid now:(

SALLY"S BEAUTY SUPPLY- HAUL/REVIEW

COST:$3.49(nail dry), $1.99(eraser pen)

Sally's beauty supply is great place to find those beauty products you would never think of. I found this spray nail dryer. Which is great for me because I have little patients to dry my nails. I'm always walking around with smudged nails. The other is an earaser pen that gets the polish off the sides of your nail.
The dryer is great. It smells like baby powder & it cuts down drying time by 1/2. I will repurchase for sure.  The pen you could skip on. Just use a Q-tip with polish remover it will work way better.
I want to try the dry shampoo next. What is good to try or buy @ sally's?

SALLY HANSEN NAILS

I had a lot of questions on the Dior lip balm($28).  I'll do a review after I've used it a bit. Maybe at the end of the week. Thanks to all the Mama Day wishes! XO

Hard as Nails Hardwraps(seals & hardens)
Hard as Nails Strengthening(prevents chips, cracks,splitting)
Sally Hansen Nail Polish- Diamond Strength #43 Ruby Sequin

Cost: between $4-7(mine were $1 on sale)


I think all of Sally Hansen nail products are great. I put on all three products 6 days ago & I only have 1 chip, which I picked off myself.  My nails feel a little harder, but the Hardwraps really seals the nails, but put it on evenly, or your polish will look uneven. I would buy all these products again.
What's your favorite summer polish?
