Sally Hansen Lavender Envy layrered over Nina Emerald City



This is one of my very favorite polish's = Sally Hansen Lavender Envy. It is not as streaky in real life as it looks in these indoor photos. Lavender Envy is no longer in the core line of Sally Hansen X-treme Wear polish's, but there is still a few sheer SH X-treme Wear polish's that look AMAZING layered, [Green w/ Envy comes to mind.}

 I picked this up at a small drug store in my town a few years ago, I totally hated the long stem and the stumpy brush at the time - now I am cool with it. I don't understand why SH changed their bottle shape for each line of polish they come out with......

This is 2 coats of Nina Ultra Pro in Emerald City, I recently wore this and wanted to wear it again {it's that pretty  that I wore it twice in 2 weeks!} After spending the evening whipping up some fabulous earrings my nails were trashed, so i added 1 coat of SH X-treme Wear Lavender Envy and a coat of Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat.

I applied paper re-binders to the base of my nail, so the original polish would be visible. I have had the worst luck with re-binders, they always leave a sticky residue - but this time i peeled them off immediately after adding the polish. It's not perfect, but I cannot find a smaller circular sticker to create this "moon-mani"...........


{ this doesn't look this streaky in real life }



 ..... even though the colours in this photo are all wrong, I thought it was a cool pic; I love how glowey the SH Lavender Envy layered area looks!

♥ N.Y.C. - Flat Iron Green ♥

3 coats NYC Flat Iron Green - 1 coat of Nailene Acrylic Strong Top Coat

Without the sun or strong lighting, this looks almost black, but it does have a nice swampy green cast to it. I had hoped it would be a smidgen more green, but I still think it's a nice colour. I missed the sunshine, but I still took a bunch of bottle shot photos....... has anyone else spotted these NEW N.Y.C.'s in stores? I think there is like 10 new ones.........

Next up Spring Street, a ridiculous 'Koi' type of orange.

♥ Wet n' Wild - 'Rain Check' ♥




( grrr, why didnt this post - I posted it at the same time as my post below - DANG! )


Ahhhhhh! Another Wet n' Wild stunner - although this polish is sorta frosty as long as the brush strokes are straight, I'm good. This is a really pretty colour ~ I thought it would be much more silver IRL, but the light lavender is very noticeable in most lighting conditions. = LOVE IT! In Canada, these are $1.57 ( walmart) and $1.87 ( Zellers Dept store ). In my town, I had found that Zellers carries the best selection as well as entire line-up of Wet n' Wild products, while Walmart only has a select few of these Wet n' Wild Wild Shine polish's.

Any other Canadian chicks think we should start a petition to get Pure Ice brand of polish's up here......?????? I am surprised that the Bari line of cosmetics is not available in Canada yet.♥
