Sally Hansen Ultra HD - DVD

Hi Ladies,

Today I have another Sally Hansen Ultra HD, this time on its own. I wore DVD as a mani for 5 days and hardly got any tip wear ... I was wearing 4-5 coats though lol. Thats the only draw back to these polishes, unfortunately they are kind of thin.

First lets start off with some close ups of the bottle to see all the glittery, shimmery goodness :)

Please click on all the images to view them bigger :) I tried to capture the flash and glitter that makes this polish so great. I literally could not stop looking at my nails the whole time I wore it. It looks so pretty in any light setting. I'm gonna make this a short post and let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy!

Do you own any of the new SallyHansen Ultra HDs? Which one is your favorite?

Sally Hansen Nail Prism Diamond - Fun with Holos!

Hey Ladies,

Today I have for you one of my many Nails Prisms :) I love these little guys, some of them are holographic and some are crazy duo-chromes, similar to the new Sally Hansen HD's

Today I have a little experiment I did with Sally Hansen Nail Prism's Diamond and some of the newer Sally Hansen Ultra HDs. (the Ultra HD's are apart of the newer line of HD's, basically more shimmery and pretty!)

Below is one of my Nail Prism holos, Diamond.

Don't let the photo fool you, this polish is pure holo in the right light.
I took the picture at night so all I had was the flash form my camera.

I came up with the idea for this experiment because I long for a bunch of the China Glaze OMG polishes that are no longer in production.

Anyways, I wanted to see what would happen when I layered a holo polish with a sheer coloured duo-chrome polish. Would the holo shine though the coloured polish? Would the coloured polish show through the holo?

I used these Sally Hansen Ultra HD's, left to right, Laser and Spectrum. I currently have DVD on my nails, pure love!! Expect to see a swatch of that shade soon.

Before I show you my layering expariment, I just wanted to let you ladies know that these polishes are sooooo cool! They are thin, DVD took 4-5 coats, but I wanted to see how far I could build it up. Next time I will layer over another polish... which is another post on its own for how cool that is! lol, but the outcome is so worth it. I wish I got more when they were on sale ( I got them for $2.99 CAD,) I love my deals :)

On to the holo-y goodness:

This is Laser layered with Diamond

This is Spectrum layered with Diamond

The shimmery duo chrome in the HD's make the halo so sparkly :) I wish I had gotten some photos in direct sunlight, the holo would be BLINDING!

What do you ladies think of my little experiment?

Long Weekend Haul!

Hi Ladies,

Before I get to the polish today I wanted to share with you the Sunshine award I was given from Megan of Kitschy Suburbia. How Sweet of her, I have never received any of these blog awards before so it is special to me :)

Here are the guidelines:

1. Save the image above and post it on your own blog.

2. Pass the award on to 12 fellow bloggers.

3. Link the nominees.

4. Let nominees know they have won this award by commenting on their blog.

5. Share the love and link to the person you received this award from.

I don't know if I can just pick 12 bloggers, I will need to think about them. Expect to see who I nominate coming up in a future post. Thanks again Megan :)

On to the polish!

I have a small haul full of huge savings lol. Lets start with OPI - Greenwitch Village and NYC Clear Top Coat

I decided to take Tuesday day off this week for an extended long LONG weekend. On Tuesday I relaxed with my boyfriend and we did some minor polish shopping, I was looking for some deals and I soooooo found them!

The OPI I found at Trade Secrets on sale for $5, so far the cheapest OPI I have ever purchased. The NYC top coat I got at Rexall while I picked up the other polishes below. I love the shiny gloss this adds to my polish so I picked another bottle up. I'm not sure it this was on sale, but I got it for $1.60.

Now, these are the real stars of my shopping trip :) I almost didn't even go to Rexall, it was just something to do lol. I found the new Sally Hansen HD full display, hidden almost but on sale for $3.99 each. I was happy with that, I had been picking up and putting these polishes down for weeks now because of the price (usually between $6 - $9 each). So my boyfriend helped pick out the shades and we took a look around the rest of the store.

Then it hit me! I also had coupons for $1 off! Sweet! so I got each polish for $2.99, how awesome it that!

I'm thinking of layering one of these over the NOX twilight polish I posted yesterday, I think I'm leaning towards the purple one :)

Which is your favorite find from my mini haul?
