Friday's Post - Mani Refresh

Hey Ladies,

I meant to post this on Friday, but unfortunately I got busy and it slipped my mind :( sorry!

I was on at work on Friday admiring my nails then I really took a good look at them and thought I've been wearing this polish since Sunday... and no chips!

... Well ... maybe not NO chips, I have the tiniest, little scratch of a chip on my right middle finger, but other than that... wow! I have VERY slight tip wear but I am still wearing Poseidon from the NOX Twilight line. This polish wears so awesome!


I wish there were more colours in this collection that I liked. I hope that NOX comes out with other polishes that are available for purchase in Canada soon :) And also reduce the price a bit ... and include some more bright jelly/creams lol


On Friday Night I decided to add some free hand nail art. It looks better in real life, I swear! I made some black swoops with a striper brush and and in between each swoop I added some silver glitter. It was more of a boredom thing lol I removed everything on Sunday afternoon and applied some new polish (which I am loving by the way ;) you'll see tomorrow.)


What do you do to refresh a mani?

Blue Jelly Beans

Hi ladies,

Blue jelly beans is what I think of every time I look at my nails while wearing this polish. It has such a great jelly-ish finish with being opaque in only 2 coats :) If there is only one good thing to come out of the Twilight series, it was defiantly this polish! I'm taking about Poseidon by NOX for Twlilight.

If you remember, this was the polish that my (AMAZING!) boyfriend got for me, he loves his blues :)


Application was okay, I had to add a bit of thinner. The first coat applied a bit streaky but the second one evened it out. The brush was okay, nothing special.

The colour is a beautiful sky blue that makes me think its a jelly, but not really... its hard to describe. Hopefully you can see what I mean from my photos.


So far I have been wearing this shade for 4 days and I have only had one chip on my left pointer finger on the 4th day. I don't think I am ready to take this one off yet, its too pretty! It's too bright, and shiny and squishy!


I'm not sure where you can find these in the States, but in Canada the only place I have been able to find them is at Rexall for $9.99. They had a sale a while back for $2 off, but for some reason during the promo the one closest to me did not get them in stock yet :( You can also purchase these online from their site for $6.99 USD, I'm not sure how much shipping is.


Do I think it's worth the price? For what you are paying you are getting a decent sized bottle of polish, the quality isn't 100% on the one I picked up, but a little thinner could fix that up. It only takes two coats to achieve full opacity on this shade so the bottle should be able to last you a pretty long time.

The other colours in the collection don't really do anything for me, the only other one I'm thinking of picking up would be Citrus, but I'm waiting for another sale ;)

What do you ladies think of the Twilight collection? Have you picked any of these polishes up yet?
