Plum Power Nail Polish by Sally Hansen

      Plum Power by Sally Hansen is a nail polish I have had for a long, long time. It is a dark purple polish that is quite "plum-like" with shimmers in it which give it a nice sheen. Two coats will you full opacity and longevity is around 1-2 weeks for me, a duration that is common to the Sally Hansen polishes I have tried, which is not bad overall for a drugstore polish that is on the lower price end. It applies easily so no worry about streaks or uneven application here. This is a color I usually wear during the colder months, fall and winter.

Ski Teal We Drop by OPI

      With nail polish, I have slowly been stepping out of my comfort zone and trying out shades that aren't my go-to shades of reds, pinks or purples. I had received Ski Teal We Drop awhile ago and finally tried it out this month in lieu of the winter season. It is a teal, blue color that is quite wearable since it is a darker shade and has more blue than green in it. As always, OPI's nail polishes go on smoothly and easily with good staying power. Two coats of this color will give you full opacity.

Blue Freeze by Maybelline (Color Show Nail Polish)

It's been too long since my last post, but please excuse the condition of my nail polish, as the pictures had been taken around a week after I had the polish on!

L'oreal Nail Polish in Check Me Out (103)

      Last post I talked about the L'oreal Nail Polish "Penthouse Pink" (#104) and today I will feature "Check Me Out" (#103). It is a very vibrant fushia pink color and a color I love wearing in the summer. I have included pictures with the other nail polish mentioned just so you can see the two side by side. For more pictures exclusively on "Penthouse Pink," you can check that out here.

Splash of Grenadine by Essie

Hi everyone!

      Bringing you another nail polish post today featuring one of my favorite polishes, Splash of Grenadine by Essie. It is a pretty magenta pink color that isn't actually magenta, as in a fushia pink, but rather a pinkish-purple color. It is a beautiful color for the spring and summer. It is a soft color that still manages to stand out. It applies easily and two coats will give you full opacity. For the accent nail, I used a L'oreal Magic Topcoat, the True Diamond, which you can see in another blog post I did where I mentioned it too.

Wet n Wild Megalast Nail Polishes - Through the Grapevine and Candy-licious

      Today, I wanted to mention two nail polish colors by Wet n Wild that I have owned for a long time and really like, Through the Grapevine and Candy-licious. They are super affordable and for the price, the quality and wear time is surprisingly great. The versions I have are quite old and the packaging has been changed with a little more product. Whether or not the formula has changed, I cannot say since I haven't tried them but looking at pictures online, the colors look the same. The ones I have contains 0.30 fl oz of product and retailed for $1.00 back then if I remember correctly. The newer versions now contain 0.45 fl oz of product and retail for ~$1.50 - $1.90. You can see those here.

Please excuse my cuticles!
