NOTD - Sally Hanson Salon Effects

Hi Pretties!

Here is my nail of the day :)

It is the Sally Hanson Salon Effects real nail polish strips that I got as a gift from my boyfriend.  I blogged about them on my Sunday night haul post.

These are the cutest little birdies and the style is called Not a Peep.

I can't get past how cute these are!

Whats on your nails?

NOTD - Essie Lady Like

Hi Pretties

It's been a while since I posed a nail of the day!  It's not that I have not been wearing nail polish, I promise I have!  I've just been wearing darker colours a lot and my application is pretty shoddy so I have not felt the photos have been nice enough :-(

Anyway today's nail is by Essie and the colour is called Lady Like.  This came in the Essie Fall Collection Cube I purchased back in March.  It is a lovely fleshy/mauvey/pinky colour.

What's on your nails?

Nail polish collection

Hi pretty people!

Well I mentioned a little while ago in my make up collection storage post that I would show you my products and collection in more detail.  I am getting to this but I am waiting on quite a few products from the US that I would like to include when I show you my favourite products, but nail polish is not one of them :)

This is an overview of all my polishes.  I store them in a wooden box I have had for years and unfortunately the lid doesn't close any more as I have a few too polishes.  I know my collection is not as big as others, but I am really trying to limit my spending on polishes!

I'm going to break this post up into brands and from left to right give you the names of the colours :)

Hi guys

Happy weekend!

Just a quick nail of the day today :)

This colour is by Orly and it is called 'Not So Dusty Rose'.  I think its a very pretty pink

Also a quick reminder that my giveaway kicks off at 25 GFC followers!  You have got to be in it to win it!

NOTD - Ulta3 Jade

Hi Pretties

Here is my nail of the day!  It is Ulta3 nail colour in Jade and I received this in my April Bellabox.  A luxury sample this is not.  The RRP is only $2 on these nail polishes so after I've had a bit more of a think I'm a little disappointed to get this in my BellaBox.

I own about 4 of these nail polishes.  Some I like, some I don't.  One I think is the best wearing nail polish I own.  Last night when I put this on I really really liked the colour.  I thought it went on pretty well, a little streaky but that might just be my application skills but apart from that I was pleased.

THEN this morning as I reached into my bag to get my keys out I managed to scratch up 4 nails on my left hand.  This is over 8 hours since application!  Very disappointing.  Now I didn't use top coat, but I don't use a top coat with any nail polish and I don't normally have this problem.

My 5 favourite autumn nail polish

Hi Pretties

Happy black Friday!

I thought tonight it might be fun to do an autumn favourites post. You can read about my favourite 5 autumn lipsticks here. I'm dedicating this post to my 5 favourite nail polishes for autumn :)

With Flash

Without Flash

So it's no secret I love my dark colours for autumn. Especially purples :)

Starting from the left hand side we have;
Essie Power Clutch - A shinny deep olive green
Rimmel I love Lasting Finish in 030 Double Decker Red - That perfect bright red colour
Ulta3 Black Plum - A plum/burgundy colour with shimmers
Revlon 790 No Shrinking Violet - A deep purple with shimmers
OPI Lourve Me, Lourve Me Not - A slightly warmer purple with shimmers

I always wear my Cutex Diamond Extra Hard as a base as it stops colour from transferring onto my nails and keeps them nice and healthy. Since I change my nail polish so often this is critical for me.

What are your favourite nail polish colours this autumn?

NOTD - Orly Aspen

Hi Pretty People

Just a quick post tonight to show you my nail of the day. Today I'm wearing one of my new Orly Polishes in the colour Aspen. Not a Autumn colour I know but it is soooo cold tonight and my feet are feeling icy so I chose this colour as it reminded me of snow and ice and generally being cold!

This colour is a frosted ice blue colour. Very much an 'is it silver/is it blue?' colour. But it goes on nicely and I am in love with the rubber toppers on these polishes.

What colour are you wearing today?

NOTD - Double Decker Red

Rimmel Lasting Finish in Double Decker Red.

I looooove bright red nails and this polish does not disappoint! Only disappointment is how bad I am about getting polish even around my cuticle!

Happy Good Friday!

NOTD

Today's nails are Strip Down by Orly. This is my first Orly polish purchased from Priceline in the $4.95 and I quite like it. Definitely needs two coats but goes on nicely and not at all streaky.

NOTD - OPI, Sally Hanson

Today's nail is Opi Lourve Me Lourve Me Not with a feature of Sally Hanson's Salon Effects in 360 Laced Up

I got the OPI from My Beauty Spot and was curious as to whether it was genuine as it was only $10, but it seems up to scratch and if it is a fake, it's a pretty good one! It's a lovely deep purple with what seems like red and hot pink shimmers through out.

Priceline are having a 2 for $25 on the Sally Hanson Salon Effects so I picked up a couple to give them a try as I have not done so as yet.

They seem to be pretty good, although I like them more of a feature than a full set I think. I'm a little messy at applying just yet but I think that will improve with practice!

What are your thoughts on Sally Hanson's Salon Effects?

NOTD: Purple Ombre Nails

Ombre nails are very hot at the moment and purples are a great autumn colour. Why not combine the two?

Starting with a base coat, work from your thumbs with the darkest colour and finishing up your little fingers with the lightest! I've used Cutex Diamond Extra Hard, Revlon 790 No Shriking Violet, Australis Peek-a-Boo, Rimmel 170 Lovely Lilac and finished with Ulta3 Speed Dry Top and Base Coat.
