Nail Color I am Loving CQ-Slate

I know we always think that we have found the best nail polish color in the world right? But honestly I feel as if I am always finding new colors that I swear that I will die with out. So when browsing through my local CVS and saw Slate by CQ in its cute little bottle I could not pass it up. Of course I had to convince my self that since it was the last by left of that color that if I didn't get it now I would never find this deep but bold dark green. Plus since it was only like $3.00, so how could I say no??! Sadly this nail polish sat on my desk for about three weeks even though I thought that I would die without it. But finally I put this nail polish on and it is even prettier than I expected the color is so unique its hard to explain. Trust me though it is beautiful and I have been getting compliments on it all week!

Ok, now that that you have seen it you must say that it is breath taking! Ok, yeah I know its just nail polish but for a nail polish it is really cute:)

Perfect Gray, NYX

NYX Girls Perfect Gray $2.00-$4.99
This wonderful stormy gray nail polish is true to its name, it is in fact the perfect gray! This was my first time applying and using a NYX nail polish and I instantly fell in love with this color. The application was easy and the nail polish glided on smoothly. The color was easily applied in two coats and it looked perfect.

This light stormy gray is perfect for spring especially if you are like me and still love your winter colors! This color is light, creamy and of course the perfect shade of gray for both spring and winter. I am totally in love with this creation by NYX. The packaging is simple but girly at the same time with the super shiny chrome top.

Maybelline, Sunlit Bronze

I have been trying out some neutral colors that are still a little girly and not to plain. I found this at my local Rite Aid and thought that the color was both girly and still ok to wear in a work environment! This was my first time ever trying this new collection of nail polishes by Maybelline. The Salon Expert nail color collection also features a new and improved brush which is curved to make painting your nails easier!

Fist the color was perfect! It an almost creamy gold color with a little bit of shimmer and light reflecting metallic glitters. Although my favorite part of the nail polish was that the brush was a amazing. I really enjoyed being able to paint around my cuticles with ease without having to move slow around my cuticles or be concerned about painting my skin. I haven't noticed any places where the pain has chipped yet, so far I would say that this is a great nail polish and I am going to get a few more. I would use this as my go to nail polish if I need to paint my nails in a hurry and I don't want to have to pick out the color or I do not really have time. Tell me what colors you use for neutrals that are not really plain or if you have used this nail polish:)

Pure Ice Honey Do

I picked this brand Pure Ice at Walmart and this color Honey Do caught my attention! it was such a sweet and pretty Honeysuckle color and I couldn't resist buying it because it was only around $3!

I was really excited to paint my nails with this color and it came out looking good! The color was perfect , and just what I had wanted. Sadly with in a day the nail polish chipped easily and I had to repaint them. This is a good color and nail polish but it chips really easily but it was worth it for the price that I paid. i would recommend this for the color only and if your the type of person who has the time to make little touch ups! If you hate when your nails chip then this is not for you.

I would love to hear if you have tried this brand and if you like it! Because I am moving to a apartment and I was thinking maybe it chipped because of all the things I was handling. Also if you have any cute room themes please let me know because i am going to be redecorating my room!

Anchors Away, China Glaze Collection

Not only is Nautical a theme for clothes this season its also being used to inspire nail polish colors. China Glaze came out with their Anchors Away nail polish collection which is 12 colors inspired by sailors and the sea:) I am really loving these colors for spring!

 

Out of the collection I have four favorites which I will do reviews on if requested. First mate which is the navy blue color, Hey Sailor which is a pinkish redish color, Starboard which is a medium green color and Below deck which is a purple mauve color. I am considering getting one more because I love the collection soo much! I am stuck between three colors and I will leave it up to you guys what color I should get between Pelican Gray, Sea Spray and Sunset Sail? Leave your comments below!

Secret Peri-Wink-Le, China Glaze

This is a beautiful color nail polish by China Glaze! It is one of my favorite blues, it is a in between blue and purple but is for sure a blue. It is a matte like color that has no shimmer or sparkles. It is still a perfect color for the winter and almost spring time and looks great on all skin tones. All of my friends have used it and to our surprise it goes well with all of our skin tones. One the last things I like about it is that it is a nice color but is not too bright that it is distracting so, it can be worn casually.

A Heart for Art, Finger Paints

Now everyone knows brands of Nail polish like O.P.I. , N.Y.C, Sephora, Essie and Barry M. These are all great nail polish brands that do wonders on your nails. Recently I have been wanting to try out some other brands just to see what they are like and to see if I could find a new nail polish love:) I fell upon Finger Paints at Sally Beauty Supply. There nail polishes are mostly around 4-6 dollars and come in a array of pretty colors. I picked up a few colors and the one that that I painted on my nails today is A Heart for Art. It is a super pretty color for the ending of winter and the beginning of spring. The polish itself is easy to apply with the long nail brush and doesn't take more then the two coats. So far I really like this brand and the colors that they have and will be getting more:)!
