Rimmel Salon Pro: Hip Hop

Hello there again!

Today I have a nice, fun, bright coral polish to share - Rimmel Salon Pro's Hip Hop! I'm so over this cold, dreary weather. I'm ready for bright colors, sunshine, flip flops, and the ocean. Any time now. Really. Hip Hop is such a cheery color that makes me so happy! I'm pretty sure that I have this same color in about a dozen different brands but who cares. This girl can never have enough. Formula was as amazing as usual. Shown is two smooth coats. 




Have a great day!

Nutra Nail: Rappin'

Hello again!

Oh, I love me a great old vintage green polish. So you imagine my excitement when I scored three vintage Nutra Nail polishes on eBay! I don't think I have any other Nutra Nail polishes, but I love the edgy colors and the metallic finishes. Rappin' is a AWFUL name for this polish. I MEAN AWFUL. But I really do enjoy the polish quite a bit. It's a very vibrant, bright green! Formula was really thin, so shown is three coats. It did have quite a bit of brush strokes but with these older polishes they really don't bother me one bit. It comes with the territory when you collect vintage polish! 




 Have a great weekend!

Revlon Parfumerie: Ginger Melon

Hello!

I hope you're all having a great weekend so far! Another drugstore polish range that I'm OBSESSED with is from Revlon, and it's Ginger Melon from their Parfumerie line. Just like the Rimmel Salon Pro polishes, I love everything about them and I have already raved enough in the past. I think I have over at least ten in my stash so far. Anyway, I love this color! I'm getting really excited for spring, and this polish just makes me more excited! I'm not big on pastel colors, but I do love me a great coral polish for the warmer months! Shown is two coats. 




See you later!

Rimmel Salon Pro: Barmy Blue

Good Evening!

Today I have a quick NOTD to share, and it's one of Rimmel's Salon Pro polishes - Barmy Blue. I have a SERIOUS addiction to these polishes. I've already raved a thousand times, so I'll save you having to listen again. But I LOVE THEM. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. Barmy blue is a really fun color. A vibrant hybrid of a cobalt and navy blue and it's just stunning. The fomula had a jelly feel to it, so I used three thin coats shown here. I'm wearing it now and I just enjoy this color so much. It's a great transitional shade from winter to spring! 




Have a great night!

Spectacular: Dancing Queen

Me meet again!

I love my polish friends. In my four years in the polish world they've come and gone and changed for sure, but my vintage polish friends are one of a kind! It's such a rare, unique, and patient hobby to have that we band together and help each other out when we can. Recently my lovely pal Hannah of Polly Polish sent me the most amazing parcel chalk full of Spectacular polishes! I NEVER thought I would own ANY let alone SIX! Seriously, they're all to die for. I can't wait to finish swatching them. Thanks again, Hannah! YOU DA BEST! 

First up to share I have Dancing Queen. HUBBA. HUBBA. HUBBA. I love these purples. I own so many yet will never have enough. Pink and red in undertones, it just glows on the nails in a way that just makes me giddy. Didn't need any thinner for this one, this is three very thin coats shown. SUCH A BEAUT! 





Have a great day everyone!

Hard Candy: Moody

Hello again!

Today I have a nice little vintage Hard Candy polish to share, Moody! I've been on the hunt for more and more vintage HC's lately, and this is one of my most recent. Moody isn't exactly the greatest polish for my skin tone. It's a shimmery, dusty taupe color that seriously washes me out. All of that aside, it really is a pretty color! Just far, far too cool for my fair skin. I do wish that the ring it came with wasn't a clear! Picky, I know. But hey, as a vintage polish collector it's all about the details!  





Have a great day!

Nails Inc: Disco Lane

Hello there and happy hump day!

I hope you're all having a great week. I was off all day. Saw my personal trainer, did some laundry, and did a few swatches. I've been on the healthy bandwagon again, and I've been trying to be the strongest version of myself I can be! It's such hard work I tell you! Being a lazy couch potato just wasn't cutting it anymore!

Anyhoo, today I have a Nails Inc polish to share, Disco Lane. I love Nails Inc polishes. They have such a great variety and they always seem to have new polishes to offer. If you're around a TJMaxx, they have them for $2.99 a pop! They didn't have any that I already don't own, but if you're in the market I would run up there! Disco Lane is a black holo polish, and I LOVE these kinds of polish! From afar they just look like a plain black creme, but when you get close or the light shines on my nails, it's extra special! These is two coats.






Enjoy your Wednesday!
