The 100 Day Nail Polish Challenge! Day 13

Hi people!

No time for wrinting, tomorrow!




Update: This a cool neutral color. It looks almost nude on me depending on the light, but he yellow in the color makes it intersting. It worn it once when I bought it and didn't like, but when I took it out again to force myself to wear I really liked it! I was opaque in two caots, which is great! By the way, it's a cream finish. As much as I like it, I don't have much more to say other than it's great!

Bye!

The 100 Day Nail Polish Challenge! Day 12

Hi people!

Today is chose this color, not only because it fit my shirt, but also because I felt like I had worn cream for too many days now. In reality only two days in a row.

Here is the nails:
Pedal to the Metal - Sally Hansen complete Salon Manicure

This is a very pretty silver shade, but what's really interesting about it is that it has sort of a purple/lilac undertone to it. On  the picture on can see it better in the bottle than on the nails. It's a really fun and festive nail, great for the holiday or even during the whole winter. It has shimmer in it, but I would say that it is definately a metallic finish, hence the name of it. As most metallics, it dries rather quickly. That's a good thing because you'l have to apply at least three coats of it to be opaque. It's also a bit streaky, but nothing impossible to manage in the application. The last two points are not really positive, but I think that this colors is worth taking the time to apply, I really like it!

Bye!

The 100 Day Nail Polish Challenge! Day 10

Hello people!

I know that technically this post is late and that I haven't post yesterday, but I lways go to bed really late on Saturdays. So for me it doesn't fell like tomorrow yet.

Here is day 10's picture:
Plum's The Word - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure


This color is what the nme says it is, a plum, but it's not just a flat out plum. It as a very interesting greige (grey+beige) undertone to it, which mkes it seems a little bit dirty to me. It is a great neutral color that can match most occasionn, even tho offices! It's not too dark, not too light, no too bright, but yet different from your typical boring neutrals. The polish has more purple to it then what you see on the picture. I'll hve to figure something out to take pictures of the swatches. It's a very rich cream almost opaque in one coat. Here, I did two, first by habit, second, my lighting was bad so I could not see if what the color looked like.

See you next!

The 100 Day Nail Polish Challenge! Day 9

Hi lovelies!

This post is coming late, but it's coming! I don't really like today's nails, but i'll still post them. I only chose this color because it matched my shirt and I felt like I wanted some shimmer.

Here they are:
Lite - Sally Hansen HD

As I was writing, I am not really a fan of this color. Well I'm not a fan of yellow nailpolishes. This one is very sheer. I did three coats on each nail and a lot could have used a fourth one. The shimmer is nice but it makes it a little bit streaky. The color itself is a bright rich yellow that I think has some gold to it. I find the results a bit tacky for me. I usually like bright colors and shimmer, but this one doesn't do it for me...

See you tomorrow!

The 100 Day Nail Polish Challenge! Day 8

Hi guys!

Sorry for yesterday' post. The weather was like hell and it made me lazy. But hey, I still posted, that still means I haven't quit the challenge. On to other things, today I got a little fancy and did some nail art. Well... with the limited capacities I have. I'll still talk bout the centrall color, there's is not too much that it would be a mile-long post.

Here is the picture (sorry for the messy nails):
Pacific Blue - Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear

This is a great color. It's a lot to say since I am not such a fan of blues. I don't think they look good on me. Tis one is the exception and by far my favorite. It is a vivid but not too light blue. I can't explain it, but even though it's a blue I feel a certain warmth in it. It's a very pretty cream and it is very pigmented. You could get away with one coat if you apply it a little thicker, but I always ended with more than a mess, so I did two thinner ones. It is  perfect color for Spring and Summer or during other season when you want  pop of color every once in a while. You can't seen well on the picture and got a little fancy and did a little snowflakes on my ring fingers. I was inspired by yesterday snow storm I guess... I painted the snowflake with a Kiss Nail Art color, Pearl White. I know it looks silver on the pictures, but the polish was sheer and the bluie under it changed the color.

Have a wonderful day!

The 100 Day Nail Polish Challenge! Day 7

Hey peeps!

This as already been a week since the challenge first stared and unfortunatly I already have problem with it. No time to post more than a pictures, bad pictures... Today's problem is that I can't post an actual picture od my nails. The reason is very complicated. First, this morning there was not enough light to take the picture, soo i figures out I coul;s take it earlier and come back to School to write the post (I don't have internet at my appartement). The thing is that Winter decided to launch it's first snowsttrom on us this morning. The roads haven't been shoveled and the snow keeps falling. So, whenever I get back home later, I don't think I'll try to drive again in this weather. I don't live far from school, but today's drive took me 3 times the time it usually takes me. Also, I don't want me or other people (that still haven't change their tires) to put my life in danger ;P. I have my winter tires on, but they don't seem to understand the job they have to do, anyway...

Finally, I could have taken the picture here, but I left my camera at my appartement, so.... no picture from me today. But I promess I've changed my nails! Instead of my own picture (Imight post it tomorrow) I found an other swatch from an other blog to show it to you. I think it compensate for the situation.

Here it is:
Mint Sprint - Sally Hansen (picture taken from The Daily Varnish)

Here is my own picture (which sucks):



This is a really cool polish. It a a dark mint green color with a cool undertone to it, almost turquoise like. It is super opaque cream finish, one coat is more than enough! I believe it came out last spring or summer and this is a great color for those season, but also year around because it's darker. It claims to be fast drying and it does, which is great. Even though I usually like greens I like this one as much, it a a rreally good colors. Beware as it tend to stain your nails a bit and it also tends to go everywhere when you take it off. When I do so, I always end up with green nails that I have to clean once more...

See you next time! (well, tomorrow...)
