Fashion District

Hi there!

Today I want to show you a super fun new matte color from KleanColor. I got it from my Adopt A Friend a few months ago and OH MA GAWD I was so excited when I saw it! As soon as I opened it I messaged her on facebook to tell her how perfect it was! It really is so perfect, gorgeous, matte - barbie pink. I have a lot of pinks, but none like this one !!

 People seem to have a lot of issues with the way kleancolor smells, and sometimes some are a little strong. But, I don't think this one smelled too bad. It was kind of pleasant. It almost smelled like bubble gum! It also applied like a dream and so smooth. No streaks or anything. Perfect with two coats.

Here it is with two coats.

Is this not just the most perfect pink nail polish? I don't know where to find kleancolor around me, but if I see this color I will definitely pick up a back up bottle I love it so much!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Deep with Self Satisfaction

Hi there!

Today I want to show you a new to me brand called Poshinality! Poshinality is based out of Los Angeles and they are a vegan brand! woo! Last week Leah did a review for them of the color flirt, and you can check that out here. I had never heard of this brand before receiving an email for them, and I was really excited to try them out. So when I got the box I put it on right away! Oh my gosh you guys! What a gorgeous, and perfect for me color!

Poshinality Deep

The color is called Deep and it is a super creamy deep teal. The application of this color was SO WONDERFUL! It applied thick enough with one coat, though I still applied two, and it dried so quickly! Seriously, I was moving around and I accidentally smacked my hand against the computer and there were no smudges! This was not even a minute after I finished painting them I bet. I really loved this color so much! I got so many compliments on it! Even a couple of gentlemen complimented it!

Here it is with two coats and no top coat.

 It is so shiny and smooth, if you were in a hurry you could totally get away without a top coat!

 I wanted to add a little bit of glitter so I used Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Self Satisfied. I seriously loved the two polishes together it was ridiculous!!

I thought I had given myself ample time for my nails to dry before I left the house, but as I was getting the dog into the car I smudged it a little. I didn't have time to fix it till two days later, and I still loved it so much that I took it off and re-painted them the same!

 I can't wait to try more colors from Poshinality! I was checking out their website the other day and I noticed their spring collection. uhm, Gooorgeous! I need it in my life!

The polishes start at $9.50, and you can like Poshinality on Facebook and you can check out their website, here!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

*This polish was sent to me for my honest opinion.

Splatter Pink Blue

Hi there!

So as you know Leah came to visit me in the beginning of April for her birthday. One of the days she was here we decided to go to the mall by my hubby's work and check out all the stores out there. We found a lot of really fun stuff, including this nail polish.

I had been at Hot Topic about a week before while I was waiting for hubby to get off work and saw this polish, but it was the only one on the rack, everything in the store was buy one get one 50% off so I figured by the time I had some extra money it would be gone. I was sooooo excited when Leah and I went and it was still there! I grabbed this one for sure and picked up another one. They have so many colors to choose from, and they are all so pretty it was so hard to choose!

The color is Splatter pink blue by BlackHeart Beauty and oh my.. I am so glad, and lucky, that it was still there!! Totally worth the wait! It is such a gorgeous hot pink base with bright blue glitters. They go together so perfect. I can't even handle it.

There are tons of glitters in it and I was kind of a little expecting the polish to go on gloppy because of it, but it didn't! It went on so nice! The glitters were super easy to get but for the amount of glitter in the polish, they were not over powering. Here is a picture of the bottle so you can get an idea!

I rolled and shook the bottle for a while to get them disbursed and there's just so many! Its awesome! 

Here it is with two coats no top coat. It looks like it dries with a texture, but it is actually smooth!

 I totally loved this color so hard. For sure there is a purple version that I saw too. I definitely want to try that one too! If your local Hot Topic is having the buy one get one 50% off sale this is definitely something to take advantage of! These polishes are $5 each normally. There are so many colors to choose from, I was there again just the other day and they had even more colors!  If you get the buy one get one 50% off, that is 2 sweet ass polishes for like $8.

Holler!

Gah, I so wish I could have like a million dollars just to spend on nail polish!! lololol don't all of us polish addicts!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Give me Nude, Baby

Hi there!

Today I want to show a goooorgeous nude polish!

I don't generally do nudes, but I was at Ulta about a month ago looking for the new Essence texture colors.... I only found one of them, but I also found this new color. On the lid is said WOW! Perfect Finish- and I was very curious. I got them both and I really couldn't wait to try this beauty out.

This nude polish was seriously flawless. It applied so nice and smooth. It evenly coats the nail. This color would be great with just one coat for those who don't like naked nails, but maybe can't paint their nails for work or school, or can but just can't wear bright or noticeable colors.

Here it is with two thick coats no top coat.  (Please excuse the yellow dots they were stained on my nails, and I didn't notice until I was editing the pictures!)

This color was just SO gorgeous. The finish really is perfect. I recommend it for everyone's collection! Seriously! You cannot go wrong with this color! This is probly the best nude I have ever used. I found it at Ulta for $1.99, and if you sign up for the Ulta rewards they send coupons for like $3.50 off $10 so you can get a few colors to try!  I talked to the ladies at Ulta and they think they will only receive the red texture polish so I am on the look out for the other ones! Please let me know if you find them!

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Poshinality

Panacea and I have come so far with our blogging that people have been contacting us to do reviews of their brand!! Its so exciting! So right before I left to visit Pan in Chicago we got an email from Poshinality! She wanted us to review her polishes. She's a new brand out of Los Angeles. She has some really gorgeous polishes, I can't wait to try more! You can visit her store here.

Poshinality Flirt


She sent me Flirt to try. Its a shimmery/glittery soft pink top coat. Its such a gorgeous color! It would be cute for just a lil something extra on your nails by itself, or with another color underneath! I tried it both ways and loved it both ways. It would have looked so much cuter though on my nails by itself if my nails weren't stained. I have been so lazy and haven't fixed them yet.

I decided I wanted to also try it with another color, so I used Hey Baby from OPI. Its a pink from the Gwen Stefani collection. Panacea got it for me for my birthday! Its such a gorgeous color and looked perfect with Flirt!

After I did all that I paired it up with some white dots with my I <3 Nail Art pen by Sally Hansen and a rose on my accent nail. I used Fingrs Heart 2 Art fimo slices.

Flirt is an awesome formula! Almost no smell to it at all, it went on so smoothly, and it is holding up awesomely! I have even washed a few dishes and this is what they look like after 4 days of wear. I even have been doing more than usual lately, so they have been getting a good workout! lol It also dried at a good rate! Don't mind my dry hands in this last pic. Washed em a lot today and my lotion wore off and haven't put more on yet. lol

OPI Hey Baby & Poshinality Flirt

This brand is very professional and not super expensive. Her polishes are about $9.50 each. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new brand to try out! Her polishes are 5 free, vegan, and cruelty free, so thats super awesome! She also said this on her website:

     "Through B. Cause, POSHINALITY donates a portion of its revenue to social causes and campaigns that drive for long-term change.  B. Cause which stands for Beauty Cause seeks to expand the definition of beauty through giving.  POSHINALITY’s current areas of focus are domestic violence, sex trafficking, AIDS awareness/care and global clean water initiatives."

For my colors I used Nicole by OPI Stand by your Manny, Julep Kate, Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Untrodden Snow, China Glaze Running in Circles, Orly Pixie Power, Zoya Sunshine, Nicole by OPI Promises in the Dark, OPI Chillin like a Villain, Zoya Chita.

Easter Nails

Hi there!

Happy Easter to those who celebrate! Happy Sunday to those who don't! I hope everyone just has a wonderful Sunday, regardless of their plans!

Really quick, if you are planning on buying a bunny for your child this Easter, please do your research. Bunnies are not toys; they are gorgeous and amazing creatures that live for like 10 years! Unless you are planning on being able to handle that kind of commitment, please don't buy one!! If you are ready for that commitment, YAYYYY!!!, adopt from a shelter or bunny rescue! 


Ok now onto my Easter nail art! I did not really love these. But, I dig my bunny. He is cute!!





For this mani I used: LynBDesigns Speckled Egg from her Spring Duo she released last year. ( I did a review on it here. ), OPI Chillin like a Villain, Blue Eyed Girl Lacquer Floppy. Hoppy. BUNNIES!, Zoya Julie, LA Colors Energy Source. For the nail art I used Color Club yellow, purple holographic and black holographic nail art pens, Its So Easy Bright Pink nail art pen, LA Colors White nail art pen. 

I hope you enjoy my nail art! Thank you for reading!

Happy Easter! If you do any special nail art we would LOVE for you to share it on our page!
