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.

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

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."

Happy Easter 2014

Hello lovlies!

This one is going to be quick. Just wanted to wish you all a early Happy Easter since next Tuesday will be after Easter. I have showed you guys these colors before HERE. The polishes I used are from Claires. Its their Pretty Please collection. I can't seem to find any other names for the polishes on the package. The photos of it are always really hard to capture true colors. They're soft shades, pastel really. They always show up so much brighter in pics. I decided to try some cute lil eggs this time with my Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art pens. On some of them, it wasn't completely dry before I used the pens, so its kinda lumpy, but otherwise, they worked great once the base was fully dry. They for some reason were being weird for this mani though, they were like fading almost, then the top coat kinda wiped the blue off. I had to reapply. I have never had this problem before, so I dunno what was going on. I finished it off with the matte top coat from Julep.

I think they kinda turned out bad, but I got a lot of compliments on them, so I decided I would share them anyways, plus they took forever, so I might as well share. lol

Hope you guys have a great Easter and enjoy the rest of your week! xoLeah

Blindfold Birthday!

Some of you already know, my birthday is today. So for my birthday I got to go see Panacea in Chicago from the 3rd to the 7th. We had so much fun! We went walking down The Magnificent Mile and went into all the stores we couldn't afford like Gucci, Tiffany's, Louis Vuitton, etc. We ate some really yummy pizza at Pizano's. We went and seen The Bean in Millenium Park and took pics of ourselves in it!

One of the night I was with her, we decided to do some Montagne Jeunesse masks. I thought when I bought hers that I had gotten the same kind of cloth one that I had, but apparently it wasn't. We still had fun though and our faces felt great!

We decided since we were together for the first time in almost 3 years that we wanted to do something fun for our blog. So we blindfolded ourselves and painted each others nails! Omg we laughed so hard and had so much fun, we even accidentally painted our own fingers and skin too while trying to do the others. On Panacea's nails I used Sally Hansen Triple Shine Play Koi. It was so hard to do because of the brushes being so wide, plus the whole not being able to see thing. haha

This is my hands after painting Pan's nails. lol

On my nails Panacea used China Glaze Wish On A Starfish. I should have had her do a darker color, but wasn't thinking and this one is just so gorgeous! It was so funny watching her do it, she was getting it under my nails and everything. I even still had glitter on my fingers when I took off all the polish. haha

After doing it blindfolded we decided to paint each others nails without blindfolds. lol I can't believe it, but we both forgot to take pics of Pans nails!! lol We used OPI Can't Find My Czechbook. It looked really good on her.

On me we did Digital Nails Convergent. These pics do it no justice! Such a gorgeous color! It looks blue and purple in certain light, then green in others! So gorgeous! 

Hope you guys enjoyed my post and have a great weekend! xoLeah

Aquadelic, baby!

Hello lovelies!

So I was totally planning to do one last St. Patrick's Day mani for today, even though its the day after. After I thought about it though I realized I have been seeing nothing but St. Patrick's Day mani's and I did a few this year already, so I figured everyone is probably sick of them. lol Decided to try something cute that I have never tried before. I've used stripping tape before, but never really with a design like this. I totally love it, its very late 80's, early 90's.

For this mani I used Sally Hansen Triple Shine Lemon Shark for the base. Then I used stripping tape to block out some triangles. I painted the triangles with Aquadelic by China Glaze. On my accent nail I thought I would change it up. I used La Paz-itively Hot as the base, then Aquadelic again for the stripes. I wish I would have made the stripes a lil wider, or maybe did more of them, but oh well. I can try next time.

Hope you guys had a great St. Patrick's Day and have a great week! xoLeah

Rainbows and gold!

Another early St. Patricks Day mani! I also wanted to show you guys some of the new polishes I got before I had gotten my package from my adopt a friend buddy this month. I will be doing a post with those polishes next week hopefully. I apologize in advance if this post is weird. We got a new tablet with keyboard, so I am doing this post as a test to see if I can do a blog post from my tablet! Thats also why the MyNailPolishIsPoppin.com tag is handwritten on the pics. I dont have a good photo editing program on my tablet yet so I just used the "note" feature to write it on. Lol

Anyways... Here is a list of all the polishes used in this mani and swatch pic. On the swatch pic I used the following: Starting with the thumb is Straight A's, Cosmetic Arts Ditch Day, Sally Hansen Satin Glam Go Gold, Sugar Shimmer Work of Tart, Sugar Shimmer Gummy Grape. Then once I put more on top I used the following start with thumb: Milani Sugar Burst, Hard Candy Black Tie Optional, Milani Sugar Cane. Then the purple heart is the purple I <3 Nail Art pen, and the blue pen for the blue heart.

For my St. Patricks Day mani I wanted to use all the new I <3 Nail Art pens that I had gotten, but I didn't realize until I started it that I didnt get an orange pen. Lol So my rainbow is orangeless. So I used red, yellow, green blue, and purple for the rainbow lines. The base is the Sally Hansen Satin Glam Go Gold color I used in the swatch pic above. Then for the pot of gold I used the black nail art pen and Gold Dust Woman by My-Stash Lacquer for the gold coins in the pot. Even though it looks kinda weird without orange, I still love it. I need to get that orange one though and do another rainbow now.

All these polishes are nice and I really like them. The Sugar Shimmers surprisingly take a few coats. The Go Gold Satin Glam is a VERY opaque polish, which I love. The Cosmetic Arts Straight A's polish took a bunch of coats as well to fully cover and still it wasn't as much as I would have liked, I was just in a hurry. I still love it, its such a pretty soft pink color. The pens I am till trying to get the hang of because I have a habit of pressing too hard or not waiting till my base coat is dry and then making it look lumpy. You can see it in my middle finger the most. 

I am not really sure why I love St. Patricks day, I don't have any traditions or anything and we usually dont really celebrate it in my family, but I love it. I think that maybe its because of the rainbows that people associate with it, cuz I LOVE rainbows. Or maybe its just that I have Irish in me. Lol My real dad who I have never met apparently is part Irish, but I am not sure how much. I would love to find him to find out. Do you love St. Patricks Day? Whats your favorite holiday?

Hope you guys ejoyed my post and have a great week! XoLeah
