Glitter Galore: Sinful Color Diamond Lust Collection - Queen Of Deco layered with Pure Ice New Lilac

I've been sharing with you the polishes I purchased from the Sinful Colors Diamond Lust Collection. As you may remember, the Diamond Lush collection is described as an "Intense 3D effects for the ultimate bling". So far, I have really enjoyed each of these polishes that I have purchased. They have initiated a love of glitters.

The next in that collection that I have to share with you is a lilac purple combination.  So first I had to decide on what base I wanted to use.  Another Pure Ice polish in my stash was ideal.  I chose Pure Ice New Lilac, a lilac frost.  I'm normally not a big fan of frost polishes but this a great complement for today's glitter-Sinful Colors Queen of Deco.  

Pure Ice New Lilac is a very Spring appropriate pastel lilac frost. As with most frost polishes, it gave me some challenges with brushstrokes but being that I was layering this polish, no big deal.  If I were to wear this alone, I would just need to take more care during the application process.  I don't think Pure Ice polishes get as much love as they should. They have some really great colors AND they are only $1.97 at Walmart.


To the Pure Ice New Lilac I layered Sinful Colors Queen of Deco.  Queen of Deco is a clear base with micro purple and silver glitter.  It also has purple holographic diamond shaped glitters mixed throughout. The application was like most chunky glitters; the larger diamond-glitters needed to be placed for an even application.

I need to go through my polish collection and choose some other polishes to layer with Sinful Colors Queen Of Deco.  What colors would you suggest?

I still have a few other Sinful Colors Diamond Lust glitters to share to stay tuned...

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

REVIEW: Pixi Beauty: The Look of Summer 2013

Today I would like to share with you a brand I have seen in Target, but its just recently that I have tried any of their products.  Today I would like to share with you the new Summer 2013 Pixi Beauty Nail Colors. I received these polishes to review.  With Memorial Day less than 30 days away, its time that we start getting our Summer polishes ready.  It won't be long before the sandals will be our daily footwear. So what will be your pedicure polishes for the season?

Pixie Beauty has given us three great shades that will compliment any tanned skin tone.  First, there is Fluoro Flamingo, it is a bright bubblegum pink cream. I would say that this is just short of neon.  The first coat was a bit streaky but with a second, coat application as smooth.

Next, is Summer Sunset. When I first saw this shade I didn't realize that it has a golden shimmer. Summer Sunset is a beautiful orangey-coral.  This is probably my favorite of the collection and will certainly be one of my go-to pedicure polishes.  Application was easy and the color was intense with two coats.

Lastly, in this collection is Wakeup Wisteria, a mid-tone lilac creamy-jelly, or as a fellow nail blogger calls this finish, a "crelly".  Of the three, I believe that the application of Wakeup Wisteria was the smoothest. It was almost what I would call "self leveling". I hope to find other shades with this finish.

Pixi Beauty is a brand that prides itself with the mission to "make women look like themselves, only better."  While the Pixi Beauty Nail Colors also claims, "Super smooth application with a chip-resistant finish and built-in UV protection to prevent polish discoloration."

Their nail colors are 3-Free (Toluene, Formaldehyde and DBP free.) The Pixi Beauty product line is available online at www.pixibeauty.com and www.target.com, as well as in Target Stores nationwide.

Have you tried any of the Pixi Beauty Nail Colors? Which are your favorites?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

NOTD: Orly Lollipop

I have been on such a cream pastels kick lately. So here is another one. Orly Lollipop. It is a creamy, light lilac purple. A definite for the Spring and Summer. It was part of the 2010 Spring Sweet Collection that included other lovelies such as Snowcone, Pixy Stix, Lemonade, Cotton Candy, and Gumdrop.

Review:

·Color Family: Lilac 
·Finish: Cream
·Opacity: 2 coats for bottle color
·Collection: Sweet Collection Spring, 2010
·Bottle: 18 mL – 0.6 Fl Oz (20% more than the average polish)
·Brush: Standard narrow brush
·Price: Reg. $5.99 but can be often found on sale at Sally and other e-tailers.
·Availability: Ulta, CVS, and Sally Beauty are some of the major retailers that carry Orly
·Application: The first coat was kinda of watery & streaky, but the second coat smooth out the finish. In these pictures, I am wearing BC, and 2 coats of NP

Side Note: Orly Lollipop is very close to the recently released China Glaze Sweet Hook (ElectroPop Collection). Lollipop is slightly warmer in color.

Remember, treat your nails as jewels, not tools. Grace, Peace, & Blessings.
