MAYBELLINE COLOR SHOW NAIL LACQUER IN STYLED OUT

Nails Of The Week

Indoors

Natural light

I recently had to toss some of my old makeup and nail polishes.  Among the nail polishes that were thrown away was Chanel's Blue Satin, a long time favorite of mine.  Blue is my favorite color and I was planning on repurchasing it but the $26 price point had me a bit gun shy.  I stumbled upon this color during a recent Walmart trip and had to pick it up.  It cost less than $3 for .23 fl oz, which is less than a normal bottle of polish which is .5 fl oz.  But I think in price to fl. oz. comparison it evens out.

This color is beautiful! It is super shiny going on but it does loose some of it's luster after it dries.  But you can use a top coat to fix that.  It dried really quick.  I did apply 2 coats but I could have gone with one thick coat.  With just one coat you could see streaks when I held my nails up to the light but otherwise it looked completely opaque.

This is a different color from Chanel's Blue Satin.  Styled Out is slightly lighter in color, has silver shimmer in it, and does not have as shiny of a finish.

I have decided to put my Chanel purchase on hold for now.  I love Styled Out! It reminds me of a dark denim jean and I'm excited to wear it a lot during the fall.

If you love blue polish, I would definitely pick this one up if you see it.

This is gets 5 stars from me!

Have you tried any Maybelline Color Show polishes?

NOTW: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Bubblegum Pink

Overall I think this color is very pretty and looks exactly as it is named, like bubblegum.  

The formula was a little thick, but I have found that to be the case with all of the Xtreme Wear polishes that I have tried.  It did apply a bit streaky but settled while it was drying. 

Bubblegum Pink 2 coats applied

In my opinion this polish is good quality for it's value price of under $3.  I want to try this color as a base to a pastel caviar manicure.  

Have you tried this color?  What is your favorite pink nail polish?

Sally Hansen Swatch and Review in Pacific Blue: NOTW

Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear in Pacific Blue

I first saw this color in a video by one of my favorite girls to watch on youtube, Melissa.  You guys can check her out HERE, her youtube name is Melmphs.  Look her up!  She's awesome and has a great personality!

Sally Hansen 420 Pacific Blue, 2 coats applied.

I just loved how bright the color was! This polish cost $2.79 at Target and after hunting for a while, I grabbed it the second I spotted it!

The color applied so smooth and I had no issues with streaking.  The only thing I did not like, was that the polish itself smelled funny to me.  But that could just be my pregnant nose! =)  Obviously, I will be looking past the smell because this color is awesome!  If you guys see it in the store, I definitely recommend picking this on up!

Let me know if you guys pick this up or already have it.  Can you recommend any new polishes to me?

Thanks for reading!

Stay Beautiful!

Nail Color of the Week: Essie's Camera

My Nails This Week!

I have been wearing Essie's shade in Camera from this summer's Poppy Razzi collection.  This color is really translucent, so I was not sure if I was going to like it or not.  I did have to apply 3 coats and I could have applied a 4th coat to make it more opaque. 

The verdict is in, and I LOVE this color!! I actually like the color I achieved by applying only 3 coats.  It almost looks like a jelly like color on the nail, and think the lack of opacity makes it more summery.  It looks great on my tootsies too!!

While I have the rest of the Poppy Razzi collection that I can not wait to try out, this one has become a fast favorite!

Thanks for reading!!
