Jade Jump

   

    • Very pigmented and was opaque in two coats.
    • Comes very close to China Glazes For Audrey and Revlon Minted (possible dupe for them)
    • Great consistency of formula and very smooth application, mostly because of the wide and flat brush.
    • No chipping but started to wear off after a day or two at the edges which could also be because of Seche Vite as top coat which does shrink nail polish.
Base Coat- OPI Natural Nail base coat
Colors used: 3 coats SH Insta-Dri Jade Jump
Top Coat - Seche Vite

Blues....


Here is another go at sponging...I wanted to make it look like a water ripples...ahh well :P 

Colors used:
Base coat: OPI Natural Nail Polish

Base for Nail- Claire's Mean Green (Green); Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away (Light Blue); China Glaze Frostbite (Dark Blue)

Top coat: Sinful Colors Nail Junkie (1 Coat)

Any regular make up sponge will do. 

Green is the color

So yes, GREEN is one of my favorite nail polish color!! (in any form-shimmer, glitter, holo, flakies) I picked up these 3 shades from Sally Hansen SALON line at a local sale and I was very pleased with my haul =D

  • A dark green (closet color match would be China Glaze Watermelon Rind) almost like a mix of dark British racing green and Pine green.
  • Tons and tons of golden shimmer in the mixture and I can't tell you how beautiful the shimmer looks...it shines at every angle and adds such a depth to the polish....love love love the shimmer!
  • Great application with a very formula, only down side :( is that the brush is really small or narrow and takes a couple extra strokes to get even coverage.
Base Coat- OPI Natural Nail base; 3 coats of project runway.
Top Coat of Seche Vite doesn't affect the shimmer one bit...yay !


Sally Hansen Salon Honeydew










  • Honey dew as the name says it...is a dewy Jade green.
  • 2 coats to be opaque but 3 coats really shows the color at its best.

Sally Hansen Salon Forsythia


Hmm how do I describe this color..it's a murky Yellow at its best or a dull Pear at its worst!
  • Takes 2 coats to go opaque and application was smooth.
  • A very subtle iridescent  white/pearly shimmer is in the bottle although it doesn't show on the nail.

Blue-Away



Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Blue-Away. It's a sky blue color which doesn't seem too pastel-y like all the summer colors out right now. 

  • Very pigmented and was opaque in two coats.
  • Great consistency of formula and very smooth application, mostly because of the brush.
  • No chipping after 3 days but started to wear off at the edges which could also be because of Seche Vite as top coat which does shrink nail polish.

Cloudy Times...Sky blue!

 Essie Shelter Island
A nice blue which ranges between baby blue and neon blue! It's been really cloudy and windy here and everyday I look for the sun but end up with a cloudy sky...so here it is on my nails now lol

  • Not much holo effect but a very vibrant pink.
  • Need 3 coats for Essie Shelter Island to go opaque.
  • Application was smooth with no streaking.
