Peacocks and Treasure

Hey!

Here is another quick post. I haven't posted any nail related stuff in a while and I didn't even notice! The manicure I have for you today is American Apparel Peacock with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure on top of that. Click on the pictures for a closer look!

Zoya Yara with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

Hey guys! I am slowly getting back into the blogging mood.

Today I have a manicure done using two to three coats of Zoya Yara and then one coat of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure. I really love this combo - it reminds me of a forest or woodsy area during the fall time.

I hope you all are enjoying your year so far! My next post will be the entire Zoya Feel Collection.

A Gradient Sea Mani Refresh

I added Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure to the gradient manicure shown in my last post. Then, I added ELF Matte Top Coat, which gave it a satin finish:

(yup, that's right - awkward right hand photo shots!)

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! I hope you all are enjoying your day.

Today's manicure consists of 2-3 coats of Sally Hansen Sweet Creams, which is a sheer and very light pink. I added a thin layer of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure over every nail, including the accent nail. Then over Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure on the accent nail, I painted flower stems using Ulta The Jungle Look. I used Jordana Tangy, OPI Banana Bandanna and CND Eclectic Purple for the flowers. The stem and flowers were painted on using some paint brushes from a pack of 25 that I purchased at Michaels for less than $5.

My Favorite Nail Polishes of the Year!

As a way to wrap up the year, I figured I would develop a list of my favorite polishes that I have acquired this year! These are not necessarily polishes that were released this year. They are just favorites out of the ones I purchased in 2010.

By the way, if I haven't already stated before, 2010 was the year I fell in love with nail polish! My polish stash has grown significantly this year!

This list is not in any certain order!

• Milani Chantilly and Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

•  Sally Hansen Diamond (middle)

•  Revlon Perplex (far left) and Milani Hi-Res (far right)

•  OPI Banana Bandanna

•  Milani Hi Tech

•  Color Club Poptastic

• Milani Gems and Wet n Wild Prancer

Sally Hansen Black Out and Hidden Treasure

I love this one! I can't stop looking at my nails =]

omg...is that...HIDDEN TREASURE?!

YES IT IS! I am so happy to finally have this beeeeee-youuuuu-teeeee-fulllll flakey in my possession. A certain man in my life bought it for me off of Ebay ( HE BETTER HAD! just kidding! ;] ) He said he bought it so we wouldn't have to head to every drug store all the time. HAHA little does he know, I will still be going to every drugstore all the time.

Hidden Treasure really looks like fish scales! I can't stop staring at my nails with Hidden Treasure on. I am also very satisfied with the fact that I cannot feel the flakes on my nails like I do with glitter polish. Sigh.

*On a side note, I checked out my local Dollar Tree (well local is a stretch, its about 15 miles from my home) after hearing that they carry discontinued polishes. I was disappointed in finding nothing except nail files and buffers ;[
