Sallys Beauty Haul


Hey everyone! A while back, Sallys Beauty had a great sale and of course, you know with sales that I had to check it out to see if they had anything good. I haven't been to a Sallys Beauty in a while and since the employees at my local one are sort of rude, I decided to check out another one further away. I am so glad that I did because the employees there were so nice! They bought out a box for me and took out all the nail polishes to see if I was interested in any since they weren't done bringing everything out. They were just really friendly and we had a great time going through everything.

Of course, whenever Sallys has their sales, I always end up buying nail polishes because you can get high-end polishes for great prices. I only walked out with three items and one of them is either for a friend or a future giveaway on my blog. I am not sure yet. I actually have a bunch of products saved for a future blog giveaway so make sure to follow my blog, if you are interested.

WHAT I BOUGHT:
Orly The Original French Manicure Neon FX Kit
I think this set came out a while back because the box that it came in was pretty beat up but I didn't care. I have been meaning to pick up some Orly polishes to try out for a while now since I have been hearing so many great things about them. I actually only have one Orly product in my whole collection (before this purchase) and that was my Orly Top2Bottom polish. I actually only paid about $2 plus tax for this kit! It actually comes with three polishes, white tip guides, and a look book with tutorials. The polishes that came with this kit are two polishes in "White Tips" and "Oh Cabana Boy" and the Top2Bottom Basecoat & Topcoat All-In-One. Its basically a complete kit for salon results at home.






ColorClub Winter Affair Set (X2) 
This is actually my first time buying ColorClub polishes. I have always heard and seen people haul tons of polishes from this brand and am finally glad that I got a set to try out. I actually don't remember how much I paid for this set but I do remember that it was a worth it purchase. I actually think this set came out either last holiday or in 2011 but I am not sure. What surprised me about this set was that the polishes claim to be scented, which will be fun to try out. It comes with four mini polishes so its a great set for me since I get to try out different shades from this brand. I actually don't know the shades of these polishes since the minis don't have name stickers on them and it didn't say on the actual packaging that they came in but I can find out, if you are curious. This set comes with 2 shimmery polishes, 1 shimmery duo-chrome, and a flakie top coat. The flakie top coat actually reminds me a bit of China Glaze "Luxe & Lush" from the Hunger Games collection. Let me know if you guys think so as well.







So that is all that I bought from Sallys Beauty! I actually can't wait to try out both sets, especially the Orly kit because it looks like a great kit for doing french manicures. Plus the look book that it came with has some nice tutorials for creating other nail looks as well s that might be interesting. I don't know if I am going to do a post with swatches on these since they were limited edition sets that came out a while back and would probably be hard to get a hold of now. Let me know what you guys think. I actually hope that Sallys has this sale again soon because I would love to buy more nail polish sets since they are so great to try out.

QUESTIONS:
Have you ever shopped at Sallys Beauty before?
Have you ever tried either Orly or ColorClub polishes?

NOTD: Dodger Blue (For Opening Day)



Hey everyone! So if you live in Southern California, then you would know that yesterday was Opening Day for the Dodgers! It was my first time going to an opening day game and it was pretty exciting! Since I had tickets to go, I wanted to show some support for the Dodgers by painting my nails blue! I didn't really have any blue polishes that were similar to Dodgers blue but I had one that was semi-similar.


I decided to wear Sally Hansen Hard As Nails 720 Sturdy Sapphire. I have to admit, I really dislike this polish. It is so sheer! It took me five coats to get the color opaque on my nails. With my first coat, it literally felt like I was just painting my nails with lightly blue tinted water. It was my first time using this polish and already you could see how much of it that I used up, which is crazy. It took a big amount of it for one use. On my ring fingers, I decided to use Sinful Colors 831 Hottie. It is a gorgeous sheer blue polish with blue, silver, pink, and green glitters. I think you can wear this polish by itself with just 2-3 coats because the glitters really apply smoothly. If you wear this polish as a glitter top coat, you would only need one coat to get your whole nail glittered! Also on my ring finger, I decided to use Sinful Colors Nail Art White to write the number "22" on both to support Kershaw since it was his first Opening Day pitching, which is huge! I sort of wish I did Eithier's number as well because it was his 30th birthday on Opening Day and of course, he scored a solo home run, which made a huge difference in the game! Dodgers won 2-1 so it was a pretty exciting game!





What I used on my nails:
- ORLY Top2Bottom
- Sally Hansen Hard As Nails in 720 Sturdy Sapphire
- Sinful Colors in 831 Hottie
- Sinful Colors Nail Art in White
- Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat

QUESTIONS:
Did you go to the Opening Day for the Dodgers?
If you went, what did you think about the game?
What do you think about my NATM?

NOTD: Spring/Easter Inpired


Hey everyone! So I was sort of bored today and decided to paint my nails two different colors. I was just going to paint all my nails one color and my ring finger another color, sort of as an accent nail but I changed my mind and went a little bit in a different direction. I have never painted my nails like this before and its alright to me. I guess its probably because I am not used to it. It does remind me of Spring though, which I like! For this nail look, I just used two colors and painted them on every other nail. Plus on my ring finger, I added a heart. I know its not Valentine's Day anymore but I love my hearts. LOL





Nail Polishes That I Used:
- ORLY TOP2BOTTOM BASE & TOPCOAT ALL-IN-ONE
- SINFUL COLORS IN 947 MINT APPLE
- SINFUL COLORS IN 313 PINK FOREVER
- NYX GIRLS IN 104 SHIMMER
- REVLON QUICK DRY TOP COAT




I used Mint Apple and Pink Forever as my base colors and on my ring finger, I used Shimmer as the heart. I think its really Spring inspired. It may be a little bit childish but oh well, I might as well wear it now because I am not sure about being forty and sporting this. LOL Well I hope you like my nail look.
