NK Nail Enamel - Charcoal Navy and Magical

Tonights manicure is NK Nail Enamel's Charcoal Navy and Magical.  This is an inexpensive brand ($1 each) that I recently discovered at one of my local beauty supplies. The application is really very easy and the wear is decent too.  

Two coats of Charcoal Navy.

One coat of Magical holographic top coat.  Flashes a beautiful green and blue.

    I have a few NK in my drawer but I haven't seen any quite as fun as NK Magical. I'll have to stop and see if my beauty supply has it.

    We don't have this brand where I live. My go to inxpensive brand is probably Sally Hanson X, but we rarely get colors that change for more than a yr at a time in that line - ditto for the more expensive SH Salon Complete.

    I am pretty impressed with the wear I am getting from the Revlon Colorstay new re-formulation. The creams that are darker tend to last better than any metallic or the lighter cream shades I find. I often see them at buy one full price get next 50% off and then there is a $1 off each bottle coupon on top of that - still if you buy more than a couple, it is expensive. The retail on that one is $8 most places - but the sales make it doable for me to try a # of them. I don't do well with Sinful - it chips and again we don't get color offerings in my area at all on this brand. The same ones have sat here since last year.

Dior Psychedelic Orange Review - Dior Day Blogger Linkup

Image
Hi Everyone! I am back to blogging finally!  Thanks for all your patience through a very rough time in my life.  Back in July 2013, I flew to Las Vegas for Cosmoprof North America.  One of my favorite things to do after the show was to go shopping at The Forums Shops At Caesars .  One of the first shops I went into was Dior, I was hooked immediately.  I did not have any Dior Beauty products so I purchased my first polish, Psychedelic Orange and a lip pencil to match.  Since then, my Dior collection has increased by 2 or 3 more polishes and a Gel Top Coat which I love! I chose today to finally show you this polish because a group of bloggers are linking together for Dior Day Blogger Linkup.  Psychedelic Orange is almost a jellish cream polish.  I used 3 coats above and you can still see a little VNL, but this doesn't bother me one bit.  Even though it didn't need it I did top it with one coat of the Dior Gel Coat, which is my favorite top coat...

Nfu-Oh Aqua Base...Worth it? Necessary?

Image
Tonight I was doing swatches of some holographic polishes that I haven't tried yet. Nfu-Oh's, Essences from Europe and BK's from Hong Kong. And the question that keeps coming up, is the Nfu-Oh Aqua Base really necessary? Isn't there a cheaper easier to access brand available? I've seen this asked more than anything else recently and it even came up in our Nail Polish and Gossip Group on Facebook. I'm going to let you answer this question for yourself, here are pictures I took, all using Nfu-Oh #66 Green Holographic polish. On the first picture, on my thumb, middle and pinky finger, I used the Nfu-Oh Aqua base coat, on the ring and pointer finger I used another well known brand of base coat. This is one coat of polish and I didn't clean up since I was taking it right back off. You can click the pictures to enlarge. I only used one coat, I didn't want to waste any more of this beautiful polish, but you can tell it does not play well with...
