Mani Thursday

Here is my weekly manicure update! This week I went with a new color for me. I do not think that I have ever used a polish this shade before and I am loving it! It is a great winter color that isn't too dark but has just the right amount of lightness to it. We all know that I love Sally Hansen nail products, so of course that is who makes this gorgeous polish. I purchased this particular color almost a week ago at my local CVS. The application was really smooth but it did require two coats. I think this is because I didn't wait enough time to apply the second coat. This polish brand is really a great bang for your buck!

To apply the polish I began with my normal routine of applying a base coat. Like mentioned before, this just ensures that you start with a fresh nail surface and paint applies smoothly.

This shade of polish is called Plum's the Word (280). That is an adorable name! This color is a perfect spokesperson for plum! It is a nice purple brown color. So in love! I want to buy more polishes that are in this shade before the winter season is over.


What are your favorite winter polish colors? Have you tried any new shades recently?


Until next time!

NOTD: Blue Dreams

 It has been rather gloomy here where I live, so I decided to paint my nails with colors that remind me of better weather conditions. I love winter and all, but I just prefer brighter colors in most cases.

For my desired look I used all the polishes pictured on the left. You should be using some kind of base coat on your nails because it is a major life saver. The base coat allows for your nails to be super smooth and thus the paint goes on effortlessly. I used almost all Sally Hansen nail products. Sally Hansen polishes seem to dry quickly, which is why I seem to reach for them constantly. The blue glitter is from Spoiled polishes.

I have also provided for the names of all the nail polishes just in case you were wanting to create a similar nail look. The names of polishes are just too cute! The picture on top is the name of the corresponding image on the bottom. I bought all these polishes at CVS, but I am sure they could be found just about anywhere Sally Hansen is sold.


Ta-Da! You have made it to the big revealing! The look below is my final product. I chose to paint four of my fingers with the Mint Spring. For my ring finger, I painted it with Mint Sorbet and Use Protection. Painting your ring finger a different color is a quick but subtle way to spruce up your nail look and I cannot get enough of it.

What are some of your favorite ways to brighten up a gloomy day? I also love to enjoy reading and a nice cup of tea when the weather is kind of dull. Nothing is more comforting in my opinion!

Until next time!
