Sinful Colors - Mint Apple

Just as I promised here is the Sailor Neptune color from my previous post!

Nail Polish: Sinful Colors – Mint Apple

Hue: Green

For all the lovely lacquers that I own I must admit that I kind of have an aversion to green or orange nails. >_>;;;; Its like how most people would never dream of wearing red eyeshadow, unless trying to imitate a geisha. I just find most shades of green or orange on my tips to be distracting and kinda funky looking...

But then I realized its all about shade! *hohohooo* So Mint Apple is what I would call a seafoam green. *cough* So I might be cheating a little as seafoam does imply a mix of blue in there....but it goes from a marine bluish tint to a nice sage green depending on the lighting.

Overall I love this nail polish. Its good to go in two coats and the color is wonderful, mostly because it reminds me of magical girls transforming *g*

I nabbed this one from Target for 1.99 and I've seen this for sale at Rite Aid as well for the same price.

Finished up the look with some Konad stamps (my new nailsession <3) in Sally Hansen Insta Dry – Whirlwind White.

So next step is to find an orange I can love too :P

Magical Girl Interlude!

Neptune Power Make Up!!!

Sinful Color Professional - Mint Apple

The color totally reminds me of Sailor Neptune! ^_^ More pictures and review here!

Of course no magical girl would be complete with out a trusty companion!

So co-staring the magical girl, calico kitty Star!

Shes actually my BF's cat. I sneakily let her nap on his bed while he was away >3 Hohoho ~ Kitty Fuzz Attack leaves deadly White kitty hair everywhere!!!

Finally no super heroine is complete without an evil nemesis!

Chipping Nail Polish! :<

No worries folks. This is not my nail which has been removed during a gruesome interrogation session. It is actually 6 coats worth of Nicole...Spotted, which I had so persistently applied while trying to color match the bottle in the previous post.

It just peeled right off two days later in the shower >_> So moral of the story is more polish does not equal longer wear. In fact it just makes you feel like some kind of gross, peeling swamp thing with your nails falling off T_T;;;

I actulally might try Mint Apple under Nicole....Spotted! I think the colors are close enough to get me the effect I wanted :D So hopefully I can share again with you soon! ^_^

Nicole by OPI – Nicole...Spotted!

So I have another glitter polish for you today! Lately sparkles on my fingertips has become an obsession and the only type of lacquer I've been buying. :P

Nail Polish: Nicole by OPI – Nicole...Spotted!
Hue: Blue/Green

So I love, love, love this color in the bottle! The transparent blue, green gel base filled with lots of glitter and some bigger hexagon holographics reminds me of Ariel's under the sea grotto sparking with treasure. And who doesn't love some hidden treasure when it comes in a duo pack for only $6.99 from T.J. Maxx. Woohoo! It came packaged with a silvery glitter polish from the same Gossip Girl collection: Scandal, Secrets & Sparkles (which I'll review later). But really what a steal :P

Comparison of 6 coats vs. 1 coat!

However, its a completely different story once it gets on your nail. With just one coat its a weak bluish tint that makes me think of nail fungus so I doubt I'll be wearing this color alone too often.

I had to layer on six coats to get this look and I think I could still go for more to match the color in the bottle. Since it is a gel base it dries pretty quickly but, it was still a pain doing so many layers.

Nevertheless its a beautiful color if you're willing to put in the time. I do want to try using a blue or white base coat first to see if it will help amp up the color and cut back on the layering.

Wet n Wild - Sparked

So put on your sunglasses because my first NOTD is all about the glitz and glam.

Nail Polish: Wet n Wild Wild Shine Series – Sparked

Hue: Pink

This champagne pink gives me all the pizazz I could ever want in just two coats! Is it worth the pain of removing glitter polish? Heck yes! Just look at that color! Reminds me of classy actresses before boob jobs and botox. Think Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Vivien Leigh all rolled into one. Its just pink enough to be cute with tons of sparkle for some sassy fierceness. *rawr*

Picked it up from Rite aid for 99 cents and its definitely a color I will wear time and time again.

After a week of work, which includes opening boxes, filing papers and playing with doggies, there was still no chips <3. Just two coats of Sparked with a clear top coat and I was ready to go. I love this lacquer because its easy to put on and long lasting while still providing enough visual interest (SPARKLIES!) without consuming a ton of time.

However, taking it off is a totally different story. I definitely recommend soaking your nails in some remover before even attempting to rub this glitter party off.

Hello World!

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs henceforth to be known as In Pursuit of Polish! ^_^ I wanted this to be a place for me to share my nail antics, but will probably include other bits of my life as well.

My addiction to nail polish really kicked in about a year ago and since then no more than a week has gone by where my nails were left naked. Changing colors and thinking up new designs has become a part time chore and a full time obsession. Seriously folks, I dream about this stuff!!! >_>;;;

Since some of my nail sessions consists of at least four coats and up to five color changes until I am completely satisfied, I figure I might as well share the final product (filled with fumes, sweat and tears) with the world! :D

So please take a gander at my lacquered up lounge and enjoy!
