Beauty Tips for Women: China Glaze – Elephant Walk

Posted on March 23, 2013 by admin

I wanted to share a manicure I did using China Glaze Elephant Walk from their On Safari Collection.

Elephant Walk is a beautiful grey with silver shimmer. I tried to capture how nice this color is, so this is a picture intense post. The shimmers are more present under lights or the sun. Elephant Walk tends to lean towards the green side, depending on the lights. I had no problems with the formula; it was smooth and easy to apply. I used two coats for this manicure.

I could not resist adding some stamping to this manicure. I used Winstonia W115 to add cute elephants walking across my nails. I stamped with Pure Ice Silver Mercedes.

I give Elephant Walk 5 brains.

Beauty Tips for Women: Sation – Let’s Mingle & Jingle

Posted on March 21, 2013 by admin

This is a beauty product review of Sation – Let’s Mingle & Jingle. I was wondering around Marshalls and Let’s Mingle & Jingle caught my eye. I’m a sucker for blue hues and at $2.99, I couldn’t resist picking it up.

Sation – Let’s Mingle & Jingle is a dark blue or sapphire color. It has silver glitter throughout but at times it almost seems like a holo effect is happening.

I loved the way Let’s Mingle & Jingle looked in the bottle so full of sparkle that I couldn’t wait to try it. I found the formula to be runny and a bit streaky. I used two thick coats. Overall I loved the look but not the application.

I give Let’s Mingle & Jingle 3 brains.

Beauty Tips for Women: Revlon – Rainforest / St. Patrick’s Day Manicure

Posted on March 8, 2013 by admin

I would like to share a review of Revlon – Rainforest and a simple St. Patrick’s Day Manicure.

Revlon Rainforest is a dark green base with light green and gold flecks or flaky. The color is stunning especially when it hits the light in the right angle. The formula was average. I used two coats because with one it was streaky and patchy. I did want to make a note about the brush; it is the wide paddle style and I guess the shape was supposed to be rounded but instead it seemed like it wasn’t cut right so it had a weird triangle semi rounded shape. This made application a bit difficult. Leave it up to me to pick a bottle with a defective brush.

Being that we are in February, I couldn’t pass up not giving this gorgeous green a St. Patrick’s Day flare. I opted for a simple shamrock stamp using Maybelline – Bold Gold, which picked up the golden flecks so beautifully in the polish. The shamrock image was from Winstonia W105.
