I purchased “lightening” shaped nail decals from Amazon. When I received them I wasn’t very impressed with the shape. 
I decided on a purple color scheme. I used Wet n Wild – Who Is Ultra Violet? and Essie – Nothing Else Metals.
Beauty Tips for Women: Combination Review of Sinful Shine – I’m Blushing and Essence – Let Stars Rain Down On Me! top coat
I purchased Essence Nail Art top coat in Let Stars Rain Down On Me! It claims to be a holo-glitter polish. The bottle needs to be shaken because all the glitter particles settle at the bottom. It looks very pretty, so I was hopeful that it would deliver.
I decided I wanted to pair this with Sinful Shine – I’m Blushing. This polish was horrible. I have several Sinful Shine polishes and have never experienced such horrible formula issues. It streaked and had bits of black particles in it. I did two coats and it still did not look good and I did not want to invest in more coats to fix the problem. I hoped that adding the holo-glitter top coat would help. So here is where I finish my review of Let Stars Rain Down on Me! Stars do not rain down. I applied 4 coats. With a sponge and without and this is all I got. I was not impressed at all with this top coat.
To help salvage this manicure I decided to do some stamping. 
Not crazy at all about this manicure.
I give Sinful Shine I’m Blushing, one brain. I hope that this simply was a bad batch and that others do not experience the same formula issues I did. 
I give Essence – Let Stars Rain Down On Me! top coat, zero brains. Don’t waste your money on this at all. It simply does not deliver on its name or claims. 
Beauty Tips for Women: PinchMe.com Review
Recently I joined a free sample site called PinchMe. The concept is you get free samples for telling them what you think about what you receive. I thought that sounds fare.
I headed over to their site and filled out a questionnaire. Based on your answers you get matched to samples. Every month they have a new set of samples.
I received my fist box, the October box, with these samples and some nice coupons to go along with them.
Since then I have not qualified for any more samples, which sucks. I like the concept of this program but I have my doubts. One thing I don’t like is the incessant emails for program deals to other things. I have yet to find any of those emails interesting to me. That is the trade off for possibly receiving free samples.
