Beauty tips for Women: Smitten Polish – Confection

Posted on November 9, 2012 by admin

Today I’m doing a beauty product review of Smitten Polish – Confection. The description from Smitten Polish’s website is: “Several sizes and shapes of matte glitters in blue, green, pink, purple and yellow, suspended in a milky white base.”

I only did two coats; but if you want opacity, then three coats would be best. No problems with the formula, it went on smooth.

It simply is beautiful. It is one of those nail polishes that makes you happy or at least it does me. There is something about Confection that reminds me of Katy Perry’s California Gurls video, the whole candy scenery, her dress and it just comes across as pure fun.

I give Confection 5 brains!

Beauty Tips for Women: Smitten Polish – Winter is Coming

Posted on November 5, 2012 by admin

Smitten Polish has a wonderful duo set based on the Game of Thrones. I had been patiently waiting for Smitten Polish to restock her Esty store to buy Winter is Coming.

Let me start off by saying that I’m a fan of Game of Thrones and have read all the books thus far. Winter is Coming is the motto of the Stark House. Winter is Coming is a semi-sheer milky white base polish with blue glitters. It screams winter to me but it reminds me of so much more, like Jon Snow (Game of Thrones character belonging to the House of Stark), White Walkers (aka the Others in Game of Thrones), or a beautiful snow blizzard. Well enough of my musings. The formula was amazing. I did a base coat of white and then added two coats.

I was mesmerized by the combination of the tiny shavings of blue then how the bigger blue glitter would just make it all pop. When I use Winter is Coming next I will skip the white base coat. I have seen swatches without the white base coat and it looks even more amazing. So if you have a Game of Thrones fan that happens to be into polish, this is a definite most. If you like the Game of Thrones duo set, check out Smitten Polish’s Wicked, Tricksy, Flase, which is a line Gollum delivers in the Lord of the Rings. This polish is on my wish list. Do I need to add that I’m super J.R.R. Tolkien fan. So if you are a Tolkien fan or Lord of the Rings fan that loves nail polish, this is a most have too.

Beauty Tips for Women – Sally Hansen Parrot

Posted on October 31, 2012 by admin

I wanted share a beauty product review on Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in the color Parrot. I had been searching for a green color to do some Halloween themed nail art when I came across Parrot at Bealls on discount.

Sally Hansen Parrot is wonderful lime green. It is wonderful cream formula that went on smooth with no streaks. My only issue with it is the brush. I just can’t get used to the flat brushes. Here is a bottle shot of the item. The camera really just doesn’t do it justice.

I decided to test out Sally Hansen Parrot on its stamping abilities. I picked plate BM210 from Bundle Monster. As you can tell from the shot it did very well on both black and white backgrounds. I was pleasantly surprised.
