Dermelect "Renegade" and "Moxie": Review

Here is a cute little duo sent directly from Dermelect.
I decided to wear them together, since the two colors worked so well with one another. :)

"  'ME' is the first peptide infused nail color treatment, strengthens weak, brittle nails, restores flexibility, helps resist chipping and splitting, superior extended wear, water and detergent resistant, UV protected, DBP, Toluene & Formaldehyde free and cruelty free (no animal testing, ever!)"

Here is Deremelect "Moxie" and "Renegade", and they make a perfect pair!

"Moxie" is a a plucky pink creme. It applied nicely, but I need 3 coats to eliminate any bald spots.  "Renegade" is a rebellious jade creme, and I am in love with this color. It applied perfectly in 2 coats.

While the manicure was still wet, I used my largest dotting tool and applied alternating dots on each nail. FUN, SIMPLE and CUTE! :)

"HOW IT WORKS
The first coat instantly bonds to the nail, while the second fuses with the base coat to create a flexible web of color that resists chipping and improves brittleness.  The ME colors combine fast drying, high shine and a healthy ‘green’ dose of vitamins, peptides and moisture, offering a colorful solution to the contemporary woman’s beauty concern—aging nails and hands. "

You can get these 2 beauties at Dermelect.com, each bottle retails for $14.00, also can be purchased at high-end apothecaries, beauty boutiques, salons, spas, medi-spas and doctors offices.

Keep It Sweet!

L.A. Girl 3D Effects Hologram Nail Polish: Select Swatches

Today I want to share with you my pictures of best drugstore holographic polish offered.  Originally there are 8 in the collection, but I only choose to buy 3 of the colors, since some of the other colors are dupes of some Zoya holographic polishes from the Holiday 2012 collection.

Left to Right: LA Girls "Electric Coral", "Teal Dimension", and "Brilliant Blue".

"Electric Coral"
3 coats no top coat
 

"Electric Coral" is a bright spring time coral orange holographic glitter.  This is a scattered glitter so it sparkles in low light and bright light.  This applied easily and dries to a smooth finish.

"Teal Dimension"
2 coats, no top coat

"Teal Dimension" is a deep teal base with holographic scattered glitter.   This beauty applied nicely, and was smooth to the touch once it dried.

"Brilliant Blue"
2 coats, no top coat

"Brilliant Blue", is definitely BRILLIANT! This is a deep royal blue with holographic glitter is AMAZING!  Easy to apply, dries smoothly and ITS BLUE! I'm in love!

I've seen blog pics of the other colors, and they are all just as fabulous as these 3 colors.

These beauties can be found at your local Rite Aid drugstore, but if you don"t have a Rite Aid or missed out on grabbing these earlier this Spring.  I have a treat, next week I'll be giving away the ENTIRE set...OH YEAH!  Check back next Monday for your chance to win the entire set.

Gold Finger

Hellooooo, I know it has been a while sine I've posted a manicure, or collection.  I suffered a really bad nail break on both of my index fingers. So for the past 2 weeks, I've been giving my nails the necessary TLC, to encourage nail growth and health. So they are BACK! Woo Hoo!!

Here is a great manicure I just had to show you!

BB Couture "Zuma Wave Rider" and Ruby Wing "Sunflower".

BB Couture "Zuma Wave Rider" is a blue creme, but at time is has an almost periwinkle creme tone, and don't forget a very slight shimmer to it to. It's very pretty, but it was a bit thin and needed 3 coats for full coverage.

Ruby Wing "Sunflower" is a fabulous pale gold glitter polish that changes to a bright gold in the sun.  These pics are in the sun.  I've reviewed this polish before, but I had to wear it again. 2 coats and it was perfect, and it dries so smooth, it's a gem to cover with top coat.  I love this polish!

I'm really liking the glittery accent finger, and this gold finger goes with everything!

I have so many polishes to wear and review, I don't even know where to start....stay tuned, there is a ton more to come :)

Happy Friday and Keep It Sweet!

Nicole By OPI: Special K Colors, Review

Hey NOW!  Today I have a very nutritious and delicious post, LOL...not really!

Nicole By OPI released 3 custom colors, bright and spring-like for Kellogg's Special K Cereal.

"Challenge Red-Y"
2 coats, no top coat

Love, love, love this red creme. Seeing this colors, makes me want to run a marathon!


"Be Ama-Zing!"
2 coats, no top coat

Bubblegum pink creme. I'm not a fan of pinks, but this one is so bright, I can;'t help but love it!


"Pros and Confidence"
2 coats, no top coat

Beautiful turquoise creme. Amazing. :)

All 3 colors applied perfectly, and although none of the colors are unique, they are nice.  However, I had one major issue.  All 3 stained!  I used base coat, and even though these colors were only on my hands for 5 minutes, they stained :(

So if you double your base coat, these should be okay.

With the purchase of three eligible Special K products, consumers will receive the shade Challenge Red-y. After submitting the purchase codes from eight eligible Special K products, consumers will receive all three lacquers – Challenge Red-y, Pros & Confidence and Be Ama-Zing!

“Nicole by OPI is delighted to partner with Kellogg’s to offer such an exciting reward to Special K consumers,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, Nicole by OPI Executive VP and Artistic Director. “At our company, we always say that nail lacquer can change your look – and your outlook. In working withKellogg’s Special K, we hope to inspire and motivate women who are striving for beauty both inside and out.”
