Sally Hansen's Mellow Yellow

I ADORE the colour of this polish, but sadly the quality leaves something to be desired. It is the only Sally Hansen product I have purchased that has come out crazy bubbly. And it's not just my application. It's bubbly on each coat but the top coat does make it look much better. I'm thinking I'll go buy a quality polish of the same colour. :)

Pink and Brown Half Moon Mani

Polishes used:

Bubblegum Pink- Sally Hansen

You Don't know Jacques!- OPI

I did the old "reinforcement sticker" trick for this manicure. I was pretty happy with the results. The corners could have ben a little cleaner though. (Tip: If you are new to "tape-manis" you don't want to let the polish dry too much before peeling off the tape, otherwise it is going to make a real mess. Also, make sure your bottom polish is COMPLETELY dry or you will rip everything off and you'll want to scream! lol)

I only did 1 very thick coat of "Jacques" since I had to take up the reinforcements shortly after.

I played around a lot with this mani as well. Below are photos after matting the polish, and after 1 coat of Shine of the Times by Essie.

Floral Green Mani

Polishes Used:

Mermaid's Tears- OPI

White Konad Polish

Stamp Used:

Bundle Monster plate 210

Still kind of St. Patrick's day festive, but a little less cheesy! I'm really fond of this mani.

St. Paddy's Day Mani

Polishes Used:

Mermaid's Tears - OPI (one coat)

Fresh From of Bel Air- OPI (two coats)

Didn't think I was going to do a St. Paddy's Day mani, green just isn't for me, but alas, I am weak and here it is.

Wet Cement- Sally Hansen

This is just a really great grey. It looks great as the base colour for stamping, and is one of those polishes you can wear with any colour clothing. (Not clashy, ya know?)
