SALLY HANSEN TRIPLE SHINE NAIL COLOR

Hi everyone,

 

Today I wanted to share a couple of Triple Shine Sally Hansen polishes that were gifted to me over the holidays. One polish is a satin finish and the other is a thick chunky glitter.

 

 

LETS LOOK AT THE TWO POLISHES SIDE BY SIDE

 

 

 

 

Make Waves- Is a gorgeous multidimensional colour that is blue based, but has many facets in different light. Colours I see when moving around the bottle of polish are green, yellow and pinky purple. There is super fine glitter dust mixed in there as well, but its not apparent unless you look really closely. The brush applicator on these polishes are very similar to that of Wet n Wilds Megalast polish, which is great because the brush covers the nail surface pretty much in one shot.

 

 

 

 

Sparks Fly- When I look at this the first thing that comes to mind is effervescent bubbles, like sparkling water. This polish has a clear blue gel base with fine silver glitter and large silver hex confetti. I think this is an amazing polish. The picture here is with 3 coats, so it is totally wearable on its own.

 

 

I think I may also try this over top "Make Waves" that will be an interesting combo.

 

I can't say how well these wear long term, I have not had a chance to try it out as of yet. I will hopefully update at a later time. Until then I have heard good things about the wearability of these polishes and that they definitely hold there own up against some higher end salon brands.

 

Just to update- I did wear "sparks fly" on New Years and it performed well for me personally, but normally you can count on glitter polish not to budge. However I have yet to try "Make Waves" and see how it works out. I have now read several mixed reviews about this line of polishes which leads me to believe no two colours in the collection are created equal. The main complaint I have heard is its not shiny enough and doesn't have good staying power. So beware when making your colour selection.

 

Be sure to check out this extensive collection from Sally Hansen at a store near you

 

HAVE YOU TRIED ANY OF THE TRIPLE SHINE POLISHES FROM SALLY HANSEN??

A TAPESTRY FOR YOUR NAILS MAYBELLINE COLOR SHOW BROCADES

Welcome back all,


Over the holidays I made quite a few purchases and some were gifts, but I have a great selection of items to share with you all in the coming weeks.

 

Now originally I had boycotted buying anymore nail polishes, but I did receive some as gifts and there were a few I could not pass up that I purchased myself. That brings me to the limited edition collection of Maybelline Color Show Brocades. I was gifted 2 and bought 3, there are 8 in the whole collection, but some of the colours did not appeal to me.

 

LETS TAKE A LOOK AT THE FIVE POLISHES ALL TOGETHER FIRST

 

 

Now lets take a good close look at each colour and find out the names of these gems

 

 

Emerald Elegance-This gorgeous green is laced with fine dark and light green glitter and chalked full of large and small hex confetti glitter in a stunning shade of evergreen

 

 

 

 

Gilded Rose- This is a perfect marriage of fine gold glitter mixed with soft metallic pink large and small hex glitter to create the perfect balance of rose gold.

 

 

 

 

 

Embellished Blues- Like midnight in a bottle with fine green/gold glitter like stars in a night sky with large and small hex glitter in a rich deep blue. I imagine this one will be such a "NIGHT"mare to get off:P

 

 

 

 

 

Ruby Refined- Its pretty, sexy and will be sure to heat up any look over the holidays or even in to the warmer months. The base is a delicious candy apple red and gold fine glitter mix amped up with large and small hex glitter that leans almost hot pink.

 

 

 

 

Beaming Blue- Like a chunk of glistening ice that starts with a light as air blue base and melts down to small gold fine glitter that reflects purple in certain angles of light and mingles with large and small hex confetti glitter in this brocade ocean of blues.

 

 

 

All the colours are lovely in this collection and I like that the base of each polish has real substance in terms of colour instead of just a clear gel or slight colour. I feel this has really helped make this collection far more exceptional then some others. I feel you can easily wear this alone or use to accent your favourite mani.

 

However you all know that glitter is a disaster to get off, but so much fun to wear and look at.

 

Nicely done Maybelline "Two thumbs up" from me on this Brocades collection

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS IF YOU PICKED UP ANY COLOURS FROM THIS LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION?????

OPI SAN FRANCISCO HALF COLLECTION REVIEW

 

 

Thanks to the folks over at Langton Com. I was asked if I would like to review half of the OPI San Francisco collection and I would like to thank them for sending over the products extremely fast.

 

I would like to point out that this collection will not be available much longer so if there is a colour you see here today that you adore make sure to get yours a.s.a.p.

 

So lets not delay and take a look

 

FIRST DATE AT THE GOLDEN GATE

This is a gorgeous burnt orange/red colour that is awesome for fall time, I would say this polish photographs more red with flash, but in person has very strong orange tones

 

 

DINING AL FRISCO

This is one of my faves out of the six I received, it reminds me of ice. It is a rich watery blue colour with a swirl of silver through and micro fine blue glitter in the mix

 

 

EMBARCA-DARE-YA

I think of this as a delicious raspberry swirl with a golden ribbon of shimmer laced in it. Again another fave of mine. Its pretty, sassy and girly

 

 

HAVEN'T THE FOGGIEST

As soon as I saw this I thought of my girl Liz over at "My Pretty Obsessions." This is a stunning deep grey toned, ultra shimmer silver. I definitely feel this nail polish will take your mani to new heights for New Years.

 

 

 

IN THE CABLE CAR-POOL LANE

This colour is a creamy berry burgundy that will pair beautifully with a nice "CABLE" knit sweater and your favourite festive berry lipstick.

 

 

My recommendation for a perfect lipstick would be one of three options. If you want a sheer but good colour payoff, with nice shine, that isn't to heavy, I suggest the Revlon lip butter 40-Red Velvet. Two options for lipstick are pearl finish 625 Iced Amethyst and 660 Berry Haute, also both by Revlon

 

INCOGNITO IN SAUSALITO

A colour that is as intense as the juice of a fresh blueberry and looks like a drape of night on the nails. Incognito In Sausalito is a colour that is not for the faint of heart. If you like black then you will love this. This colour tends to be a little more time consuming to apply because it's not as forgiving if you make a mistake. This is a good colour to attempted on a lazy mani Sunday.

 

 

 

 

LET ME KNOW IN THE COMMENTS WHICH COLOUR HERE WAS YOUR FAVOURITE????

 

FOR THOSE NOT AWARE I AM ALSO HOLDING A GIVEAWAY TO WIN 7 FULL SIZE POLISHES FROM THE NICOLE BY OPI MODERN FAMILY COLLECTION FOLLOW THE LINK TO ENTER, THERE IS ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT

REVLON GRAFFITI TOP COAT NEW SHADE PERFECT FOR THE HOLIDAYS

 

 

 

Today I wanted to just quickly show you a new shade offering from Revlon its called the 'Graffiti Top Coat", I posted a pic on my Instagram of this and two other available finishes.

 

I picked #678 because it struck a cord with me, its very festive like holiday tinsel, candy canes or shimmering Christmas bulbs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the base I used OPI's The Thrill of Brazil and then topped it with the Revlon graffiti which has a mix of fine red and white glitter along with large red and white hex confetti along with white string confetti, its like a holiday party in a bottle.

 

The swatch is only one coat of the top coat and that's a lot so I imagine it will be even better with two

 

I hope you enjoyed this very brief post and you can always count on both OPI and Revlon to deliver on fun innovative new products to keep our nails looking fab year round

 

This Revlon polish was purchased at Canadian Walmart, you get 14.7ml for $4.50

OH BOY!! IT'S A LONG ONE

 

I have a lot of products to share so I tried to condense some of it into groupings "ENJOY"

 

LIP PRODUCTS

 

Maybelline colour sensational limited edition fall, 1000 Lavender Voltage on left and colour sensational vivids in 860 PINK POP to the right. Also the limited edition colour sensational high shine lip gloss 290 Flash of Pink. The lipstick is super creamy and richly pigmented and wears well and fades evenly. The lip gloss gives beautiful sheer colour, very moisturizing and lots of shine. 

 

Revlon lip butter in SUGAR PLUM is perfect for fall/winter it adds sexy glossiness to the lips and just the right amount of colour for anytime wearability.

 

 

Wet N Wild mega last lip colour in RAVIN'RAISIN a stunning semi-matte lip experience sure to please those who love big impact colour.

 

 

Rimmel Kate lasting finish lipstick  in 110 is a super gorgeous velvet matte lip colour that stays put and does not bleed or feather. This is a bright papaya/red that will bring your lips to life anytime of year.

 

 

NYX creamy round lipstick in STRAWBERRY MILK this is the most delectable ultra opaque light pink lipstick that makes me think of strawberry marshmallows, it is super hydrating, but does need to be reapplied often, but the colour range in this collection is amazing and totally affordable.

 

 

L'Oreal Collection Privee by J'Lo in J'Lo's Nude is bar none the ultimate perfect nude. The super chic and classy packaging is ideally what I would like to see from L'Oreal for all future collections.

 

GOSH volume lip shine in 03 TEA ROSE is one of the very best lip glosses I have tried. I love the colours offered and it applies incredibly smooth with no drag at all. It does not feel sticky either.

The tube is a very sturdy and simple design.

 

Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge water proof liquid lip colour in BRIGHT ORANGE is the clear winner for being the most intense colour payoff ever. Also when used with the clear top coat it will not budge. I have went swimming with this on and it still looked perfect after. This is truly an incredible product and this particular colour is amazing against tan skin in the summer.

 

ANNABELLE TWISTUP IN ROMANCE. These lip crayons are very convenient and offer a huge shade range. They apply very creamy and last several hours on the lip before touch up is required. There is also quite a bit of product per tube.

 

 

 What can I say, if I am not wearing lipstick this is what is on my lips 90% of the time

BARE ENGLISH & CO. MINT CHOCOLATE tea infused organic lip balm. Besides being organic this is also a vegan product. They currently offer 3 flavours and are in the process of some other fun and interesting products coming in the near future;) All around between flavour, moisture retention and visible improvement to chapped lips this product gets a 10 from me.

 

LASTLY FOR LIP PRODUCTS IS MY CHOICE FOR ALL AROUND MOST FAVOURED BRAND AND THAT GOES TO REVLON. They have the most diverse colour range and finishes at drug store level and are the big winners in my books, here is the proof

 

 Top row L2R- 510 Berry Rich (crème),470 Copperglow Berry (pearl) & 625 Iced Amethyst (pearl)

Middle row L2R- 660 Berry Haute (crème), 677 Siren (crème) & 825 Lovers Coral (Shine)

Bottom row starting far left- 001 Nude Attitude (matte), 002 Pink Pout (matte), 415 Pink in the Afternoon (crème), 460 Blushing Mauve (pearl), 850 Plum Velour (shine), 011 Stormy Pink (matte) & 013 Smoked Peach (matte) this shade is one of my all time faves.

 

HOPE YOU LOVED THESE SELECTIONS NOW LETS MOVE ON TO NAIL POLISH, I HAVE 8 TO SHARE BUT DID GROUPINGS FOR THEM.

 

NAIL POLISH PRODUCTS

 

First up is OPI liquid sand in JINX which I purchased right when it first came out and not everyone was familiar with the product yet. It is the best overall for opacity and definitely staying power on busy hands. I have gone a full week with no touch ups. Overall best textured nail polish as well. China Glaze is an amazing bronze thick glitter, but if anyone knows what colour it is please leave me a comment. The sticker with the name came off the bottom:(

 

 

This next polish is near to perfection in my eyes what an amazing glitter from SpaRitual. This is limited edition in the colour OUT LOUD its like an ocean for your nails. SpaRitual are 3 free polishes, they make a very unique colour range in small collections. The time and effort put in shows in the quality of their products.

 

 

GOSH special edition polish in BERRY ME and NYC long wearing polish in 147 Lexington Lilac

Gosh "Berry Me" is a gorgeous raspberry red that is a crème opaque polish. I find Gosh is another company that makes some very unique colours in their collection especially some of the special editions. The only down side is it does chip easily, but very pretty no less. Then you take a budget friendly brand like NYC that offers polish for $1.50 CAD and Lexington Lilac is an amazing feminine colour that wears incredibly well ( I highly recommend it) :)

 

 

To end this very long post is three polishes that are all within different budget prices, but all equally show stopping. Pure Ice in OUTRAGEOUS is a sexy metallic petal pink that leaves an incredible finish and you can easily get away with one coat extremely good coverage $2, Maybelline Color Show Sequins in limited edition shade ROSE BLING such a stunning fine pink glitter with multifaceted large hex glitter combine for a jaw dropping polish $4 and finally very last is SECHE nail lacquer in the colour ENAMORED this is such a splendid chromatic polish, but it does lean on the higher price end at $11.

Both the Pure Ice and Seche can be worn alone, or the Maybelline sequins is a good pairing for both as a top coat.

 

What were your favourite items that I mentioned in this post???

 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING THROUGH MY CLEARLY CRAZY OBSESSION OF LIP AND NAIL PRODUCTS AND HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY
