5 Nail Polish Colors to Try Right Now from @AllureMagazine and @CoffebreakwithDani

Hi Girls,

As you all know I am a drugstore junkie and pure nail polish addict, so as soon I saw @coffebreakwithdani video for this Allure Magazine article for five Nailpolish shades to rock this summer 2015, it totally inspired me to share my picks.

Hope you will find something from your stash too:) do share your picks with me.

This is the article and color selection Allure Magazine picked.

5 Nail Polish Colors to Try Right Now

MAGENTA

We get that you're not Malibu Barbie. But this take on hot pink has cool lavender undertones that make it elegant. It explains why magenta was the manicure of choice on spring runways, including Chanel's.

My Picks:-Essence in Ultimate Pink, WetnWild Shine in Lavender Crème, Essence Girls Night Out, NYC Wine Bar and Sinful Colors in Ablaze

Magenta is my favorite from all nail polishes color for summer. That is why you will see I have more options in that.

PAPAYA

What could be more appropriate for warmer weather than nails that are the color of fresh tropical juice (bright orange with a hint of pink)?

My Picks:- Sally Hansen Sun Kissed, WetnWild Shine in Blazed, Essie 1095 and Lac Beauty 1964

INDIGO BLUE

A hint of purple makes this blue an edgy update on the cobalt and navy manicures you've probably seen everywhere over the last year

My Picks:- NYC Purple Pizzazz, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

SEAFOAM GREEN

This is the vacation version of a goes-with-everything neutral. Pale mint is soft enough to work with your brightest bikini.

My Picks:- Sally Hansen in Mint Sorbet and Sally Girl in Brainy

BRIGHT LEMON

True, yellow nail polish isn't for everyone. It looks as crisp as linen on fair or dark complexions, but on olive skin, it emphasizes yellow undertones.

My Picks:- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Mellow Yellow and NYC Long Wear in Midtown Mimosa

Chitra Pal Honey Bee Nails (4)   Chitra Pal BRIGHT LEMON Nailpolishes

I already shared my Manicure using some of these polishes on my blog and Instagram , if you want to see how I did it, click on Instagram account (cateyesdamsel) or have a look at my previous blogpost.

Cheers

Happy Summer girls and do share your picks with me for this summer Smile

Review and Swatches for Pure Ice Outrageous 794CP


Chitra Pal Pure Ice Outrageous 794CP
Good Morning Beauties, This is a beautiful metallic pink color from Pure Ice called Outrageous 794CP.  This is very light weight nail polish, completely opaque in two coats. It was just $1.97 in Walmart. I was in hunt of good and cheap metallic nail polish, since I saw Sally Hansen color Foil Nail polishes coming up in drugstores. When I saw this beautiful color, I just picked up as it was dark in store, I was not able to notice that it is metallic pink. When I swatched it was so pretty basic pink nude color, dries quickly and y manicure lasted quite long without any chips for whole week. I would totally recommend this color as a drugstore nail polish, its very pretty and decent metallic with silver undertones to it. Hope you enjoy my swatches for this nail polish called Outrageous 794CP

Wet n Wild Fergie Vicious Varnish Highshine Lip Stain in - Throwing Shade A310


Hi Girls,
Today I am reviewing WetnWild Fergie Vicious Varnish highshine lipstain in Throwing Shade, I bought recently from Walgreens during weekly sales when it was 25% off on some WetnWild products. I got this shade because I was looking for this deep grape purple shade for sometime, and I heard good reviews about these lipstains when they came out new. They came out some months back in early 2014. They were price as around $3.50 for 0.17oz. depends on location you are buying, and if it is on sale, its good bargain. They are 10 shades.

  2. Highly pigmented
  3. True to color of packaging.
  4. Very light texture and glossy.
  5. The applicator is a flat, dual-sided soft sponge, which works really nicely.
  6. Stain lightly to your lips.
  7. Feels very moisturizing on your lips.
  8. No strong scent
  9. Long lasting, for more than 4 hours.
  10. Does not feel cakey or heavy or drying at all.
Cons
  1. Does not stain so much.
  2. Not evenly distributed with applicator, it looses control ad feathers very easily while applying.
  3. Hard to get off, from lips, clumped little bit and filled my crack and liens on lips.
