Summer's Day Clouds with Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect Air

Spring is nice.  Warmer weather, sunshine and more importantly, soooo many new polishes for me to try.  Going past Shoppers today I thought I'd better try something from the new Smooth and Perfect line from Sally Hansen.  I've liked a lot Sally Hansen's, especially the Complete Salon Manicure line so even though the colours weren't mind-blowing, I gritted my teeth and picked up a pretty sky blue, Air.

What I didn't notice about this one in the store was that it's bordering on a frost! The first coat of this was so super sheer and frosty, I was all ready to be sad.  The blue was so pretty in the bottle, I decided to persevere and it actually layers up really well.  The pictures below are three coats and you'll see it's opaque and most of the frost has disappeared, hooray!  Air being the perfect sky blue, I though I'd then add some clouds and man, I'm glad I did.  Using Rimmel French White Tip Liner as it has a nice thin brush, I just dotted on cloud like shapes.  Looks like a perfect summer's day.









The Verdict: Despite my initial reservations, Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect in Air really is pretty smooth and perfect.  The blue is so light and pretty, it can stay.  I also really like the Rimmel french tip, it's going to continue to be my nail air white, especially since the white is so opaque. Yay clouds!

  1. I love the clouds :)

    I've been wondering about the Smooth & Perfect. I'm not a big fan of blue but now I gotta try Air.

Review: Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles is Accurately Named

It's amazing what you can find when you wander around at night.  My favourite time to go shopping is ridiculously late and I'm extra happy when it pays off.  I've been looking for Nicole by OPI A Million Sparkles for a while now at that couldn't be more up my alley if it tried.  I finally managed to find it in a Shoppers last night and it really does live up to its name. A Million Sparkles is a predominately blue glitter that has an amazing ability to look like a foil after a couple of coats.  Combine that with gold, silver and pink bar glitter and you have a winner.  It's seriously so sparkly I got distracted from what I was saying at lunch today.  Application is decent but you really need four coats to get completely opaque coverage.  That's ok, glitter dries fast.  It's a little rough too but nothing Seche Vite can't fix.  The Verdict:  Yay glitter! If, like me, you like sparklies to the point where it's the biggest tag on y

Review: JENsations Stars in Space and S'mores

Guess what everyone?  I'm going to review some indie polishes that you can actually buy without having to wait for email messages!  Yay!  And sparkly too!  Imagine all the holo glory as while my lightbox produces lovely even white light, it saps any and all rainbows from manis, leaving me to try to take pictures in my kitchen like a barbarian.  It may not sound that hard but when you use a manual focus 60mm macro lens that has a wafer-thin depth of field, it's not the easiest.  Anyway, let's take a look at two, that's right, two, beautiful polishes from JENsations , Stars in Space and S'mores. First up, Stars in Space.  I started with two coats of Zoya Caprice, a very bright purple creme that you'll be seeing a lot of as it makes for a great base.  Next, two coats of Stars in Space, the most fabulous mix of silver holo glitter.  There's stars, squares (man, I love square glitter), hexes and micro glitter.  I liked this one as there was enough glitter on

31DC2014 Day 17: Glitter! AKA OH GOD THE CRUSHING PRESSURE

The challenge isn't going super well for me.  I could do it, but it's bringing up this whole complex mess of procrastination, pressure and something undefinable that makes me just want to avoid doing it.  I feel like I'm rebelling when I don't do a day.  Screw you Past Laura, you can't tell me what to do!  Add the pressure of choosing something for "Glitter", well, that's clearly not going to be done on time.  It's late, but look, rainbows!
