Price: $8.50 * Buy At: Orly's Website * Size: 0.6 fl oz / 18 ml The Orly Nail Lacquer in Peaceful Opposition is a milky white polish with silver square glitter. Peaceful Opposition applied surprisingly easy and actually dried quite quickly. With three coats, Peaceful Opposition is still not quite opaque, but I really like the look of it being slightly sheer. You can get a lot more glitter to apply if you leave the polish upside down for a little bit, but I didn't realize this until I had already finished painting my left hand (the one shown in the photos). Peaceful Opposition is such a unique, pretty polish and I would suggest it to anyone! XOX ♥
Price: $2.99 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.23 fl oz / 7 ml The Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Pretty in Peach is a bright peach color with no shimmer or glitter. Pretty in Peach does not dry to a matte finish, but it has a dull shine. Pretty in Peach applied pretty evenly, but it had a semi-sheer formula and needed 3 coats to be opaque. I absolutely love this color and have been looking for a peach color like this for a while, this is a definite must have color for spring! XOX ♥
Price: $8 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 15 mL / 0.5 fl oz Zoya Dream is a royal blue jelly polish packed with holographic glitter. The jelly formula of Dream allows the glitter to all show through, making this polish look stunning. Many other reviews I've seen make Dream to appear as a duller blue, but on me, Dream is a true royal blue. The formula of Dream was...a dream! It applied so smooth and evenly and even dried quite quickly. Once dried, Dream had a very smooth feel, like a creme polish, not gritty like many polishes that contain glitter. I used two coats of Dream for the swatch pictures. Unfortunately, my camera just couldn't handle all the glitter in the polish, so it is a bit blurry. XOX ♥
Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.23 fl oz / 7 ml The Maybelline Colorshow Street Art Nail Polish in Blue Beats is a clear polish filled with light blue and black large hexes, small hexes and confetti pieces. The Maybelline Colorshow Street Art line immediately reminded me of the Xplosives Top Coats from the Formula X for Sephora line. I really wanted polishes from this line, but didn't want to pay $12.50, so I was so excited to see the Street Art line from Maybelline. Blue Beats looks very similar to Turbulent from the Sephora line. Blue Beats applied very nicely and didn't need to be built up to get an even coating of hexes on the nails. It also doesn't leave the nails feeling gritty or bumpy. I used 2 coats of Blue Beats on all my nails, on bare nails (middle and pinky) and over a white polish (index and ring). XOX ♥
Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.23 fl oz / 7 ml The Maybelline Color Show Street Art Nail Polish in Nighttime Noise is a clear polish filled with a mix of royal blue large hexes & confetti pieces and black large and small hexes. Nighttime Noise didn't need to be built up very much and applied quite evenly, not leaving any bare spots on my nails. While the hexes do feel a little bumpy on the nails, Nighttime Noise doesn't make the nails feel textured or gritty. Two coats of Nighttime Noise are shown in the pictures, on bare nails on my middle & pinky fingers and over a white polish on my index and ring fingers. XOX ♥
Valentine's Day is coming up soon and here I have a cute heart mani perfect for the upcoming holiday. To start off this nail art, I painted each of my nails a base coat. I painted my index finger and pinky nail white, middle finger light pink and ring finger a darker pink. The white nails were pretty simple to finish, I used two different hearts and a few small pink balls from a nail art rhinestone kit and carefully applied them to the semi-wet nail. For the light pink nail, I used a small dotting tool in white polish to make two dots and carefully dragged them together to make the heart shape. I repeated this until the nail was filled with little hearts. For the darker pink nail, I used a white polish to make the shape of a hear and outlined it with white dots once it had dried. To finish it off I used the same darker pink color and a small dotting tool to outline the inside of the heart. Lastly, I applied top coat to all the nails. XOX ♥
Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.4 fl oz The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Sun Kissed is a yellow orange cream. Sun Kissed goes on a little patchier than other polishes from the Xtreme Wear line, but evened out in three coats. I think Sun Kissed is a nice staple for any collection, even if orange is not your color (it definitely isn't mine). An orange like this will work great on the toes in summer, make beautiful ombre nails and will work great for pumpkin nails in October. XOX ♥
