Price: $2.49 * Buy At: Target * Size: 0.4 oz / 11.8 ml The Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Mint Sorbet is a pastel mint creme. Like most of the Xtreme Wear polishes, Mint Sorbet has a very opaque formula and only needed two coats to be completely opaque, although you might be able to get away with one. Mint Sorbet's formula is slightly thick, but I still think that it has an average dry time. XOX ♥
The Trim Family Manicure Set is a six piece nail care set that includes tweezers, two cuticle sticks, toenail clippers, a salon board and fingernail clippers. TweezersThese tweezers are angled at the ends and designed for tweezing eyebrows. It's suggested to grab the hair at the base and pull in the direction that the hair grows. Cuticle SticksThe kit includes two wooden cuticle sticks that are exactly the same. One end comes to a point and the other end it cut at an angle. The flat end is meant to push back the cuticles, while the pointed edge is meant for cleaning underneath the nails. Toenail ClippersThe toenail clippers in this kit are just like any others. It is suggested to clip toenails when they are wet (like after a shower) to make it the easiest. There's not much to say about toenail clippers, but these did get the job done. Salon BoardThis salon board is designed for use with acrylic nails, and since I don't have acrylics I can't really say how it works. It does look like a typical nail file, but the texture is not nearly as fine, which could cause damage to the nails if used as a nail file. Fingernail ClippersJust like the toenail clippers, the fingernail clippers get the job done and there is not much to say. XOX ♥
Price: $3.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.23 fl oz / 7 ml The Maybelline Color Show Nail Lacquer in Bleached in Peach is a neon peachy melon from the Bleached Neons Summer 2014 collection. Bleached in Peach is a true neon and practically glows on the nails. The color in the swatch photos is pretty spot on, but it is slightly pinker in real life. This polish did not work well with thin coats, I found that using medium to thick coats worked best. I used three coats of Bleached in Peach in the swatch photos. XOX ♥
Price: $1.50 * Buy At: Walmart * Size: 0.27 fl oz / 8 ml The Rimmel 60 Second Nail Polish in Sweet Lavender is a light purple with a creme finish. Somehow this polish looks very subtle on me (especially in less harsh light). Sweet Lavender's formula was nice, but it didn't live up to the "60 seconds" name. This polish actually took a while to dry. XOX ♥
Price: $1.99 * Buy At: Walmart * Size: 0.45 fl oz / 13.3 ml The Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Nail Polish in Sturdy Sapphire is a sheer, blue duochrome polish. It took three coats of Sturdy Sapphire to achieve the still sheer color in the photos. The polish is quite thin and easy to apply. Sturdy Sapphire is an interesting color, and would be a great addition for any duochrome fans out there. XOX ♥
Price: $10 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.5 fl oz / 15 ml The Pop Beauty Nail Glam Nail Polish in Loud Lime is a neon lime green that leans slightly yellow. Unlike many neon polishes, Loud Lime dries to a shiny finish. Loud Lime's formula was pretty good, it wasn't patchy or sheer but did take three coats to get what you are seeing in the swatch photos.
