In love with The Real Teal - and other Xtreme Wear lovelies

After finding a few coupons for Sally Hansen products, I headed off to my local Walgreens to see what I could find. I came out with The Real Teal, Mellow Yellow, and Pacific Blue from their Xtreme Wear line.

This is Pacific Blue with some glitter over it

The Real Teal 

I genuinely cannot gush enough about this color. It's stunning. It helps that I love teal, but this is still a great polish. It goes on smoothly with nice even coverage. I barely needed to clean up. This picture was actually taken before I cleaned with acetone (I planned on putting glitter on anyway - and I did!), and I can be pretty sloppy! But this brush and polish formula made it really easy to be neat!

As I said, I wanted to add glitter and had just picked up this at the Dollar Tree. They worked perfectly together. In total, this is two coats of The Real Teal and one coat of this glitter that doesn't have a name on the bottle. 

I don't have any pictures of Mellow Yellow yet, but I plan to swatch my entire collection soon (just for my personal use, it's a small collection) so I may add it later.

I hope anyone who happens to see this enjoyed it! 

Creepy eyeballs for Halloween and a few other ideas...

I have done a number of random Halloween manicures, but I haven't really liked many. This one, I do enjoy!

This manicure is also using that wonderful blue polish, Why Not? by Sinful Colors.

Not sure which I like best... good combination ideas?

First personal post! My first attempt at a Ruffian manicure

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am very new at this (blogging *and* nail art), so please bear with me while I get the hang of things! I have a very small polish collection and home-made dotting tools. Don't expect any expert artwork because I am the furthest from it. I do hope you enjoy it though!

First up:

This wonderful artist inspired me to try the "ruffian" look.
I used a very old Wet N Wild black polish and Sinful Colors - Why Not?

Featuring my awesome Hello Kitty air freshener!

Another angle

I'm happy with the first two fingers, but the ring and pinky finger are a little messy. Practice makes perfect, amirite?

Thanks for reading!
