Enchanted Winter Collection

Happy Saturday friends!  Today I want to show you three of the Finger paints Enchanted Winter collection.  I only picked up three but I am wishing I had also grabbed Sparkle  in the sky because now it is gone at my Sally's Beauty!  I was never into texture for the longest time and now I love it!  I still prefer them to have sparkle in them as opposed to all matte.

First up is my personal favorite from this collection .  I think there is something simple stunning when it comes to black nails.  Now having said that I like black nails with sparkle.  Texture with lots of glitz or a cream black with a glitter layered over.  This is Winter Chill and it is so pretty!  It is full of pink, purple and blue shimmer.  In person the shimmer is more visible.

Next we have a nice Rosy pink with a bronze tone shimmer to it. This is Enchanted winter. I really liked this one as well.  I like pinks but do prefer less of a rose colored pink, but it was a nice change.  This picture was done before I changed my lighting and watermark.

The last one I picked up was the one I thought would be my favorite from looking at the bottle.  I do like it and my photo does not do it justice.  In real life it has gold shimmers in it that do stand out.  This is Golden Kisses.  How cute is that name!!

My skin looks awful in this photo and I was going to leave it out but for the love of polish I am adding it to show some of the gold shimmer.

Going by the three I have this is a nice textured collection.  I always do three thin coats for textures and that worked just fine in applying these.  I had no trouble in application and found the formula just fine.  Do you like textured polishes?  Thanks for coming by and Happy Polishing!  xoxo Jaime

Christmas Challenge Christmas Tree

Today for the Challenge we have Christmas tree!  I think no matter how you celebrate Christmas eveyone includes a beautiful Christmas tree in their decorating for the holiday. We have a big country living room and usually put up a big beautiful 10 foot tree.  This year I had not been feeling well so we only put up a 6 foot tree.  We are still behind in with some decorating.

I purchased Zoya  Chita recently specifically for this manicure.  I was not sure exactly what I wanted to do but knew I wanted green and texture.  A Christmas tree if nothing but texture.  I feel like my nails are so busy all the time (which I love) but wanted to keep it simple yet still say Christmas tree.  Chita has a lovely gold shimmer to it so I decided to go with that and this is what I came up with.

I did this Friday as a full manicure and will be wearing it until I do my Mani Monday nails Sunday night.  I really really like this and think it is cute.  It completes the challenge while being a nice neutral manicure I think.  The beige background under the tree is Espionage from Sinful colors and all the gold decorations for the tree are from a stud wheel I got at Five Below.  What do you think of my Mani?  Thank you for visiting and Happy Polishing!!

Mani Monday Textured

Happy Mani Monday everyone! This week the theme is textured. I have not always cared for textured polishes but I am getting hooked on them more and more every time I try one out! I have 5 untried textured polishes and wanted to use something from those 5. I went with 2 of the newest from L'oreal. I don't own very many L'oreal polishes. I have 6 in total 3 of which are new and textured. L'Oreal Colour Riche Gold Dust Textured Nail Color Collection just came to CVS near me and I was so excited to find them!!!

This is Hidden Gems and Pop the Bubbles. I liked these both in the bottle so much I just had to use them both and I think they look nice together. They both were pretty easy to use and this is two coats. I really like how my nails turned out and I have been wearing this since Saturday night. My thumbs match the ring fingers.

The sun was just to bright and all the sunny photos were very harsh

I decided to try and get some close ups to show off how much texture and dimension these polishes have. So this may get pic heavy.

There is a deep teal flash in Hidden Gem I just could not capture well.

Lastly I tried to take a picture that really showed off the texture. I am including it but not sure if it will help at all or not. :)

I really enjoy these and plan to get the rest of the collection. I am not sure if these are limited edition or not. I did not see it on the display. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed this post even there are so many photos. Happy Mani Monday and Happy polishing. xoxo Jaime
