Revlon's Wintermint

Hello friends!  I recently found and purchased Wintermint from the new Revlon Parfumerie collection.  The bottles for this collection are so adorable, just take a look!


Now I can not speak for the whole line but I LOVE Wintermint.  It goes on very smoothly and really does have a nice minty scent!  I used a topcoat and once it dried you could still smell the minty freshness just fine.  I love everything about this polish from the scent to the beautiful color.


I am looking forward to trying more from this line!  Thanks for reading and happy polishing!! xoxo Jaime

Mani Monday's Halloween


Happy Mani Monday!  This weeks theme is Halloween.  I had a rough weekend but still wanted to participate in Mani Monday.  I really did not feel inspired at all, but had seen many little mummy nails going around, so I decided to give it a try.  I think these are cute even though there was some smearing.  I think with a little practice I could really improve my little guys and hope to try doing girl mummies before Halloween is over.



 I used Sinful colors Black on Black for the thick eye area and just used a smaller brush for the other black lines.  The white base is from Broadway nails, it is  called Snow White.  Don't forget to check out the other ladies and their Halloween inspired nails.  There are links to their blogs on my homepage and you could always stop by the facebook page  Mani Monday's.  Thanks for reading, Happy Halloween and happy polishing.

Two looks from the Sinful Colors Decorate Decadently Collection

I am a Sinful Colors Junkie!  I love all Sinful Colors collections and have never gotten a polish and thought this is awful or  what was I thinking by buying this one.  I think that is why they are my favorite.  They never fail me and they are so budget friendly as well!  I have been stalking Walgreen's just waiting to spot the new holiday collection which is Decorate Decadently.  I have had  no luck but my husband decided he would just stop in the Walgreen's by his work and just see and HE found them!  He was not sure what I wanted from the collection but took a great guess and brought home 16 shades for me.  It is needless to say that I will end up with all of the new shades in this collection and 2 of the re-promotes that I had missed out on before.

So I decided to spend the morning playing around with a few of my new friends. :)  First up we have Blue Steel and Top me Off.





Blue Steel is a metallic, which I have grown to love!  It is more of a foiled look and was opaque in one coat but I always do two.  I love a blue manicure and I love shiny glittery goodness so this is perfect and I am more than happy to have this in my collection!  On my ring finger I added an accent of Top me Off.  This is a topper  but it is pretty dense and with a few coats it may even become opaque as well but in my opinion (for whatever its worth) it would be great to go over any color you chose!  It is full of holographic micro glitters.

The next combination of polishes I decided to try are Triple Platinum and Full Spectrum.  These are both stunners in my eyes and I love them both equally!!





Triple Platinum Is another metallic polish with a more foiled finish.  It goes on very nice and smooth.  It is a tad sheerer than Blue Steel but it completely opaque in two coats.  It has a lovely almost lilac tone to it.  Full Spectrum is a beautiful glitter topper and my description will not do it justice at all.  It is full of round light pink or soft lilac glitters and holographic micro glitters.  It is so shiny and sparkly the glitter lover in me can hardly stand it!!!  I hope you have enjoyed a look at these polishes.  I really think it is a beautiful collection and will make for some gorgeous holiday manicures.  I will be doing more looks with this collection and will try to blog them all.  I am still getting into the groove of blogging every mani.  They all are always on my Instagram account.  Happy painting!!  xoxo Jaime

Rich in Heart

Happy Wednesday!  Today I want to show you a polish by Sinful Colors that I really have come to enjoy so far this Fall.  This is Rich in Heart.  Originally I purchased this polish just for the name alone.  I am a person who thinks you have to be kind in this world and use your heart in everything you do, so the name just made me smile.  Indoors this polish just looks like a reddish brown.  A nice color...sure.  I love browns for Fall.  Outside in the sun another side springs to life in Rich in Heart.  A beautiful side in my humble opinion.  A deep red/maroon with shimmery goodness reveals itself.

I think this is a beautiful polish and at the always nice Sinful Colors price why not!!  I am happy that I picked this one up.  I have worn it 2 times this Fall already!  The name makes me smile and the beauty in the sun was a very nice surprise!  Happy painting!!
