Sinful Nail Polish

I like to browse the make-up aisle and see what I can find. I was looking for a new nail polish and found this Sinful Colors Professional nail polish in Genteel ($1.99, Walgreens). I used this medium soft pink shade for pedicure last week.

I don't always like to wear dark shades for fall and I will sometimes just continue to wear my summer shade such as pink for fall.

My Nail Polish for the Summer

I just love the essie nail polishes, like so many because they have a lot of different and unique colors. Plus, they're not that expensive. I absolutely adore the first color (California Coral, $8.00) especially after nice pedicure. I mostly just wear it on toes.

I have always been a fan of pink nail polish. I mostly wear pink or a neutral shades on my fingers. Right now I'm wearing this pink shade (Whisper, $8.00) on both my fingers and toes.

I always try to keep my nails looking neat because one of my pet peeves is to see chipped nail polish especially at work.

Instant Manicure in a Bottle

I don't always have time to give myself a manicure or to get one. However, while walking through the make-up aisle in Walgreen I lucked apon Sally Hansen Natural Shine Instant Nail Finish ($5.99, drugstores).

It comes in two tints: clear and pink. I bought both to try at home. It's easy to use and dries quickly with a nice shine to it.

It's small which means you can tote it around in your bag.

This will not take the place of a manicure (at least for me), but it's great for when you want your nails to look great but don't have time for that full on manicure.

Spring Cleaning my nail polish, out with the old....

Sunday night I tossed six almost empty bottles of nail polish. I wanted to try a new nude color, I bought Cover Girl Queen collection 3-in-1 nail color in Premier Pink ($2.79, drugstore).

It's a very soft pink almost light beige. I also bought another nail polish, L'Oreal Pro Manicure Nail Polish in Trust Fund Baby ($4.99, drugstores).

I haven't tried either one yet maybe this weekend I will try the Cover Girl, I'm going to the ballet.

Sephora Nail Polish

Over the weekend I decided to clean out my nail polish collection and realized that I was out of one of my favorite colors.

It's # 02 of the Sephora nail polish ($4.00, Sephora). It's a pretty pinkish/red color. So while out I decided to go buy a new bottle and I also picked up another color #55 (turquoise or light blue, which will look great for summer).

Movies and beauty

Over the weekend, I invited some friends over for a movie day. We each selected a movie to watch. These are the movies we watched (in no certain order):

1. Breakfast at Tiffany's

2. Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest

3. How to Lose a Guy in 10 days

4. The Hills have Eyes.

We figured why not make ourselves look pretty while watching movies. I decided to give myself a manicure and the color that I've been wearing lately is the OPI Classic Shades Nail Lacquer in Tutti Frutti Tonga ($7.50, drugstore.com). It's a soft pretty pink.

But no matter what color or nail polish brand I use I always put use Sally Hansen No Chip - Acrylic Top Coat ($3.99, drugstores). It makes it seem like I have professional manicure when I just sat at home and did them myself.

Another friend polished her nails too while the other two put on face mask. We just sat around watching movies, laughing and relaxing.

Not just for Halloween

Just in time for Halloween, I decided to try the trendy black nail look. I bought CoverGirl Midnight Magic nail polish ($3.39, drugstores) and gave myself a home manicure.

I applied two coats to get a nice even color.

To look more sophisticated, opt for shorter nails. Make sure to use a base and a top coat to protect your nails.
