Sally Hansen Pacific Blue vs. NYC Ocean Blue... Dupes?

*Purchased by me*

You probably heard it already.  Sally Hansen changed everything but the name of a classic again: Pacific Blue.  If you are unfamiliar with this situation, I strongly suggest reading Gianna's original post and follow up over at Nouveau Cheap.  Well guys, I think I found a decent alternative.  Check it out:

My 'Murica Mani: Independence Day Jelly Sandwich

*Nothing to disclose*

Hello my pretties!  I hope everyone is having a phenomenal weekend.  I am getting ready to go spend some time with the family, which is always exciting but exhausting.  We are a very cheerful bunch so our family reunions usually turn out to be a bit on the loud side, a lot on the fun side, you know what I mean?  Anyways, I just wanted to share my awesome nails with you today before all that goes down.  I gotta say, I am very excited to actually go show them off! :)

Sally Hansen Sugar Coats (VERY pic heavy!)

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I have been visiting my local Big Lots pretty much weekly with the hopes of replacing my Sephora by OPI 18k gold topper, which has been popping up here and there for under two dollars.  Unfortunately I haven't had much luck with that shade, but in the process I have found a bunch of other super cool polishes, and today I am sharing some shades from Sally Hansen's Sugar Coat line.

Salon Perfect Boom Boom Boom over Varsity Blue: My 'Murica Mani!

*Purchased by me*

Hi guys, I get pretty giddy about Independence Day here in the USA or Fourth of July.  I love to watch all the fireworks, eat all the barbeques and drink all the beers like a boss!  All month leading up to it I am full of stars and stripes and "In you face!" red white and blue.  I am pretty sure that this is one of my top three holidays all year, so I have collected a few patriotic shades of nail polishes through the years.  I usually wait to find them in the clearance bins after the holiday, but certain shades must not wait because they will be gone for sure and so I purchase them on the spot.

One of these shades is Salon Perfect's Boom Boom Boom, and it's a top candidate for the actual holiday this year.  Have a look:

Sinful Colors Chill Out Collection Swatches (Picture Heavy!)

*Purchased by me*

 
Hello guys, I am back again with another of the summer collections Sinful Colors has released recently, today I have the Chill Out collection.  It has a mix of new and old shades, some of the new ones might not be that new for us here because I had shared them earlier but hey, they are back! :)

Sinful Colors Turn Up The Heat Collection Swatches (Picture Heavy!)

Hi there my friends, as you know I am a HUGE Sinful Colors fan so I am super excited to share all the new collections they have put out for two reasons:  1. I get new shades!  and 2. I get to pull out the old shades that are repromotes and reswatch, which has a hint of melancholy and overall feel-goodness.  It is hard to explain but I hope you can understand that feeling, like when you realize your high school clothes are suddenly in style in a retro type of fashion.

So here we have it, one of the new Sinful Colors Collections: Turn Up The Heat.

Orly Baked Collection: Ablaze & Hot Tropics

Bon Soir Mon Amies! I was at Sally's today and came across a new Orly collection, it's called Baked.  There were many fun, bright colors, and I am proud of myself for showing this level of restrain because I only picked up two shades.  There is a third one I will probably go back and pick up during the week but I had trouble finding a fourth, so only two came home with me today.  Did I mention they are on sale?  Because they are!  This month, Sally's has their entire Orly selection Buy One, Get One Free and this includes their new shades.  So that is the reason I couldn't just go home with three shades!!  I also picked up a couple from their clearance department, which were BOGO free as well.  So, here are today's picks from the Orly Baked Collection: Ablaze and Hot Tropics.
