Nail Looks of the Season---Summer 2012

Here are the many looks I have had this summer. Since I didn't have internet, I couldn't post. So here are the ones that I have had.

Look Number 1:

Here is look number one. I used two of the minis from the collection of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri. The bottle did not have the name on it, but after looking at swatches I believe the orange color is Mango Motion and the accent color is Speedy Sunburst. I switched the colors on the pics below. This is one of my favorite looks for the summer. I am going to try and find the full sizes of both of these polishes.

Two coats of each of the polishes with the top coat Seche Vite.

 Here is swatches and what it looks like in the bottles.

Look Number 2:

 This is Julep Maria with the accent nail of Sally Girl Rose Gold Glitter. This is a terrible picture and doesn't do the nail polish justice, and this is in natural light as well. Maria is not silver at all. It's almost a rose pink as you can probably tell in the picture of the bottle below. I still love Julep polish, but I am not a big fan of this color on my nails. Actually I am not a big fan of many metallic\ chrome polishes on my nails. Every time that I use a metallic polish like it never seems to come out smooth, and show all the imperfections on my nails. I am a type of person that when I paint my nails I think them to look and feel smooth. I think that is one reason I had not wore a lot of glitter polishes until I got my Seche Vite Top Coat.

Two coats of Julep and one coat of the Glitter polish with a top coat of Seche Vite.

The swatches you can see the color Maria a little better.

Look Number 3:

 This look I used Sally Hansen Caribbean Coral and then Sinful Colors Soulmate. This is another one of my favorite looks for the summer. I am really like Corals this summer. Since I am doing the no repeat challenge until I have used all the polishes in my collection I couldn't paint this look again, but I love it. I am defineitly goign to be adding some more Corals into my collection. Hopefully since we are coming out of summer that I can find some on sale.

I used two coats each of the Sally Hansen Caribbean Coral and Sinful Colors Soulmate.

Here are swatches and bottles of both.

Look Number 4:

 This is Sinful Colors Dream On. I really did not like this polish what so ever. It's not the color, but the polish its self. It's very sheer. After three coats I could still see my nail bed underneath. It's a BEAUTIFUL Color, but it's the formula of this polish. I am planning a Sinful Colors Review so I am not going to go into much detail. I only did three coats, and it peeled off real easily. I find if you do more than three coats of the polish and then a top coat it peels much quicker. I am goign to try it again with white underneath and maybe I will like it better. Also I do not like Matte polishes. This comes off as a Matte finish. I did not know that from the bottle.

As I said three coats and topped it with my Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Top Coat.

Here is a swatch of the color.

 Final Look:

This is Sinful Colors Boogie Nights. It's looks orange here, but it is more of a coral orange. When I bought it, I was kind of scared that it wouldn't look good on me. Because I keep buying orange polishes, and they keep disappointing me over and over again, but this on did not. This is definitely one of my favorite colors ( I need to do a Favorite Polishes of all time blog. I do that once the No Repeat Challenge is over. I will do an update on that on).

This took two coats with a top coat of Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Top Coat.

Swatches and Bottle

I am still have looks for summer, but these are the ones I had from the No Internet time, but that doesn't mean that I am done with summer looks. I am starting to transition to fall polishes--well actually, I am getting my fall polishes ready. I probably will not be starting fall polishes until after labor day, when for me, fall starts not September 21.

Personal Points

• I am working on several blogs for this week and next. Also I am working on a blog schedule. I am planning on writing on Monday through Friday. The weekends will be a break since I work all weekends 15 hour shifts. I might end up writing Sundays since I don't have to work on Mondays. Who knows if I really want to write something on Saturday then I might. I am planning on doing certain blogs on certain days. I am not sure yet about that. 
• With that said, some days I will write two blogs a day. I plan on writing 5 to 6 blogs a week. This week not counting since I am catching up. 
• Big announcement coming up about a series tomorrow.
