Rue's Nails of the Week

As you have read in an earlier post I am going to be doing weekly nail looks instead of several though out the week. As of now, I am planning on posting them on Friday, but some might have to wait until Monday. Normally it won't be more than two or three looks, but this week, I went crazy.

This week I have four looks for you.

The first look is with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Blue Me Away. I used two coats, but I didn't really need them. I ended up smudging the polish a little, and I only wore it one day. From other colors from this brand I can tell you it's a great polish.


Swatch and Bottle.

Second Look:

This look is using two OPI polishes: Pink Friday and Metallic 4 Life. I did three coats of the Pink Friday and one coat of the Metallic 4 life on my accent nail. Pink Friday did not look great on me. It's more of a winter\spring color for me (when I am not as tan).

 Swatches and Bottles. (yes, these are the mini bottles of OPI)
 Third Look (and my favorite of the week):

This look I used Pure Ice Free Spirited with Sinful Colors Call you Later. I bought the Pure Ice back in February. When I bnought it, I actually put it back several times because of the color. Greens typically do not look good on me, but yet I keep buying them. The reason I ended up buying it is because I did not have a green like this in my collection, so I was hoping that it would look great on me, and sure enough  it did. This polish had probably become one of my favorites in my collection, and if I wasn't doing the no repeat challenge I would do another look with it. Maybe when I try water marbling (which I am planning on soon) I will use it in there. Or leave it on my toes.
I put two coats of it , and then a coat of the Sinful Colors on the accent nail. (you will see how this holds up while I work in a post coming soon. It actually held up pretty well compared to some polishes).

 Fourth Look:

This is my final look for the week. It is Orly's Swizzle Stick with Pure Ice Twinkle. I wish I  had not paired these two together, but I thought when I was picking out my polish that they would look good together since this summer I have done several looks with pinks and oranges\peaches. Swizzle Stick is a jelly polish and Pure Ice has shimmer in it. They don't match. I might like it more if I put glitter on top of Twinkle,  but I don't know. I really like both colors on their own, but not together. This is my first jelly polish. Even though after two coats I can still see my natural nail in it, I still like the color pay off and the way it went on. Orly is coming one of my favorite brands.
