Kleancolor "Blue Pearl" Review

Hello everyone! I'm back from Florida (well I have been for like 5 days) and while I was there we went to a lot of boutiques by the beach. If you know me at all then you know that if I see nail polish anywhere I can't resist buying at least one bottle. So I bought two. Both of them were the same brand, Kleancolor, and one of them is the color pictured above called "Blue Pearl" (#11).

This is a very pretty metallic blue color. The bottle is not deceiving as some polishes are; it's the exact same color as it looks in the bottle. I put on two coats because if you only do one it is quite transparent (which could be good for certain nail looks, but I was using it on it's own) and it's one of those polishes this separate when left on the nail. If you don't know what I mean it's like you paint it on your nail and then the polish moves apart in certain areas to leave your nail semi bare in certain spots (I can't explain this if you paint your nails a lot you know what I mean). The other thing about this polish is that it smells really weird. It doesn't smell like the normal nail polish formula and I don't know if that's just the brand or if it's from the heat it had to endure on the trip back. I have no clue.

Overall I think this polish is quite nice. With two coats it looks really pretty and it's all smooth and metallic looking. The polish does separate with only one coat, but a lot of polishes do that and I think it's mostly the metallic ones anyway, so that was expected. I can't tell you how long the polish lasts because I just put it on today, but if you are curious you could comment and remind me so I'll tell you. I just really like this color and I'm excited to use the other one I got as well (which is purple). Hope you enjoyed this post! Please let me know what you think of this polish, if you've used it, and I'll see you next time. BYYEEE

Miracle Gel “Greyfitti” Review

Hello everyone! Today I have a review for one of my newer polishes by Sally Hansen called “Greyfitti” (#260). So, keep reading to see what I think! The first thing I have to say is that this polish took 3 coats to get this opacity. That was a little bit annoying, but it didn’t take too long to dry and this color is very pretty. I guess if you needed a really transparent grey color for any type of nail design that this polish could be considered multifunctional. Also, this color reminds me of Candie’s “Concrete Jungle”, which I’ve done reviews on before, except it's a bit of a lighter shade of grey. I may like Candie’s a bit better… no offense to Sally Hansen lol. This polish is great and you know that I love Sally Hansen products, but I prefer the other one a bit more. Overall, I’d say that this polish deserves 4 out of 5 stars. I like the color and it dries quickly. So far it has lasted with no chips (even though I haven’t had it on for that long so I’...

DIY: Pumpkin Spiced Latte

Hey everyone! So, like the basic white girl I am, I love pumpkin spiced lattes. However, buying them every day can really drain your bank account (or in this case my allowance hehe). Today I have decided to teach you how to make an easy, quick pumpkin spiced latte. Naturally, I found this recipe from Pinterest, but I tweaked it a bit. Here’s what you’ll need: ¾ cup milk (I used 2% because that’s what was in the fridge) 2 tsp. white granulated sugar 2 tbsp. pumpkin puree ¼ tsp. vanilla extract A palm full of pumpkin spice ½ cup hot coffee Whip cream (for an extra touch, but it’s optional) Start off with combining your milk, sugar, pumpkin, vanilla, and pumpkin spice. You’ll want to blend this mixture until it is frothy. I used a hand mixer, but you can use a blender if you want. Next, you want to heat up the pumpkin mixture you just made. The original recipe said to heat it in a sauce pan, which I did the first time, but I was too lazy this time an...

L.A. Colors Color Last - First Impressions

Hey everybody! So I was walking around my local Walmart about 2 weeks ago and I came across a new display of nail polish for L.A. Colors Color Last nail polish. The polishes went for 2 dollars (I think anyway they were pretty cheap) and they claimed to last up to 10 days with the top coat. I decided I’d test that out because why not buy more nail polish that will inevitably dry out and be wasted, whatever. So that is what this blog post is for; I’ll be giving you my first impressions of both the actual polish and the top coat itself. The color I chose is called “Friendship” and it’s a neutral purple color with slight pink tones. It also has this weird glitter that you can only see when it’s wet or if you have eagle eyes. Anyway, it is a nice color (I used 2 coats) but I had a few problems with application. This particular polish did NOT go on smoothly at all and it looked really rough on its own. I contemplated testing the polish without the top coat on one hand for a ...
