A England nail mail!

A England had a 30% off sale a few weeks ago, plus they included free international shipping, so yanno I jumped all over that deal! Well, I received my pretties in the mail today & let me just say, Oh My Lawd, they are beautiful!

This is (L-R) Princess Sabra (Tristam Eyes) & Order of the Garter (who just so happens to match my fish, Oscar).

DROOL! Princess Sabra is a beautiful dark gold holo. Order of the Garter is a gorgeous blue with shimmer in it. I really like A England nail polish because they dry very quickly and have a shiny finish. However, I always add a quick dry top coat with my manicures & I did as well with the mani I am about to share with you.

My dear friend (& fellow polish lover) Louise requested a picture of a Princess Sabra mani whenever I decided to do one. Just to show her I love her that much, I went ahead & did my manicure with the color (okay, and also to enable her to buy this polish).

Check out the holo amazingness of Princess Sabra! This is two coats with Seche Vite fast dry top coat.

A England nail polish retails for $10.50 at Ninja Polish.

Green with envy.

I am absolutely obsessed with Butter London nail polish. Their formula blows OPI & Zoya out of the water (though I still love both brands!) I was in the mood for an electric green, as someone described my mani (love it, thanks Michelle!) I put BL's Slapper on my nails & was in love at first sight. Please, look for yourself:

Freakin' gorgeous, am I right?! I love how opaque the color is with just one coat. ONE!

After sitting, staring at my nails for a solid ten minutes, I decided I wanted to do something to give it more pizazz, so I applied my Deborah Lippmann Mermaid's Dream on top of Slapper:

As I told some of my friends before, this color has me shaking & crying in all of it's beautiful glory. Can't get enough of this combo!

Tell me, what do you think of my mani?

Special Holiday offer from Zoya.

So the lovely folks over at Zoya are currently having a promotion to get us nail polish fiends ready for the Holidays! Have I told you lately how much I love Zoya? They are the most generous company ever. I am so proud to call myself a loyal Zoya customer- They ROCK!

In the Holiday 2011 PEOPLE magazine (image courtesy of www.Zoya.com) Zoya advertised their promo that is currently running until January 1, 2012. Wondering how to get some goodies? It's simple:

 I'd like to suggest you check out Noel. It is the most beautiful blue color. I asked Zoya to put Noel on their "wall of names" that they choose for future nail polishes. Luckily, they chose the name & they did a darn good job with the color choice. Why the name Noel? My moms cat passed away in May & her name was Noel. I loved that kitty cat. I tried, alongside my mom, to nurse her back to health, but she was far too sick to recover from acute liver failure. She was an amazing, beautiful, loving cat. I miss her very much & think of her often.

Let me know in the comments below what colors you ended up purchasing in this promo Zoya's got going on.

Ghostly Boo's.

Happy Halloween my lovely readers! Today's post involves Sally Hansen Salon Effects. It was very easy to apply the nail polish strips. There's no drying time to worry about (which is great for me because I hate waiting for it to dry!) As soon as you open the package and peel away the top layer of plastic that covers the nail, apply the nail polish strip (otherwise the strip will harden and won't adhere to your nail).

Here's how you apply Sally Hansen's Salon Effects:

1. Wipe your nails with a cotton ball full of nail polish remover. It's important to remove all oil from your nails prior to application of strips.

2. File your nails (a nail filer comes in the Salon Effects package)

3. Buff your nails (also included)

4. Put aside the nail polish strips that fit closest to your actual nail.

5.  Peel back the layer of plastic that covers the strip & apply the nail polish design right below your cuticle.

6. Gently push down any bubbles you may have when you applied the strip to your nail.

7. Fold the strip under the tip of your nail and buff out the excess nail polish strip.

8. You can add a topcoat if you'd like, however I didn't. I was afraid it might curl at the ends.

Here's what it ends up looking like:

Overall, I would definitely purchase the Salon Effects again. It is fairly expensive, but it lasts a long time- Up to 10 days. The only other issue I have is that it's difficult to remove with nail polish remover. I went through a bunch of cotton balls to remove the polish from my nails.

Have you ever used Sally Hansen's Salon Effects before? If so, which design did you use?

Have a very Happy Halloween! :)
