Orbit Review

Good morning! I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend!! Today I have a polish review to share. So let's jump right in!

Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gelous
2 pretty thick coats of Revlon purple creme color of this duo stick thing
2 pretty thick coats of the flakies
1 coat Seche Vite

Ok...I found this at CVS, and once I saw the flakies, I was like...omg, I have to have this. But now I'm regretting the purchase.

Here's why:
The creme polish is goopy, patchy, and awful to work with. The flakies ARE gorgeous, but I don't feel like they make up for how TERRIBLE the formula is. I felt like I had a pound of polish on my nails after I was done. I had to put on a ton of polish to make this look decent. And I still don't think it looks that great. I took it off right after taking photos.

Revlon....you really disappointed me. Big time. I even bought another one of these stinkin things. I'm hoping the black/grey one is better than this bottle of crap. Maybe I will try to thin out the polish....but I'm afraid this might be a lost cause. :(

Have you tried these flakie duo sticks by Revlon? What are your thoughts?

Until next time....

Gooooood morning!!! I just want to let you all know that my blog will always be behind from my Instagram. It is tough for me to get onto the computer sometimes. (My eldest daughter is a Minecraft addict. No joke.) I literally write a weeks worth of posts in a night so I don't miss on posts, and don't spend every day on the computer. (Plus with the billions of doctor appointments for my youngest, I really don't have time to blog during the week....but this blog is everything to me, so I MUST keep writing!)

If you have an Instagram, come follow me!! @ManicureMommy   :D

On to the manicure! A while ago I purchased Revlon's Coastal Surf and I have been dying to do something with it!!

Here's what I did:
1 coat Nail Magic
1 coat Gealous
2 coats Revlon Coastal Surf
I stamped with Konad Special White polish and plate BM-322.
Used Julep Alicia for the orangy dots.
1 coat Seche Vite

How crazy fun are these nails? They're so bright. So...summer! :) I absolutely love this blue nail polish. It is bright, and cheery, and a perfect shade. The application was pretty good. Revlon seems to be a bit thin for me, which causes some bald spots...but the second coat covered any flaws.

I really love how this stamp manicure ended up! I am totally in love with Julep's Alicia, so I try to use it as much as I can....and I think it is a perfect contrast color for this blue! I also used more Coastal Surf to dot on top of Alicia.

I really love how summery this manicure is. Right now I have a love/hate relationship with summer ending. I love to wear bright polish (and I will, even in winter!) and shorts and tanks...but my hubs comes back home in the fall...so I am ready for summer to end. Lol. What a dilemma!


What do you all think of this manicure??

Until next time....

Hello all! I am happy to announce we have one more follower! WELCOME Cuti-clue-les! You can find her blog HERE! :D

I have a pretty rad manicure to show you all today! I have been dying to use my Revlon's Whimsical polish, so I did just that today.

I will say, next time I use it, I will put a blue base polish on. Using a pinky one was not the best idea.

Here is my process:
1 coat Sally Hansen Base Coat
1 coat Orly's Base Coat
2 coats OPI's Sweet Heart
3 coats Revlon's Whimsical
1  coat Seche Vite Top Coat.


Here's how it turned out:

My OPI Sweet Heart is literally about a billion years old. It is streaky, thin, and I need to do something about it. I love this color, and it is GREAT for french manicures...but with the consistency it is now...I cannot wear it alone.

 I bought this polish when I was in cosmetology school....about 7 years ago. Lol

Because of the several coats I did....this manicure is a bit thick for my taste. I might re do it right after I post this and try a bright blue under the polish.

I am so in love with this milky color. Yum yum yum.

What do you all think of this polish? Any base colors you can suggest?

Until next time...
