Easter Mani and NYC Quick Dry Top Coat Review

Happy Easter! Here is my Easter mani!

Base: On Ice (not sure what the name of the color is)
Sponged Pink: China Glaze - Sweet Hook
Sponged Mint: Wet n Wild megalast - I Need A Refresh-Mint
Top Coat: NYC - Quick Dry Top Coat

The NYC top coat dried very quickly and was very shiny! Maybe not as Seche Vite, but pretty close and $8 cheaper. 

Have you guys tried this top coat?

My First Butter London

I had a big polish swap with the lovely Abbie from AbbieNail. I received a box with each nail polish individually wrapped in pretty paper and bubble wrap. I was like a little kid at Christmas opening each one! She included two Butter Londons which she did not particularly like because I asked to try them.

Here is the first (look at Abbie's post about this polish here)

Butter London - Snog (2 coats)

Abbie's main complaint with this polish was that the formula was runny. I agree that the formula is a bit runny, and I did flood my cuticles, but it didn't bother me too much. I blame myself for the flooding because I'm never as careful as I should be and thin formula means you have to be extra careful! As for the color: I love it! So bright!

What do you guys think about Butter London?

Julep Review

Blogger is annoying because it just deleted all of my post. So here it is again. I received 4 Julep polishes this week. Two were from Adventures in Acetone's Blog Sale. Check it out because she still has polishes for sale and some are only $1. I bought Michelle and Diane.

I received the other 2 in my first Julep Maven box. This is $20 a month for 3 items. My third item was a hand soap that exfoliates your skin. I haven't tried it yet. I got Penelope and Portia. You can see Penelope in my previous post. It's a soft pink that, like most light colors, takes 3 streaky coats to get it opaque. Sigh.

Here is my new Julep mani:
Base: Julep - Michelle
Glitter: Julep - Portia
Top Coat: Seche Vite

Michelle is a deep blue. Formula is average.

Portia is a fabulous glitter with teal, blue, orange, and yellow specks. It had a fantastic application and was surprisingly easy to remove.

Top Coat of Essie - Matte About You

The problem with Julep: Each 8ml bottle is $14. There's no way in hell it's worth that much. The application is average (OPI is definitely better) and the colors aren't THAT special. It is 3 free, but so are a lot of cheaper polishes. Still, because Portia was so awesome (that might be worth $14) I'll give the Maven box one more month before I decide to cancel.

Excited about Wet n Wild Megalast

I tried Wet n Wild Megalast for the first time and I loved it. It covered in one coat! Let's take a look:

Base: Wet n Wild Megalast - I Need a Refresh-Mint (1 coat)
Glitter: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Disco Ball
Top Coat: Seche Vite

It has a little more green in it than the picture shows.

Go out and try this $2.00 nail polish!
