Nail Bliss Bling Nail Art Stickers

I decided to try nail stickers again. This time I went with stickers by Nail Bliss a brand sold at Sally's Beauty Supply.
I was more pleased with the results than my last attempt with Dollar Tree Donna Michelle nail art stickers. these applied much more evenly and did not catch on hair.
Although I did find the sizing to be a little off, and none of the stickers completely covered the nail. So I painted stripes of black on the sides of each nail to mask my natural nail that showed through. I used Diamond Cosmetics nail striper in the color Black Glitter.
Over all I was impressed with this product it is long lasting although I did notice a little peeling on the third day of wear after washing the dishes. It also does not apply completely smooth like a nail lacquer would, but you do get the benefit of beautiful designs. I think I would give this product a 6 out of 10. I was slightly impressed but it doesn't stand out to me as a better alternative to nail polish.

Coming up next on my youtube channel...

My most warn lipsticks by brand and collection! Here's a preview.

Nyx Lipstick Review Fig

Image from luuux.com
I recently purchased this lipstick from ulta for a giveaway and I also purchased one for my self. I got the chance to try it out yesterday and I am very impressed.

The formula is very smooth and the color is very flattering for my skin tone. This hue in particular seems as if it would be universally flattering on all skin tones.

The wear for this lipstick is incredible, I wore it from 9 am to 8pm only need to touch up once. I am very impressed with the quality of nyx lipsticks and am eager to try different hues. I would rate this product a 10 out of 10 for complete satisfaction, quality and performance.

Independence Day Nail Art

These patriotic 4th of July nails were pretty challenging. But it is probably my most complimented nail art design yet.

Leopard Print Nails

These nails were surprisingly easy to do. I used all china glaze nail polish in making this nail art.

Color Club Orange Revenge

This is a vibrant neon orange that is opaque in two coats and my camera could not pick up the full intensity of the color in the sunlight. I love the color but unfortunately I found that it flakes off and peels the next day. It was a gift; however, I am hesitant to buy other color club nail polish because I am afraid they all may have the problem of peeling.

Vintage Nail Polish


I used 2 different vintage nail polishes for this look. They are so old I can't seem to find any information about either one. The top image is the nail polish I used as a base color, it is LeChat in the shade Kiss me not. The bottom image is a sally hansen glitter nail polish that does not have the name anywhere on the bottle. If you have any idea how old these polishes are please let me know. The formula of both has held up very well however the dry time is much longer than modern nail polishes

Essence Fruity Nail Polish Review


I purchased 3 out of the 5 colors in this collection. There is also a yellow and a peach one.  The colors from left to right are One kiwi a day, Very cherry, and Mashed berries. The color names are not listed anywhere on the bottles. My initial reaction was that the glitter is so fine and barely noticeable. But i thought this might make the polish easier to remove. The color i am wearing on my nails is Very cherry which i found to be very sheer. there are two coats of the polish on my nails but i would recommend using three coats. I didn't initially like the color because it was so sheer but it matches my skin tone nicely so the color grew on me. Overall i think this collection is okay but i am in no rush to go out and buy the other two colors. I give this product a 5 out of 10.

Vintage Nail Polish, Cover Girl Wetslicks Lilac Allure

My sister gave me this nail polish. I have tried to research it online but there is limited information. It seems to have been released in 2003. The formula has held up well for being nearly a decade old. It is extremely sheer and this is after applying three coats. I am not the biggest fan of sheer nail polish though. I am glad to have this in my collection and am excited to finally try it out.

Fred Meyer Haul

New makeup from Fred Meyer. There is a lot of essence but I did notice that Fred Meyer had added NYX and Milani to their cosmetic section so I picked up a few things. Previously these brands were not available in Grants Pass, Oregon. I will be filming a haul video next week to share these products on my YouTube channel.

Juli G Gelato in Venice Swatch

This nail polish lasted 5 days without chipping and only needed two coats
