I love that neon colors are everywhere these days so I thought I would bring some neon into my life. I uses white polish under the neon so the colors would pop and be more opaque. I used Pop Beauty and China Glaze nail polishes. I love the Pop Beauty(on my middle and ring finger). Its pretty opaque in just one coat. I need to search online for more neon colors. Well talk to ya later and I know it's been awhile but make sure you are loving yourself!!!<br />

Just a quick little post and review of my first a england polish. I thought I had already posted this but I guess not. It is called Princess Sabra. Now I thought I had found my true love in a linear holo polish when I first tried HITS but let me be clear this one here is aahmazing. It goes on smooth no streaking. The odor is minimal and its damn near opaque in just one coat. HITS seems to need at least three. I wish I had bought more of this because although its more expensive than HITS (12.00 on llarowe.com) Its a much better formula and lasts a long time without tip wear or chipping. Anyway enjoy the pics and keep on Loving Yourselves!!! </div>

Yes that's right Sexy underarms. It may sound strange but think about how many times you have seen someone raise their arms to reveal dark bumpy armpits. It is not a good look so I thought a few tips might help some of you get ready for the warmer weather fashions. The pic below is reported to be none other than Beyonce on the red carpet back in 2009. Yuck. I guess anyone can fall victim to ugly armpits. This is an emergency for some of you out there so lets get to it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
1) Do Not Shave-Shaving can cause skin discoloration, razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Instead opt for waxing. It lasts longer than shaving or using depilatories and doesn't cause these problems. If you choose to have them done professionally make sure the person doing it tests the hot wax and or lets it cool a little before applying to your underarms. This skin is super sensitive and a burn here is miserable. Take it from someone who has had one. A good cheap alternative is buying waxing strips and doing them yourself. Especially if you don't have the time to go have it done by a professional. Veet makes ready to use wax strips for legs and body that work very well. The trip to at home waxing is getting the skin taut. I have found that by raising my arm and placing it behind my head I get the best results. Also make sure you warm the strips between your hands for the most effective use.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
2) Use a facial cleanser designed to even out skin tone- This will help with any discoloration you may already have and can also help heal any little pimples or razor bumps. Because facial cleansers tend to be more gentle than shower gels I feel that these are better for areas with sensitive skin. Not gonna lie I use the same cleanser for my va-jay-jay as I use under my arms. Hope that's not TMI. Ha ha! I like Neutrogena Visibly Even for this because its gentle and contains soy which helps also with slowing hair growth.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
3) Try a hair growth retardant- There are lots of these products out there Aveeno makes one that is called Positively Smooth and you can find it pretty readily at most Target and Walmart stores. My personal favorite is GiGi Keep It Bare. It comes in a formula for the face and the body and is found at Sally Beauty Supply. The great thing about this product is that its all natural and not only helps with the hair regrowth but moisturizes and exfoliates which brings me to tip number four.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My holy grail because it slows hair growth, moisturizes and exfoliates!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
4) Exfoliate- A gentle sugar scrub or facial scrub work wonders under your arms to clarify and brighten the skin. A body brush would also do the trick. Just don't scrub too hard or exfoliate the same day as waxing because this can cause irritation. You already know what product I prefer to get this job done. <br />
<br />
5) Moisturize- Keep your skin soft with a gentle moisturizer. One that is light and fragrance free free is best to avoid irritation. Anything too thick or greasy can clog your pores and increase your sweat production and no one wants that. Again go back to tip three to see the moisturizer I choose for my underarms. Another good option is a baby lotion. If it is gentle enough for a baby it should be no problem for your pits. Ha ha!<br />
<br />
6) Deodorize wisely- Choose a deodorant that does not irritate your skin and that doesn't give you those awful looking white balls in the crease of your underarm. A colorless version is best for the summer. Dove has come out with Cleartone deodorant that is supposed to help with skin discoloration in as little as two weeks. I myself haven't tested this out long enough to tell you whether it works or not but it sounds like its worth a try. I do like the Secret Soothing Effects deodorant as it helps with irritation caused by various hair removal methods.<br />
<br />
Well there you have it! I hope this helps you ladies looking to show off your sexy arms this summer. I hope to see you back here next week.

It has been a busy seven days. My son was home from college for spring break. We spent a whole day doing his hair. He is starting dreadlocks and I had to wash and retwist his hair. That was exhausting. I was so happy to spend the week with him. He brought one of his roommates home with him too. I cooked several large dinners, we played video games and talked sports. Although I am so proud of my son it still makes me cry every time he goes back to college. I have mastered holding it in till after he is gone :). I am still working on shopping for my giveaway goodies. I have a few things but I want this first giveaway to be a good one so I'm going to try to gather up some fabulous hard to find prizes.<br />
<br />
Anyway today's post is a summary of the ten things I can't live without when it comes to my fingernails. I have posted pics of the specific items I use. So let's get into it. Here is a group shot of my little nail buddies.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8gkThwgDNY1dMMeNufzO3eRWeX_3Pobkb_Ls2IIvtk3UQs-MSYlF0u2EfDN_q7HORtEDUomLGlx_yKEol4Vmh1gOMlMGqgFskJryG9o6gOKg4c0QWQ0qsnCjwYUNIkIEfXcq1m7_Kc8/s1600/100_0764.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="572" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8gkThwgDNY1dMMeNufzO3eRWeX_3Pobkb_Ls2IIvtk3UQs-MSYlF0u2EfDN_q7HORtEDUomLGlx_yKEol4Vmh1gOMlMGqgFskJryG9o6gOKg4c0QWQ0qsnCjwYUNIkIEfXcq1m7_Kc8/s640/100_0764.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll start from the beginning and list the everything in the order I use them. Now don't get it twisted I don't use all this stuff every time I do my nails but I do use them at least once a week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. Sugar Scrub- I got mine from a friend for Christmas. It is made by a local spa and the scent is heavenly. Its great for exfoliating and softening up my hands. There is another I want to try that I will mention later.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. Cuticle remover- this one is from Avon. Nail Experts Instant Gel Cuticle Remover. Its the only one I have tried so I don't know if there are others out there that work better but I am happy with this one. I love that the lid is a cuticle pusher. I just follow the directions on the tube and it works wonders. My husband loves pedicures and this product breaks down his thick overgrown man toe cuticles in no time flat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. Wooden Cuticle Pusher- I buy orange sticks in multipacks at Sally's or Target. They are great for other things besides pushing cuticles and cleaning under nails. I own a "dotting tool" but I find that nothing gives me symmetrical, identical little dots like the pointy end of my orange stick. They are also great for cleaning up stray polish that is still wet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
4. Nail File- I don't use nail clippers unless I have a broken or snagged nail to trim. I shorten and shape my nails with a nail file. I prefer the medium/fine grit. The course ones seem to make my nails split. I save these for my toes since toenails by nature are thicker than finger nails. Remember to always file your nails in one direction. Now sawing back and forth that causes your nails to split.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
5. Four Way Buffer Block- nothing fancy really. Just a four sided nail buffer to remove ridges from the surface of my nails and create a smooth nail. Using this helps keep my nails from yellowing and it seems to make my manicures last longer.</div>

6. L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream- this is my holy grail hand cream!!! I ran out and decided that I was going to try some others because this one in the full size tube is $28. I tried Eucerin, Nivea, Bath and Body Works(shea cashmere & silk) and Ahava hand creams. None of these were terrible but I couldn't get the same results my L'Occitane gave me. It makes my hands super soft, its not sticky or greasy, it has a nice soft scent, absorbs quickly, lasts through two to three hand washings, and it kept my skin around my nails in the best shape it has ever been in. I realize it is expensive for the full size tube 150ml/5.2 oz but it only takes a pea size amount to moisturize my hands and I've got some pretty meaty hands. My first tube lasted me 6 months and 3 of those were winter months. The way I figure that breaks down to $4.66 a month which is cheaper than every one of those other hand creams I tried. It contains 20% Shea Butter and in my opinion its the best thing on the market for your hands. L'Occitane makes a shea butter body scrub I'm going to try when I run out of my sugar scrub. Wow I guess that turned into a rant didn't it? Ha!</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This is the 1 oz mini tube sells for $10. Yes its cheaper but five times the product for only $28 seems like a much better deal to me. I would suggest the mini though if you just want to try it out without the investment.</td></tr>

7. 100% Acetone nail polish remover- besides the obvious use for removing even the most stubborn glitter nail polish I use a little on a cotton swab to remove any moisturizer from my nails before I polish them. My sister who is a nail tech tells me that this makes your polish adhere to the nail better like a prime.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
8. Base Coat- now this may be where I lose some of you because for a lot of you OPI Nail Envy is your "be all end all" base coat. I own some but I only use it when I'm not going to apply polish on top of it. It seems to make my nail polish peel off very quickly and I don't like that at all! Instead I use OPI Natural Nail Base Coat. It provides a smooth even canvas for my little works of nail art and it dries quickly. Something in the formula helps prevents polish from chipping and peeling.</div>

9. topcoat- Seche Vite. Yes I know it can get thick after awhile(making sure you keep it tightly closed helps with this). Yes I know some complain that it has an extremely strong smell. Yes it costs up to $10 depending on where you buy it. I know all these things but I have tried lots of quick drying top coats and I only like two. This and Out The Door. They both give you a quick drying shiny manicure. OTD has version called northern lights that has subtle silver holographic glitter in it that makes your cream and jelly laquers really pop. I am currently out of OTD which is why its not pictured here. OTD does not smell as strong or thicken up like SV but its not as readily available as SV. I have only found OTD at Sally's.</div>

10. One inch flat artist's brush- I bought mine at Michael's in an eight piece set for around $5. I use this with my polish remover to clean up wayward polish around my nails. Its also great for getting those color runs out from under your nails when you remove a highly pigmented nail polish. Make sure the brush is stiff enough to do the job. If its too soft it won't "scour" well enough to remove polish and it will fold over and ruin your fresh mani as you run it around your cuticle.</div>

This is my first essence polish. The only place I have seen any essence products is Ulta and their selection is very limited. The day saw this one though I knew I had to have it. I love a good purple polish. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this little gem. The brush although not very long and a little narrow it did the job wonderfully. This polish was opaque in two coats and dried quickly and evenly. No streaks!!! I would describe the formula itself as a jelly like cream which is my favorite. I have to say the nest time I see essence polish I will be buying it. I am always so excited when I find a polish brand that is under $3 that performs like a $10 polish.</div>

I spent time outside daydreaming in the sun and it was lovely. That inspired me to put on a spring pastel mani. I used the Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect polish in Sorbet. The color is a pale peach sheer jelly. It took three coats to get an opaque look without streaks. Its a very pretty color that will be complimentary to most complexion. Especially those that are darker or have warm undertones.<br />

After about an hour of glancing at this polish I decided it wasn't fun enough so I added a l'il somethin somethin. I used SHXW Lacey Lilac to add some little lavender roses and SHID in Mint Sprint for leaves. I think it came out pretty cute. Definitely a girly look but I like it. I know my cuticles look a mess. I had run out of my L'Occitain hand cream and went to get a manicure that damaged the skin around my nails. I have replaced my hand cream and am working on getting my hands back in good shape.</div>

First off let me say I did not fail to make my posts seven days in a row intentionally. We had some craziness at our hotel which resulted in no internet service. We ended up checking out and moving to another hotel 6 minutes away. Sounds simple enough but it took us an hour to find it. That set us back an hour for our dinner plans. By the time we got to the restaurant it was extremely packed and there was a 30 minute wait. Anyway suffice to say I wasn't able to post on Saturday. I feel like my husband and I live in our own sitcom with crazy things happening to us but it always ends with us laughing. We have a good time together no matter what. We are home now so I will make up for it by posting twice.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On our way out of town I stopped at Sally's and found China Glaze's Magnetix nail polish and I was overjoyed. I had previously seen magnetic nail polish at Ulta but it was $15 so I passed on it. Unlike some of the other magnetic polishes China Glaze does not put the magnets in the lids the magnet is a separate item. Its a plastic red "U" with three different magnets on it and little crescents on the underside that are supposed to keep the magnet the proper distance from your nail. Wrong!!!</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Either the magnet touched the polish and smudged it or it was too far away from the nail to effectively create the pattern in the polish. I was at the point where I nearly threw it all in the garbage when my husband said he thought it was cool. So I removed all the polish and tried it a second time. It did come out better the second time but not without fault. Below are the pics from that attempt. I will give it another try but probably not too soon. I love the way it looks its just a little time consuming and infuriating. Anyway I had a wonderful weekend and I hope you did too. Take some time today and love yourself and get ready for Monday. Holla!</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: left;">Today's post is a review of Zoya's Phoebe. Its a bright blue that reminds me of the water at the beach in Cancun. It is one of their Matte Velvet laquers. I really liked the matte polish I got from ManGlaze and since it was on clearance for $3.99 I figured it was worth a try. Thank goodness because I was not happy with it. The first thing I noticed was that even though I waited until the first coat was completely dry before I applied the second one it still pulled the first coat off in streaks. Not to mention the first coat was so sheer and streaky wearing just one coat was not an option. After 2 coats the color was great but the finish was bumpy. The little hills on it bothered me so much I put on 2 coats of Seche Vite. The color was fabulous. Unfortunately the polish was chipped the next day. I would characterize this as a total disappointment.</span></div>

I also bought some nail polishes to try out Sally Hansen Smooth Perfect in Sorbet and OPI Kiss Me On My Tulips(This seems dirty to me he, he). Picked up a few Essie colors from the Navigate Her collection as well. I got Go Overboard; which looks identical to Nicole's Khloe Had a Lam-Lam but I will get back to you on that and Playdate. I am currently in a "I'm letting my hair grow out" stage so when I saw these cute short, wide bobby pins by Karina I snagged them.</div>

By the way I am very proud of myself it is day 5 of my personal challenge to post everyday for seven days. I already have the pictures for tomorrow's post ready. Its a nail look that requires the use of physics hint, hint. Anyway folks I hope you enjoyed this post and decide to follow my blog. I am currently holed up with my hubby in a hotel room on our 10th anniversary but I am blogging anyway because I love YOU so you better Love Yourself too!</div>

Yes its another blue mani. I know, I need a 12 step program for all my blue nail addiction. I wanted something matte-tastic. ManGlaze Matte is Murder and I Lily Love You by OPI. On top is Matastrophe. Nothing fancy really just something fun. I am extremely sleepy so is probably why its not as precise as I would like. I probably should have used one of my favorite sayings for this one. "Good idea, bad execution." I am going to take a little nap now. Chin up tomorrow is Friday! I am looking forward to the weekend and hearing that you Love Yourself! Enjoy the pics.</div>

I did pink with black & gold stripes. The pink is SHXW in Pink Satin, Matte is Murder by ManGlaze for the black and SHXW in Golden-I. Using tape would have helped but I don't have the patience to cut tape and when I do I always seem to jack it up when I peel it off. Simply to do just laid down the base color did a wide swipe of black and used a stripper brush to put the gold stripe down the center. Well I am off to pack for my 10 year anniversary with my sexy hubby. I intend to keep up the posting over the weekend(if he lets me up for air ;) so talk to ya soon. Please follow me if you like what I'm doing and let me know what looks you would like to see. I have a few more nail looks posted on my Pinterest board also called Polished Poison.

Teal Tuesday: Cutie Pie</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Whats up folks?!?! I have decided that since yesterday was Blue Monday I will call today's post Teal Tuesday. I am still working on getting all my LLarowe nail mail tested out so today's feature will be another one from the HITS Mari Moon Modern Collection. Its called Cutie Pie and it is delicious. You see originally I purchased the Modern Collection because the swatches I had seen online of Dreamer had me drooling. Well let me tell you that I had no idea that Cutie Pie would outshine Dreamer but in my humble opinion it does. Its a "triochrome" yes that's right three color shifts. The color goes from a emerald green, to a blue teal and finally to purple and there are even subtle shifts between those colors. Take a look at the pics and grab a napkin for your drool. ;)</div>

My Review:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<li style="text-align: left;">Price: $8 single or you can pay $28 for the Modern Collection which contains Dreamer, Cutie Pie, Cool & Trendy</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Size: 6ml</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Brush: flat and cut straight across</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Application: 1 coat is a sheer wash of watery color, 2nd coats gives decent coverage and the 3rd coat really gives it desired opacity combined with intense color payoff. It has a tendency to "drag" the previous coat off in streaks when applying 2nd and 3rd coats so I would suggest waiting a few (3-4) minutes between thin coats to give it some time to dry. </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Formula: Its definitely a shimmer but to me it feels like tiny color shifting dots of pigment suspended in a lavender jelly.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Wear: Day 2 and I have absolutely no tip wear. I'm about to apply something else so I can only say that it would <i>probably</i> last about 4 days and still look great the way Dreamer did.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Pros: Eye catching amazing color. It just makes you smile every time you catch a glimpse in different light and discover a new color.</li>
Cons: The time it takes to apply in order to avoid the "drag streaks" and the fact it's only available online. Speciallita REALLY needs to find a retailer like Ulta, Walgreens or Sally's to carry their products.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One thing I did notice when I used my Julep Fast Dry Top Coat it started to bubble. I tapped my fingernails several times very hard on my coffee table while the top coat was still wet and that seemed to get rid of the bubbles. BTW I hate the Julep top coat because it smells like eau le skunk. Its also a little tacky to the touch after it dries. I was trying it out on this mani because I knew I wouldn't be wearing it for long but I ended up topping this mani with Out the Door topcoat. Well it's raining outside and the mailman just brought my latest Netflix selections so I'm about to pop in a movie and start on my polish change. Until we talk again please do me a big favor and Love Yourself!</div>

Its Monday and I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. I have seen other nail girls and their Pink Wednesdays and I thought to myself; "Self, why not do Blue Mondays since you love blue polishes so much?" Today is the first of many. The color is Apolo by HITS from the No Olimpo Collection I ordered it from Llarowe.</div>

<ul>
<li>Price: $10 </li>
<li>Size: 6ml</li>
<li>Brush: its flat & blunt cut straight across</li>
<li>Application: Applies easily and surprisingly smooth </li>
<li>Formula: This is a blue jelly with a drop of green mixed in that envelopes a silver holographic linear glitter</li>
<li>Coats: 1- on the sheer side but wearable 2- opaque and creates a pretty shade of blue 3- three coats really deepens the color and makes the linear hologlitter pop!</li>
<li>Wear: With a topcoat of Gelous and OTD on top my 3 coats went three days without tip wear.</li>
<li>Pros: The color is intense and bright at the same time. Each coat builds up the holo flash. </li>
<li>Cons: You can purchase this polish for $8.00 on the Speciallita.com but because the company is based in Brazil the website is in Portugese and I was unable to get the purchase to go through. This was especially disappointing when I saw all the products and unconventional colors they make.</li>

One of which is a beautiful purple red-orange duo chrome named Dreamer. It's very sheer and took three coats to achieve the desired opacity. It's shimmers and delights. It's kind of hard to capture the color change on camera but I tried. I still haven't mastered the photography angles. By the way these were roses I got at work today from my hubby for our anniversary.<br />

What's going on polishaholics? I have a super shimmery foilish type mani today. I used OPI Road House Blues as a base. I LOVE this color but two coats make it so dark the color becomes an undetectable black so I only use one coat (over a base coat of course) which doesn't usually last longer than a day or two.<br />

I placed my order on Amazon on Friday and got 10% off with the code <span style="color: red;">OCCUPYME</span>. The three bottles I ordered were Fuggen Ugly(matte grey), Matte is Murder(matte black) and MatteAstrophe(matte clear top coat). I feel like its Christmas I'm so giddy with excitement. So I must get to polishing right away.(polishing and pics done yesterday) I'm going to try both colors at the same time. Matte is Murder on the left hand and Fuggen Ugly on the right.<br />
<br />
First let's see Matte Is Murder:<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">In the sunlight. This was just one coat. I was impressed by how opaque it was in one coat. The color is a lot more charcoal grey than black with a silver shimmer that when dry disappears into the velvety finish. It applied much less streaky than other mattes I have tried. It doesn't self level so I found slow deliberate strokes to evenly distribute the color worked best for me.</td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was one coat of FU in the sunlight. There is lots of shimmer in this polish in subtle shades of green and silver in a steel gray base. One coat is not as opaque as MIM. Although it did apply just as well as MIM using the same slow and easy strokes. I love how the shimmer gives the matte such a pretty sheen. </td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Two coats. On my ring finger Gelous top coat and on my index finger Essie Shine of the Times and a coat of MatteAstrophe on top. The SOTT does something quite odd. It seemed to split; for lack of a better word, the matteness(is that even a word) with a single line almost like a crack that was shiny. Too bad because I liked the look of this uniform orange-green flaky over the grey.</td></tr>

I am going to keep wearing this polish till it needs removed to test out the wear. Its supposed to be tough enough for a man so we will see. I will post and update to let you know how long it lasts.<br />
<div>
All in all I am pleased with my purchase and I'm going back for more. I didn't want to invest too much money initially because this was a new untested brand for me. There were lots of pretty colors including a fuchsia, a red and a lovely burple named "Cabron". I love these crazy names! I am stoked about the matte top coat MatteAstrophe because of my neverending search for Matte About You. Okay dolls I am outta here have a great week and do me a favor Love Yourself!<span style="font-size: 13px; text-align: center;"> </span></div>

<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;">So I saw the ad for the new Spring 2012 Butter London colors in a magazine a month or so ago. In the add there was a beautiful purple/green glittering duochrome in the center. The shade is called Knackered and I had to have it. I had to go to every Ulta store in town to track it down and finally got it tonight. In real life the color wasn't so gorge. I expected to hear an angel's aria and see beams of light shining all around it. The color appears to be a seafoam green with silvery lilac duochrome and scattered holo microglitter. It is still very pretty but just now what I hoped for. It took three coats to get total opacity. The formula was just the right consistency. Not too thick not too runny. The color doesn't transfer exactly from bottle to nail but its pretty close.</span>

Although I do prefer a duochrome that shifts on the nail side to side with the curve of the nail to this tilt up down variety I do like the color. Its quite regal feeling.
I have been taking all my pics with my iPhone but I do own a real camera so hopefully my pics will be better with it. Please comment and tell me what you think of my little blog. I'm not super sensitive but helpful is better that hateful when it comes to critiques. Peace out people and do't forget to Love Yourself!!!<span id="goog_1564584567"></span><span id="goog_1564584568"></span><br />

Ahoy by China Glaze applied like a dream. Its a beautiful cherry pink wth red shimmer. This is three coats with a SV topcoat. On my ring finger is After Hours by Revlon. This color was a beautiful deep sea blue in one coat but was a little streaky. With the second coat the color becomes almost black. I applied a coat of China Glaze Fairy Dust then SV. So for now....Love Yourself!<br />
