Forget Me Not Friday - CHINA GLAZE: Point Me to the Party

Pin It
China Glaze Point Me to the Party

It's been a minute since I dug into my bin of untrieds to share with ya'll! ;] Today, I have a glitter topper from China Glaze's latest collection, Summer 2015 Electric Nights. This collection was filled with amazing, neon awesomeness and this is one polish I couldn't pass up. And The Beauty Clutch was nice enough to send me Point Me to the Party as a gift! Check it out!

Point Me to the Party is a glitter topper with: "Neon green, orange, pink, purple, and blue matte multi-sized glitter" in a clear base. I know this polish has an indie vibe to it, and that's totally okay with me. This glitter topper is so much fun and so versatile. Neon glitter is a great way to spice up any mani, if I do say so myself.

I did 2 coats of Point Me to the Party. The application was easy to work with and had decent glitter coverage. I feel like it could of had more glitter because it was a little on the base-y side, which can affect dry time. I'd recommend waiting between coats, especially if you're a heavy coater.

BORN PRETTY STORE: QJ-1034 Nail Wraps + BP-57 Stamping Plate

Pin It
Born Pretty Store QJ-1034 Nail Wraps

HAPPY HUMP DAYYYYY! Today I have some nail wrap sticker things from Born Pretty Store. Funny story, I have zero interest in football but I chose this sticker set because of the stripe designs LOL.

Born Pretty Store BP-57 plate and QJ-1034 Nail Wraps

I had a kind of punk rock idea in my head, but I lost it because I didn't write it down *facepalm* so I paired it with the stamping plate, BP-57, I did not review the other day (posted here). I think they ended up working out nicely together! I wish the dark green stripe was black, which I thought it was when I ordered, but it works.

(I also thought that I received all the images shown on the listing, but you have to choose which style you want - OOPS! Kind of sad because I totally was digging those eyeballs haha)

The stickers were very easy to work with. If you're familiar with the Sally Hansen nail polish strips, they're about the same quality as those.  The images printed on them were well done and the lines were crisp.

I did have issues with these stickers staying down on my nails, you can see the small folds on the sides of my nails. I later fixed them (sorry I forgot to take a picture!) the way I fix the Sally Hansen ones when they do that, smooth them out very, very CAREFULLY with a brush dipped in acetone.

Don't forget, you can also get a 10% discount on any order using my discount code, LACJ61, and Born Pretty Store always offers FREE shipping!


What do you think of this interesting mani I created? hahaha It's a little different from my norm but I think the designs played well with each other.

Love ya!

Forget Me Not Friday - SINFUL COLORS SINFULSHINE: Prosecco

Pin It
SinfulShine Prosecco

Hello, hello! It's finally FRIDAY, so here we are with another round of Forget Me Not Friday. This week's contender is Sinful Colors SinfulShine Prosecco. If you hang out around Instagram, you know this polish was a BIG deal last fall. Naturally, when people make a big deal out of things on Instagram... I have to buy them. SO let's see if this was worth the hype?

SinfulShine Prosecco
SinfulShine Prosecco
SinfulShine Prosecco

Prosecco is a light taupe creme with tiny iridescent gold flakies. I feel like this could be related to Zoya Jules, which I blog sale-d because I hated how it looked on me LOL! BUT for some reason I like this on me more than Jules, I think because it isn't as metallic. Prosecco is nice soft shade with that gorgeous flakie shimmer. You can't deny that this polish is pretty, don't even lie to yourself ;]

I did 3 coats of Prosecco. It built up nicely but still seemed kind-of-sort-of patch, my poor pinky nail. Thankfully, it wasn't super apparent. I was shocked by the dry time. 90% of the time when I use SinfulShine polishes the dry time is awful. However, Prosecco had an awesome dry time which made building it up worthwhile.

I admit it: #worththehype

POLISH INFORMATIONBrand: Sinful Colors
WebsiteFacebook | Twitter

You might have seen the Prosecco hype last fall. Everyone on Instagram was scrambling and buying as many of these gosh darn polishes they could get their polished hands on. Besides this polish being gorgeous, people were scrambling because Sinful Colors has killed the SinfulShine line... Understandable, that line (IMHO) sucked.

Dropped the polish info to just their links since the prices/locations aren't relevant anymore haha. If you're in search of Prosecco, or any other SinfulShine polishes for that matter, your best bet is either blog sales or Big Lots (Where Sinful Colors go to die lmao).

Happy Friday!
I bought this myself. Is that good enough for you, Federal Trade Commission?
