Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Lycra Pro 411 Navy Seal & China Glaze Pizzazz

Hi there! Today’s post is about a mani I did last week.

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel Lycra Pro 411 Navy Seal (2 coats). This is a beautiful navy polish. A bit lighter than most navy shades, almost ‘dusty’. I like this polish very much!

The cute rainbow glitter top coat that I used is China Glaze Pizzazz. This glitter polish is an oldie; it was part of a Christmas set I bought ages ago.

I liked the look of this mani a lot. Unfortunately, it was impossible to capture what the mani actually looked like in real life. None of the photos I took did the mani justice. I will redo it in the spring or summer in natural light.

Nail Of The Day – Revlon Top Speed 570 Vintage & Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 833 Vintage Confetti

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Revlon Top Speed 570 Vintage (2 easy coats).

This polish is amazing! It dries quickly and it looks utterly gorgeous. I love it!

The glitter top coat is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure 833 Vintage Confetti (2 coats).

This is a very cute glitter top coat. But I’d like it more if the glitter-to-clear-polish ratio was higher.

I always need to apply 2 coats to have a decent amount of glitter on my nails when 1 coat should do it.

I liked the look of this mani a lot, and I look forward to plenty of glitter manis this coming autumn and winter.

Nail Of The Day – Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Candy Corn, Ciaté Cabaret & Ciaté Party Shoes

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Sugar Coat 260 Candy Corn (2 coats, pinkies, ring fingers). This is a textured polish. I never really understood the appeal, but I do have a few textured polishes, and I think they work well in mixed manis.

I painted my thumbs, index and middle fingers with Ciaté Cabaret (2 coats). This is a nice purplish polish. I do like the colour.

The glitter top coat I used is Ciaté Party Shoes. It has a remarkably dull finish and it would have required an extra coat of clear polish on top. Yikes!

All in all, this would have been a decent mani if it hadn’t been for the awful top coat. I would have applied a coat of clear polish, but it literally too late – I had to go to bed! 🤷‍♀️

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel 60 Seconds 305 Naughty But Nice, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 540 Glitter Gun, Sally Hansen Sugar Coat 280 Gummy Grape

Hi there! Today’s short post is about a mani I did just a few weeks ago.

For this mani I painted my nails with Sally Hansen Sugar Coat 280 Gummy Grape (2 coats, pinkies, ring fingers). I never really cared for textured nail polish, but this is definitely a nice one.

For the thumbs, index and middle fingers I used Rimmel 60 Seconds 305 Naughty But Nice (2 coats). The glitter top coat is Sally Hansen Xreme Wear 540 Glitter Gun (1 coat).

Rimmel did a great job with this bright and pretty red. I don’t like red nail polish in general, but I like this one!
