BRAND REVEIW: Essie

 I first heard about this brand when a beauty guru on youtube (juicystar07) compared it to OPI which at the time was my favorite brand. After a little while of trying to decide if any brand could possibly be as good as OPI (or dare I say better) I gave it a shot. Best (nail polish wise) decision ever! The color lasted all week long, applied smoothy and dried pretty fast. I was a little nervous because the brush wasn't that big, but I got use to it quickly. After checking out their website I saw that their color selection was much better than OPI's and that they were constantly coming out with newer, awesomer (yeah spell check, I know thats not a word), better collections. They cost about $9.00 which to some maybe a lot, but if your willing to spend it it's totally worth the price. Essie with out a doubt gets 5 stars.

BRAND REVIEW: Sinful Colors

  I have to admit, I didn't have high expectations for this polish, but I had been craving the perfect bright, hot, bubble gum pink color and when I saw this at the drugstore I figured that I didn't have anything to lose. It wasn't as expensive as the polishes that I normally got, so I was praying that I would like it. I had heard of Sinful Colors before, but I hadn't heard if it was a brand worth trying or not. I certainly wasn't disappointed. The color was BEYOND amazing and it dried faster than any other nail polish I had. My one complaint is that it chipped pretty bad. Maybe that was my top coat (if you know you have a really good top coat I would definitely recommend this brand), but I could see why it wasn't as much as other polishes.  

PRODUCT REVEIW:OPI Drip Dry Drops

 I had always wanted to try these, but never got around to it. I probably would have never bought it unless my friend hadn't recomended it to me saying, and I qoute, it's "Like magic". Once I tired it I learned my friend was right! It was like magic! My nails were dry in 10 seconds at the most. i would recomend this product to anyone because it truly is,"Like magic".

BRAND REVEIW: Sephora by OPI

 I honestly don't have much to say about this brand because the polish is very similar to the regular OPI brand. The only difference I find is the Sephora by OPI has a little bit more polish and the Sephora by OPI brush is thinner than the regular OPI brush which really disapointed me. For my reveiw on the actual polish, check out my OPI brand reveiw.

BRAND REVEIW:LA Colors Nail Art Deco

  I recently received a LA Color Nail Art Deco nail polish and I was really impressed. The polish is good quality and the colors are beautiful. One thing I also loved was how thin the brushes were, making it easy to make french tips. Though the nail polish chipped off kinda quick (which probably only happened because one little chip annoys me and I took it off right away without trying to fix it) I was still impressed with the polish and hope to purchase more soon.

STOP IT: Salon Mishaps

  Getting your nails done is always exciting, but sometimes they don't turn out as you like them and you end up with another trip to the salon or a messed up manicure. Here are some things you can do to aviod a salon mishap
1.) Ask a friend who has been there before! Or if you don't have a specific salon in mind, ask a friend what their favorite is.
2.) If your friend as never been to the salon in mind or doesn't have any suggestions, read online reveiws! Though they may not always be that onest, but you at least have some idea of whats going to happen.
3.) Check the price! If you have to risk an awful manicure, you at least shouldn't spend alot of money on it.

BRAND REVEIW:Claire's

  Knowing claire's cosmetics, I didn't have high exspectations for their nail polish. Their nail polish is okay, but nothing to rave about. It comes off quickly and doesn't dry fast but it's okay. One thing I truly don't like is that when your taking off their sparkly nail polish the color comes off, but it leaves a sparkly sliver layer that is hard to get off. All in all, I really don't like their polishes.
