NOTD & Review: China Glaze- Flip Flop Fantasy ♡

First things first, something that you definitely are going to learn reading this post is that you should always investigate about the product you are buying!

Why am I saying writing this?

Well let me first start as a normal blog. Today guys I'm talking about a really famous nail polish that have been around: China Glaze- Flip Flop Fantasy!

Flip Flop Fantasy is from thre 2010 summer Poolside Collection. It is a super bright neon pink-coral that REALLY GETS ATTENTION!

Neons are really hard to capture in camera, so it was a pain taking pics of this polish! Please try to imagine the color but much brighter!

SO the story behind this is, the other day I went to a beauty store with a friend and we both bought this same polish! I was so excited for wearing this polish and when I started applying it I have to say that is the hardest polish to apply that I have tried, it never brushes on evenly. Also the formula is really watery. It is so streakey.

I was really disappointed because the color is soooo pretty and also because all my other China Glaze have a really good formula. My answer to my disappointment was investigate!

Neon colors are always like this type of formula! I thought that I was the only one with this experience but I read some forums and apparently I wasn't the only one.

What can you do if you love this polish but it's a nightmare to apply it?

1.- USE 3 COATS! I only apply this polish with 2 coats and I wasn't happy with the result.
2.- If you want a more polished look, apply a white nail polish before applying this polish (neons in general)
3.- Use a top coat! Neons normally dry matte, but not a pretty matte so be sure to apply a top coat!

Well that was it for this post, hope you all enjoy!!

NOTD: Hot!

Hi guys, today I have a nail of the day! Today I have a very special color which I normally don't use! Normally I don't use reds on my nails, I just don't; but I decided to give it a try. The day before my trip I painted my nails and it lasted like a week and a half!! I recommend this color specially in summer!

OPI - Cajun Shrimp

This color is so prettty!! I am just in love! And did you know this is one of OPI's best selling nail polish?

Well, that's it for today, hope you are enjoying your week! Have a great day!

NOTD: Natural with a touch!

Hi everyone, today I'm doing just a small nail of the day! This nail look is perfect if your somewhere where you can't wear nail polish! It´s natural but with a glam touch! Hope you enjoy!

From left to right: OPI- Bubble Bath; Essie- Buy me a Cameo

The bad thing is that this look doesn´t last a lot! And it´s not because of the nail polish, I discover that nail polihes that are very sheer chip much easier!

What do you think? Would you wear this look?

Hope you guys have a great week!
See you soon!

NOTD: A pretty pink!

Hi lovelies, today I am just showing you a NOTD that is for everyone out there who is looking for a pretty pink! The other day I was in the mood for picking up an Essie nail polish, so I did, and it is Essie- Mod Squad!

NOTD: Essie Shine of Times!

Hi guys!

Many of you may already heard about the Lux effects collection from Essie. One of the products that was on my wishlist for a really long time was Essie Shine of times, one of the most beautiful glitters that I have seen! So on one of my recent hauls I bought the Essie Shine of times. I almost shout when I saw it at the counter. So today I am showing you how I wore it!

Look at that! When you have your nails moving this is the effect that shows! Maybe it's just me but the colors remind me of "The Hunger Games"!

From left to right: Essie Shine of Times and Sally Hansen Xtreme Weat in Black Out.

Hope you guys enjoy this quick NOTD! Have a great day!

NOTD: Swiming in some Mermaid Tears!

Hi guys, today I have just a short NOTD. At first I wasn't doing this NOTD but I have got so many comments and positive feedback when I am wearing this nail polish (also one of my fav nail polishes on my collection) and it is OPI Mermaid Tears, from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection! I got this nail polish for my birthday, that was last september. Before my birthday I saw a picture of the collection and I fell in love with it (but  I just got 1 nail polish from the collection).

DISCLAIMER: My NOTD aren't all the nail polishes that I use, I just post NOTD that have been commented!

From Left to Right:
- Silver Shatter: A pretty silver color with a shatter texture.
-  Skull & Glossbones: an amazing light grey.
- Steady as she rose: A baby pink color. 
- Sparrow me the drama: A gorgeous barbie pink.
- Planks a lot: A pretty lavander color.
- Stranger tides: a murky sage light green.
- Mermaid tears:

This is a picture that I took when I was wearing this polish. I describe this color as a tiffany blue color mixed with a little bit of green!

I also pin this to pinterest so if you want to repin it, here's the link: http://pinterest.com/pin/252553491573392722/ (AT THE MOMENT IT HAS 13 REPINS)

Would you wear this color?

Hope you all enjoy this NOTD!

NOTD: Shatter with hot pink!!

Hi fashionistas,

So today I went to get my hands made at the salon, so I really wanted to try shatter nails. I want to show you how the nails look beacause they look so adorable. I watched the colors they put me, all is by O.P.I, so hope you enjoy!!

After they did a lot of the typical stuffs on my hands they put "nail envy by OPI", the girl said me that if i wanted the color to stay for more time i should apply this on every 2 days!!

Then i choose this color, it is "That's Hot! Pink" i think is so cute!! (she put 2 coats on)

Then she put on some of the "DS bold" .I reccomend that when you are using a shatter nail polish always use a glittery nail polish that match your color nail polish (only 1 coat).

And finally she put on the black shatter on.

Hope you liked this post and have a good week!!
