Polished Up Tuesday + Mini OOTD


Long time no post, everyone! As I'm sure most of you understand, life has been crazy and it's easy to get away from things you enjoy to keep up with a daily routine.
With that being said, I'm getting a bit creative this week with Polished Up Tuesday. I was flipping through InStyle's June magazine and was inspired by an article on white nails (high five to any of you having middle school flashbacks).
I love the way this turned out on my nails. I used one of the mini bottles of polish from the brand Petites in French White. The polish applied a bit streaky at first, but the second coat and my top coat smoothed everything out. There was a tiny amount of bubbling (I think I saw one).
I also included a quick OOTD. I'm wearing a pink floral top and white jeans (both bought at JCP last year).
Have a great day!

Polished Up Tuesday: China Glaze's Re-Fresh Mint


I'm glad to finally start wearing some of my fun pastel colors for spring. Today I'm wearing Re-Fresh Mint from China Glaze. This polish is a fun mint color that makes me think of the fresh colors of the season. This polish will usually last me about four days before it starts to show any signs of wear. It took two coats to achieve the look above.

Polished up Tuesday: OPI's My Significant Other Color


Today's polish is My Significant Other Color by OPI. This polish is unlike anything I have in my collection. From the angle in the picture, my nails are a pretty purple. But, when the color catches the light, it reflects a golden green color (seen in the center of the bottle), giving the polish a duo-chrome effect.
This polish applies sheer. I am wearing two coats in the photo above and you can still see my nail a little. I wasn't sure if I liked how sheer it was at first, but then I realized this could also make an awesome top coat to a darker shade.

Polished Up Tuesday: Sally Hansen's Pink Satin


When I first saw this polish I knew I wanted it. However, not purchasing it right away was a bad move since it took me forever to find it again. Luckily I saw it while I was in Walmart a few weeks ago. Pink Satin is a beautiful pink polish with silver running through it to create a stunning metallic shade. It is unique to all the other Xtreme wear products from Sally Hansen.
This polish applied smoothly and very opaque. It took one coat to achieve the look above.
