 Sea 07 Sally Hansen
I don't usually like blue nailpolish, but this one is surprisingly pretty. I had to do 3 or 4 coats on my nails because the formula isnt opaque but it went on evenly. The color of this polish is really close to the color of sea foam but it has more blue in it. I recommend this color to anyone looking for a good light blue color, and I like the smooth and perfect line from sally hansen. The formulas are more tacky than OPI, which I think makes the polish go on better. This polish stayed on for 7 days without chipping. Definitely give either this color or this line of nail polishes a try, if you haven't already!

How Cute Is That? OPI and To The Glitter End! OPI

How Cute Is That? OPI and To The Glitter End! OPI
I love this combination! It looks really Halloweeny and is super cute. How Cute Is That has a really good formula. I put on 2 coats and it is completely opaque. I put 1 coat of To The Glitter End on, but if you want there to be more black glitter on, you can do more coats. It didn't chip for me at all until after it had been on for 6 days. This is definitely a good look for the fall and I definitely recommend this combination to everyone.

Wet n Wild Go With The Glow 12490

Wet n Wild Go With The Glow
This is glow in the dark nail polish. It goes on clear over top of whatever nail polish color you have on. I love it! The bottle says to put 3 coats on. It glows after one coat but it really glows after 3. I strongly recommend this to everyone! I got it at CVS for less than $10. It glows the greenish color that it appears in the bottle in the picture below. It dries quickly and goes on evenly. This polish looks really cool when it glows and everyone should definitely get it!

Gray Lace Sephora by OPI

Gray Lace Sephora by OPI

I wanted lace nail stickers for a long time and when I saw these in Sephora I thought they would probably be good. However, when I put them on I didn't really think they looked like lace at all. They looked more like something for Halloween to me. Other than that, I really like these stickers and intend to get more Sephora nail stickers in the future. They went on nicely and didn't chip for the whole seven days I left them on. I put clear nail polish over top of the nail stickers to give them a shine and the polish stayed on. I recommend these stickers and the Sephora by OPI brand of stickers to everyone!

Furry Cheetah Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps

Furry Cheetah Nail Rock Designer Nail Wraps

I love how these nail stickers look on. Cheetah is my favorite animal print and I was really happy when I found a cheetah nail sticker that was pretty (: These nail stickers didn't chip at all for the whole 5 days I had them on. They're pretty easy to put on, although I wish the sizes of stickers varied a little more. Don't try to put clear nail polish on them (I did) because it didn't stick on them at all and just ends up chipping off. To file the ends off, I would strongly recommend using a soft nail file if you have one so that the edges are smooth. The file they give you is really rough. I would say the trickiest part of these (and any) nail stickers is getting them on straight. You can definitely do it if u have enough patience. Once they're on make sure you smooth them down to get rid of all bumps and folds. I got these nail stickers at CVS and they were a little less than $7. I would recommend trying this brand of nail stickers, and they have a lot of other cool ones that I plan on trying in the future.

Navy Baby Sally Hansen

Navy Baby Sally Hansen
This nail polish is a beautiful deep navy blue [the color on my ring finger is Sea by Sally Hansen]. In low lighting it looks black, but otherwise you can tell what color it is. I usually don't like to wear blues on my nails but this polish was definitely an exception. The formula is thick, so it is easy to apply evenly. This polish did not chip for six days, which was how long I kept it on. If you're looking for a good deep blue, this polish is definitely great for you! The only down side to this polish is when I took it off with nail polish remover, it stained my skin and nails a little bit. Besides that, I think this polish is a beautiful color and definitely makes a statement.

Lori Greiner by Orly Manicure Keeper Rubberized Basecoat

Lori Greiner by Orly Manicure Keeper Rubberized Basecoat
This base coat is a must for anyone who has painted nails. I have pretty thin nails and usually my nail polish lasts one or two days before it starts chipping no matter what I do. It doesn't matter how good the formula of the polish is or how many coats I put on, it always chips really soon. However, when I use this base coat, my nail polish lasts at least six days before chipping. It is seriously like magic. It goes on clear and dries really quickly. This base coat also helps my nail polish go on evenly without streaking, even if the polish has a bad formula. I thought this base coat would make my polish crack because it's rubberized but that has never happened. I seriously recommend getting a base coat for anyone who wants their nail polish to last longer, and this is definitely a great one!

Brattlesnake Sally Hansen

Brattlesnake Sally Hansen
I absolutely love these nail stickers. I got them from Walgreens Drug Store and I think they were less than $10. So far, they are definitely my favorite. They are also super easy to put on. since each nail sticker is on an individual backing, you can place that over your nail to see which stickers would fit best on your nails. To put them on, make sure the sticker is straight and starting where your cuticles are, put the center of the sticker down. Then make sure again the sticker looks straight. From there, smooth the sticker down in a straight line from the center of your cuticle to the center of the edge of your nail. Then smooth down the sticker going from the center to one edge and repeat on the other side (If the sticker is not straight when you put it on, you can just peel it off and start over). I added clear nail polish to make the stickers look more shiny. These nail stickers also come off easily with nail polish remover. I seriously recommend these nail stickers to anyone, and trust me, you'll love them as much as I do (and you'll get tons of complements).

Don't Feed the Hand Models OPI and Only Gold for Me OPI

Don't Feed the Hand Models OPI & Only Gold for Me OPI
I got both of these nail polishes at Sephora. I love Don't Feed the Hand Models. It is a beautiful neutral that would look good on any skin tone. In certain lights it has a slight purple undertone. The color looks like a taupe or like coffee with a lot of creamer in it. It is the perfect neutral for anyone. Only Gold for me looks great on top of Don't Feed the Hand Models. It has a combination of tiny and large gold flecks on it. This combination is perfect and could work in any season. I strongly recommend both nail polishes to anyone reading this! (:

Love Letter Sally Hansen

Love Letter Sally Hansen
I love these nail stickers! I got them at Walgreens for less than $10. These nail stickers lasted me for nine days before chipping. They are also super easy to use. Each nail sticker comes individually in the box which makes it easy to put over your nails to see which sticker will fit best. Each pack of nail stickers comes with a wooden tool to make sure the sticker is completely pushed down on your nails around the edges. My advice is to read the directions for taking the sticker off the paper backing it comes on because even though it's really easy to do, I messed up the first time. When putting the stickers on your nails, I would recommend putting them down on the top middle of your nail first to make sure it goes on straight. Then, push the sticker down going from the middle to one side and then repeat on the other side to make sure it lies flat. However, if you do mess up you can always just take off the sticker and try again. I put clear nail polish on top to give my nails a shine finish. I definitely think everyone should try the nail stickers at least once! They are easy to use, last long, and are a fun alternative to regular nail polish.

Caught With My Khakis Down OPI

Caught With My Khakis Down OPI
This nail polish is from Sephora, but you can probably also get it online. This is one of my favorite nail polishes. The green is a nice deep almost army green. It is a part of the safari collection. The color matched a lot of my outfits and also looks great with gold jewelry. The formula is great. I only had to put on 2 coats, it went on evenly, and it was completely opaque. I recommend this to everyone reading. (:

Claire's Zebra Bling Nail Stickers

Claire's Zebra Bling Nail Stickers
The zebra stripes and bling are on a clear nail sticker and you can get these from any Claire's in a mall or outlet for $7. After always trying to paint my nails and make them look perfect all the time, it's good to try a nail sticker to have a break. I love these. They are really easy to put on. The pack comes with 16 different stickers with different sized stickers so you'll most likely be able to find ones that fit all of your nails. To put them on, I recommend holding the sticker in between your index finger and thumb and bending it slightly to fit the curve of your nail. Then do your best to put it on your nail straight - its pretty easy but don't be afraid to peel it off and try again if it isn't straight enough for you. When you smooth them on start at one edge and work your way over to avoid getting bumps. They will be a little too long so I just cut the excess off with nail trimmers (they go right through the bling) and then nail filed it carefully to fit my nail exactly. The package said to put clear nail polish on underneath, which I did with my ring finger. Under the rest of the stickers I put the Sephora by OPI nail polish It's All About Me. However, I like it best with clear on the bottom. At the end you also have to put clear on the top. I definitely recommend these nail stickers to everyone! They stay on for a while and are super cute.

Havana Dreams OPI

Havana Dreams OPI
This is not one of my favorite nail polishes. It is another Sephora by OPI nailpolish. This is actually one of my mom's nail polishes (shh don't tell!) and I wanted to try it to get away from all the pinks and purples I usually use. The formula was very thin and it was hard to get the color to be consistent on the whole nail. I also didn't really like the color. It should have either been more icy or more saturated. To me, this color was kind of dull. I do not recommend this color at all to any of you, but I guess it is possible you'll have better luck with it than I did.

Metro Chic OPI

Metro Chic OPI
I just wanted to start off by saying sorry about the little bit of chipping. I took this picture after I had the nail polish on for a few days. This is one of the Sephora OPI nail colours. Even though this isn't one of my usual pink nail polish colors, I still love this one. The formula on this color is amazing. It is really thick and was completely opaque after 2 coats. I definitely recommend this nail polish to everyone! It is the perfect purpley grey color and every girl should have this color in her collection. The color is definitely unique but really pretty. It is really in right now and OPI did a great job on this. This color goes great with a lot of outfits but I especially love it with my dark skinny jeans and muted cheetah shirt. Obviously you can get this at Sephora and it comes with high recommendations from me (:

Whisper Sally Hansen

Sally Hansen Whisper 05
I absolutely love this nail polish. The formula is a little thin so I had to do 3 coats and as you can see still was not completely opaque. I could have kept going a couple more coats but I thought the color was so pretty as is. The color came out exactly as it looks in this picture - I got lucky with my camera this time. The nail polish lasted about 5 days before chipping, which is saying something because usually nail polish chips on me the very next day. All my friends loved this color too. It is very sweet and the name is so perfect for it. I recommend this color to everyone reading this! I loved it so much that for prom this year I was going to get a french mani to go with my dress but instead I used this. I hope you all give this a try! If you're interested in getting the nail polish, I'm pretty sure I got it at Target and the bottle says Smooth and Perfect (:
