NOTD: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Deep Purple

Deep Purple #sallyhansen #notd by @elizabethkathrynx

I pained my nails over the weekend with a nail polish I've had for a good six moths that I just haven't used. This is Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear polish in Deep Purple(170). It is a beautiful purple shade, perfect for summertime! These are some of my favorite polishes. I applied two coats of this polish and it was opaque. You can buy Sally Hansen at your local drugstore.

NOTD - Essence in me & my lover

Taken with my iPhone

I got this nail polish in a makeup swap a few months ago and finally decides to use this nail polish. This polish has a unique formula, with a sparkle and sand effect. I got this opaque color in one coat!  After it dries, it feels like sandpaper on your nails. It is very unique and dried extremely fast! I am very curious about the lasting power of this polish. You can buy Essence products at your local Ulta store.

I got these polishes in a makeup swap and I just adore this combination. I like wearing the glitter polish on the ring finger to add a little extra something to the look. I also wore this combination for my New Year's Eve gathering I had at my apartment!

NOTD: Covergirl Outlast in Rouge Red

I also took this picture with my iPhone's camera

Today's post featured a new nail polish I picked up from Rite Aid. This is the Covergirl Outlast polish in Rouge Red #610. It is one of the best drugstore polishes I have ever owned! It was opaque in one coat and I added a second just to try it! It has the perfect formula and dried nearly instantly! I also think this polish is perfect for fall! I now want to try more polishes by Covergirl because they nailed it!

NOTD: Maybelliene Color Show in Go Go Green

Maybelliene Color Show in Go Go Green #340

I picked up this nail polish a few months ago at Target (it was on clearance for $0.88 cents) and finally got around to wearing it! It is a beautiful green color, perfect for the spring and summer seasons, although I could see it being worn all year round! These Color Show nail polishes have the most amazing formula! They are also opaque in two coats. I paired this polish with my Beauty Secrets Top Coat, which you can purchase at Sallys Beauty Supply. I highly recommend these polishes and they are one of my favorites from the drugstore!

Two Coats

Today's nail of the day post features Maybelline's Color Show Holographic polish in Mystic Green. I tried to like this polish but unfortunately this one let me down. You can that this is a gorgeous green duo-chrome with gold reflex. The packaging is great and it applied like any other nail polish on the market, however, I HATE the formula of this polish. It is odd. It is thin but thick at the same time. It also appears very streaky on the nails and leaves a weird bubbling effect as well, almost like there are small glitter specs in the polish itself, maybe that is for the "holographic" effect. I have heard this line of polishes by Maybelline are supposed to be great but this particular one is a HUGE let down.

This nail polish can be bought at most drugstores.

Also I am starting to sell clothing, jewelry, etc. on Poshmark!

Nail of the Day: OPI for Sephora in QVC What I Mean?

For Christmas I got a nail set from Sephora containing five nail polishes and today I decided to try one of these polishes. The color I am wearing is called QVC What I Mean?

This color is beautiful! I would describe it as an opaque muted mauve-pink. It has the signature Sephora by  OPI nail polish formula and has the perfect finish! It was opaque in two coats.  It was really hard to capture this color in a photograph because it is so close to my skin tone! I also applied a base and top coat by Beauty Secrets, which you can purchase at Sally's Beauty Supply store.

Would you wear this color?

P.S. I messed around with editing this photo using iPhoto on my MacBook Pro. Let me know what you think in the comments xx

Nail of the Day: NCLA Nail Laquer in Hello, I Love You

Today's nail of the day post is featuring my new NCLA Nail Laquer in Hello,  I love You. I received this nail polish in my Little Black Bag. It is described as a "rich, bright, florescent berry" on NCLA's website. It also one of their best selling colors! 

two coats with a base and top coat.

My thoughts:  I think this is a great nail polish. It is opaque in two coats. It is a lovely color and it could be worn year-round.  I would love to try more of these polishes in the future.

NCLA Nail Laquer is 100% free of DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Camphor and never tested on animals. 

These polishes retail for $16.00 USD.

Nail of the Day: OPI For Sephora in Ruby Without A Cause

Today's Nail of the Day post in a new nail polish polish I picked up recently from Sephora. It is perfect for the holiday season! OPI For Sephora describes this color as a "opaque chrome wine-burgundy with two tone effect".

one coat

This nail polish is perfection! It is opaque in one coat! In the light it looks more like a berry color! It is the perfect formula and the duo-chrome is very unique!

I would have to say you have to pick this up for the holiday season! It is the perfect berry color and burgundy is all the rage right now!

What's your favorite nail polish right now?

Halloween Nails

Halloween was yesterday so I painted my nails to make them look a little bit more festive for the day since I wasn't dressing up. I paired my Sephora by OPI polish in Hi Def with the Wet n Wild Fergie polish in Rock n Roll.

I applied two coats of Hi Def then one coat of Rock n Roll. I was very impressed with the amount of glitter in this polish! I also applied my Beauty Secrets Top Coat.

Sephora by OPI polishes can be bought at Sephora.

Wet n Wild can be bought an drugstores.

Beauty Secrets Top Coat can be found at Sally's Beauty Supply.

Did you paint your nais anything special for Halloween?

Nail of the Day: Wet n Wild Silvivor

Today's nail of the day post features Wet n Wild's new Silvivor polish. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago and finally decided to test it out. This is a gorgeous metallic silver polish, that is absolutely perfect for the holiday season, especially New Year's Eve! I could also see this polish being popular around Homecoming and/or Prom season as well!

one coat, natural lighting

This photo does not do this polish justice!  It appears very streaky and not opaque in the photo but the polish is the complete opposite! I applied one coat and the polish was opaque! You could apply two coats but I don't see a reason why, unless you encounter streaking. I love the formula of these polishes.

You can find Wet n Wild at drugstores for around $1.99 dollars.

Would you wear this polish?

Nail of the Day - Color Club Put a Pin In It

Today's nail of the day post features a special nail polish. This nail polish by Color Club was created in a collaboration between Birchbox and Color Club. I don't exactly understand the name of this polish but hey, it's a gorgeous color :) I got this nail polish in my September Birchbox. Birchbox describes this color as a "gilded rose gold", which is pretty much a perfect description of the color.

one coat, natural light

I really this nail polish! Color club polishes have excellent pigmentation and this polish is no less! The only problem I have with these polishes is that they are extremely difficult to take off your nails. Besides that, I love them!

Full size Color Club polishes retail for approximately $8.00 dollars.
