~Fresh Coat~ Cover Girl Outlast Nail Polish in Peaches & Cream...

Monday, May 20, 2013


Hey Everyone!!

I never do "before & after" after photos with polish but when I use a polish that claims, "no chipping" or "long lasting results" or "color stay" or "outlast", B&As are inappropriate for the post.

Its taken me a minute to pick up one of these CoverGirl Outlast Nail Gloss polishes. They are really small and run $5-$6. Not a deal for me. However, blogger MissJia instagrammed her nail in Peaches & Cream and I was smitten. I went to the cheapest place I know for CoverGirl, Walmart, and picked it up.

This is two coats with a top coat and on the ring finger, Spoiled by Wet N' Wild in Jewelry Heist.

If you look closely to the ring finger, I have chip, that showed up about an hour after the manicure.

I knew this was not going to be good. LOL!



Three days later....my nails are looking dusty and rusty. I've used another drugstore brand "long lasting" polish and didn't have these chipping problems. I even double checked myself, "Were my coats thin or too thick?" "What base coat did I use?" But the reality is, the polish doesn't Outlast nothing. At least on MY NAILS.

I'm glad I only bought one Cover Girl Outlast Nail Gloss...and this will be my only one.

~Fresh Coat~ JulieG Gumdrop Collection Nail Colors....

Thursday, May 09, 2013


Hey Everyone!!

Since I missed out on  the great Groupon deal that was on the JulieG Gumdrop Collection, I had to resort to hunting them down. I spotted them in Rite-Aid which is the only place they are sold. The swatches I saw of these were gorgeous!! I picked up Blueberry Fizz, Rock Candy, and Crushed Candy.


 Blueberry Fizz ( on the ring finger)

 Crushed Candy( on the middle finger)


Rock Candy ( on the pinky and index fingers)

Overall....

I LOVE this polish!! The brilliant texture, the opacity, and the colors are awesome. I wanted to use a top coat, but from the reviews I read, it would take up to four or five coats of top coat to get a glossy finish, so skipped that idea. These JulieG polishes are smaller than her core line but the same price at $3.99. I found another Rite-Aid that had these polishes so I plan on getting the other shades as well.


Have you tried any of the Gumdrop Collection or any other "sugar" coated polishes? Let me know your favorites in the comments!!
