Swatches: Pretty Woman neon colored nail polishes

I'm not too fond of neon colors, but I've been wanting to buy nail polishes to add to my collection particularly for some funky cheetah nail art designs. I'm not sure when I'm actually going to put neon colored nail polishes, but I bought it anyways because I found it at Ross for only $5.99. They're small, and I figured that's a good thing since it's just for small and intricate detailing. I compared it to a bottle of China Glaze. China Glaze looks like their mother. :P





Note: my color wheels make nail polishes dry matte when on real nails they're glossy.

NOTD: Rose nails

I haven't blogged for about four months due to life-changing events that have been happening. Almost all of my beauty essentials have been locked up and stored away which is why I haven't been blogging. However, I have finally gotten my hands on them and am slowly getting back into what I love doing. Stay tuned for more beauty looks and reviews!

Here's the most recent look I've done to my nails. They're simple, yet totally amazing due the fact that I love roses. :) 



Nail polishes used:
American Apparel: Mannequin
Sally Hansen - Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear: Twisted Pink
Nail art striper brush

NOTD: mint sorbet

Sally Hansen is my favorite drugstore nail polish brand because they're affordable, very pigmented, and have a wide variety of colors. Not only do they have their regulars, but they have a bunch of limited edition colors that seem to come out every time I walk into Walgreens and get lucky. I'm not aware of when their limited edition colors come out, but if I did I probably would be on to it... but I must resist the temptation to splurge.

I also love the nail polishes that are available at Forever 21. I do believe they're originally L.A. colors, just repackaged for sale at Forever 21. After all, the polishes that first appeared at the store actually had the original L.A. colors brand name on it. Lately, they've been coming out with more and more colors, and have recently come out with some scented ones that I have yet to try out. However, I haven't seen them locally at any of my Forever 21s; I haven't seen any nail polishes for the longest while now. I was able to buy them online. :)

I used Sally Hansen's limited edition nail polish in mint sorbet and coated my middle fingers with a sheer  green flake/glitter type color on my ring fingers. A lot of people complimented me on this due mainly because they liked the color, and many of them were shocked when they found out it was a drugstore product. :) I love getting great looks for less.

NOTD: black glitter

After painting my nails three days in a row, I decided to give me a manicure that would last me more than a day... and this was it. I got to test the black glittered NYX girls nail polish I bought a few days ago. The black nail polish I'm using is actually from the Philippines. This do was simple, yet chic... loved it... too bad it is officially ruined as of today because I swatched nail polish colors on my fingernails! :-) Time for a new do.

NOTD: matte giraffe

I love the tiny glitters in this nail polish. :) Decided to do some cheetah like I've seen somewhere else circulating tumblr's dashboard.
