BPS Flourescent Polish #15 review + palm tree mani;

hi :)

a few weeks ago, i was offered to review a few items for Born Pretty Store; i got a few items so i'll split them up and do a few separate reviews. first review, Flourescent Polish #15.




two coats. the polish was just a bit thick but it applied beautifully. for being a bright neon, it covered perfectly in two coats ... just amazing! its sooo bright & pretty. looooove it :) its a vibrant, bright, neon yellow with slight green undertones.


here's a picture with flash. the color looks a bit shrek-ish here .. but irl, its not. just imagine less green.

i decided to do a bright, neon gradient...


this is my instagram'd picture so its not exactly color accurate. the pink is China Glaze's Flip Flop Fantasy.

then i decided to do a palm tree mani;


this picture shows the polish colors better ..


but this picture shows the gradient better. irl, the colors more neon & vibrant.

a big thanks to Born Pretty Store for the items. don't forget, if you want to order anything from BPS, you are always more than welcomed to use my coupon code and save 7% off your order! feel free to take advantage of it! :D the code is 'KL5X31' and it is good until September 6, 2012.

Dermelect polishes review + floral mani;

hey :)

a few weeks ago, Alyssa over from Dermelect Cosmeceuticals kindly offered me to review two polishes from their new 'ME Collection'. i was sent Persuasive & Above It.


2 coats of Persuasive. the formula was just the tiniest bit thick but it was easy to work with.


2 coats of Above It. the formula for this one was just a bit watery, but again, it was easy to work with.

the bottles are just adorable! and the polishes are beautiful and very easy to work with .. so i decided to do a floral mani with it.


the colors of Persuasive & Above It are off in this picture ... but they complimented the floral so well.

you can check out the polishes here. again, a big thanks to Alyssa of Dermelect Cosmeceuticals.

have a good one,
