Review: It's So Easy Saturday - Watermelon Nails

Happy Saturday! Another It's So Easy Saturday is upon us and I shifted a little bit away from the fabulous Stripe Rite paints and moved onto one of my passions in life: RHINESTONES!


The rhinestones come in six different shapes, in multicolor and clear. I like this packaging better than the rhinestone wheels because each little section has its own tab that lifts, so I'm never disturbing more than one section.

And while I was skeptical about the rhinestone stick, with a little silicone piece at each end (large and small), it worked very well. Honestly, it was much better than the top coat method I had been using before this.


Here was the end result of my watermelon nails! I used a glitter green foil (Zoya Ivanka) for the tips and a bright pink for the flesh of the fruit (Rimmel Posh Pink) and of course, the Stripe Rite paints for the seeds. On the ring finger, I thought it'd be cool to do an accent nail with the rhinestones instead because this shape looked JUST like seeds!

So what do you think of my version of Watermelon Nails? They've been a hit at work so far! :-D

Swatch and Review: Zoya Ivanka

Happy Friday, everyone! I thought we were a long time overdue for a little Zoya love!

This is actually my most recent Zoya purchase, the lovely green foil polish that is Ivanka.


This is Ivanka with two coats. Like the rest of the Flash and Sparkle collection, including Charla and Mimi, you really need three coats.


Ahh! Three coats of emerald, sparkly goodness! It is just GORGEOUS!

So what do you think of Ivanka?

Swatch and Review: Hump Day Holo - Nfu Oh 61


Happy Hump Day, everyone!

I'm bringing to you my VERY first Nfu Oh with those scandalous bottles!


It's Nfu Oh 61!


Here is Nfu Oh 61, a silver linear holo polish. When it goes on the nail, it looks pretty flat and just like chunky metal. But then, as it dried... something magical happened. And BOOM! It looked like it does above INDOORS!


And here is Nfu Oh 61 in natural light. It was gorgeous both indoors and outdoors. I had to put a top coat on over the polish, due to its tendency to crack and disintegrate with the slightest brush up against anything.

Truthfully, it's lack of durability was the major drawback for the polish. Though, I'd probably wear it again. Certainly, layering another polish over it didn't hurt.

So what do you think of Nfu Oh 61 for Hump Day?
