Revlon ColorStay Nail color~ Indigo Night

I have finally broke down and purchased a Revlon ColorStay Longwear Nail Enamel. So many people have been raving about them so I decided to pick one up at my local target.  I chose one of the blue shades called Indigo Night.  I'm not sure why, but I love the color blue and I LOVE wearing said color on my nails. This color is amazing, It reminds me of a blue crayon. :D
 
 
 
Formula/Application: 
The formula of this polish is amazing! Photos above are 1 coat of Indigo Night..just 1...can you believe it!? I have never had a polish that went completely opaque in one coat! I must buy another one! The polish consistency is slightly on the thicker side making it easy to have an opaque first coat. The brush is slightly rounded on the ends so it gets into the corners and around the cuticle nicely. I will say if you go over the same spot twice without letting the polish set a little it will streak.
 
How it stays on:
Staying power is just as great. Most polish chips on me the same day I put it on, but not this polish it stayed on a solid 3 days for me. That is good in my book because as most of you know by now my hands are always in water at my job so polish never sticks!
 
Price: $4.99 USD
 
Where to buy:
I have seen these polishes in Target (where I got mine), Walmart, CVS, and Ulta.  I am sure there are plenty of other places that sell them too.
 
Have you tried Revlon Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel? What is your favorite shade?

Nail of the day

 Today's nail color is by Wet and Wild Spoiled collection in the color Paying with
Platinum. It is a really cool two toned color. It has a gray base and as the light catches this polish it can turn a gray/pink hue or a gray/green hue.





On the top picture the polish is more pink, while on the bottom picture its more green, all by moving my fingers around and the light catching it differently.


Now I do have another polish by this brand (its bright green) and the brush shed like crazy!!! This one seems to be fine. The brush is a little different than your standard polish brush, the ends are shaped more rounded and the tip sticks up rather than one flat square shape so you can get into the corners of your nail better.

This polish does last for a few days (with my hands in water all the time, getting 2 or 3 days of lasting power is awesome) and it only costs around $1.99-$2.99 USD so its not going to break your wallet! :) My only complaints are the brushes might shed, so make sure to look at it really well before purchasing and the smell of this polish is STRONG so don't use it in a tiny bathroom...unless you have the fart fan on (teehee)

These polishes can be found at pretty much anywhere,walmart,CVS,target,walgreens etc...Mine is from cvs(incase you wanted to know) and cost $1.99 USD... This is a polish line sold at  CVS only. I swear I thought Ive seen them elsewhere but apparently not...so oopsy :)


HAVE YOU TRIED THE SPOILED POLISHES?

NOTD, First Time using Polish Strips


I am just NOW trying  the Sally Hansen nail polish strips for the first time today. I know ,I know, but better late than never..Right?
See, my hands are always in water because of my job so polish NEVER stays on my nails for longer than a day and I also couldn't justify spending 10 bucks on a one time use nail sticker, so that's why it took me forever to try these! I was walking around  CVS  about a week ago and noticed there were a few for 75% off! I was like OK, if they suck Ill be out  2 bucks instead of 10. So I bought 1. :)

"skinny jean" is the color


What it all comes with...you know, for  maybe the 1 or 2 people that have not used them yet. :P


Denim nails :)


Follow up:
 I have had these on for about an hour now and one already chipped. I mean WTF? Everyone loves these things and how long they last...I read the directions correctly and did what they said and one chipped!
Does anybody have any pointers? Glad it was 2 dollars :)
