Black Label Nails Polish Review+Swatches


Aren't those bottles just the cutest?! These three beauties are by Black Label Nails polish by Jennifer. I was so happy when she let me watch/review for her, lol. I did not get to pick the colors, but I love them! She sent me two solids, and a glitter topper to test/review/swatch.

When I first opened my package, it was love at first sight. I absolutely love the square bottle (these are minis), and the label. The label is just the cutest! I love anything with skulls, so this is just...love. Haha!



The polishes she sent me: Sick Hearts, Supernova Champagne, Silver + Cold.

 Sick Hearts is a glitter topper with blue hearts and hexes in grey,blue and white.

I am not a big fan of glitter toppers, but I loved this one. First of all, it as hearts. I have a couple of other polishes with heart but I always have to fish them out. I don't like that! I was so happy when at the first swipe of this I had two hearts on my nails. I also really liked that the glitter was easy to spread on, no need to dab it on.

 Supernova Champagne is such a pretty duo chrome. It has a silver look in the bottle, with hints of a brown base. I don't know that this picture does the colors justice! 

This one is my favorite! Depending on which way you hold the bottle, the polish looks silver or a silvery brown (if that makes sense). The polish applied very well and I had full coverage with two coats. It was a bit streaky at first, but It was due to the weather (cold). Once it was at room temperature, it went on even and super smooth. The color shows well even in one coat, and it is easy to layer in case you want even more color.

Silver + Cold is a blue chrome color. This one also has a silver/rainbow shimmer to it in the light.

Just like Supernova Champagne, this one was super easy to apply. I, again, only, needed two thin coats to achieve complete coverage and get the color I wanted. I really liked that this polish goes on light because it makes layering much easier. I can go light or dark depending on the amount of coats I add.

Overall I give these a 10/10. I like that they feature a flat brush, and do not take ages to dry. In my opinion they are pigmented enough,and the colors are true to the bottle in two coats. Oh, and these don't have a nasty smell to them either. 

I recomment you guys go and check her polishes out! As of right now she has 10 listen on her Etsy, and let me tell you they are too cute! If you'd like to see swatcher for the other 7 polishes head on over to her Instagram!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Polish Review


Hi guys and dolls! Today I bring you a review for Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes. I received three polishes from Influenster for reviewing purposes so I am very excited to share them with you.
If you have seen the advertising for these, you have seen that there is 7 benefits in 1 bottle. The polish consists of a base coat and top coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color,  chip resistance, and a gel shine finish. How awesome is that? Use one of these polishes and you are done! 

The card that came with these (pictured below) states that women preferred these over Revlon and Essie nail polishes for color coverage, speed of application, streak free application, the brush, and the time saved. I do agree with these statements in full. Let me tell you why:

Color coverage: The color is great. These are super pigmented and only need two coats to have full coverage. Jaded was the only polish that applied very sheer, but with the second coat I had full coverage. 
Speed of application: Because these colors are greatly pigmented, application is fast! I did three strokes per coat and it was done. Usually with other polishes I need about 6 or more stokes to achieve a even and pigmented  coat.
Streak free application: The polishes went on very smooth on the first coat. I had no trouble with it being even. Absolutely no streak what so ever.
Brush: The brush in these polishes is great! These polishes have a flat brush, which helps make application so much easier and faster. If you've ever had a flat brush polish you know that it is the best!
Time saved: I don't think you really save too much time with these, but you do shave a couple minutes off doing your nails. Because this polish is pigmented, and the brush is flat, you finish much faster. In my opinion drying time is still the same.


 Jaded (540)
Two coats, flash. The picture is as true to the color as I could get it. This is such a pretty turquoise color. Unlike other turquoise color I have tried, this one was not streaky. 

 Pat on the Black (510)
Two coats, flash. This color is really dark in person. Unfortunately, my camera would not capture it in its true beauty. This is a deep purple, almost black.

Red My Lips (470)
Two coats, flash. As true to color as I could get it. This is a bright red with a hint of pink while still wet. It dried to a very beautiful shade of red.

I love that these apply thick. It is not globby or anything, just thick. It goes on smooth, and its just amazing. Have you tried these before? If so, what are your thoughts. I know I will definitely be purchasing some more!
