Cosmetic Arts Frenzy

Hiiii!

Ok...so first I must apologize for not blogging for like 2 weeks.  Shame on me! I've just been very busy and haven't really made the time to post, buuuut I have something very pretty for you today that I did a while back.  I hope you like it. :)

Introducing Cosmetic Arts frenzy (I think).  I found this at Ross Dress for Less a couple of weeks ago for $2.99!! Ross gets a variety of different professional polishes in every now and then (including Color Club, Cosmetic Arts and Borghese), and after finding out that Cosmetic Arts is made by the same company as Color Club I had to try it! Ross always has awesome pricing on their polishes, but the downside is that they never have labels, which can be very frustrating! After a little bit of research though, I am 99% confident that this is "Frenzy".

Frenzy is a beautiful, bright purple creme that applied with pretty good coverage after two coats, but I added a third for good measure.  I also added a bundle monster stamp from their new collection (BM 203) using Sally Hansen's insta-dri whirlwind white. This design kind of reminds me of a bottle cap, so I shall name this mani "Grape Pop".

Okie dokie then, that's it! :) I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.

Finger Paints Chroma Coral

Happy Friday Everybody!

Today I chose to review Finger Paints Chroma Coral which I just recently bought at Sally's when I was visiting one of my good friends in Oregon.  I was sooooo happy to get to visit a Sally's as there are none where I live, so it was an awesome treat and I got some really sweeeet polishes! 

I LOVE the Finger Paints brand, and wish I would have bought some more while I was in Oregon.  I bought two FP polishes, Chroma Coral and Guggen I'm Lime, which I thought would be a nice addition to my brights.  Boy was I right!  I love how they are both sooooo bright, yet shimmery at the same time.  I will definitely have to review Guggen I'm Lime later. :)

Chroma Coral is very pigmented and has a goldish shimmer to it.  I applied 3 thin coats and wore it for about 4 days with no chipping, which I think is pretty good considering I was doing dishes and what-not. I love the bling that I used in the manicure, and feel like it is a fun twist for a summer-y color.  

Enjoy! 

I know the shimmeries aren't showing up that well, but trust me, they're there! :D

What do you think about Finger Paints Polish? Are there any colors that you've been really happy (or unhappy) about?

Well I hope you all have a good Holiday weekend! :D I'm hoping I'll get a cute 4th of July manicure up soon.
