Nails of the Day: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in Pacific Blue!

Two Coats of Sally Hansen Pacific Blue

Sally Hansen Pacific Blue is a bright, royal-blue cream polish with a shiny finish. It's almost a cross between royal blue and periwinkle blue. There are so many different shades of blue, and this particular shade is at the top of my list. I think it's a great summer shade, especially with the current "pop of neon" trend. This shade goes particularly well with neon yellow. 

When I think of neon yellow, I think of this Cambridge bag I've been lusting over for the past few months. But I can't help but think that I'll probably never wear again after the summer. What do you think?

Here's a comparison to what I'd call true blue. Note the difference?

Application with this polish is pretty good. It applies evenly and almost completely opaque with one coat. If you're an impatient gal, you could definitely get away with one coat of this polish. I opted for two for full opacity and a shiny top coat. I did notice with the second coat the polish seemed slightly thick. I may add a couple drops of thinner to the bottle.

Absolutely love this shade and I'm sure I'll be wearing it all summer long.

What's on your nails?

Happy Easter!

Wishing you all days filled with love, happiness and hope.

Happy Easter!

Also, if you haven't heard of ebates by now, I always make sure to use ebates when ordering from Sephora to receive money back on all of my purchases. Right now, you'll get 8.0% cash back on your purchase with Sephora! All you basically do, is search Sephora, and click the referral link which will bring you to the Sephora website. Shop as usual, and your ebates account will track your purchase and will be credited the 8%, which you can then transfer to your paypal account. It sounds more confusing than it really is.

Pretty sweet deal.

Unfortunately, for regular Beauty Insiders, yesterday was the final day to make a purchase and receive 15% off.

*To be a VIB with Sephora, you have to spend $350+ online or in-store in one calendar year, using your Beauty Insider card.

I have yet to purchase anything - hopefully I can get an order in by the end of the day. Anything you think I should get?

A little patience, please.

After two days of messing around with my new camera (crying in frustration for one of those days) I've come to the conclusion that the Nikon Coolpix P500 isn't for me. Don't get me wrong, it's a really awesome camera. It takes very clear and crisp photos of just about everything.. except my makeup products. No matter how much I tried, the color accuracy was off. It was accurate when photographing scenery and people, but when it comes to photographing my lipsticks - nope, no good. My pink lipsticks looked peach and when everything in person looked nice and bright, it photographed dull and neutral. My previous camera photographed everything as I saw it in person.

So now I'm kind of ambivalent about what I should do now. Return this thing and invest a couple hundred dollars more and get a Canon Rebel? Or, just buy another Canon Powershot for the time being.

Anyway, I have so many products that I want to review, but haven't tested them out yet because I want to photograph them first. It's really killing me not to bust open one of these Revlon Lip Butters.

Hopefully I'll get this all figured out very soon as I have so many posts in store for you all!
