Ruby Kisses - Neon Green

Neon Green


I found this nail polish at a beauty supply store and have not seen this brand anywhere else, so I am assuming it is only available at select beauty supply stores. It was very affordable with a retail price of $1.99.


The name of this polish may through some people off because it is not exactly a neon green, it is more of an earthy and leafy green, which is why I love it. I had been searching for a color like this for months and then finally came across this one. Unfortunately, the formula for this polish is not that great. I would recommend at least three coats to get an even finish. The color is really great though and I will continue to look for a color that is similar to this.

China Glaze - Twinkle Lights

China Glaze - Twinkle Lights


China Glaze Twinkle Lights is part of the 2011 Holiday collection and I have to say it's my favorite polish from the collection! The polish is a clear base packed with a metallic green, red, and gold glitter. This literally is the epitome of a Christmas nail polish! It has all the Christmas colors in one polish. I wish the camera could really capture the beauty of this polish because it has a foil finish to it! It sparkles so much too. I needed 4 coats of this polish. It does apply unevenly at times so you will need a few coats to get an even finish.





I added 3 pictures in different lights so you can truly see how beautiful this polish is :)

Sinful Colors - Snow Me White

Snow Me White - Sinful Colors Professional



Snow Me White is your typical white nail polish, with a creme finish. The only problem I had with this polish was that it applies a bit streaky if you don't get much product on the brush. Other than that, it was great because it's a true white color. I needed 3 coats of this polish. Again Sinful Colors Professional is such an affordable line of polishes with an amazing color selection. ( I chose this polish for our Countdown to Christmas because you can use this white polish as a base for glitter polishes! I will definitely be doing this in future posts =D )

Sinful Colors - Last Chance

Sinful Colors Professional: Last Chance



Last Chance is such a perfect green varnish for Christmas. It truly reminds me of a Christmas tree! This varnish is also a creme finish, which I personally love. You can find Sinful Colors Professional polishes at Rite Aid, Target, and beauty supply stores. Now what I love about Sinful Colors is first, they only cost $1.99 and they create dupe collections for OPI!

Milani - Gold Jewel FX

Gold Jewel FX



This polish is absolutely stunning. It has a "mirror" finish therefore in some areas in the picture it may seem as though you could see my bare nail but in reality it's all glitter. The best part is that i achieved this look with just one coat! When applying this polish, it's best to push around the glitter to place it where you want it otherwise the glitters will just slide off while applying. This spectacular nail polish will look great with any skin tone and it will surely catch peoples attention.

Milani - Ruby Jewels

Ruby Jewels




Milani nail polishes retail for about $3.99. You can find them at drug stores and several beauty supply stores. I love their polishes because they are easy to apply and dry quickly. I love this specific color because the micro glitters mixed in with the red tint really give the look of a ruby.

China Glaze - Party Hearty


China Glaze - Party Hearty

This polish is from the 2010 holiday collection. It has the perfect combination of holiday colors.



As you can see this polish goes on clear (it has no tint to it). I had to do several coats to get this finish. I suggest using a light silver as a base color to get a nicer finish, it will blend in really well with the tiny silver glitters and enhance the red and green.
