Fourth of July Nails!

Hey guys sorry for the late post with my nails. I'm just gonna have the pictures of individual nails not much to say, hope you had a great Fourth of July though!

 sorry I took pictures after wearing it all yesterday so it's chipped.. idk how it chipped back there but it did :/

 the colors I used (left to right) were, sephora Myrtille L34, Essie Aruba Blue, Milani Gems, Essie After Sex, and then Sephora's it-girl L25. OH and the base is Essie's Blanc! That is my go to white, does anybody have a better suggestion? I love all of these polishes, the sephora's are like one coat if you use them for a full mani and aruba blue and after sex have a very similar finish and I really love them. I used my Milani Gems instead of Deborah Lippmann Happy Birthday because I like to use it for fun mani's instead of wasting my Happy Birthday.

This was just a fun mani nothing special nor spectacular but I hope you enjoy it :) I just used a simple nail art brush, and my dotting tools to move and decorate my nails. If you have any questions feel free to comment below, tweet me {@positvpolished} or email me at positivelypolished@hotmail.com :)

Random Polish and Frankens

Hi guys! Well since I haven't gotten any suggestions really this is another random post with some cool polishes I have and some frankens I've made, no swatches this time just bottle pictures but maybe I'll get some suggestions soon?? :) By the way in all these pictures I am wearing Deborah Lippmann's "Call Me Irresponsible"

This is a Chinese Sephora Polish my friend brought me from China! I just took pictures of the bottle so you could see how the tags are different and stuff

These are just a bunch of my frankens, if you would like me to swatch these please give me feed back!

I've also been able to aquire a few special polishes! China Glaze's "Channelesque", and Chanel's "Black Pearl" and "Paradoxal". If you are interested in China Glaze's Channelesque I might be able to find some more, just email me at positivelypolished@hotmail.com for more information.

Mish Mosh Post with Swatches, Lemming, Tip, and Old Nail Art Fail

Hey Guys,

sorry I am not a daily poster, it just gets hard sometimes. I am beyond frustrated. I have all of these wonderful swatches I have been working on but I have just deleted a bunch and I've just decided to delete the pictures I have blogged about... I mean.. I am not getting any good techniques that work for me here and I feel that might be just the easiest thing to do. Also I am going on a trip soon so I won't be posting as much so I am just going to do a few posts and set them to post on their own but if it doesn't work out I am apologizing ahead of time. So today I am just posting some lousy nail art that I tried out and forgot to post with my other post about Essie's Pretty Edgy and Sephora's Picnic in the Park and a random swatch of my first and only color club color Electric Coral.

I used (from right to left) Q-Art Paint Green 36, Finger Paints Scarlet's Paint!, and Art Club (Color Club) NA1 White.

sorry for the yellow lighting- ps... this is like my first nail art and fail attempt at a strawberry so don't be too harsh :)

Moving on to the Electric Coral from Coral Club (also with Nail art Strawberry)

it came out to pink here:

Well after the over dose of pictures on that swatch (sorry I just love that color). Let me talk about it a little bit. haha. This was my first experience with Color Club and let me just tell you ... I'm hooked. It was smooth and was nice in 2-3 coats which is great for such a pretty pink neon jelly like this. I have A TON of neon pinks... more than an average person should, and this one still stands out... I will do a comparison soon not to worry.

Here is a pedicure. If you do not like pedicures I left a little room so you don't see. Just skip em'... my feet look EXTRA nasty here... sorry.

I have Essie Marshmallow on my toes and I am sorry I can't even remember the colors I used to Konad my big toes... it was like a bunch of my little polishes. I have like the most prehistoric Konad kit known to man. This is like the first edition and I almost never use it I just got it when I was little because I thought it was cool. I only have three plates, the 3 mini colors it came with, the basic stamper, and the blade. Yup that is all, period. I am a fail of a nail blogger in the Konad'ing sense. This is the m3 Plate.

Second to last thing I swear... man this is a HUGE post!

Well I wanted to reshape my nails like last night but I always make them crooked and I had remembered I had read this uber great article with a bunch of tips and tricks on Lacquerized (AKA possibly the best nail blog on the face of this earth, sorry ALU). It said it was better to file nails with dark polish so you could see what you were doing... so I dug up some nasty dark blue that was kind of icky and just slapped it on the ends of my nails and voila! GENIUS! *angels sing* my nails are actually.... dare I say... NOT CROOKED! They look better than they ever have considering I dig the nubbins look. Click here for the article on how to shape your nails!

So a picture of my slapped on paint:

PS. this is in the middle of the filing of my nails.

Last thing I want to talk about...

I am massively craving the new Milani color "dress maker" that is the Chanel Jade dupe! Like tomorrow my goal is to hit up every CVS in Florida till I find it. P.S. if you just asked yourself what Dress Maker is or who Lacquerized is I want to invite you to crawl out from that rock you have been living under to direct you to this link where the wonderful Steph has so beautifully swatched it for us and compared it to other rumored dupes of Chanel Jade- LINK! LOOK AT THIS BEAUTY- . I was pretty young when Jade came out so ... yes I understand why my mother didn't get it for me... but ... it's even my middle name... yes Sabrina Jade... ughh I can't blame her.. she wouldn't buy me a 25 dollar polish not even if she was drugged... and I wouldn't either... well unless I had way more money... then that might be different.

Well.... I think I have babbled enough for tonight. I hope you enjoyed the post, and I didn't bore you to death. Please comment with your opinion on this post and my blog and please feel free to shoot me an email at positivelypolished@hotmail.com about anything, a review, question, REQUESTS PLEASEE!, or even to tell me that you don't like me haha.

Well good night, peace love polish!

Overdue Green Comparison+Shout Out

Hey guys sorry I have left you hanging! I swear I have so many pictures but I have no idea how to organize them so I've had to re-swatch some because I just don't even know which is which now (:/)... dang. Other bloggers out there, how do you organize your pictures? PLEASE HELP ME! Comment below or email me at positivelypolished@hotmail.com!

But I do have one comparison that was long overdue (I had to re-swatch this one). It is Sephora's -Picnic in The Park- (click on it and find review on that polish specifically) compared to Essie's -Pretty Edgy- that came out with the Summer 2010 collection. Karen D. specifically commented bellow my review of Sephora's PITP and asked for a comparison. She has a great blog and you guys should definitely check it out. She didn't even ask me for the shout out I just clicked on her profile to see if she was also a fellow blogger. Also I have tried to do this comparison twice but it just always comes out terrible for me... so seeing as she did it so lovely please check it out on her blog (link)See! I do listen to you guys and read all the comments! I love to get requests and comments so keep 'em coming! And I always check if you guys have blogs that are cool even if you don't ask me too and I will always give you shout outs because I know how much help it is :)

Okay sorry I had to stop myself and get to the pictures haha

^This is one coat of the PITP over my infamous brucci base coat. I just put this on there so you could see how opaque the PITP is and so you could finally see that Brucci is kind of streaky but it is nice because it makes colors a little more vibrant. darn... I should have done one with like clear base coat...

I am showing you the brushes and bottles I have a mini essie and the sephora is the regular size

swatches (two coats each)- index+ring are PITP middle+pinky are pretty edgy

As you guys can see PITP definitely has more of a blue undertone compared to Pretty Edgy which has a yellow undertone. I love them both but I think that PITP compliments my skin tone better so I am happy I didn't end up getting Pretty Edgy in a big bottle. Now I am starting to wonder if PITP is a lighter version of Jade is The New Black from OPI... I have been dying to get that color so maybe if I can get my hands on it at a supply for cheaper I will compare it.

thanks for reading! Please comment, write me an email, request colors, even write me a comment/email as a review telling me what you love/hate/like/dont care/ dislike about my blog!

Sephora Picnic in the Park

This is a previous mani from a while ago that I really enjoyed, I was going to do it again to post but then i found these pictures I took. I really like this color, it's different from Essie's "pretty edgy" but if you guys want a comparison I am more than willing :) [comment below if you do]. Oh and before I continue my ditzy ramblings, this is Sephora's picnic in the park L13. It is one of the small bottles that look like little m&m's almost :D haha. I put a picture of what the bottle would look like just below this [obviously it's the bottle not the color... because well yeah... DUH. ]

I hope you enjoyed this post, please comment with opinions and requests!
