My Thoughts:

I cannot tell you how many times I have stepped into a drugstore and saw Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color on display and wanted to try it out. I mean wouldn’t you be curious to what HD nail color looks like? Well, I was and finally gave in and bought it. Wowza! Love love love! The nail color really pops especially when the sunlight hits the color. I received so many compliments from strangers when I was strolling down Main St. at the beach. Talk about attention getter. Two coats is all you need to acheive the color in the bottle. It lasted about a week before the nail color started to chip. All the shades are really bold and vibrant. I think my next Sally Hansen HD Hi-Definition Nail Color purchase will be in Cyber Frost. Perfect for the upcoming Fall season.

My Thoughts:

As you can tell from the picture below, I own quite a number of Revlon Nail Enamel. I can’t help it. They are so good! Plus, there are always BOGO sales. Revlon Nail Enamel colors tend to run in the red/pink family. Your classic nail polish colors. These polishes go on creamy, smooth and the brush is very easy control. One coat will give you a wash of sheer color. Two coats is perfect and will get you the color you want. I find Revlon Nail Enamel chips a lot less than most other polishes on the market. I wish Revlon made other hues instead of reds and pinks. Other than that minor complaint, it’s one of my favorite brands of polishes.

My Revlon Nail Enamel Collection:

I recently had the priviledge of trying Revlon Runway Collection, Revlon’s new artificial nails collection. I’ve never applied artifical nails before, so trying out Revlon’s artificial nails was a new experience for me.

Revlon Runway Collection comes with 24 nails in 12 different sizes, glue, a buffer, and a manicure stick. On the back of the box are easy-to-follow directions on how to apply and remove the articifial nails. I was a little worried about the nails fitting, because my fingers and nails are long and slender (difficult to see in the picture below). But, because it came with 12 different sizes, finding the right fit for each nail was pretty easy. Applying glue to my nails and the artificial nails was also pretty easy and surprisingly not that messy. If a little bit of glue leaked out between my nail and the artificial  nail, I just used the manicure stick to wipe off the excess glue. Even though the directions on the box said to press down on the nail for 5 seconds, I found it looked better if I pressed down for 10 seconds.

I’m wearing Revlon Runway Collection articificial nails in “Starlet.” For a first timer, I think they look pretty decent. I must admit, though, I made a little mistake when applying the nails. Can you tell what the mistake is? I chose a nail that was slightly too big for my middle finger. Silly me. Overall, I found applying the artificials nails to be quick and easy. It’s a great alternative to getting your nails done at a nail salon and much cheaper too!
