2 for 1: Nail Edition

First week of big girl life complete! I've got to say, I'm feeling good! It's hard to get my act together to post after work but I'm gonna try and make it happen people! I have some fun nail polish pictures for you guys!

I am so into this adorable pink glitter manicure! Obviously, I'm not the first one to do this (click!), but it's such an easy and cute way to add interest to a subdued manicure.

I used my beloved Lilac Pastelle polish by Revlon, some really old loose cosmetic glitter from Adrene (I just knew that would come in handy some day) and a good top coat. I switched up my Seche Vite for Sally Hansen Insta Dry because, while Seche Vite has an amazing finish, it would literally make the nail polish peel off the nails by the third day. So far, so good for the Insta Dry! All of the super fast drying shinyness without the peeling.

On another note, I had my very first Asian cosmetics experience! A lot of Asian brands and products are getting huge buzz in the beauty community right now because of their amazing quality and I was anxious to give a few things a try. I went to C&C Cosmetics (http://www.cnccanada.com/) which is, as far as I know, the only place in Montreal licensed to sell this stuff. I can't give you guys an opinion on most of the products yet, but I did get a chance to try The Face Shop's lilac nail polish (shown in the picture above).

Sorry about my cuticles guys! At 3.99$, I am blown away by the quality of this product . It's everything I had hoped Essie's Lilacism would be. Beautiful lilac colour that doesn't give me dead body hands, and completely opaque in two coats. So far so good.
Hope you guys enjoyed another 2 for 1! Have an awesome Saturday!
