Beauty Finds That Won't Break The Bank - Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish (New Product!)







Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish

Color: Rosey Riviter (180) & Top Coat (100)

Approx. Price: $9.99 Each


I was really excited about this product when I saw it at the store.  I love to get my nails done, whether it's getting it done professionally, or giving myself an at-home manicure. I've had my share of gel manicures, and I usually start out being really happy with it, until the color starts to chip.  Then my nails turn really ugly, and I can't stop myself from picking at it. Before I can get myself to the nail salon, most of the gel are already off, and my nails are super fragile :(

When I saw this product on display at Walgreens, I decided to check it out.  It says, "No Light" or "Sans Lampe" all over the cap. It's a NO UV/LED gel nail polish that only requires the use of their miracle top coat.  It supposedly can last up to 14 days, and can be removed with your regular nail polish remover.  How can I walk away from that right?

I checked out their colors, and this rosy pink color caught my eyes.  I painted my nails last night, and it looks just like the color in the bottle.  I love it!  They have over 45 shades available, and I think they do have a special 2-bottle set available at certain stores, but I didn't see it at my local Walgreens.  There is no special instruction for this, it's just like regular nail polish.  Just make sure you buy the top coat along with your color(s).  The instruction said to apply two coats of nail polish, but I would actually suggest three, especially if the color is light and if you see it streaking a bit.  I would also try to let the nail polish dry in between each coat.  Definitely let the nails dry completely before using the top coat, otherwise it might smudge when you apply the top coat and ruin everything.  I think that's pretty much all that you need to pay attention to.  This is technically the first full day since I painted my nails, and so far so good.  I will definitely update this post to let you know how long my nail color lasted before it starts chipping.

Note: The top coat is definitely not as shiny as the professional gel nails, but it didn't really bother me that much. It's not the most perfect gel manicure that you can get, but for a d.i.y. manicure...it's not bad.

For the price and convenience of an at-home gel mani, I would give this product





Update on my nails:

Well, it's day 4!  My nail colors finally started to chip a little bit around the edges.  I haven't been babying them or anything...so I'm pretty satisfied with the result so far.  

Nails on Day #4

Oh So Cute! Disney Tsum Tsum Lip Smacker Lip Balm Collection

How many lip balms can anyone really use? - probably not that many, but how can you resist these cute Disney Tsum Tsum lip balms?  The suggested retail price is about $4.95 each, which is not bad until you realized that you can't just buy one and not the others.  I ended up walking out of the store with 4 super adorable lip balms, and $20 less in my wallet...but it's all worth it (I think) These lip balm pots are formulated to moisturize and leave a translucent shine on your lips.  They are also considered collectible items with 4 special edition flavors.  I don't know how long they will be available for purchase,  but I did find mine at a local Walgreens recently.  I'm pretty sure you can check out other major drugstores around your city, or visit Lip Smacker online to buy them.  I hope they will come out with more characters in the future. <3 Mickey: Marshmallow Pop Minnie: Strawberry Lollipop Winnie the Pooh: Honey Pot Stitch: Bluebe...

Mise En Scene Hello Bubble Foam Color (7N Mocha Latte) Review

Oh my gosh, I think this is my favorite Mise En Scene Hello Bubble Foam Color so far.  The last couple of times that I decided to dye my hair, I went with the redder shades, they came out nice, but harder to see under certain lighting. For this coming fall/autumn, I decided to go brown. I bought the Hello Bubble Foam Color in 7N Mocha Latte which came in the new "Girl's Day" packaging-I'm actually not sure who they are, but I'm guessing they are a K-pop group. This product is definitely one of my all time favorite! This box came with all the usual Hello Bubble Foam Color components; it included the hair colorant, a hair coloring cape/cover, a pair of gloves, and a small packet of conditioner (I prefer to use my own). From looking at the before and after photos on the box, I did not expect the color to be very noticeable on my hair.  The color itself seemed a little too dark to have any effect on my already dark hair.   To my surprise, this color gave me the ...

Cute Contact Lens Cases

I recently found these cute little contact lens cases while shopping online.  If you want to keep your contact lenses from getting mixed up with someone else's or if you simply like cute stuff, then this might be a great product for you. They can get a bit expensive, depending on the retailer that you shop with---price can range from $4-9. The frog case is actually from Forever21 and the other two cases are from Kikkerland (but you might want to shop around, other stores do carry them.) I personally think that they are really cute and they manage to put a smile on my face whenever I see them.  What do you think?
