NOTD: Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Sunkissed

Two coats of Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in Sunkissed. Bright Orange Creme.

Y'all know that orange isn't my typical color craving; but I saw this pretty and picked it up on impulse because I need more orange in my life.

Sunkissed is the quintessential final days of summer shade - being bright and sultry enough for July through August; while crisp enough for those first days of fall. Formula here was fantastic! It applies evenly with minimal fuss, and reaches perfect opacity in jut two swipes. Definitely a new fave in my polish wardrobe!

NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color in Bubble Gum

Two coats of Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color in Bubble Gum. Neon Barbie Pink Creme.

I'm a Barbie girl, in my Barbie world... Not gonna lie, I went through a little pink burnout from the amount of pinks that popped up in the spring collections; but this beauty right here made me fall in love all over again.

Bubble Gum looks exactly the way it sounds...like yummy, pop princess-esque bubble gum! Formula here was fab! Not too thin, not too think; it applies seamlessly and leaves behind a scrummy, high-shine finish. Love this one for tips and toes!

NOTD: China Glaze Body & Sol Summer Nail Lacquer Collection in Glow-Worthy

Two coats of China Glaze Body & Sol Summer Nail Lacquer Collection in Glow-Worthy. Caramel Gold with Silver and Gold Holographic Glitter.

Le sigh...I'm not typically one for gold or metallics, but this bad boy is bringing all of the summer feels.

Glow-Worthy is a brilliant shade for those summer months. Though different than the usual brights we see when the weather warms up; the silver holo throughout creates a sand-inspired look that is TDF! Formula here was fabulous! You can easily get away with one coat, but two really ups the dimension. Love this one!

Buttered Popcorn is a Milky Yellow Crelly w/ Gold Glitter. OMG babes this shade is TDF! Buttered Popcorn is such a fun neutral shade w flare that feels so fresh for spring! At one coat you can use it as a confetti-like topper over another base shade; but at three coats you get this glam opacity! The formula here is good - drying fast between layers so application doesn't feel gloppy; while the combo of pale yellow + glittering gold perfectly captures the look of yummy, scrummy, buttery popcorn! This is 3 coats.

Bubble Gum is a Neon Barbie Pink Creme. I'm a Barbie girl, in my Barbie world... Not gonna lie, I went through a little pink burnout from the amount of pinks that popped up in the spring collections; but this beauty right here made me fall in love all over again. Bubble Gum looks exactly the way it sounds...like yummy, pop princess-esque bubble gum! Formula here was fab! Not too thin, not too think; it applies seamlessly and leaves behind a scrummy, high-shine finish. Love this one for tips and toes! This is 2 coats.

Two coats of MOSCHINO + SEPHORA Liquid Polish in White. White Creme.

Y'all know that I've never met a white polish that I didn't like; so obvs I had to pick this bad boy up from the Moschino x Sephora collab.

Simply titled White this is a heavenly hue that captured my heart in 0.2 seconds. The formula is a sliiiight mix of runny and thick; but it's super simple to work with, and levels beautifully on. its. own. Positively obsessed - and that white out inspired packaging is the cutest thing ever!

NOTD: Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color in Berry Blue

One coat of Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color in Berry Blue. Bright Blue Creme.

Y'all I love a bright blue for summer, so Berry Blue caught my attention like whoa! This bad boy is a glorious bright that would look amaze on tips or toes. My one complaint? I find that Sally Hansen brushes are an absolute pain to work with. They absorb too much polish, which then drips and causes a huge mess. That said...Berry Blue was a OCW, so as long as you remember to wipe the brush excessively on the lip of the bottle before application you're golden!

Tempest is THE shade you needin your life for summer! It mimics the look of the ocean; but has this decadent purple glow in certain light. The formula is on the thin side;, but incredibly easy to work with and buildable. I'm obsessed. Bravo Ciate!

NOTD: OPI Nail Lacquer in You're Such A Budapest

Four coats of OPI Nail Lacquer in You're Such A Budapest. Periwinkle Purple Creme.

This color! Babes, I'm basically speechless.

You're Such A Budapest is a beautiful periwinkle hue that is a total lemming in my personal collection {which makes it a new fave}. Though the formula is seamless to work for, building beautifully; the one downside is the amount of coats necessary for opacity. Yes, I needed 4 coats to reach this level of pretty, which was a pain, but, ultimately, worth it!

Sally Hansen Insta Dri x Jelly Belly Nail Color Duo Pack in Hoppily Ever After

I haven't purchased Sally Hansen polish in what feels like forever; but I absolutely could not resist their collab with Jelly Belly for Easter! The colors are so fresh + fun for spring; while perfectly capturing the playful vibes of Jelly Belly jellybeans! Today I'm sharing the Hoppily Ever After duo; but I'll be bringing the Bunny and Sunny duo over the next few weeks. Ready to spring forward into the swatches?

Tutti-Fruitti is a Milky Pink Crelly with Rainbow-Colored Glitter. If you want to bring a whole lotta fun to your fingernails you cannot go wrong with this cutie! Tutti-Fruitti is an explosion of color in the form of a sparkle fest! The base is a milky pale pink that builds with multiple coats, or is virtually transparent if you use only a single coat {if you're layering it over another shade}; while the multi-sized glitter is a pure party! Formula is flawless - the glitter disperses perfectly on its own without requiring a pick + choose method; while the subdued base shade really allows the sparkle to stand front and center. Loving this one! This is 3 coats.

Berry Blue is a Bright Blue Creme Creme. Y'all I love a bright blue for summer, so Berry Blue caught my attention like whoa! This bad boy is a glorious bright that would look amaze on tips or toes. My one complaint? I find that Sally Hansen brushes are an absolute pain to work with. They absorb too much polish, which then drips and causes a huge mess.

Is it purple or is it pink?

Arigato From Tokyo is anotha stunna from the Tokyo collection. Not gonna lie, I feel like this shade would work better in a fall collection; however, that's just my personal preference so what-ever. Formula here, as with all of the Tokyo shades, is flawless. I wanted a more plush look, if you will, so I went for two coats; but you could easily get away with just one. Huzzah!

OPI Spring 2019 Tokyo Collection Mini Nail Lacquer Set Swatches + Review

Okay babes, a few weeks ago I shared the OPI Spring 2019 Tokyo Collection Mini Infinite Shine 5 Piece Set with y'all, and today I'm bringing you an {even more stunning} extension of those pretties with the OPI Spring 2019 Tokyo Collection Mini Nail Lacquer Set! While the former had a rainbow of shades to choose from; this particular quartet is all about the pink, and I, for one, am so here for it! Let's get to the swatches!

All Your Dreams in Vending Machines is a Metallic Electric Pink. Ooh babes this color is fire! Sooo...from the bottle I thought All Your Dreams in Vending Machines was going to be more purple than pink; but on the nail this beauty is a mind-blowing metallic electric pink with a cool blue shift that is unbelievable! Formula is flawless - it applies like a dream {no pooling in the cuticles], and dries lightning fast so you can be on. your. way in a flash. This is one shade you can't skip! This is 2 coats.

Arigato From Tokyo is a Medium Pink Creme. Is it purple or is it pink? Arigato From Tokyo is anotha stunna from the Tokyo collection. Not gonna lie, I feel like this shade would work better in a fall collection; however, that's just my personal preference so what-ever. Formula here, as with all of the Tokyo shades, is flawless. I wanted a more plush look, if you will, so I went for two coats; but you could easily get away with just one. Huzzah! This is 2 coats.

Another Ramen-tic Evening. Pink Lilac Creme. Can we just take note of the fact that OPI went hard with the names of these polishes when they created this collection? Like wowza I dig it! Another Ramen-tic Evening is billed as a dusty rose creme; but it def reads more pinky lilac on the nail - which I absolutely l-o-v-e for spring! The formula here is a liiittle runny, but still incredibly easy to work with, and v easy to build. If you were a fan of OPI's Getting Nadi On My Honeymoon you'll love this one! This is 2 coats.

Rice Rice Baby is a Mauve Pink Creme. Sooooo... typically I reach for mauve shades during the chilly fall, sweater weather months; but I'm actually liking this one as a break between brights for summer. Rice Rice Baby is a muted mauve pink that seamlessly falls into the neutral, your-nails-but-better category. It's feminine and playful; yet ultra sophisticated with a touch of sass. The formula is absolutely brilliant - smooth and sumptuous, with the ability to be a OCW if you apply with a heavier hand. Highly recommend! This is 2 coats.

AVAILABILITY: Amazon and Nordstrom Rack.

PRICE: $15.90 {Amazon} or $9.97 {Nordstrom Rack} for the 4PC Mini Set; 10.50 for each full-size bottle.

I've been on a pink-to-dark-berry binge lately, so I was super excited to try this bright beauty on for size - and not just because the name is tdf!

I'm On a Sushi Roll is a must. have. for the warmer months! The bright tone is eye-catching + playful; while the formula is the absolute bomb to work with! Not gonna lie, it's thinner than I expected so you def need at least two coats; but the pigmentation and staying power make it so worth it!

Samurai Breaks A Nail is one of the v few purple hues that has ever caught my eye; but that blue and red microshimmer throughout is on another level. Not gonna lie here, the formula is quite thin, so you def need a triple layer to keep it from looking patchy; but that little bit of extra effort is 100% worth it. Must have!

This one is incredibly sheer at coat one; however, it builds beautifully to the opaque pretty you see here. Be mindful of dry time - since you're applying three coats, you do have to allow a longer amount of time for drying...but it's worth it!
