Np2 Nail Polish set


Currently loving Np2 nail duos! Each tower of nail polish contains a gorgeous color coat and quick dry top coat. Genius idea. Top, base and color coat all in one stackable product.

I have Addiction on my nails in the below picture, which is a light pearly pink. I used the quick dry coat for a base, two coats of color, and then a clear coat for a top coat. It dried really quick, and I topped it off with some nail oil. This is a nice neutral color for work and travel. Color is going strong after 4 days, but may need to touch up tonight.

You can shop online at http://store.np2beauty.com/. They are priced at $22.50 a piece, which isn't bad for both a color and quick dry polish duo. You can break them apart and carry them separately too. These would make cute gifts. I'm already thinking about stocking stuffers. Or even bridal party gifts, and you can match the nail polish to the bridesmaids dresses!

Beauty Blogger Coalition Weekly Roundup




Polish & Co Nail Polish Review


I recently tested out Polish & Co nail polish in Dreamsicle (creamy orange) and Too Much Information  (bright pink). I'm really impressed with the quality and wear of this line! Not to mention the long applicator brush. I think it helps with neater application.

The swatch of my hand in Too Much Information doesn't do this color justice. It's a bright pink, and the picture makes it look a little orange. This manicure lasted about 5 days with a few minor touch ups. Not bad!


Remember, the color of 2012 is Orange! Dreamsicle on my toes was a nice pop of color to my outfits that week. Who says your 'pop' of color this season can't be on your toes?


Can't wait to check out the new line of colors Polish & Co has out for Fall.

    Anastasia Brow Wiz Review


    I've tried a lot of eyebrow pencils and eyebrow powders, and the Brow Wiz from Anastasia is one of my favorites. It gives a very natural look to brows that need a little bit of added color. I love the fact that the pencil allows you to draw on such precise fine lines, that "you" have the option as to how dramatic you want your brows to look. The lighter color (Ash Blonde) worked great at filling in my medium blonde brows. It doesn't smear and last up to 24 hours (even in the 90-100 degree heat waves that we have been having in Michigan). The handy spooley brush on the other end of the pencil helps to tame your brows as well as blending in the color. My brows look so full and natural now, almost as if they were done by a professional!
