Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Week (pink gradient)

Turns out I had one too many pink manis prepared so I had to pick which I wanted to post. I decided on this sparkly pink gradient.

Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Week (Rimmel Electric Pink)

Today we'll start off with the fact of the day:

Now on to the polish, this is Rimmel Electric Pink. This is the only Rimmel I own and I've never tested if it actually lasts 10 days but I wouldn't mind scooping up a few more Rimmel polishes given the chance. This is two coats, topped with Finger Paints Twisted. This polish is probably best for jelly sandwiches particularly during the summer months (right Amanda?)

Brand: Rimmel
Collection: Lasting Finish Pro
Color Name/Number: Electric Pink/320
Finish: shimmer (shown with flakies)
Number of Coats: 2
Top Coat: no

Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Week (Sally Hansen Pink Satin)

This is a pink that looks better in the bottle than on the nails but at least the brushstrokes weren't too bad with this chrome metallic. This is Sally Hansen Pink Satin. There were no problems with application and I didn't do any tricks to minimize brushstrokes. I want to say I only used 1 coat but I don't remember. I've read that this is a dupe for butter London Fairy Lights, so that's cool.

Today's fact of the day...

Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Week (Sinful Colors Bianca)

Today I am revisiting a pink I haven't used (shown) in a while. The first time I showed it here, was shortly after I decided to focus my blog on nail polish in 2011. Only this time I'm using it on its own despite the nail line. Sinful Colors Bianca is a creamy cool tone pink jelly polish, shown here is two coats without a top coat. I've forgot all about this polish but I think I should use it in a jelly sandwich very soon.

Brand: Sinful Colors

Color name: Bianca

Line: Core collection (?)

number of coats: 2

Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Week (Twinsie Tuesday)

Hey everyone! This Tuesday, I'm combining Twinise Tuesday with Pink Week. The Twinsie theme is "most hated trend". I try to try each trend at least once (except duck nails or any other weird shaped nail, no way am I trying that) and give each of them their fair chance. So it's a little hard to settle on a hated trend. While trying to incorporate pink into my hated trend, I narrowed it down to a half moon. Then took it a step forward and made it a crackle half moon. Although crackle can be a nice touch at times. My pink is Sinful Colors Cabana and my crackle is OPI Superbass.

Breast Cancer Awareness - Pink Week (Revlon Posh Pink)

Day 2 of Pink Week! Here's the second fact...that's a scary number. Early detection is key. Please do your self exams.

For today's pink polish, I decided to revisit some pinks I haven't used in awhile. This is Revlon Posh Pink. This is a medium toned Barbie pink with a touch of shimmer that gives it a "pearly" look. It's not one of my favorite pinks which is why I topped it with Sally Hansen Strobe Light.

While using Strobe Light I remembered, I've been wanting to compare a few of my pink glitters. Shown below is one coat of each over black: OPI Teenage Dream, Sally Hansen Strobe Light and Sinful Colors Show Stopping. What they all have in common is the hexagonal irrdescent glitters and smaller micro glitters. Teenage Dream is on the thick side, more dense and could be worn on its own with VNL. Strobe Light appears to have some micro square glitters. Show Stopping is the most sparse of the three, this would be best for "melting" a gradient together.
