Hare Polish Amethystos over Sally Hansen Royal Purple Chrome Review

Happy Sunday everyone!! The review I have for you today is for Hare Polish Amethystos.  It is a medium purple jelly like base with different silver, pink & purple glitter. It is a beautiful polish alone in 3-4 coats or like I did it, over another similar color.  I chose a Sally Hansen Chrome polish called Royal Purple Chrome.  I chose this color because it's dark & I thought it would really bring out the sparkle in Amethystos, which it did wonderfully!!! I used 1 coat of the Sally Hansen Royal Purple Chrome & 2 coats of the Hare Polish Amethystos.  I had no issues with either polish. I really loved the Sally Hansen Chrome because it was so dark, it only took 1 coat to look great, where most polish takes 2 coats to look great.  The only issue I had with the Hare Polish was I wish the purple in it was a tad darker, otherwise the formula was great & it had just the right amount of glitter to where it looked even after 2 coats. I didn't have to dab it here & there like you have to do with some to make the glitter look even. Ok, let me add this too. I know my skin around my fingers looks terrible right now, lol. I need a manicure in the worst of ways.  I was so excited when I got the polish in the mail, I just painted it on without doing my manicure 1st.  Secondly, I'm not a professional at this. I do it becuase I love nail polish & I like to know what a polish looks like on nails before I buy it, so I figured in my spare time, I could do this for others & have some fun with people while I'm at it.  So, if you're looking for professional looking manicures & pictures, you've come to the wrong place!! If you're here to have fun while talking about nail polish & want an HONEST review of a product, then stick around & let's have some fun!! I think the results are beautiful, what do you think???

Julep Maven Review

Ok, this is my 1st review of products I recently used to do my nails.  I belong to Julep Maven & I am totally in love with their products!!! If you haven't heard of them, check them out here: Julep Maven  My 1st "sneek peek" box contained 2 bottles of Julep nail polish in the colors Anne & Maria, a 3oz tube of Julep Glow On Age Defying Hand Brightener & a foil sample of Julep Everyday SPF 30 Hand Cream. This post is going to be about the color Maria.  I will write a separate blog about Julep Maven & the other products mentioned in the near future :)
I've been using Avon Nail Experts silk wrap treatment for about 2 weeks.  I was having some trouble with my nails breaking & peeling so I thought I would give this a try.  It is working great so far.  You can get it from Avon.com or if you know an Avon representative, that way is great too.  I have an awesome Avon lady (Thanks Dee) After I used that I used 2 coats of Julep's Maria polish. It is metallic pink/mauve in color & I love it.  For the top coat I used Sally Hansen's Mega Shine Extended Wear Top Coat, which I absolutely can't be without.  It's a little pricey, but worth it.  It keeps my polish looking nice for the entire week!!!!  I have included pictures of what my nails look like today & I did the manicure last Thursday.  The Julep polish went on nice & smooth & I believe 1 coat would have been sufficient, but I'm a 2 coat kind of girl lol. You can look at the pics & let me know what you think!! I love getting feedback!! That's your chance to get hit with some Lacquer Love!!! Thanks for reading & as always Happy Polishing!!

I have no idea why, but blogger has for some reason eaten the rest of the pics I posted of this manicure. I'm new to this & I'm not even sure what I'm doing. If anyone has any ideas why this may have happened, please leave me a comment or send me an email!! I would so appreciate it!!
