CND® Fedora & Plum Paisley

Today I have just a couple CND® Shellac® polishes to show you. These will be great shades to transition into fall! You can't go wrong with colors like these. 

Rich and pigmented! Just right for some cool fall nights!

CND® Shellac® is a professional product to be applied by a professional for you and the health of your nails. 

Plum Paisley & Fedora 

Fedora 

A super deep wine cream polish. It almost looks brown, but as you can see in the swatch it pulls some red and purple.

Plum Paisley 

A deep plum cream with subtle multidimensional shimmer throughout. 

I think these are great fall colors! Make sure to ask your nail professional for CND® Shellac® at your next appointment!

Mentality Gel polish

Mentality indie polish has come out with an FDA approved gel polish. I got to try it out, and I have some photos for you below to check out. 

Not sure exactly how much these sale for, but you can check out Mentality's website (direct link below)

These coats need to be cured under a UV or LED lamp.
Cures in 45secs per coat in a LED lamp or 2 minutes in a UV lamp.

Basecoat, Scandal, & Topcoat

Basecoat, Scandal, & Topcoat

Scandal 

A very pretty bright pink super holographic polish! 

I cured mine for about 45 seconds per coat in my LED lamp. I have to be honest mine got very hot and I had to take my hand out of the lamp both times on the color coats. I had an intense heat sensation on my nails.

I was using a BRAND spanking new LED lamp, and had just swatched some other gel polishes prior without the intense heat sensation. Just a heads up. 

Other than that, I think the color is super pretty and the application was great. I think the topcoat is awesome.

This has a very unique topcoat. It does have to be cured under a UV or LED lamp, but you don't have an inhibition (tacky, sticky) layer to wipe clean! 

Pretty cool! 

So let me know if you have tried indie GEL polish, and what you think about it.

Sally Hansen 2015 Designer shades

Sally Hansen as some out with 3 designer inspired trio collections for fall 2015. I have 2 of the trio collections for you today. 

They are all the Complete Salon Manicure line so that means they are high shine, and long lasting. They dry quickly and have great coverage. The brush on these are the wider ones so they cover more nail area as opposed to standard brushes. 

The price point on these is $7.99 each 

You can find them where you purchase your Sally Hansen products at in your area.

The Rodarte Collection 

Gold Glass, Rose Glass & Beige Glass
These 3 shades are very very sheer!
I was hoping they would be more opaque.
