nail salon..Seche Vite Top Coat / Breast Cancer Awareness Month

In support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month , the makers of Seche Vite dry fast top coat included 24 Pink Ribbon nail decals and 12 rhinestones with the 5oz bottle. Seche Vite top coat is easily considered as one of the best fast drying top coats on the market today . I've seen Seche Vite priced any where from between $10.00 to $6.00 in retail stores and online . I purchased this bottle from Sally's for $4.99, which makes this a great deal. For more information on how you can contribute to the fight for a cure to Breast Cancer visit the Susan G. Koman Foundation at http://www.the3day.org/. Together we can make a difference!

In the lime Light Neon: bright with a touch of glitter green

Solar Power : bright yellow with a touch of glitter

The Remix: I painted the nails again with dots and glitter. These colors look great in the sun. I think that would make a great pedicure. If I can ever drag The Little Princess always from her DS or Wii I'm going to try this one on her!

nail salon : China Glaze Matte Magic Swatches

China Glaze Matte Magic: Top Coat

I'm currently giving away a few bottles of this polish so, I wanted to post a some samples....

I wanted to post a few samples of China Glazes's Matte Magic so, you guys could see why I like it so much. I painted the nail tips using Black Diamond , by China Glaze. Black Diamond, is a soft mixture of gray and back polish with delicate blue sliver glitters. Then ,I used a nail brush and painted strips , swirls and dots. This is what I would call a surprise mani, like the toy inside the cracker jax box. From far away it looks like a regular mani but, when you take a closer look SURPRISE! China Glaze , has not cornered the market on matte top coat it just happens to be the one I like.
