Dive Bar was a bit of a pain for me to really capture how amazing it really is in true life. This is a blackened turquoise shimmer. It is gorgeous and I highly recommend finding this bad boy for your collection!<br />

Hello Nail'd & Polish'd readers! I am not going to bore you with excuses or apologies, just blog about some beautiful Essie nail polishes :)<br />
<br />
The three polishes I have today I swatched months and months ago. They are Essie, so the application and wear was exceptional. The creme colors are beautiful and if you can find them, they are the perfect shades to ease you back into to the amazing dark fall colors I am seeing for the Fall collections! <br />
<br />
School of Hard Rocks is a dark sage green creme.<br />

Hi all! I thought I needed to send out a big 'hi' to everyone and let you all know that I am still alive! It's been quite a year for me and my family and Nail'd & Polish'd has fallen through the cracks. I'm not going to bore you with the boring details, but I want to thank you for all of the support you've given me and this blog. I am hopeful that I can devote more time to Nail'd & Polish'd in the coming weeks, but it is summer and I need to keep these kid busy :) Plus, we just got back from camping and my nails are thrashed! But when they look pretty again, I hope to start swatching & blogging again!<br />
xoxo<br />
Cindy<br />

Life has consumed me lately and I apologize for my lack if posts and all around involvment in the nail polish and blogging world. I thought this post was perfect, since I feel like a total flake lately, Zoya's amazing Flakies!!! Fleck Effect from Zoya is 3 seriously flaky, and I mean that in a very good way, amazing polishes! The Fleck Effects collection can be worn alone or over your favorite polish to give it a different look. <br />

I always love the 'early' Spring collections. They are usually light and pretty and a major contrast from all the glitz and glamour of the Holiday collections we have be wearing. True is just that-a delicate mix of polishes that range from creamy beige to gorgeous purple. This collection has a color (or 6) for everyone. Today I have the first 3 of this collection. These and a bazillion other gorgeous polishes can be found <strong><em><a href="http://www.zoya.com/">here</a></em></strong> for $8 each. Make sure you follow Zoya on <strong><a href="https://twitter.com/#!/zoya_nailpolish">Twitter</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ZoyaNailPolish">Facebook</a></strong> too. They have these <em>fairies</em> who are very good to their followers and you never know what <em>mischief</em> they are up to :)<br />

OPI's holiday collection, The Muppets is an amazing collection of glitter, red, and neutral polishes. The Muppets have a special place in my heart, not only because I grew up with them, but my youngest told me a couple of years ago, that he wanted to be Kermit when he grows up.<br />

Thanks for entering!</span></strong><br />
<br />
Happy 2012! I hope everyone had a great December and are having a great new year! I have decided to start Nail'd & Polish'd, 2012, out with a giveaway. A holo giveaway! I have 3 hard to find, brand new China Glaze holographic beauties to give away to one very lucky winner. L8R G8R, FYI, and Wireless Holographic Top Coat. I have been holding on to these for a few months after scoring them at a local beauty supply and it is time to pass them along to one of my fellow polish lovers.<br />
<br />
There isn't a whole lot I can say to describe these polishes, except they are amazing! China Glaze knows how to do holographic and with any luck, they will do it again someday.<br />
L8R G8R is a lime green holo.<br />

Today I have something exciting for you guys. A new (to me) brand and a giveaway! Soulstice is a vegan and cruelty free brand. They offer spa quality products & toxin free nail colours. They have 35 colors of polish to choose from that are 3-free, vegan and cruelty free. I was sent 2 polishes to review and I really like them! The colors are beautiful and the application was great. You can find Soulstice Nail Colour on the Soulstice <a href="http://www.soulsticespa.com/index.html">website</a> for $8 each.<br />
<br />
Provence is a nice lavender creme. This went on smooth and easy, not chalky at all.<br />

It is a 12 piece collection of a wide array of shimmers and cremes ranging from corals to greys to very dark shades. I found that most of this collection had a 'dustyness' to it. This collection isn't my favorite and overall, I was pretty disappointed in Touring America. I did pick up 3 of them and here they are.<br />
<br />
Honk If You Love OPI is my favorite. It is dusty vamp creme! What a gorgeous shade of polish!<br />

The Metro Collection by China Glaze is a 12 piece collection ranging from shimmers, to glitters, to cremes. I have 3 of the polishes from this collection, two glitters and a to die for creme!<br />
<br />
Skyscraper is a blueberry base with silver glitter. In the bottle, this color pulls more purple, so I was a little surprised when I applied and it was blue.<br />

Midtown Magic, how do I describe this one? Bare with me-It is a brown/burgundy base with gold, brown, & I think I see green micro glitter. I can't tell if this has a duo chrome to it or if it has a slight holographic to it. It is a really cool and trippy color. And it is gorgeous! <br />

So I spent most of my morning swatching the rest of my Fall 2011 polishes. There are so many exciting Holiday collections coming out and I can't wait to get my hands on all glittery goodness! But we do have a few more days left to enjoy the spooky decorations and candy. <br />
Last week, I stopped into CVS and to my suprise, there was a FULL display of Wet n' Wilds On the Prowl Collection. I posted a couple weeks ago the 5 polishes I could find last month and you can find that post <a href="http://naildpolishd.blogspot.com/2011/09/wet-n-wildon-prowl.html"><strong><em>here</em></strong></a><strong><em>. </em></strong>Since the display was full, I was able to pick up, or I should say, grab the last 2 polishes I needed to complete my set of On the Prowl. Cougar Attack and Ready to Pounce were each $1.99 and I really don't think there is a better polish out ther for the price. <br />
<br />
Cougar Attack is a sheer brown base with tons of copper glitter.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qSh9RoVeDqaGnNE4AexWZzRcvoQTGR7xTi18K5VTPWQtq2iP-sN6apw-AoSwAUV-5zSm-wiC4yiBert3pGuj56ZXiqJR02PO7ynsZ-6wTUmkUTBKUcSrUMuWaRZXdUMH9yvpDtD3u4s/s1600/IMG_5393.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" rda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7qSh9RoVeDqaGnNE4AexWZzRcvoQTGR7xTi18K5VTPWQtq2iP-sN6apw-AoSwAUV-5zSm-wiC4yiBert3pGuj56ZXiqJR02PO7ynsZ-6wTUmkUTBKUcSrUMuWaRZXdUMH9yvpDtD3u4s/s320/IMG_5393.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Ready to Pounce is a dark purply shimmer. It is beautiful.<br />

I have been dealing with a pretty major parenting decision. My husband & I have decided to change our kids school. So, it's like the crazy few days before school all over again. My posting might be a little hit & miss the next week or so. But here is why you all are really here :)<br />
<br />
Before I tell you my pick for best nail polish strips/appliques/stickers, I am going to re-cap the 4 brands.<br />
<br />
Sally Hansen, Salon Effects<br />
~Cost-$8.50-9.99<br />
~Application-Went on easy and smooth<br />
~Durability-Lasted all 3 days with hardly any wear<br />
<br />
Nail Fraud<br />
~Cost-$12.00+<br />
~Application-Went on easy and smooth<br />
~Durability-Tip wear on day 2 and by day 3, major wear and peeling<br />
<br />
Broadway Nails, Nail Dress<br />
~Cost-$5.50<br />
~Application-Went on okay, minor sealing problems<br />
~Durability-Didn't last at all. I took them off by day 2<br />
I do want to let you know that Broadway Nails contacted me after reading my post and they suggest using a top coat over the strips to extend wear.<br />
<br />
Incoco, Dry Nail Appliques<br />
~Cost-$7.99-8.99<br />
~Application-Went on easy and smooth<br />
~Durability-Lasted all 3 days with hardly any wear<br />
<br />
When testing all four brands, I tried to make sure that I didn't do anything out of the ordinary in my daily routine. I am a stay at home mom who does her own laundry, dishes, cooking and cleaning. Although it wasn't a scientific or controlled environment, all 4 brands got a fair example of my life :)<br />
<br />
And without further adieu, my choice is... Incoco! This brand was the best for the price, held up beautifully, and went on like butter! <br />
<br />

Tomorrow I will review all 4 brands and give you my choice for the best one. I first heard about Incoco a little over a year ago and thought it was an amazing idea. I actually reviewed this brand last year and you can read that post <a href="http://naildpolishd.blogspot.com/2010/10/incoco.html"><strong><em>here</em></strong></a><strong><em>. </em></strong>The Incoco kit in Bling Bling, came with 16 strips which are double ended, making it very easy to fund the right fit for each nail, a nail file, cuticle stick, polish remover cloth, and instructions. Incoco Appliques are a 3-in-1, meaning there is a base coat, color, and top coat in each strip. You can find Incoco Appliques on their <a href="http://www.incoco.com/Default.aspx"><strong><em>website</em></strong></a><strong><em> </em></strong>and I have seen them at Walgreens. The price range is $7.99-8.99.<br />
<br />
Day 1-Application-These appliques went on super easy. I didn't have any problems at all. Bling Bling is a silver glitter with just a touch of iridescent glitter scattered through out.<br />

Way, way, way back in November, 2010, Nail Fraud had a Twitter giveaway for Oprah's Favorite Things/Christmas Show and I won! When my Nail Fraud strips arrived, I was so excited because they were absolutely they cutes leopard pattern! The name of this design is Wild Thing. Nail Fraud is web-based company that you can find <em><strong><a href="http://www.nailfraud.com/">here</a></strong></em> and they have dozens of solids, crackle, and patterned strips. They even have pedi-strips! Their website was not working for me when I was typing this up, so the prices may be different from my notes, but the strips I have retail(retailed) for $12. <br />
<br />
Day 1, Application. Nail Fraud strips come in 20 strips with 10 different sizes. I love that there are so many sizes to choose from. These went on super easy. They were thin and shiny. <br />
<br />

There are many different types and brands out on the market, and I decided to test a few of them out. Way, way back in April 2011, I started a test. I had four different brands of nail polish strips/appliques/stickers. I thought that I would test all four and post on what I found. I am going to post in each one individually and then on Friday, I will compare and let you know my choice for the best of the four. Luckily, I took very good notes and can't wait to hear what you guys think!<br />
<br />
First up is Sally Hansen~Salon Effects in Booty Camp. These are so cute! Pink camo! In the box of Salon Effects are 16, individual strips in 8 different sizes, a cuticle stick and a mini file/buffer. I got these at Ulta and they were $9.99, but I saw them at my local Walmart for $8.50. These are pretty easy to find and if you have a coupon or find them on sale, they can be a bargain. The core line is 24 shades that include several adorable designs. Oh, and the Halloween ones, are a must! I did a full, three day test and here are my results for Sally Hansen~Salon Effects. <br />
<br />
Day 1~Application. The Application went really well and it only took me a couple of nails before I got the hang of it. I only had to trim 2 of the nails to fit. Then I realized I could have turned the strip around and use the other end. One of the things I really liked about these strips was that they stretched just enough to be able to pull it down over the free edge and seal it down tight to your nail.<br />
<br />

I was amazed at how well these held up. I easily could have left these on for several days. The only thing I noticed was a slight shrinking of a few of the nails.<br />

I have 2 kids who know what they want to be and my little one can't decide. So I am going to get busy coming up with a werewolf and a zombie bride(I can't wait to do her make-up) costumes and wait until my youngest makes up his mind. I finally tracked down the Wet n' Wild~On the Prowl Halloween collection. This collection took it's sweet time to show up in my neck of the woods. When I did finally find it, I didn't find a full display. But I did get 5 of the 8 and I am still searching for a couple more. I found these polishes at CVS for $1.99 each. You need these polishes, so find them, wear them, love them. These are all 2 coats.<br />
<br />
Correction Tape is a fun polish! Its a clear base with gold, fuchsia, & bright blue, medium hex and square glitter and a smaller black hex. This is a fun color that would also work for Mardi Gras too! <br />

Tangled in my Web is a clear base with small black hex glitter. All by it's self, I don't really like it, but layered over other colors, it's really cool.<br />

Behind Closed Doors is a sheer black base with medium red hex and tiny red glitter. I LOVE this one! I even like how trippy it looks. I tried to float the glitter on, but when I did that, it made the base look weird. I like it though.<br />

Jungle Fever is a dusty apple green shimmer. Not sure if the name, Jungle Fever, is Halloween-ish, but the color sure is. It was a little sheer, but 3 coats would take care of that.<br />

I can't believe I have never swatched a Maybelline polish before, but better late than never I suppose. Today I have two limited edition polishes from the Scene on the Runway Collection. I recently found a display at Kmart and grabbed these two. Cool Couture and Notorious Navy are very pretty colors. The formula, however, wasn't all that great. I couldn't get the polish to go on very smooth and the brush was a little funky for me. But they are very pretty.<br />
<br />
Cool Couture is a grey base with a teal shimmer to it. The color of this polish made me forget about the application issues. Look at this beauty!<br />

I have the first Halloween themed collection that I have been able to find. For some reason all the stores around me are taking their time getting all the Halloween goodies out and on the shelves. China Glaze never really fails in the Halloween collections. Year after year they release great colors and this year is no different. I have heard a few mixed reviews on the is collection, but I think it's beautiful and eerie, just how Halloween should be! The Haunting Collection is 6 polishes, Ghoulish Glow & Black Mesh (Crackle) are re-promotes. <br />

Pink of Hearts 2011 will be available in September and October in support of Breast Cancer Awareness month. I found mine a few weeks ago at a local beauty supply, so that tells me that they should start popping up in salons and at other OPI retailers any day now.<br />
I layered it over China Glaze~OMG! (index), Wet n' Wild~White (middle), China Glaze~Good Witch? (ring), & American Apparel~Hassid (pinky)<br />

I think it leans toward the peachy-pink side. Except over the Hassid-hello amazing! I LOVE this shatter over black polish. On a side note, this OPI shatter doesn't play nice wth China Glaze. I didn't get that great of a shatter effect over the OMG! or the Good Witch?.

<div closure_uid_lhpp3m="489">2. <strong>Would you rather chop off all your hair or never be able to cut it again?</strong> Chop it off! In fact, I am doing just that on Wednesday.</div>3. <strong>Would you rather have a coral cheek or a pink cheek?</strong> Hmmm, I guess coral<br />
4. <strong>If you had $1000 to spend, would you rather buy clothes or makeup?</strong> Clothes<br />
5. <strong>Would you rather apply lipstick as eyeliner or eyeliner as lipstick?</strong> Since I have done this many times, eyeliner as lipstick. In the early and mid '90's, if you wanted a dark lip, we would use navy eyeliner and red lipstick over it. Voila dark burgundy!<br />
6. <strong>Would you rather only shop at MAC or Sephora?</strong> I'm a MAC girl.<br />
7. <strong>Would you rather use only one eyeshadow color or one lip color the rest of your life?</strong> One eyeshadow. <br />
8. <strong>Would you rather wear winter clothes in the summer or summer clothes in the winter?</strong> I hate being hot, so summer clothes in the winter. You can always warm up with a blanket.<br />
9. <strong>Would you rather have dark nails or bright nails all year round?</strong> Finally and easy one, DARK!<br />
10. <strong>Would you rather only be able to wear your hair in a pony tail or a messy bun?</strong> Messy bun<br />
11. <strong>Would you rather never be able to paint your nails again or never use lipgloss?</strong> Never use lipgloss<br />
12. <strong>Would you rather shave your eyebrows and have none at all?</strong> Have none. You can always draw them on. Shaving would probably give you stubble.<br />
13. <strong>Would you rather live without makeup or nail polish?</strong> I LOVE my nail polish, but I love my makeup just a little bit more.<br />
