Sally Hansen Swatches from Yesterday's Haul

I tried my best to capture the true color of these wonderful colors.

I did alright, but they aren't fantastic. 

Take my word for it, these polishes are worth hunting for.

"Sea And Be Seen"

2 coats over base coat of China Glaze "Secret Peri-Wink-le"

Nice frosty periwinkle

"Silver Lining"

2 coats, no base

SUPER pretty!

"Lagoon"

2 coats, no base 

This polish literally glows, its SO gorgeous!

"Hidden Treasure"

1 coat over 1 coat of China Glaze - Heli-yum

Grrrrr I fought with the camera to get the colors and flakes to show up, but alas I couldn't truly capture it's beauty. But I assure you, this flakey polish is heavenly!!

Small Haul....Big on Color...

 Now,I must confess that lately, 

I've been trying my hardest to avoid the nail polish displays in ANY store, because I've just got SO much....but as any self-respecting nail polish addict would know, this is much easier said than done.

I was strolling down the cosmetics isle in my local Walgreen's today, innocently wandering towards the shampoo when something caught my eye.

My first response to myself was 
"KEEP WALKING!"

But the light was hitting the display in just a way that all the sparkly goodness was drawing me in.

 I just had to stop and look.

The new spring Sally Hansen SALON Manicure collection was perfectly on display right in front of my eyes.

Shimmery

multi-dimensional

beautiful

It's been a while since I've seen a polish that makes me weak in the knees with lust....but here I was in the middle of the store, wobbling on two feet like a 13 yr. old seeing her 1st crush.

These colors are just like nothing I've seen in a while!! 

In the midst of all my giddy excitement, I threw 7 bottles in my cart.

After walking through the store and talking myself down,

I decided to choose the best 4 polishes out of what I had.

"Lagoon"

This is an AMAZING teal, with gold & green pearl undertones. 

I love teal, I own alot of teal polishes...and this one is going straight to the top of my list.

"Sea And Be Seen"

This is a Periwinkle, a purple-ish-blue shade with the finest grade of sliver and teal glitter in it. You've got to see it in person,

my camera just couldn't capture the uniqueness of this color.

"Silver Lining"

Another incredibly unique color. 

What an appropriate name.

This is a silver with ultra fine grade teal glitter. 

I've never seen anything quite like it. When in direct light, it is almost like a dual-chrome bouncing back from the teal to the silver.

Simply gorgeous.

"Hidden Treasure"

Well ain't that the truth.

Oh. My. God.

This color is right up there with Nfu-Oh, maybe even better.

Oh yeah, I said it.

In the picture it is almost a creamy yellow, but it's not even close.

It's a cross between a gold and a lime...but does it matter? 

Nope, cause it's what's inside that is pure heaven.

Opalescent flame orange-red chunky flakes with just a hint of green.

It's essentially a top coat to make even the most boring of colors literally come to life.

If there was ever a color that I were to say you MUST have, it is this gem right here.

Springtime French

First up on my request list is this simple french mani.

The request is from

Dolly's Miracle Product Of The Month

BAKING SODA

_______________

 Neatly hidden away in the back of all our pantries, 
this little yellow box is never given proper credit for all the wonderful things it can do.
  I am here to tell you otherwise.

Did you know that Baking Soda, or it's technical term, Sodium Bicarbonate has been around since the 1700's? A French chemist by the name of Nicolas LeBlanc produced Baking soda in 1791. In 1846, two New york Bakers establish the first factory to develop baking soda for what most of us use it now, and that's for baking!

Ahh, but enough of the history lesson, onto the good stuff!!!

Here are 8 Beauty Tips for Baking Soda

_________________________

1) - Teeth Whitening.

For that bright smile, brush teeth with a pinch of Baking Soda & table salt.

It even acts as a mouthwash, helping to eliminate bad breath.

Gargling with Baking Soda & water also helps heal mouth sores.

2) - Pampered Feet.

2 Tbsp of Baking Soda with 1Tbsp of salt into a basin of hot water.

Soak your feet for 15-20 minutes. It gently removes dirt and dead skin for those tired footies. And for extra scrubbing power, make a paste of Baking Soda and water and run the bottom of your feet to remove those tough dry patches.

3) - Dry Shampoo.

Sprinkle a pinch of Baking Soda onto your hair brush and run through your hair, concentrating on the roots, and the Baking Soda will absorb all the excess oils.

4) - Nail Care.

Apply a couple of sprinkles of Baking Soda to your nail brush and use on finger nails & toe nails to clean and buff the nails as well as soften your cuticles.

5) - Sunburn & Insect Bites.

Make a paste of a pinch of Baking Soda & a couple drops of water.

It cools & helps the affected area(s) for quick relief and faster healing.

6) - Product Residue.

Got some hair product build up weighing your hair down?

Add 1/2 tsp to your shampoo and the Baking Soda will gently remove all that build up.

7) - Revitalize & Smooth Skin.

For all those tough, dry patches of skin, such as elbows, hands & knees, 

mix 3 parts Baking Soda to 1 part water to form a thick paste.

Apply in a gentle circular motion to the area, rinse & apply a moisturizing lotion & your skin is left feeling soft & supple.

8) - Microdermabrasion.

A pinch of Baking Soda mixed with 1-2 pumps of your favorite Facewash once or twice a week and it will replace any and ALL your microdermabrasion products. 

So, the next time you walk past the pantry, 

stop and grab for this little yellow wonder, 

you may be pleasantly surprised,

and your wallet will thank you too!
