Franken Tuesday: Lady Sybil Branson

Happy Franken Tuesday...almost made it...still Tuesday here!

 

Back to Downton Abbey! I am having major withdrawals, but here is a polish to try and get us all out of that funk. This is called Lady Sybil Branson.

 

And here is the darling couple. I love that Lady Sybil is so different from her sisters. She has a big heart and knows that love is love, no matter who it is between.

 

 

I put two coats of this glitter on my ring and middle fingers with two coats of Sally Hansen Pink Satin (a metallic purple/rose) on ever other finger.

 

 

This is really not a complex polish. Very tiny lilac/rose glitter and larger teal hex glitter make up a fun, girly, but decidedly different polish fit for Sybil.

 

 

I love the way this looks!! So adorable. I am just loving the glitter bombs. Always remember the pvc glue method or risk scrubbing forever!

 

Only 2 more frankens left and the contest is ending soon. Enter Enter ENTER

 

I promise you won't be sorry!!

 

Enjoy the rest of your Tuesday!

Revlon FrenchMix: Over the Moon

Okay, I know...more nails! But I have some makeup posts in the works, so hang tight for those!

My wonderful mom picked this up for me as a treat...so of course I have to blog about it!

 

 

This is the double-sides Revlon Nail Art FrenchMix nail polish in the color "Over the Moon" which is a teal cream and a light pink with iridescent sparkle.

 

 

These retail for a $8 and change, but if you think about it--it's a good deal because you essentially get two polishes! The packaging is a little daunting, but I think it works out, and saves space!

 

 

I suppose you can do the french manicure the other way around, but I chose the more traditional, albeit funky, way. Here is one coat of the pink with the teal tips. Finished off with a coat of Seche.

 

 

I liked that the brushes on both ends were small enough to create the french tips without any tip guides. This was the easiest french manicure I've ever tried. And it turned out really funk and cool! Thanks Revlon! And Mom :)

 

Final Thoughts: These come in a range of fun colors and are really easy to use!

 

Price: 8/10

Staying Power: 9/10

Packaging: 8/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Quality/Branding: 9/10

Total: 44/50 = B+ = Happy Panda!

Besides the hard to hold packaging, this is a great product! What do you guys think? I love the way these turned out!

Chic Reloaded

I know my blog has been my polish lately, but since I have started graduate school as of today, polish posts are easy to fit in my schedule for the time being!

And besides, there is a lot of buzz about Essence polishes, and I found a shade that has gotten a lot of love, but not nearly enough yet!

 

This is Essence 'Chic Reloaded' and retails for $1.99. I love Essence as a brand, they are affordable and good quality. The nail polish bottles have had a massive make-over, turning from little cylinders to these hourglass bottles with colored tops. I love it -- now you can spot them easily in your stash!

 

This is such a fun color for fall. It is a dark purple/teal duochrome and the shift is fairly noticeable, especially in sunlight. The new brushes on these are kind of awful...they remind me of the Sally Hansen salon ones...they are big and rounded and are supposed to cover the whole nail in one sweep...but I have thin nail beds which equals mess!

So pretty! It also has a bit of a shimmer to it! The formula is nice, not too thick or thin and in two coats it has the desired effect. No chips after a few days, but tip wear (seen here) after three days. Not bad, not good.

Final Thoughts: Affordable, unique duochrome!

Price: 10/10

Staying Power: 7/10

Packaging: 10/10

Color/Wearability: 10/10

Quality/Branding: 9/10

 

Total: 46/50 = A- = Happy Panda!

 

Do you love this color? I really do think it is "Chic Reloaded" :)
