Polish of the Week!

On March 1, 2016April 11, 2016 By MyStyleInsideOutIn Polish of the Week8 Comments

I love nail polishes, may it be name brand, drugstore or brand that you’ve never heard or seen before. For the past years, I’ve accumulated quite a lot but gave away a ton keeping the ones that I’ve reached the most. One of the few polishes I’ve kept is from the brand SinfulColors I purchased them at Walmart, they are pretty affordable and only cost $1.99 each.

I have been doing my nails since forever and believe it or not, I’ve only been to a nail salon once. YES, just ONE TIME and that was a few hours before my flight coming here in the USA for the very first time (I ran out of time so I had to get it done quick). So, If you want to know how I take care of my nails, here is a link to my previous post Polish of the Week! and I still do the same exact step to date.

So, here are the things that I used for my nails/polish for this week.

Base Coat – OPI
Nail Polish/polishes
Nail Art and Dotting Tool
Top Coat – Rimmel London

I went shopping without any intention of purchasing another nail polish (will post a nail polish haul soon by the way) but SinfulColors just came out with their KYLIE JENNER Collection (NO I AM NOT A FAN OF THE JENNER/KARDASHIAN FAMILY) but the shade options on this collection are just beautiful that I had to pick one. This is called SINFULSHINE with Gel Tech (Gel Tech??) so that made me curious even more.

SinfulColors in Palm Breeze is one of my past purchases. I love the subtle shimmer effect on this nail polish and it’s quick dry too so that’s a huge plus for me. I picked to use this shade for this week as I cannot wait for spring and start wearing more bright or pastel colors.

SinfulShine in Slay Grey is from the Kylie Collection with a shimmering effect as well. It’s obviously in a nice silvery-grey shade which I can use as an accent or simply use this by itself.

So here’s what I came up with!

I don’t see any difference on the formulation on the SinfulCOLORS to the SinfulSHINE with Gel Tech collection. I couldn’t even see the “Gel” effect on this nail polish. However, both nail polishes are quick dry, it has a slight scent (typical nail polish scent) but it doesn’t linger and like I mentioned above, they have a WIDE variety of color selection.

“All made in the USA, with the quality you expect from a leading nail brand, without formaldehyde, toluene and DBP.”

If you want to know more about Formaldehyde click HERE, for Toluene click HERE and DBP (Dibutyl phthalate) click HERE.

I added a touch of bling to the nail just for fun! ❤

Perhaps, I would purchase a different color and apply multiple coats to see the “Gel Tech” effect that they’re talking about. HAHA

Have you guys tried this SinfulColors/SinfulShine nail polishes?

MILANI Polish of the Week review!

On January 31, 2016October 24, 2016 By MyStyleInsideOutIn Polish of the Week4 Comments

At exactly seven days today from when I applied this MILANI COLOR STATEMENT NAIL LACQUER on my nails and shared to everyone my Polish of the week!. I am going to give a quick review and show you how they’re doing.

I’ve been checking my nails since day 1 to see if there’s any chipping.

Day 2 – The color is still vibrant

Day 3 – No chip or Cracks

Day 4 – I still have my nail polish and nails on.. LOL 🙂

Day 5 – I did find one noticeable chip on my right pointing fingernails. That was because I used this nail to remove staples on the paperwork that I was working on (we do have a staple remover at work you know, but sometimes you just have to let those fingers work..LOL).

Day 6 – My nails were put to the test. I did some general house cleaning, cooked and put my Christmas Tree down (If only I can keep them on all year-round) but these nail lacquer stayed strong and didn’t give up. Though you will notice some fading on the tip of my nails but that’s normal.

Day 7 – I realized that I am beginning to love the formulation of this MILANI COLOR STATEMENT NAIL LACQUER. I am impressed with the staying power, the variety of shade options, the quality, packaging, quick dry AND super affordable too which is a HUGE Plus!

Polish of the week!

Here I go again with my other obsession. Nails, nail polish, nail art or anything related to nails makes me happy. This is just a quick post to show you what I did with my nails this week.

Recently I posted a Beauty Haul! and if you’ve checked it out I’m sure you’ve seen some of the MILANI Color Statement Nail Lacquer that I bought.

thumb_IMG_6988_1024

I wanted to use all the shades that I purchased because they’re just really beautiful but I didn’t want to look funny specially at work so I settled with two shades instead.

In case you’re wondering how I divided the colors,

First, of course I need to apply a Base Coat (OPI)
second, I painted my nails with the shade Pink Beige
then I had to let it dry.
placed a clear tape to cover the other part of my nail and since I didn’t have a proper nail accessory, I ended up using a clear tape “be innovative” you know. 🙂
then I applied the shade Mauving Forward
and finished it with Milani’s Quick Dry Top Coat

Just an insight, this MILANI COLOR STATEMENT NAIL LACQUER is very smooth, very thick and super rich in color. It does have a glossy finish in just one coat and is available in a variety of different finishes – cream, sheer, metallic or with glitters and comes in 37 shades. It didn’t say that this nail polish is a quick dry though but it felt like it is. However, since the Top Coat is definitely a quick dry, then that made this nail polish to dry even quicker.

And.. voila!

I told you this is just a quick post.. Thank for dropping by!

Beauty Haul!

On January 21, 2016 By MyStyleInsideOutIn Beauty, Beauty Haul10 Comments

There are two reasons why I shop, one is because I’m stressed and two because I want them and would like to take them home with me. I know I said it in my last post “Goals..Goals..Goals..” that I will try to Spend Less and Save More. So this time, I did spend less.

It’s been a while since I’ve shared my last haul post “Mini-lipstick-Haul!” so I guess it’s time for me to share some today.

MILANI Color Statement Nail Lacquer

These nail polishes cost $3.95 at Walmart but I only paid 97 cents for each as they were on sale.

thumb_IMG_6804_1024_Fotor I love the range of colors that they have, the formulation looks really good too and the packaging is just elegant. That made me so excited to buy them (aside from the price of course), now I cannot wait to try them very soon.

Now, let’s talk about face products.

Another repurchased item here is the MAYBELLINE Fit Me Concealer in the shade SAND. One of the best concealer I’ve ever tried. Non-drying, not “cakey” either, very smooth and very easy to blend too. Definitely a Must-Have.

Finally! I’m able to lay my hands on this lipstick from Rimmel The Only One Lipstick, 120 You’re all mine. I’ve been seeing photos and advertisements on this lipsticks all over the net and now I got one myself. The quality of this lipstick is awesome. It smells like the Rimmel Lasting Finish By Kate Lipstick collection but as always, not too overwhelming. The shade option is quite limited but I’m hoping that they will come up with more new shades for a better color options.

Milani Power Lip Lasting & Moisturizing Lip Stain, Strawberry Sugar 06

I’ve never heard much buzz about this Milani Power Lip Gloss Stain. I’ve purchased one before just out of curiosity but I ended up loving it. Now I thought why not add one more gloss stain in my lipstick collection and see if I will adore this shade as well. This is truly a stain because it stays on for a while, another good thing about this product is that, it doesn’t dry your lips out.

If you’ve tried this item, please let me know what you guys think?

I couldn’t help myself but grab another Powder Brush from Elf Cosmetics. They are just one of the best and most affordable brushes out there.

Last but not the least, is my new favorite Covergirl The Super Sizer by LashBlast(r) Mascara, 800 Very Black. I don’t know what took me so long to purchase this mascara though I’ve seen and heard so many beauty bloggers and beauty gurus talked about this.

thumb_IMG_6836_1024_Fotor The wand looks really tiny and seemed like it can’t even give you volume or length, but hey! don’t get fooled by it because this tiny wand is AWESOME! I love how it makes my lashes look long, black and with more volume. This mascara stays on and keeps the curl really well for a long time. It doesn’t flake and didn’t irritate my eyes too. Great for top and bottom lashes. I love this!
