Weekly Nails: B-Right Greeny

This is going to be a super duper quick post. Nothing fancy or anything like that (apologies!). I'm trying to find my tripod to MAYBE do a tutorial. Maybe. Can I stress the maybe? Providing I FIND my tripod.


All I knew is that I wanted to use the Hard Candy polish I purchased on Friday (Itzy Glitz collection), but after swatching it, I didn't feel like doing multiple layers to get it opaque. Next best thing? Layer it! Going through my lime green mini-collection to find the right one. 

Base coat used was O.P.I. Nail Envy. Top coat, Inm Out The Door.

After letting that dry, I began with Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish in B-Right On!. B-Right On! is a vivid, yellow-green cream polish. Two coats were used for it to be opaque (no clean up yet!). 

After letting that dry, I next began to layer on Hard Candy Teeny Greeny (lime green metallic with gold/copper flecks) on top of B-Right On! Three coats were used. (Annnd now clean up!)



And there you have it! Definitely an easy one and I love the effect with the layering. I'm not sure though, but I do believe B-Right On! is discontinued. I haven't been able to find it on any site that I was able to check.

Greens of March: Zoya

Good morning/evening/afternoon!

I actually meant to start off this series for March sooner, but alas things don't always work out as planned (ok, it's more like I kept getting distracted).

Basically this is a series I'm going with, not only in honor of St. Patrick's Day (oranges will be included too!), but also because spring is just around the corner. It all started when an old childhood friend mentioned that I better be purchasing green nail polish while I was at Walgreens. This made me, when I got home, go through my polish stash to see just how many I had. I have quite a few. Thus, this idea began.

This isn't limited to polishes alone, I have quite a few green eye shadows. I just haven't decided how I'm going to do the eye shadows yet, polishes are a different story. I figured I'd do them by brand. Easier that way.

So this post, I'm starting off with the green Zoya polishes that I have.

Haul/Review: Pixi Beauty from Target

Can I just start off with saying how super duper excited I was that I was able to get this? Now I know I'm most likely late to the game with this, but that doesn't matter to me.

I originally planned on doing this post last night, but I wanted to do an eye of the day with the eye shadows, hence why I waited.

Would you believe what I purchased from Target totaled out to $10.00 (excluding tax). At the current moment, Target has select Pixi products on Clearance (most likely making way for newer products for Spring). The products are, what I like to call, doubled clearance. Which means, they've been marked down twice.  

There is also a $5.00 coupon on Target.com for Pixi and/or NP Set, that can be both used in store and online (the online code appears on the coupon as well), providing you spend $15.00 or more. The three items that I purchased totaled out to $15.00 then I used the $5.00, bingo! All three items for $10.00!

If you can't find these items still at your local Target (sold there exclusively in the states) then please visit the PIXI website, they are still readily available there. The PixiGlow collection is currently discounted there!


PixiGlow Fairy Face Palette ($10.20/$34.00) Pixi Belle. Comes with 5 Eye Shadows, 5 Lip Creams and Blush. Along with a double-sided eye shadow applicator, double-sided lip brush and a blush brush. There is also a built in mirror.

PixiGlow Nail Colour ($2.40/$8.00) Pirouette Pink.

Nail Polish ($2.40/$8.00) Luminous Lilac. 

Please continue reading after the cut for swatches!
