The Digit-al Dozen Does: Neon - Look 2

Neons feel so perfect for summer, so let's jump right into my second look!

Polish Used:
-DearRus Noblesse - Venor 05
-DearRus Noblesse - Venor 17
-DearRus Noblesse - Venor 16

I felt like this look gradient (while it popped) needed a little something extra, so I added some fun stamping.

Polish Used:
-Konad - White

I used Bundle Monster plate BM-308 for this citrus image and it think that it really pulled this look together.

Take a look at how the other girls are rocking their second Neon looks below!

The Digit-al Dozen Does: Neon - Look 1

Happy Monday! I was unable to take part in the Digit-al Dozen last month, but this month I am back at it; with Neons!

Polish Used:
-OPI - My Boyfriend Scales Walls
-MiniLuxe - Lolita
-MiniLuxe - Hingham
-China Glaze - Home Sweet House Music

For my first look I went with a grungy dry brush neon gradient. I love how bright the colors of this look are; they really pop against the gray background and the matte effect seems to work perfectly with this look.

Let's see how the other ladies of the Digit-al Dozen are kicking off Neon week!

Zoya - Paradise Sun Collection

*Press Sample

"Fully saturated with gorgeous micronized metallic sheen, these shimmering beauties are much like sunshine sparkling on water. Meant to be used as an independent color, these shades feature a full coverage, densely pigmented formula."

Today I will be sharing with you the 6 fun shades of the Zoya Paradise Sun Collection. All photos are shown with two coats of color without topcoat.

Genesis (ZP790) - Crystalline white with micronized metallic pearl finish. Designed to look like microfine diamond dust. 

Mae (ZP794) - Warm magenta pink with micronized metallic pearl finish, reminiscent of vibrant Mediterranean flowers. 

Aphrodite (ZP795) - Vibrant summer red with a micronized pearl metallic finish and multi-hued flash that brings it to life. 

Selene (ZP791) - True teal with a micronized metallic pearl finish. A unique shade with an aqua fleck that resembles deeper layers of ocean water. 

Oceane (ZP792) - True turquoise with a micronized metallic pearl finish that reflects the clearest blue ocean waters. 

Isa (ZP793) - Deep blue-based purple with a micronized metallic pearl finish and an aqua flash that embodies the beauty of exotic island flowers. 

I found all of these shades to be pretty for summer. I really liked the white Genesis shade and the blue and green shade really popped off of my nails. Although they were slightly staining, but not too bad.

The formulas on all of the polishes were smooth and easy to apply for full coverage in two coats. The red shade was slightly more of a crelly finish than the others.

These polishes are available for purchase now at zoya.com.

Are you picking up any of these shades for yourself this summer?

Jindie Nails - Swatches & Review

*Press Sample

Today I have a couple Jindie Nails polishes to share with you. I received these, along with a couple others, for review so check these 3 out below and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks.

My Old Piano:

Paper Flowers:

Freeway of Love:

All of the above swatches are shown with 2 coats of color and no topcoat. The application as pretty good. Although it's always a toss up for me to use super thin coats but have trouble getting the glitters or using thicker coats and getting lots of glitters. I tried to settle somewhere in the middle with these lol.

I love the pink based shade of Freeway of Love and My Old Piano is definitely my favorite out of the two whites.

You can click the color names above the pictures to be taken directly to the Jindie shop for the colors. Also be sure to check out the official descriptions there too - she is super descriptive which I like when reading about a polish.

You can find Jindie Nails shop HERE.

L'Oreal Paris - Smooth Intense Ultimate Straight

*Got it Free

A couple of weeks ago I received the L'Oreal Paris Ultimate Straight product line from Influenster and today I'll be sharing my thoughts!

I would consider my hair type straight/wavy. I can't really wear it natural because its not straight enough to be "straight" and its not wavy enough to be "wavy", so I am always either straightening it or curling it or scrunching it. I was excited to try the Ultimate Straight product line to see how it worked on my hair.

There are 4 products in this line.

1. Straightening Shampoo
2. Straight Boosting Pre-Conditioner
3. Straightening Conditioner
4. Straight Perfecting Balm

I have been using these products for a couple weeks now and I really like the results. My hair feels silky smooth and hydrated and when I do end up straightening my hair (which is like 85% of the time) I found my hair to stay straight and smooth all day long.  See?

^^Those pictures were all taken towards the end of the day when my hair would have had time to loose it's straight; but as you can see, still straight as ever :)

Have you tried any of the L'Oreal Paris Ulitmate Straight products yet? Do you think you will be picking any up?
