tonight is a show jumping lesson! hopefully Mr. Pawlish will make home in time to go... he's had a super busy week at work so it could go either way. it's so nice when he goes so he can take video, it really helps for me to able to watch and see what i can fix next time. plus, pictures! next month he definitely won't be able to come because lessons will be earlier... hate it when the days get shorter :( i'm sure looking forward to Autumn weather, though!
two coats Salon Perfect Pocketful Of Posies, one coat at the tips Salon Perfect Sugar Cube, two coats Salon Perfect Crystal Clear Top Coat. (all three are press samples).
today it's jump lesson day! yesterday i had a dressage lesson... basically, both Echo and i need to build up our fitness. we're the chunky monkeys of the barn :) the best news is that Brother Pawlish is coming to visit for the weekend, starting tomorrow! super excited to see him!
today i have Salon Perfect Oil Slick to share with you all. (it's a press sample, kindly provided to me for review!). Oil Slick is a super black creme polish. the formula is great... you could probably get away with one thick coat, but i think it's perfection at two! it dries shiny on its own, but it's even better with a high shine topcoat... i love how glossy it is, you can how much it's reflecting in the swatch! if you're not into black polish on its own, it would make a great base for duo/multi-chromes and glitters.
today we have Tickled Pink from the Salon Perfect Neon POP collection! (it's a press sample, kindly provided to me for review!). it's a bright, warm pink creme that also has some of that neon pigment. this would be a great 'starter' neon to ease you into wearing neons if you aren't quite sure how you feel about them! because of the neon, it dries to a rubbery finish and really benefits from a shiny topcoat. two coats over white make for perfect opacity!
one coat Salon Perfect Sugar Cube, two coats Tickled Pink, one coat Salon Perfect Crystal Clear Top Coat. (all three are press samples).
hi, everyone! i'm entered in a new contest by Inni Nail Designs called Inni For Emmy's! i created a nail wrap design using their Open Studio platform... and now just need votes :) the grand prize winner will have their design gifted to celebrities at the Emmy's AND a years supply of wraps! that would be totally awesome.
here's the design i came up with... California Coast! i would love it if you would vote for it at http://bit.ly/1uswQYl. if you really love it, you can even vote once an hour! you have to like Inni Nails Facebook page first, though :) thanks, guys!!
the last couple days were super busy, so here's another Sunday post for you all :) Friday just got away with me from errands, and Saturday Mr. Pawlish and i went to visit family that lives a couple hours from us. we stopped at a farm stand with a food truck on the way home, Mr. Pawlish had a soft crab sandwich and i had an amazing Philly cheese steak!
today i have the next Pixi Color of the Month polish... Caliente Coral! (it's a press sample, kindly provided to me for review!). it's a hot pink leaning coral with glass flecks in it that dries to a crelly finish... a creme that has that squishy, jelly look! i like crellies because they have a lot more opacity than your traditional jelly, and two coats gave me enough coverage that i felt comfortable wearing it! i didn't want to add too many layers and lose that squishy quality. the glass flecks have an ever so slight blue tone... but you really can't see it except in pictures. it's not very shiny upon dry down, so i highly recommend a high shine topcoat to gloss it up and help speed along the drying process!
two coats Caliente Coral, one coat Sally Hansen Diamond Flash Top Coat.
hese polishes retail for $8. you can find Pixi products at Target stores, www.Target.com, and www.PixiBeauty.com!! Caliente Coral is a limited edition shade that will only be available at PixiBeauty.com while supplies last... so make sure to order soon if it's something you're interested in it :) this is the direct link to the Pixi Beauty Nail Colour page!
i'm super excited to share Salon Perfect Haute Pink from their Neon POP collection with you all today! (it's press sample, kindly provided to me for review!) Haute Pink is a neon coral pink creme... and it's awesome. i got so many compliments on this one, it's so bright and fun that it just screams for attention :) like all the neon's it looks best over a white base... two coats over the white base and you're good to go! remember to make sure you cover all the white as it does show a lot... you can see where i messed up and left a little at my cuticles. it dries down to a rubbery finish... a shiny topcoat makes it absolutely delicious :) this bad boy is even better in person and on the nail!

i don't usually post on weekends, but i have a press release on China Glaze's new The Giver collection to share with you all! it's Mr. Pawlish and my seventh anniversary today... boy, the time does fly :) we had lunch at Texas Roadhouse which is one of our fave restaurants... so yummay! hope you enjoy this look at The Giver, and have a fantastic Sunday!
