The Nail Network's 2nd Blog Birthday Giveaway!!

Good morning everyone! I finally have the blog birthday giveaway post ready for you!! I was lucky enough to partner up with Christy from KBShimmer to create my very own polish! I chose to do a glitter topcoat, using all of my favorite colors: coral, purple, turquoise, and big round black glitter.

The polish is called The Nail Network It, Girl! and I have it layered over white (above) and OPI Can't Find My Czechbook (below). I used one coat for each and dabbed in some spots to get more glitter.

So now for the giveaway part! I have two bottles of The Nail Network It, Girl! to giveaway to two lucky readers! Enter your info in the Rafflecopter widget below for a chance to win! All terms and conditions are stated in the widget.

Trelly's M.I.S.C. Polish 'The Little Mermaid' Collection Swatches/Review

Good morning everyone! To continue on the Disney-theming of the past couple of days, I have some Little Mermaid-inspired polish from Trelly's M.I.S.C. Polish!

Dinglehopper is a sheer white polish with orange and blue glitter. I layered two coats here over a white base.

Kiss the Girl has a minty green base with green, purple, and aqua glitter. This is three coats.

I'm Not a Guppy is a very interesting shade of yellow-green with blue glitter. There are also blue heart glitter in here but I wasn't able to get any out on the nail. This is three coats.

Poor Unfortunate Souls has purple, green, and blue glitter in a sheer-ish black base. This is two coats over black.

Gadgets and Gizmos is a glitter topcoat with a mix of blue, pink, and gold glitter. This is two coats over Milani Pink Express.

Under the Sea is a glitter top coat with purple and aqua glitter. This is two coats over China Glaze For Audrey.

The formula on all of these polishes was very good and I would recommend all of them! My personal favorite is Under the Sea. Trelly's M.I.S.C. Polish has an Etsy and a Facebook page, go give them a 'like' to keep updated on all the new collection releases!

Sephora Disney Jasmine 'One is Never Enough' Mini Nail Polish Set Review/Swatches

I'm back again with yet more Jasmine goodness! I have swatches of the nail polish set that was included in the Jasmine collection today. The set consists of six miniature Sephora by OPI polishes in a beautifully designed box.

Berry Tale Romance is a berry creme that was opaque in two coats.

Your Wish is My Command is a creamy lilac shimmer that needed three coats for opacity.

Fit For Royalty is a royal purple shimmer. This is two coats.

Dream Princess is an iridescent glitter top coat. I used two coats over Fit For Royalty.

All That Jasmine is a lovely shade of turquoise that was opaque in two coats and has a great name!

Aladdin's Girl is a stunning red/copper polish that borders on a foil finish. It was a little bit sheer and needed three coats.

This set is available for purchase at Sephora and retails for $24.50. Are you planning on snatching this set up? Which color is your favorite?

Sephora Disney Jasmine Storylook Palette Review/Swatches

This is it, the crown jewel from the Jasmine Collection from Sephora! This palette has fifteen different eyeshadows, as well as a blush and a bronzer. And the packaging? Do you even need to ask? It's amazing!

The shadows are all housed in a pull out "drawer" that fits inside the outer casing. The swatches below are all over an eyeshadow primer.

Top row (L to R): Blue Oasis, Trust Me, Abu, Ali Ababwa, Sultana
Bottom row (L to R): Friend Like Me, Master, Cosmic, Cave of Wonders, Sand in the Glass

Top row (L to R): Lapis, Mystical Wonder, Rajah, Arabian Sunset, Bazaar
Bottom row (L to R): Thrilling Chase, Golden Sands

For the most part, the shadows all have pretty good formulas. Blue Oasis, Ali Ababwa, Friend Like Me, and Cave of Wonders were the ones that were chalkiest and that I had the most issue getting good color payoff with. Anything with shimmer applied fantastic and Rajah and Arabian Sunset are my favs!

Like the Jasmine compact mirror, this palette sold out very quickly, but can still be found on sites such as eBay and Amazon. What shade stands out most to you?

Sephora Disney Jasmine 'Three Wishes' Eyeliner Set Review/Photos

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but I only recently was able to teach myself how to properly apply eyeliner (specifically liquid eyeliner). I'm pretty proud of my newly acquired skills, but I'm still a veritable noob when it comes to the different types of eyeliner.

That's why I was so excited that the eyeliner set from the Sephora Jasmine collection came with three different types of eyeliner! The set contains a pencil liner, a liquid liner, and a gel liner with a brush.

The swatches are from left to right: gel, liquid, pencil, smudged pencil. I have generally been using liquid liner, but I'm definitely going to be adding the gel liner into my rotation. It looks a little more smokey and smudgey than the liquid and the control you have with the brush is just awesome. The two other liners are great as well, although I wouldn't really recommend trying to smudge the pencil liner out too much; I didn't get very good results.

Are you an eyeliner fanatic? If so, you can get this set at Sephora for $42. I wouldn't hesitate for too long though if you're interested in it; the Disney collections don't last forever!

Sephora Disney Jasmine 'Magic Carpet Ride' Eyeshadow Palette Review/Photos

Are you guys ready for another gorgeous products from the Sephora Jasmine collection? This morning I have the Magic Carpet Ride eyeshadow quad to share with you. While the shadows are pretty, the packaging is the true winner here. I don't honestly think that they could have done a better job on the design!

The palette opens up and houses the four eyeshadows as well as a mirror and two small applicators.

Here's a macro of the four eyeshadows. Wonder by Wonder is the shimmery purple on the top left. Carpet is the glittery purple on the top right. Splendid is the shimmery peach/champagne on the bottom left, and Diamond Sky is the bold blue on the bottom right.

The swatches below of the shadows are in the same order as the shadows are in the palette above. I swatched them using the included sponge applicators over primer. Carpet was the only one that was a little problematic since it has glitter, but the others all applied beautifully.

This palette retails for $30 and can be purchased from Sephora. I love how it includes two easily wearable and two bolder shades! Diamond Sky is to die for!
