Sally Hansen: Blueberry Blast VS Pacific Blue

*Products Are My Own

Hey guys! I am back today with a post on two very similar-in-bottle Sally Hansen nail polishes, both of which are blue.

These come from their Hard as Nails: Xtreme Wear line.

The first one that I have up to show you is called Blueberry Blast. This one is a medium blue with subtle sparkle throughout. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, and there was no staining at all.


The second one, is just about the same in the bottle. It is the famous Pacific Blue, but the newer formula. It is medium blue with subtle sparkle. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, with no staining from this one either.


Comparing them side to side is what really determines if they are the same or different because each pic of each polish, the lighting and times could be different, although they do look similar even with the lighting. Here they are side by side, pointer and ring finger are Blueberry Blast and middle and pinky are Pacific Blue. 


You can see, they are both quite similar in color. The only differences that I could tell is that Pacific Blue is thinner than Blueberry Blast, a smidge less blue, and less sparkly. In terms of you needing one over the other, or needing both? I say if you have one already, and I am guessing more of you guys will have Pacific Blue over Blueberry Blast, you do not need the other. Unless the bit of visible nail line is an absolute deal breaker for you, then by all means, Blueberry Blast it is. 

I am gonna keep both cause why not, one of my friends gave me Pacific Blue, but I would not go out today and purchase both cause I feel they are both similar enough that it doesn't make sense to have both.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel: Let's Get Digital

*Product Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you guys one of the prettiest polishes I have ever seen.

This isn't some polish filled with the cutest or wackiest or best glitter ever, it isn't a polish that has the most holo glitter in it ever. It is super gorgeous though.

This is Sally Hansen Miracle Gel in Let's Get Digital. It is from their gel line. These polishes are like gel. They last longer from chips and have a great shine.


Let's Get Digital is a lovely sheer baby blue filled with pink micro glitter that shifts in the sunlight. It almost appears as a holo but not quite. I did three coats by itself. This polish would be great over a pink, or a white, or a blue.


This is such a pretty color. I love how sparkly it is when you go outside in the sun. I would definitely recommend this color in your collection. It did pretty good in terms of wear as well, not as fast to chip as usual polishes.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes retail for $10 in stores. I picked this one up from TJMaxx for only $4.99 so maybe check your local store to see if you will get lucky like I did.

Well, that's all I have for you guys today. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Formula X: Stand Out and Blend In

*Products Purchased By Myself

Hey guys!

I am back today with a new post on a couple Formula X polishes that I picked up recently.

One of these is bold and the other is a bit more subtle. You can decide which ones you feel match each theme.

Here is a preview:


First up, this one is just from the brand Formula X. It is called Funky. This is a metallic medium blue with a bit of a purple shift in the light. I did two coats by itself. Application was great, and it didn't stain at all.


The second one I have to show you guys is from Formula X for Sephora. I don't think, with or without "for Sephora" really means two different brands, I think they just decided to drop the for Sephora part cause they have always been sold by and in Sephora. This one is called Heroic. This one is a metallic rose gold with lots of micro gold glitter flecks. I did three coats by itself. Application was great. In the light you can see the flecks more.


The first one I picked up at Sephora on sale for $5, and the second came in a three pack at Ross for $4.99. Lately Ross has had tons of these polishes in three packs, so if you are looking for start a collection of Formula X polishes, that's the place to start.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now! I will talk to you all later, bye!

PRO by PROfUSION Nail Lacquer

*Products Purchased Myself

Hey guys!

I am back with a post on some polishes from a new to me brand.

I picked these lovelies up at TJMaxx a couple of weeks ago.

These are from the brand PROfUSION. I am sure you guy have seen this brand sold in drugstores and TJMaxx, Ross, and other such discount stores. I have never seen polishes from this brand until a few weeks ago.

They only had a handful of colors to choose from, and I picked up the two I thought were the prettiest and that I could work with.



Neither of these have any names as far as I can tell.

The first one that I have up to show you guys is a nice glitter topper. It is a clear base filled with micro holo glitter, small holo circles, medium holo circles, and large holo hearts. I did one coat over Formula X for Sephora's Funky. It was a little hard to grab out the hearts.


The next one that I have is a lovely baby rose pink. It is filled with micro holo/silver glitter. It was a little hard to capture on camera. I did three coats by itself. Application was great.


In the bottle these polishes don't look any more special than LA Colors or any other cheap nail polish. When I put them on my nails, I really thought these were unique and I would totally pick up these polishes again if TJMaxx or other stores still carried them. At TJMaxx, I picked these up for the super affordable price of $1.49 each.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Minty Leesha's Lacquer

*Product Sent to Me

Hey guys!

I am back today with another Leesha's Lacquer Mini.

This is another mini, and another one of a kind

This one is a lovely minty green sparkle. It has micro blue glitter throughout. I did three coats by itself.


Application was good, but it is a little thin so it drags a bit. In person it is more green. This is such a fun color, I love the frosty look.


Later this week I will have something different up to show you guys. I picked up few polishes from a brand I didn't even know made nail polish, and a couple China Glaze, a Sally Hansen I have been wanting for a while, among other polishes my mom gave me and I have had in queue for a while.

That's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye for now!

One of A Kind: Leesha's Lacquers Makes Another Appearance

*Products Sent to Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you guys some more lovely Leesha's Lacquers polishes.

The three that I have up to show you today are all one of a kinds and are all glitter polishes.

The first one that I have up has a milky white base. It has large black hearts, medium purple circles, small black and hot pink circles, and micro black glitters.

I did three coats by itself. Application was great and it was easy to clean up.


Next up, this polish has an off white base. It is filled with micro black and copper glitters. I did three coats by itself. Application was great. I love how well the glitter came out, I got a nice coating of it.


Lastly, this one is a glitter topper that I decided to show you by itself, so I could see how well it built up on its own. This one includes large silver moons, medium blue stars, and tons of small red and blue glitter, in a clear holo base.


Application was great as usual. It was very shiny and my camera freaked out so this was the best shot I could get. This would look good over blue or red, and would be perfect for the fourth of July, Memorial Day. It is very patriotic.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Sparkle and Shine: Revlon and Orly

*Products Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today with another lovely Revlon polish, along with a gorgeous Orly polish.

I really love flakie and glitter polishes as you can tell so that seems to be a theme lately.

I decided to do a mani doing every other nail each color. My ring and pinky fingers have Revlon Desirable and my pointer and middle fingers have Orly Pixie Powder.


Orly Pixie Powder is a silver glitter packed polish with a pinky-purple color shift. I did three coats by itself. Application was great! Revlon Desirable is a dusty rose polish with subtle micro silver glitter. I did three coats by itself. Application was good, hard to do clean up with this color.


I love both of these colors. Desirable is very unique, I haven't quite seen a color like it. My pictures don't do it justice at all. Pixie Powder, I have seen polishes like this before, but it is still such a gorgeous color and great application. I would totally recommend both of these colors.

Revlon retails for around $6 in most stores and Orly sells for $9-$10 in salons, and you can pick select colors up at TJMaxx for around $3.99.

That's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!
