Updated Try it on Tuesday Manicure & Review

Did you know today is National Pink Day? I don't know why or what all that entails but apparently it is and I just happen to be wearing some pink on my nails... so there ya go. In case you missed my Try it on Tuesday post, I did my first Ombre using a few of my new polishes and you can read all about it here.

So now that I've been wearing this manicure for a few days, here's a short review of the polishes:

Sally Hansen Red Hot is a gorgeous red which oddly enough looks almost purple in certain light. It's definitely not the red I thought it would be but it is very pretty. It went on pretty smoothly with just one coat, also. Out of all of the polishes, this one seems to be one of the polishes enduring the best; I only have a few small chips so far. I'm surprised by this, as it seems my other Sally Hansen polishes chip easily; I would also expect the more expensive polishes to chip less. Money doesn't always equal quality, obviously.

Julep Mandy is probably the nicest, easiest polish I've ever applied; it was just about perfect with just one coat. If all polish were this easy to work with, I'd be happy! However, it also seems to be one of the polishes chipping the worst.

Now for the Zoyas:
Arizona and Kimber are also among those which chipped the least. Myrta, on the other hand, chipped the worst out of all of the polishes. Arizona is the most sheer of the polishes. With 2 coats, it was still streaky so it definitely could have used at least one more coat. Orange isn't really my color, so for me Arizona is just OK. Myrta, on the other hand, is gorgeous! It's so much more metallic than I expected. In certain light it just shines literally like a piece of metal. It really is a beautiful polish. Kimber is pretty but I'm actually not as impressed with it as I thought I would be. Actually, I wish Kimber had more shine and sparkle like Myrta. Still a pretty polish in it's own right though.

I really can't pick any one favorite out of these five, but I will definitely be doing more Ombre nails. I love this style and I love looking down at my nails and seeing a different look with each nail. Pretty awesome.

So, after looking at solid nails for a few days I got bored and added a golden rose top coat flakie by CoverGirl called Pink Twinkle. Unfortunately flakies don't photograph well, but here's a few pictures anyway! Enjoy :)
