NOTD: Sinful Colors Social Ladder & Wet n' Wild Kaleidescope.

Just a quick post on these awesome polishes I picked up from Walgreens for $1.99 each. I got Sinful Colors Social Ladder and Nail Junkie, and Wet n' Wild The Gold and the Beautiful and Kaleidescope. Actually I think Kaleidescope was .99c! I used Social Ladder and Kaleidescope for my nail of the day.


These polishes are cheap and also great quality. I had no application issues, they both applied smoothly. Social Ladder is a more sheer white with pink tint and little flecks in it. Kaleidescope is a little thin on the holo glitter, you have to build it up a bit with a couple of coats if you want major glitter. This is two thick coats of Social Ladder on the tip and one coat of Kaleidescope, followed by one coat of Rush top coat. The dry time on Social Ladder was pretty quick, however Kaleidescope takes a bit longer.. About 20 mins to be completely touch dry I'd say.


I tried to stamp a flower design over it using Konad special polish in white and m9 plate... TRIED is the operative word here. This is the only nail that came out half decent. I definitely need more practice!!

Overall I think the mani looks cute from a distance... you can't see the mistakes as much! These polishes are  GREAT for someone on a budget, the colours are gorgeous and the quality is still good.

What are some of your favourite cheaper nail polishes?

Nail polish haul and Keeki lip balms!

Hey Beauties!

Just wanted to share some pics of the Zoya Intimate collection I bought during their International Women's Day promo and the Konad kit my sister sent me <3 isn't she lovely?!


The Zoya polishes came in this cute carton made from recycled paper and printed with soy ink. All Zoya polishes are Toluene, Formaldehyde, DBP and camphor free and are vegan friendly. The Konad plates are really pretty designs, they are flowers for the most part! I tried out the cherry blossom stamp and it looks so cute, but I definitely need some practice before I post any pics lol.

I also received two Keeki lip balms from a question I answered on their Facebook page! They are absolutely lovely for sending TWO yummy lip balms! The flavours are Orange Creamsicle and Minty Vanilla Cooler. Thanks Keeki :)

I am really excited about Keeki, they are a natural beauty company started by two beauty mamas that wanted non-toxic products to use with and around their kids. The lip balms are certified organic and cruelty free. I will be doing a review on them soon and I cannot wait to order some of their non-toxic, water based nail polish!

Happy Saturday!
