Shine Beauty Guru Review: Paint Nude! on your nails! Love the effect!

Beauty Guru Reviews Nail Polish Shade In Nude!

That would make quite the headline wouldn’t it! But its true! We got to review one of this season hottest trends-Nude/Neutral nail polish!  We got to test CND’s Colour & Effects line in Desert Suede and Gold Shimmer polish.

Their website touts “Content yourself with rich crème Colour or kick it up a notch with Effects.” (Colour & Effects- CND)

Oh, and how content am I!  I tried these polishe 3 different ways:Desert Suede alone, Gold Shimmer alone, and together.  

Here’s each shade alone (ignore the bad hands!):
  

 The Desert Suede alone was a nice change from the pinks and reds I’ve been sporting lately.  I wasn’t sure about it at first, kept looking at my fingers to check if I still had fingernails. It was that neutral!  My fiance told me it tlooked like I had been making ginger snap cookies and forgot to wash my hands. (I don’t listen to him about certain things, nail polish is one! Seriously, what does he know?)

The Gold Shimmer alone was also wonderful. It was so subtle and noticeable only if the light caught my hands just right!  I felt like it was my own secret beauty trick.  Plus, so much better than just naked nails.  Who doesn’t like to shimmer?!

The combo together was BOOM! (bam! is trademarked or something right?!?)  The gold shimmer toned down the Desert Suede and made it a beautiful neutral polish to wear every day, with everything! After a week and half this stuff had slightly chipped without a top coat! Its defienlty got long lasting ability which is a godsend in nail polish!

I’m not wearing it at the moment ’cause I’m testing wedding nail color. Neutral is too close with my cream dress, BUT as soon as we are on our beachy honeymoon in 2 weeks this combo will be on my hands and feet! Perfect for the sand and sun!

CND Nail polish is definetly worth the price!

Bonus: browsing through the website, they have tons of other colour/effect combos I’m dying to try!

Check them out here!

What’s wrong with being Jaded?

 

chanelcloseupsSalon visits get expensive!  And lately, who has time and money to sit down and get their nails done!  I’m all about diy manicures/pedicures. 

Especiall when it comes to fun colors!!

 Pale green is one of the hottest colors of the season! Chanel made it so when the models sported Jade nails in their Fall 2009 runway show.  Chanel sold in on their website and it quickly sold out!

Seriously, search Chanel Jade Polish and 153k results come up, all with tags like”JADE IS IN! BUZZ AROUND NEW CHANEL SHADE”  and many more!

 

If you don’t feel like shelling out the big bucks, check out  Essie’s great subsitution– Mint Candy ApMintCandyAppleple(which I got at Ulta and am painting on my fingers as we speak)!  You get the same effect with a much cheaper price tag!
