Cherry Blossom by Sinful Colors Professionals

Today I bring to you "Cherry Blossom" by Sinful Colors Professional. 

Now, if you follow us on Facebook then you've watched our "weekly nail polish update"  video and you've seen the new additions to my "Sinful Color" Nail Polish Collection!

This nail polish looks as delicate as the name and is full pink shimmer! (this reminds me of Ms Bree's new favorite show Shimmer and Shine)

Don't forget to apply a base coat before applying the color.  There are a couple of reasons why I always recommend base coat before applying any polish but especially a dark color polish: 

a.  It helps the nail from staining when using dark colors. Here is an extra tip, use a "nail hardener" to keep nails healthy and strong, then apply the base coat, and

b. The nail polish tends to last longer when you use a base coat.

As you can see on the picture above, the color is very light after just one coat but you can still appreciate the amount of shimmer.  It will be perfect for any little girl!  

One coat didn't do it for me therefore I applied a two more coats. I really wanted to capture the color of "real cherry blossoms".

This nail polish doesn't require a top coat as it contains a lot of shimmer but I highly recommend it, especially if you want to give your nail and extra glossy look.

*Sigh* the final product!! Isn't it lovely??  I added something new this time, a little applique!

What do you think?  

Remember, you can grab this nail color or any Sinful Color Professional nail polishes at your local store from $1.99- $2.99!

"Thimbleberry" by Sinful Colors Professional

Welcome back my beauties!! 

I hope everyone is having a good week so far.  We are definitely staying busy around here with only 32 days left of school!!  

Baseball season ends on May 9th, Ms. Bree is having her recital on May 21st then our family vacation! I am looking forward to that time at the Beach!!!!

After the beautiful teal color nail polish from last week ("Savage"), today I'm bringing to you "Thimbleberry-108".  This is also by Sinful Colors Professional.  (I just love the $1.99 price on these nail polishes)

Thimbleberry is a prefect "spring color", it has that vibrant dark pink "coral" finish to it.  The more coats you apply, the brighter the final color is.

One of our loyal readers commented on our Facebook page: "Gina H-S" I have this one!! It works on all skin tones!! It's my go to spring/summer color!

Thimbleberry is a prefect "spring color", it has that vibrant dark pink "coral" finish to it.  The more coats you apply, the brighter the final color will be.  

It also has a shiny look to it once it's completely dried but I always recommend the use of a base and top coat.  In my opinion, using a base coat gives the nail polish an even look and the top coat will allow the nail polish last longer.

Another of our loyal readers commented on our Facebook page: Christeena C-M W: My son picked that exact color out for me <3.

I personally love this color! Share your thoughts?

"Savage" By Sinful Colors Profesional

Hey there my beautiful people!! 

Yes, this is another post on our series of "Our Favorite Spring Color Nail Polishes" .   If you missed that post, just click on our "Featured Post" link!

 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm determined to step out of my comfort zone and try new things by adding more bright color items to my wardrobe and also to my nail polish collection. 

If you have not figure it out yet, you probably will soon.... I am a nail polish fanatic and Sinful Colors Professional are by far my favorite line of nail polish.  They are affordable, durable and the long brush makes the application of the polish onto my nails a lot easier.   I purchase most of my nail polishes at my local pharmacy for $1.99.   Sometimes they are on sale for as low as $0.99 (sometimes even less if you use your Walgreens card or RiteAid Discount card) With those low prices, Hubby allows me to indulge in my little habit. 

"Savage" #950

  

After I removed my last nail polish, I filed and buffed my nails then I washed my hands thoroughly.

I always apply a Base Coat before applying my color polish.  The base coat I use is also by Sinful Color Professionals.  

As you can see, this polish gives a "matte" or "opaque" finish.  If you are a lover of a matte finish then no need to apply any more coats! Believe it or not, I acquired this color with only ONE coat.  The more it dries, the more opaque it becomes. 

I decided to apply a second coat because some of my nails didn't have an even finish.  The color didn't change by much after applying a second coat.  It dried pretty quickly and it was very easy to tell once it was completely dried.  

I like my nails to have that glossy finish.  Therefore I used Top Coat by Sinful Colors Professionals.  

I am truly amazed by the quality of these products.  Even if you have to purchase a base coat, color polish and the top coat polish.  You can do it all, for less than $7.00 and  your nails can look beautiful all the time.

Give them a try, you won't regret it... Share your thoughts with us on the comments below! We would love to hear your opinion. 

Easy Spring Crafts for Kids- Project 3: Easter Egg Wreath

I just love spring and the many activities we can do during this time with our kids.  As I mentioned on our first post, I love spending quality time with our children which is very important to me.  

Ms. Bree knows how much I enjoy making new wreaths for our home.  Therefore, she wanted to make one for her room.  Instead of buying all the materials I would normally buy to make a wreath for our front door, I decided to buy this pack of 30 Foam shapes. 

All Easter theme items are on sale at 50% off their regular price at our local crafting store and the final price for the foam shape pack for $4.79.  They already have the "egg" shape we need and the pastel colors are perfect for this project.

PROJECT 3

EASTER EGGS WREATH  

Unlike the last two projects, your little ones are going to required a little bit more of your help, specially with the assembling of the wreath.

What you will need to have: 

13 Oval Shape Foams (or Easter theme scrapbook paper);
Glue;
Markers; and
Piece of Ribbon

First thing to do is to ask your child how big they want their wreath to be.  I used thirteen (13) shapes to create ours.  

The next step is to decorate the oval shapes.   You can use markers and draw lines, circles, flowers, whatever design your little one wants to have or you can print Easter Eggs Coloring pages, color, cut and paste them onto your shapes. 

Once the shapes are decorated to the satisfaction of your little artist, it is time to assemble the wreath. 

You will need two pieces of ribbon of you choosing.   Make a bow using your first piece of ribbon and glue it to the front.  

Add the second piece of ribbon to the back of your wreath to hang it and now you're all done!!   

There it is ladies and gentlemen.... for less than $5.00 your little one can create his or her own Easter Theme Wreath!! 

Happy Crafting and stay tuned for our next Easy Spring Crafts for Kids!!  

Our Favorite Spring Nail Polish Colors!

Hello Everyone!! 

It is officially spring and what girl doesn't love getting pampered? I know I do and so does my little princess. 

Getting our nails done it's more than just "getting our nails done", it is our mother & daughter time and to me, spending time with my kids, individually, is very important.  

Ms. Bree and I can get in trouble  very easily, we both enjoy shopping, eating out and yes, getting a manicure and pedicure done.  Whether, we get them done professionally or whether is me doing the job at home, we both enjoy our time together.

Here are a few of our favorite spring colors:

Green with white polka dots. 

Starfish by Sinful Color Professional

One of my favorite colors, "Vacation Time" by Sinful Colors Professional.  It is a very calm, between a rosy/brown shade and it really doesn't require a lot of heavy coats to obtain the desired color.  It is very glossy and it is perfect for my beach vacation.

Perfect for a night out, "No Text Red" by Sinful Colors Professional

When you do things together, the kids really don't care if things are perfect!  They will only remember that you spent time with them and that you tried! 

While most of my nail polishes are from Sinful Color Professional line, I have a few that are from different brands..  This is a Pure Ice "Home Run"!  I paired it with a similar color sheer shirt and white shorts.  It was really fun to wear this color.  (stepping out of the comfort zone here)

"Courtney Orange" by Sinful Colors Professional 

This is a true vibrant color.  It is a sheer orange with a hint of gold glitter.  

While I love this color by Sally Hansen Insta-Dry, I really don't care for their brush.  It was very difficult to apply an even coat.  Nevertheless, the "Rush Hour" #350 color is a beautiful color to wear.

This is a soft pinkish color, "Scandal" by Sinful Colors Professional.  This is a cozy, warm beautiful pink.  It doesn't require many coats to acquire the desire shade.  

"Dream On" by Sinful Colors... I just love this bright color!  Now, when dry it has a "matte" finish to it, so I definitely had to apply an extra coat of the glossy polish but the results are beautiful.

I would like to try colors like "yellows" and "blues"... maybe next time!
