Nail Ritz Review

I had originally seen this around the holidays on QVC and was pretty excited when I received it as a gift for my birthday.

This kit contains ten "fashion" colors that can either be applied as a polish or squeezed out of a little needle for art designs.

I've given these a shot for the past few weeks and am sorry to say that while the idea is great, the product is not. Upon applying, the polishes seemed almost separated and had no pigmentation at all. In fact, there were a few that I literally had to take off and start all over. None of them went on evenly both from the brush and squeeze tip, not to mention, they chipped almost immediately after drying.

I'm wondering if these problems happened partially because they were kept in a closet for a couple months but honestly, I'm not much of a fan. I prefer my solid colors over nail art any day.

Note: I purchased these products with my own money. The opinions expressed in this post are those of my own. I have never accepted any kind of compensation in exchage for a review. For mor information, please check out my Disclaimer.

Art Deco Nails!!!!

...aka...my sad attempt at nail art.

This weekend I decided to play around with my art pens and see what kind of look I could come up with. I started with Wet n Wild's Megalast polish in Private Viewing (neutral light pink) and added splashes of

blue polish from Nail Ritz. A Day later, deciding this wasn't enough, I took the pink end of the nail pen and drew some lines and dots as well. Unfortunately, it lightened a lot once it dried so that part isn't as noticeable.

NOTD & First Impressions

I decided to go for a lighter color so I used Wet n Wild's Megalast polish in 2% Milk. I also decided to try out some of my Nail Ritz pens I got for my birthday so I just made green and blue stripes on my ring fingers.

This was the first time using these and I have to say as of right now I'm not sure what to make of them. The came out more like a gel and at first it seemed just like clear liquid was coming out from the needle. I don't have an opinion on these as of yet.

Btw, If you like the new Megalast polishes, go to Walgreens...they have a buy 2 get 1 free sale and there's not one bad color in the bunch.

Birthday Haul

I am so excited!!!! I got so many fun gifts (and gift cards) from my family and have a lot of ideas for future posts :)

Something I'm really excited to try out are a set of nail pens. I had seen these on QVC during the holidays but every time I even considered ordering they'd sell out. I honestly have no clue as to how these will end up but I can't wait to try them out!

I also got a set of sprays and a "bath spa" set which consists of gel, bath salt, lotion, etc.

My sister gave me a two-part gift....the first was a scarf which I think will look really cute in the office(couldn't get a good enough picture of it), and the second was a couple of very tasty cakes-we ate them so quickly that there wasn't time to get any pictures...lol

With some gift cards that I was given and had managed to save up, I went to Sephora where I got the Too Faced Natural at Night Palette and was given my VIB gift-a set of two lip balms from Bliss.

The Bare Escentuals boutique was a lot of fun! The sales associates let me try out the skin care products that I had been curious about and really took the time to explain all the details about what they do and how to use them. I walked out with the Exfoliating Treatment Cleanser, Deep Cleansing Foam, and the Purely Nourishing Moisturizer. I also picked up the Ready Touch-Up Veil along with one of the 2.0 shadow duos in The Scenic Route.

Last but not least, my fiance surprised me with a really pretty gold chain necklace that I had wanted. It's quite long and can be worn in multiple ways (I've been having a ot of fun with it for the past few days :)

I'm really looking forward to trying all of these products out, along with posting all of my reviews. Keep an eye out for upcoming posts!
