As promised, here's the polish I've found for my cousin!
We have yet to try it on her, so I'm still on the lookout for others. What she wanted: a translucent polish with a hint of color..... I'm thinking that if she doesn't like the shimmer of this one, I'm going to look into the french manicure colors. I saw a few that caught my attention... we'll see what she thinks!
This is Angel Wings from Sally Hansen, an opalescent polish: milky white base color, with shimmer that turns rosey in the sun. It's totally not my style, as I prefer cremes, but I think it's pretty cute and would be great for layering! This was 2 coats. Also, I'm still not used to Sally Hansen' new brush.....

Revlon Coconut Crush
So sorry for the lack of updates!
My marketing team and I just learned on Wednesday night that our big project (we have to develop a new product/service) and final presentation (pitch the idea to the class) is on the 23rd! We have less than 2 weeks to do it and prepare for it!!!!!! So my next week is filled with group meetings and late hours at school...
Anyways.... last week, I was able to swatch Revlon's Coconut Crush, from the Fruitful Temptation collection, which is a line of 8 scented nail polishes. Cool, isnt it?

Although it is nothing amazing, the color is a beautiful ivory frosted shimmer and like the name says, it smells like coconut! Pictured is 2 coats.
About the scent: it does smell like coconut and it smells good... at first. I don't know how I feel about my nails constantly smelling like fruit when I wear this polish. Honestly, I woke up with the smell of artificial coconut and it was not good at all.

Chrome Nail Makeup
Ouf.
I've been so busy!! Midterm is finally over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways.. a few weeks ago, I went to Sears and found some gems!! They had this little nail polish counter and there they were: Sally Hansen Chrome Nail Makeup. As the name says, they are nail polishes that dry to a chrome finish. These are super cool, but unfortunately, they are discontinued. I bought 2, for $5.99 each.
This first one I got as an 'extra' in a swap with a lovely lady. I didn't know what it was at first, but after a few searches, I found out that they were not selling these anymore.
This is Peach Crystal, 3 coats with top coat:
Peach Crystal wasn't great. I had a hard time with application (which you can probably see in the picture). Otherwise, I like the color, although I don't see any "peach" in there. It's basically white gold-ish.
Next, is Turquoise. Application for this one was good, smoother than the previous one. Like for Peach Crystal, I don't think that the color really reflects the name. This is NOT turquoise. IT'S BLUE! Anyhow, I love this one. Blue+chrome finish=gorgeous!

Last one is called White Gold. It is very similar to Peach Crystal, but you can still see a bit of gold color in there. Application for this one was also good and the finish is quite nice.
Can you say good buy?! I really love these and I especially love the fact that they're discontinued. Mouhahaha. They had a red one but it didn't appeal to me so I passed.
I guess I'll have to shop at Sears more often now :)
