On My Nails: Orly Rage

I've been wanting a rose gold polish for a while, and I've heard good things about Orly Rage, so I picked it up at Ulta about a month ago. Now, this isn't exactly the go-to color that I'd think of for summer, however, I think it serves as a really great neutral. It's a lovely shade,  it's very flattering, and it isn't as distracting as a bright blue or hot pink. I still don't think it is exactly what I was looking for in the rose gold department. I want something a little more rosy; unless you are in sunlight, this often pulls more gold or even silver at times. I'm also till having the weird bubbles in my polish as well and I'm convinced it's the top coat I'm using. Sorry if that's a bit distracting!

^^ See the stupid bubbles? GRRR.

So 2 questions:
1. Have you found the perfect rose gold nail polish?
2. What are your recommendations for a base or top coat?

A Haul For You All

After a few trips to the store, I've accumulated a few different products I wanted to share with you all. My hair has gotten pretty long and it's become a bit difficult to manage so I wanted to buy a few products that might help with that. I went to Ulta to find the Not Your Mother's Detangler, but it wasn't in stores. Instead I picked up the Tangle Teezer which I am convinced is a Houdini brush. If you have long or tangled hair, I highly recommend it. To help with serious tangles, I picked up Johnson's detangler because kids detanglers always seem to do a good job (who knows). I've seen a few tutorials using products similar to the Hot Tools Rollers, so I thought I'd give them a try as well, since my hair takes forever to style. I also picked up Target's Blackhead Scrub, NYC's Sunny Bronzer, and Orly's Rage; a few products I've been wanting to purchase.

Sorry about the short post! I have to write this quickly because tomorrow (well, today) I'm starting my first day of work and I have to be up at 6... which is a difficult task for me. Wish me luck. Are there any products you've recently purchased?

On My Nails: Bikini So Teeny

Wearing blue on my nails was very different for me, but I love it! And can you imagine, this is my first Essie polish? I have to say that I prefer the bigger brush on this Sally Hansen polish for painting my fingernails though. It took two coats to get a really opaque look. I am having one problem, and you might be able to see in the pictures-- my polish keeps getting these tiny bubbles in them. I think it might be the base coat I'm using, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I love the color. I think it fulfills part of my childhood obsession with Cinderella.

What are some of your favorite Essie polishes?

On My Nails: Kook-A-Mango

For some reason I think nail polish looks weird on me, so I usually end up not wearing it. I'm also pretty terrible at doing it myself, so I tend to just keep my nails natural. I figured that if I'm going to actually wear some, I won't do something too crazy. I've had this Kook-A-Mango color by the Sally Hansen Salon line for a while now, and so I thought I'd give it a go. The color is really beautiful, a kind of coral red, and after two coats it was opaque (you honestly could go with just one). I've really grown to love the brush too. At first I hated it, because I only paint my toes, and the brush was too big. I'd just make a mess. However, for fingernails it makes the application process way easier. I topped it off with the Sally Hansen UV Top Coat from this kit, and I really love how it looks!

What nail polish should I try next?
