Today I'm bringing you a line of polish that is for both professionals and the casual user like myself. LCN professional nail polishes are formulated with a unique patented ceramic nanotechnology that marries natural ingredients with green chemistry. They are 6-free to include Camphor, free of parabens and do not test on animals. From the Industrial Innocence collection, this is WOW, a pink pearl with orange undertones. The pink really does glow on the nails and the orange undertone adds to the depth of the pearl.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. The formula was really nice - the brush is thin and round but I didn't have any issues with pooling. Because this is a pearl, there are some brush strokes to the polish but being a light color, it's not glaringly apparent when someone looks at your nails.
You can see a little bit of visible nail line that maybe go away with additional coats of polish but it wasn't as noticeable while wearing the polish during the day. Much like the pearl effect, it's only really visible when you're up close and personal. Oddly enough, the website lists this color as a hot pink creme but there's definitely a pearl finish and orange undertones in my bottle.
From now until March 31, 2016, you can purchase LCN on their Boutique website with free shipping using the code INDUSTRIAL.
LCN is available in both 8 ml (shown) and 16 ml. You can purchase on their website - 8 ml is $7.50 and 16 ml is $14.00. Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.

Need a palette cleanser polish? You know, that barely there, no fuss polish? Well Milani Lady-Like Sheer is just that. Despite me giving it a side eye on the name, I was actually not too mad at this polish.
I used a base of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. The formula was really nice and may have even been totally opaque with another coat but I figured this was supposed to be a lighter take on color.
Okay, so you can definitely see my natural nail without question but again, this doesn't appear to be a full creme polish - hello, read the name again. So what is this polish good for? Office appropriate, an undie color for glitters or when you don't want to just be using naked nails for a polish... Good stuff for those who need it and especially at just $4 a bottle.
You can visit Milani on their website and purchase directly or buy it in stores like CVS/pharmacy or Walgreens for around $3.99. You can Like them on Facebook, follow their Twitter, follow on Instagram and subscribe to their YouTube Channel.

I swear, that's not an octopus up there. Today I have the tweexy, the original wearable nail polish holder. Wear it on two fingers and be able to polish pretty much anywhere on the go.
The tabs on the side serve a purpose. Instead of trying to jam your fingers through the "ring" holes, you squeeze the tabs to open the finger rings, put your fingers around the rings, and let go of the tabs.
Then put your bottle of polish into the opening and push down to make sure it's in there sturdy.
Now polish!
So the good thing is that you can put this on any fingers - most people will probably decide to use their middle and ring fingers like so.
But for that super unfashionable claw look, you can use your index and middle fingers.
For reference, I'm using a bottle of Milani in "Lady-Like Sheer". The opening appears large enough for just about every type of bottle I own. I do wish the space was a little deeper so the bottle sat down even further, but I didn't have any issues while using it.
I'm keeping Bonbon Pink for myself but let's have a giveaway for the Sapphire Night (shown above) and Spa Green! Open internationally to all those ages 18 and up - ends on 29 February 2016!
tweexy can be purchased through Amazon (affiliate widget is on the right hand side of the screen). Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Pinterest.

Are you a mint person? I have a love/hate with mint polishes. Sometimes I love them and sometimes I'm more on the fence. Which one am I with Milani Mint Crush?
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. This polish was a little on the runny side and I got it all over my cuticles. I did try to clean up the best I could but I'm still see a little. No staining from the polish though, which is always good.
Okay, so let's talk about this polish. My index is a bit of a mess and probably needed one more quote to be opaque. The rest? Eh - I'm not sold on the color. It's more of a white based green mint which I'm not a huge fan of. This polish may end up in my charity box.

Happy Monday! Ready to get a little vampy? How about the Holiday 2015 "Gifted With Style" collection from Morgan Taylor? This is A Little Naughty, a red toned plum creme that is nicely office appropriate.
I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Glisten & Glow H K Girl top coat. This polish was thin-thick in that I needed to wipe the brush well so it didn't run down my brush but also it was thicker than I'm used to with Morgan Taylor. I needed to clean up quite a bit around my cuticles after applying but I didn't have any staining.
Nice and simple! I have to say, it's been weird having nubbins but it's so much easier for my job. I am on my computer a LOT more in this job and typing with nails isn't easy. I also love the way that dark cremes look on short nails, so maybe this is my chance to get through all my vampy dark colors! I sure have a lot of them.
Morgan Taylor [Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Pinterest | YouTube] is available at CosmoProf for $8.50 a bottle. Online, non-professionals can purchase Morgan Taylor at Ulta Beauty.
