Deborah Lippmann "Dancing in the Sheets" & Sally Hansen "Aisle Be There"

This week I have a beautiful combination of polishes to show you. I started with Deborah Lippmann's "Dancing in the Sheets" (from her "Footloose" collection) and topped it off with Sally Hansen Diamond Strength "Aisle Be There", from a line of polishes with wedding-themed names. It's hard to tell from the photos, but the combination really was stunning. I loved it!

Here's a picture of it with the flash on. I really couldn't capture how sparkly "Aisle Be There" is. Maybe it's just my camera. It never wants to focus when my polish is too sparkly. :-/ Not only did it add tons of sparkle, but it added purple flash. "Aisle Be There" retails for about $5, available at most retail stores.

Here's "Dancing in the Sheets" by itself. It's a dark bluish-purple metallic polish. One coat looks dark purple, but the second coat makes it more blue, in my opinion. As you would expect from a high-end polish like Deborah Lippmann, the formula was great and the application was easy. I got this polish on Clearance from HSN, along with "Let's Hear It For The Boy", a light blue creme.

On a Trip with a Rockstar Pink DVD

Good morning my lovelies! For your viewing pleasure today I have a lovely purple manicure with pink glitter french tips. I've had every one of these colors for a few months now, but I'm so happy I finally got around to using them. As you can probably see, there was some shrinkage from the time I painted them last night to the time I took the photos this morning.

Wet n Wild Megalast "On A Trip", Sally Hansen HD "DVD", and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Rockstar Pink".

The base color is "On A Trip" from Wet n Wild's Megalast collection. It's a purple creme. Their Megalast collection has what Wet n Wild calls a Manicurve Pro Brush. It's very wide and flat. From what I've read on other blogs I think I'm in the minority, but I really like the wide brushes, and at the very least I prefer my polish has a flat brush versus a round brush. The Wet n Wild Megalast collection is available at most retail stores for $1.99.

On top of the purple base I put "DVD" from Sally Hansen's HD collection. It's a metallic purple with blue shimmer. I loved the color the second I saw it in the bottle, but when I got home and swatched it, it turned out to be very, very sheer. As it turns out, pretty much the whole HD collection works best as layering polishes. I've seen some manicures on other blogs where they are layered over black, and they all look wonderful. What I like about layering it over the "On A Trip" is that they're the same shade of purple, so I get that wonderful bottle color in the opaque I'm looking for. I got this one at Walgreens. It's been awhile, but I think it was $6.

I couldn't resist the urge to add some glitter, so I did french tips with "Rockstar Pink" from Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme Wear. It's a lot of pink glitter, with a little bit of purple, red, blue and gold glitter. You can buy this one just about anywhere for $1.99 as well.
