mellow yellow

Finally managed to give myself a manicure!

My friend Jen (she’s having her baby at 9am Pacific time today!) has been singing praises of Sally Hansen’s Complete Salon Manicure polish for a long time. I’m a major cheap ass though and can’t see myself spending $8 for nail polish.

Well, yesterday at CVS, I checked them out to see if they were on sale and this creamy yellow (Yellow Kitty) was 75% off. $2 and it was mine!

A lot of ladies have been talking about the new Chanel color Mimosa. I think this is close enough to get the same effect. Mimosa looks a bit brighter in swatch pics but yeah. This is way cheaper, compared to $40. Since it was on major discount though, I’m not sure if they’re discontinuing it.

2 coats with flash and top coat

Application was strange to get used to with the wide flat brush but 2 coats did the trick and it leveled out nicely before the top coat was applied. I’m pretty happy with this brand but I still won’t be paying full price for it. :)

It does look close to Mimosa! I love finding things that are a steal and look like the real deal!

definitely! This polish has worn really well for 5 days so far! I’m very pleased with it.

Cute! I’ve always been a big fan of yellow, but my skin tone tends to not agree with it. Makes me sad.
