Spring Nail Art From Target

Paid Sponsored Post

I went to Target and grabbed some nail items to do a spring nail art look. Since my nails are a bit beat up at the moment I first bought some false nails to paint on, which gave the added bonus of having a bit more control. Target had several brands to choose from, and all are good and affordable. For polish, I did a base coat with Sally Hansen Insta Dri  in Peachy Breeze. I then did a swirl pattern and dots with with Revlon Nail Art Neon in High voltage and Pink Glow.

I wanted something that seemed floral and that definitely invoked Spring, but I also wanted it to be a bit subtle too and not too stylized. I figured that type of look is also easier to make.  So I went for abstract and used a nail art brush to make an uneven X on each nail with the Revlon High voltage Orange, and then I used a dotting tool to dot on Revlon Pink Glow.  A shiny clear top coat really brings out the neon in the Revlon polish.

Here is the result:

A bonus of the Revlon products are that they are two sided and come with a white polish, so you would do this look on a white base instead if you wanted a different look or wish to to buy less products.

I saw a lot of neat Spring polish shades at Target, including a bunch more dual sided Revlon ones that could be used for all sorts of fun looks. Overall, it is a great way to get an easy and affordable nail art look.

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is marketed as base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color, and top coat, all in one. I grabbed a couple of bottles of the polish to try. Pictured below is a swatch of the shade So Much Fawn.

Right off, I didn’t particularly like the brush with this polish. It is wide and reminds me of the Borghese nail polish brush, which I don’t at all care for. However, the formula is fine and I got great one coat coverage with it. Without the extra coats from a bottom and top polish, it dried very quickly.

As for wear, it was OK. I didn’t think that there was as nice of a shine with this polish as I would have gotten with a top coat, but it looked generally OK. The polish wore about average in length for me. I am hard on nails and usually start chipping them a day later. Sally Hansen Complete Salon managed to make it to day two.

MAC Style Black Baby Goth Girl Nail Lacquer

I love, love, love, MAC Style Black Nail Polish iconin the shade Black Baby Goth. Interestingly though, it looks nothing like the swatch shown by MAC site.  They show it as a light purple shade, but it really is a deep black purple that looks almost black in low light but shows frosted purple tones in bright light. It is a gorgeous shade.

Here is the website swatch. It isn’t very accurate:

Here is the MAC photo of the bottle, which is much closer:

And here it is swatched on my nails in indoor light, but using a flash:

MAC polish is also one of my favorite formulations (my other being Sally Hansen Salon polishes). It applies nicely and wears very well. I am terribly hard on nails, but usually I can keep MAC from chipping for several days.
