Empower Collection by MAXUS Nails ~ swatches

*pr sample*



Hello my nail polish junkies :)  
Have you ladies heard if MAXUS NAILS?  Its the nail polish line that puts nail health first. 
Founder, Dasha in 2015 launched Maxus Nails after formulating three products in her essential line. She didn't lunched colors but instead she started  with three basic and yet important products in every manicure : nail strengthener , base coat and top coat. 
 I can't tell much of the strengthener because I don't have it, but the base and top coats are amazing.

Base Coat specially formulated to deep nourish and strengthen natural nail plate. Protects nails from staining and discoloration. Creates a ideal canvas for flawless application. It contains silk amino acids and tea tree oil. This base coat is simply amazing. It helped my nails a lot after I had my acrylics removed. My nails were weak , thin and broke so easy.  This base coat arrived just in time for me to use it on  my nails. It definitely helped me to strengthen them.  Plus it help my nail polish last over  a week! There are two base coats I love and this one is one of them :) btw did you know that tea tree oil its great to defeat fungal infections? And this base coat is infused with tea tree oil, so I guess it is moving to my number 1 base coat, coz no one wants to have fungal infection right? 

Moving on to Top Coat, formulated with ceramic  powder and nylon, helps manicure last longer. Provides chip resistant, high shine, quick drying and streak free application. I like how it makes the nail polish look like gel polish. I be honest and say that I don't like gel polishes. I have had them done once and they did look good , but were pain in the butt to take off, plus I notice that my nail plates were really damaged. I dunno maybe I didn't use a good base coat. But anyways I prefer regular , old fashion nail polishes.  Just like the base coat I really adore this top coat. Makes my nails shine! and if I reapply every two days it makes my manicure last really long. Plus it protects against UV fading. 



Now lets move on the the colors ! Dasha launched her nail polish colors in 2016 and guys they are gorgeous! The protecting nail strengthen formula is infused into each polish, so that you can skip a base coat. I personally love base coat and I can't skip it :) Each polish is packed with amazing pigment and beautiful color pay off. They apply like a dream and last so long on my nails. The brush gives really precise application. There is four colors in Empowered Collection :




*Admired ~ rich bold color of bordeaux. 
* Adored ~ pretty nudy pastel pink
* Inspired ~ classic red 
* Respected ~ vampy Merlot.




all colors applied beautifully. I only had problems with Adored coz it looked a bit chalky, but once I applied top coat it was all better :) on all swatches I applied two coats of nail polish :)
The nail colors are 7 free. 
\Also did you know that Angelina Jolie , Hilary Swank and Anne Hathway are fond of Maxus Nail brand :) 

Base Coat, Top Coat and All nail colors can be found at MAXUS NAILS.
Retail $18 each 

  

Sinful Colors ~ Starry Night


I recently picked up Sinful Colors Starry Night nail polish at my local  Rite Aid.
Gorgeous black polish with lots of glitter and square gold flakes. 
Its so beautiful. Perfect for Fall and Halloween. I think I got it form Halloween display. Let me double check to make sure. ( display pic at the bottom )
At first I used two coats then I added extra one. So I say three coats are enough to get the polish to be opaque. 
I don't remember when was the last time I wore black polish... probably back in Poland!
Sadly it didn't last long :( Two days tops and then it chipped off :( * cry face *.
Anyways take a look at this magical nail color :)
Price ~ only $1.99

Kupilam kilka dni temu nowe lakier :) Sinful colors ~Starry Night w Rite Aid.
Piekny czarny kolor z wieloma drobinkami broaktu. Niebieski, zielony, serbny rozowy, fioletowy. Ma rozniez zote kwadraciki :) szczerze te kwadraciki sa zbedne . Leiej sam brokat wygada :)
ten lakier byl juz kiedys dostepny. Teraz znalazlam go na wystawie Dress To Kill. Edycja z lakierami na Jesien i Halloween. Drugi lakier ktory kupilam to bardziej Halloween-owy :) Ale o nim pozniej.
Na poczatku nalozylam tylko dwie warstwy ale po czasie dodalam jeszcze jedna i kolor wygladal ladniej. Nie pamietam w sumie kiedy ja ostatni raz czarny lakier na paznokciach mialam.. moze to i bylo w Polsce?! Nie wiem sama...
Powiem tak ze dlugo sie jednak nie trzymal :( szkoda po dniu- dwoch juz starl sie  z koncowek i po odpryskiwal :( Szkoda :(  Moze jak uzyje Top Coatu bedzie inaczej. Teraz nie uzywalam wiec moze i dlatego tak szybko zdarl sie :(
Ok teraz poparzcie jaki ladny jest :)
Cena ~ tylko $1.99

How you like my iridescent  nails? 
I saw one account I follow on IG post a beautiful iridescent  nail art. 
I tried to copy it but... well I'm not good with all the designs ... The Girl she painted on top mermaid fins... I tried and I failed ! 
Anyways I just paint my nails with two different colors and then tried to mix them together a bit. I think I looks ok :) But... It could be better ....

* Nicka K New York ~ NY158
* Nicole By O.P.I ~ A Lit-teal Bit Of Love
* Milani Cosmetics ~ Dolci
