Ice Polish: Jasmine & Jafar.
✯ PR Sample ✯

And... the evil villain Jafar! Jafar is... wow, wow, wow! It's a purplish/magenta berry colored linear holo, but what makes it interesting, is there are also little bits of gold shimmer mixed throughout. It's hard to see the gold shimmer in the sun, but it really shows up in person in the shade. I also did three thin coats, plus Seche Vite topcoat. Application was the same as the first polish. I thought some holographic studs would look nice with this color. :-)
Today I have some holographic pretties from Ice Polish to share with all of you. Erin is coming out with the 'Dreams Come True... Not If I Can Help It' collection. It will be made up of 6 duo's representing Disney princesses & villains.The collection will be out June 30th. I was sent Jasmine & Jafar (from Aladdin) to review!
I was in my kitchen when I opened the package, and my kitchen lights really show off holo's, so I literally went "Wow!!! Ooooh!" when I saw these gorgeous holo's. I have a huge weakness holographic nail polish. :-)

First up is.... Jasmine! Since Jasmine is a princess after all, I thought the addition of some rhinestones would be perfect. (Sally Hansen). Jasmine is a light aqua or sea foam linear holographic polish, it's very reminiscent of Princess Jasmine's outfit. I used three thin coats and it went on smoothly and dried pretty quickly too. I topped it off with Seche Vite. It's stunning in the sun!
(Who else wanted to BE Princess Jasmine growing up?)

Blogging Break Over!
✯ PR Samples Mentioned ✯
If you haven't guessed, my little blogging break is over. ;-) It was nice to chill out and take a break. Not worry about scheduling posts, getting things swatched every weekend. I noticed by taking a break, my creativity for nail polish came back. Since I was usually only creating one look to wear for the entire week, I was able to better plan out my designs and put more thought into them.
I love blogging about nail polish and I love doing reviews, but I'm no longer going to push myself to get several posts up a week. It was draining me out and I was starting to become frustrated with blogging. Instead I'm going to blog when I want. If I only get one post up a week, so be it. If I get on a stretch of posting a few times a week, so be that. I want blogging to be fun for me, and I want to be excited about sharing things with you all.
I have a few reviews coming up. Look for a review of two stunning polishes by Ice Polish and another review of Winstonia Store nail strips!
Today I wanted to share with you some of the looks I created while on break. Some of these were taken with my regular camera and others are cell phone photos.

The Mermaid's Song (win a bottle!)
A year ago I started reading The Mercurial Magpie, after Kirby commented on one of my blog posts. I've watched her blog grow and change over the past year into something amazing. I've also enjoyed getting to know Kirby, who is one of my good blogging friends. I've enjoyed seeing pictures of her dog Mugen, and discussing the little quirks of our Filipino significant others, talking about blogging ups & downs, (our love for CG fairy dust), and we both have a wicked sense of sarcastic humor, lol!
The Mercurial Magpie blog is turning 1 year this month! Kirby will be having a huge giveaway including some amazing custom nail polishes based on her blog, that she had created by several indie makers. I was sent a bottle of The Mermaid's Song that she had created by Painted Sabotage. Kirby has a great love for mermaids that is perfectly captured in this polish. It's a stunning aqua green, with holographic shimmer, holographic circles and plenty of pretty gold, purple, green, silver glitters.
I used 3 coats for the photos below, plus Seche Vite topcoat. This is the first time I've tried a Painted Sabotage polish and the formula was great to work with, and evens out nicely. I also decided to forgo the usual bottle pose shot, in favor of these pretty "mermaid" beads- I'll call them! ;-)
I also tried it with a matte topcoat, and I adore the way it looks! (For best results I always use a regular topcoat to smooth things out, and then I use the matte topcoat).
Make sure to check out The Mercurial Magpie this Monday, Kirby will be getting things started with a huge giveaway! You could win a bottle of The Mermaid's Song, among many other awesome prizes!
The Mermaid's Song is also available for sale in the Painted Sabotage shop!

I know I posted this a few weeks ago, but that was before I was hit with several product reviews that needed to be completed, so I wasn't "technically" on a break. I've decided to extend my blogging break until sometime around the end of June or early July. We'll just call it my "Summer Break". :-p
This also means IG Sunday will be suspended for a few weeks. I've run out of scheduled posts for now, but I'll be back with some new bloggers when my break is over.
So... If you want to keep up with me, give me a follow on the Tunay Na Mahal Facebook Page, or my Instagram. I'm not totally going silent! :-p
I am also having a blog sale on Storenvy! There's still quite a bit of nail polishes left. You can view my blog sale here: http://tunaynamahalblog.storenvy.com/

Winstonia Store: Americano Nail Wraps
✯ PR Sample ✯
Happy Memorial Day! Hope everyone is a having a relaxing Monday! One of my favorite nail art companies, Winstonia Store recently gave me the opportunity to review some of their new nail wraps.
I was sent Americano & Pastel Impressions. Today, because it's Memorial Day here in the USA, I'll be reviewing Americano! :-)
They are very similar to Sally Hansen Salon Effects and apply in the same manner. It took about 10-15 minutes to do all ten of my nails. I love how festive & sparkly they are!

You get 20 nail strip wraps & an emery board. These can be purchased on Winstonia Store's website or Amazon.com.
They are very similar to Sally Hansen Salon Effects and apply in the same manner. It took about 10-15 minutes to do all ten of my nails. I love how festive & sparkly they are!
Pro's:
- Price is much cheaper than Sally Hansen Salon Effects.
- Lot's of pretty designs & colors to choose from.
- Strips are thicker, so if you align it incorrectly you can fix it easily.
- Plenty of extra strips to find the right fit for your nails, (or in case you mess up).
Con's:
- Even though I followed the instructions exactly, and used Seche Vite topcoat, the strips are peeling up a little on the sides of a few nails, after only 1 day of wear. (I'm not sure if they will actually last 14 days, I will let you know in my next review).
- Because the strips are thicker, I had to be very gentle when using the emery board to file off the excess. I was too rough on my thumb nail, and tore off a corner of the strip.

@ZoyaNailPolish Magical PixieDust: Summer Collection!
✯ PR Sample ✯
Today I have the Zoya Magical PixieDust, Summer 2014 Collection! Arlo, Bar, & Ginni can be purchased as a set, or individually.
Arlo is a pretty violet amethyst color with holographic glitter. I used three thin coats. The Summer PixieDusts have more of a jelly base, then the Spring Collection. Zoya Rooney from the Tickled Collection is my accent nail.
Bar is a lovely nude, or as I call it sand colored polish. I like this one a lot more in person, than I did when I saw the Zoya press release. Three thin coats, and I decided to keep with the beach theme by using Zoya Muse from the Bubbly Collection as my accent nail, stamped with Winstonia Store W108.
Ginni is a summery pink color. When I saw the Zoya promo for the summer collection I couldn't figure out why they would do another pink when they just had Lux in the Spring Collection... but they are completely different. Ginni is much brighter. This is 3 coats with Zoya Kitridge from the Tickled Collection on my accent nail.
Seeing them side by side, I think I prefer Ginni over Lux now.
Which is your favorite, from Zoya's Summer Magical Pixiedust Collection?

Nie-cy Polish Review!
✯ PR Sample ✯
Today I have 3 pretty spring colors from Nie-cy Polish to share with you today! I was sent Pace Mates, You are my Lady, and Le'le girl.
Le'le girl: a pretty pastel pink. It reminds me of ballet slippers. Even though it's such a light color application was no issue. Formula is quite nice, not runny at all. I used 3 coats, plus topcoat. Personally- you could probably even use 1 coat of this if you wanted a nice sheer nail color. I used Messy Mansion stamp plate MM18.
You are my Lady: Nice light green color. I thought it leaned towards aqua in the bottle, but it's more green on my nails. Again, application was great- I used 3 coats, plus topcoat. I used Emily De Molly stamp plate EDM04, and topped it with a bit of China Glaze Fairy dust on my accent nails.
Pace Mates: is a bright colorful yellow. I ended up using 4 coats with this one, it was a bit streaky, but no other issues. I used Emily De Molly stamp plate, EDM05. I stamped with Rimmel 60 seconds- Hot Chili Pepper.
