Love it or Leave it...Sephora by OPI

We probably sound like a broken record, but WE LOVE NAIL POLISH!  Do you feel how passionate we are about the subject?  And lots of you who read our blog also share in our polish obsession. We want to share with you today a different kind of polish.  Sephora by OPI recently added a new kind of polish to their already large selection...Betsey Johnson Too Too Scented Nail Colour in It's My Pink.  What did that just say??  Yes, a nail polish that is infused with a perfume.  Huh?

What Sephora Says...

What it is:
A hot pink polish designed by Betsey Johnson and infused with her Too Too Fragrance.

What it does:
This nail lacquer is the ultimate accessory—combining Betsey's favorite neon pink shade and her signature, flirty fragrance in one scented polish.  The bold hue perfectly complements any afternoon adventure or adds a playful pop of color to an evening out with the girls.  Flash your fingers and take in the effervescent, fruity scent with every flick of your wrist.

Retails USD:  $9.50

Has anyone tried this yet or anything like it?  We wonder if the addition of a fragrance changes the formula at all.  And just how potent is this polish?  We would hate for a lovely polish like this to give us girls a not so lovely headache!  Would you guys try this?  The color is gorgeous and perfect for Spring & Summer, but...

We'd love to know YOUR thoughts!

Friday's Fancies: The Luck of The Irish

We're linking up today with Alison from Long Distance Loving for Friday's Fancies. Because St. Patty's Day is tomorrow, this week's theme is all about celebrating the Irish way. Whether or not you have Irish roots doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a great outfit using the color green as inspiration. By the way, we both have Irish roots but bet you can't guess which one has more Irish than the other! HAHA! We were told to go forth and put together an outfit without worrying about cost. Maybe it's the luck of the Irish or one of us stole the pot of gold from a leprechaun, but for this weeks Fancies we didn't have to worry about cost at all.

We've been craving green jeans so we centered our outfit around those. Take a look...

POTM...March Edition

As most of you probably know we started our Polish Of The Month posts back in August as seen here and we love showcasing a special polish or polishes (because sometimes two is better than one) every single month. There are so many awesome polishes out there that they really do deserve their own post! So without further adieu, we bring you...

March Polish Of The Month

Jayme's Pick - OPI Mermaid's Tears & Essie Shine of the Times Luxeffects Topcoat

Spring is here!! This month I wanted to feature a color in the green family since it's almost St. Patty's Day but also wanted to keep it very Spring-like and fresh. Mermaid's Tears is the perfect shade of sea foam green and as you probably know we are still in love with Essie's Shine of the Times. It definitely spiced up this mani and has become a true favorite here at HLNC! If Mendi hadn't told me that I needed it I would have totally missed out! Thanks M!

Mendi's Pick - Essie Navigate Her

In honor of St Patty's Day, I chose to go with a light green. I have plenty of green nail polishes, but most of them lean more toward the olive-y variety, which is more appropriate for fall. When I showed my hubz my St Patty's Day nails, he informed me that it wasn't the "right" shade of green. I let him know that I *might* need to go out and buy more polishes if he kept it up. ;)  In my opinion, Navigate Her is the perfect choice for this time of year.
