NOTD: Melon

Sponsored | Bought Myself | Press Sample | Nothing to Disclose

If you saw my post or my unboxing video I did on my iKatehouse haul you know that I got a beautiful lime green, with hints of gold shimmer, polish called Melon by S.he Makeup, I am obsessed with it! It's just such a bright and fun color for summer and I love the way it looks on me.

The application of this polish was smooth, it was not running all over the place. The first coat is pretty opaque, but it has a yellow look to it, once I applied the second coat it looked like the pretty lime green color in the bottle. Dry time was average, around 5-10 minutes. I've wore this polish a couple of times now and it wears really well, I had it on for around 3 days before I got my first chip, for me that's pretty good wear time. I was afraid this might stain my nails a little since it's green, but it did not stain them at all!

On my ring finger I used some of the stripping tape from the brand Fing'rs that I picked up at Walmart (totally forgot to write my haul post on those items, if you are interested let me know and I'll do a haul post on them) and make some kind of design LOL and painted over that with a black cream polish.

My pictures do not show the 100% true color of this polish. I really wanted to take the photos outside in the sun, but it refuses to shine lol. The first and third photos are the most accurate color.

I heard about this online store called iKatehouse and decided to try them out and make a purchase.
They offer cosmetics, jewelry, lashes, hair accessories, makeup brushes and other items all at super affordable prices. They also sale some higher priced items like NYX in there section called Fancy Stuff. Shipping prices are great too, $2.95 flat rate shipping and free shipping with any order over $39. I was browsing around on the site and seen a lime green nail polish that I just had to have so I found a few other things I wanted as well.

It was packaged very nicely, (snagged some stills from my unboxing video) all wrapped up in pink tissue paper and some packing peanuts. My actual items were packed in a sealed up plastic baggie.

I got two pair of earrings. One pair are sea shell earrings they were $1.49 they are super pretty! The other pair are silver dangle earrings with some rhinestones, they were on clearance and cost $.69! Both pairs of earrings are a lot bigger than I thought they would be.

I also got two sets of bangles, I love bangles! One set has 2 purples and 2 silvers, they were $1.49. The second set has 9 silver bangles 3 of them are twisted, very cool looking! These were also on clearance and cost $.89

I got an ELF concealer brush it was $1 I love this brush for cleaning up around my nails after I paint them.

Last but not least I got two bottles of nail polish from S.he Makeup one fuchsia/magenta looking one called Raspberry and of course the lime green one I mentioned above called Melon.

I am really happy with my whole shopping experince with iKatehouse, the site was easy to navigate and the shipping time was great! I placed my order on the 4th and it arrived on the 8th.
