Compared to the previous NYX colors I posted, these four are positively colorful! Although I have to chuckle a little about the names. For as wildly creative as some of the newer polish names are, the length of the names get a bit difficult to add to the swatches because they can be so long. [...]
The next batch of NYX Advanced Salon Formula swatches may seem a bit on the sedate side, but there are a few here that really captured my interest. Fortunately, I’d categorized all these as work appropriate, for those that are concerned with that. And as stated in previous posts, you can find these for a [...]
Bobbi Brown’s City Twilight was a polish that was introduced with a Nordstrom’s Anniversary set. I don’t know if they are ever going to release it solo – I didn’t really want to risk that they weren’t. Fortunately, I liked the colors of the pallette and figured I could use it in my travel cosmetics [...]
I bought a new camera. It’s been sitting in its box for about 4 months now. I hate getting accustomed to new toys when I have such a groove with the old ones. But it was time. I know that once I figure out the new camera, it’ll probably produce better pics. But there’s a [...]
Chanel Trapeze is a very light beige shimmer. Rather reminds me of Caribbean beach sand. Not exactly the shade I’d reach for to bedazzle someone with my nails, but it’s a nice muted color for when you feel like being sedate. Shown is two coats.
Now that we’ve covered the Xtreme Wear glitters, let’s move onto the new shimmers. The shimmers in this line are very appealing as a group, but are not that unusual on an individual basis. These all sport an extremely sparkly shimmer that leans to glass flecked. With two coat coverage and the less than $3 [...]
When Yves Saint Laurent came out with Surreal Yellow in the Surrealist Sun collection, I passed on Surreal Yellow. A few times. Around the fourth time I went to Nordstroms (my absolute favorite place to get my high end polishes), I caved and purchased it. But I’m so glad I did. It came out the [...]
Foils are ultimately my favorite nail polish finish. I love the way they sparkle and reflect light. And I love that there is an ease to application that no other finish can rival. Which means I’m on the constant look out for more and more! So YAY!!! that Color Club has come out with a [...]
Muse is one of those colors that a year ago, I wouldn’t have looked twice at. But lately, I’ve been drawn more and more to these light shades. In classic Chanel style, they’ve added subtle glitter to a very light pink to jazz up what would otherwise be a somewhat forgettable color. You need stain [...]
