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. [...]
Boy this page looks bright and colorful! When Dior originally came out with their wide brush, I was concerned. Once I tried it, I was relieved. However, recent collections have me rescinding my praises of this brush. I think the quality control has plummeted since these wide brushes were introduced. They no longer have perfectly [...]
Icy Dew and Glacier were both part of the Spring 2012 Icy Halos collection that was released in Asia. Of course that meant hunting high and low for these to colors.. which invariably ended up with me making a purchase on eBay. From what I gather (and I’m certainly not the expert as I usually [...]
When I perusing for new polishes, I only give Shu Uemura a half eye as they are so difficult to get in the US. But when I saw these three, I made a concerted effort to get my hands on them. These don’t have multi-color shimmer, aren’t holographic, don’t have flecks, flakes or flashes. In [...]
The next four Estee Lauder swatches are a mix from both the Metal Mania and Beyond Black collections. I’m a bit confused about Tempestuous. On the Nordstrom site, it belongs to the Metal Mania collection and on the Estee Lauder site, it doesn’t exist. It’s also very peculiar that Estee Lauder still doesn’t have their [...]
I don’t check out the Estee Lauder polishes colors all that much as a) they don’t seem to change all that often and b) it’s usually some version of pink or red. But I was scanning the Nordstrom’s website for any new polishes and something made me check out them out. I was very intrigued [...]
I was told once by a cosmetics saleswoman that the reason some cosmetic lines don’t offer nail polish in the US but will market in other international markets is that the FDA requirements for importing nail polish is constantly fluctuating thus making companies tweak their formula too often to make it worthwhile. I don’t know [...]
Let’s talk about some Blue Revlons, shall we? I hit a jackpot Rite-Aid recently that had more Revlons than I’ve seen together in awhile. So I did the only reasonable thing a girl could do, I bought a bunch of them. I have a girlfriend that is enamored with robin egg blue colors. She’s actually [...]
When I picked these two colors up, I actually didn’t pay too much attention to the names as I was positive I didn’t have them in my collection. After I was labelling the graphics, I had to laugh. I’ll agree with Whimsical, it’s an apropos name. But Popular? Really? These names were obviously targeting the [...]
