I keep wanting to call this collection Golden Safari. To the point of having to redo all my labels. Might be because I actually went on one fairly recently. The Golden Jungle collection actually included four colors, two of which were covered last week. Bengale was a Neiman Marcus exclusive. However, I’m finding that Dior [...]
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 [...]
Back to the Castledew polishes! This is where the Castledew polishes start getting interesting. There are some colors here that I’ve just not seen anywhere else. Fantasy Black is a black/grey base with predominantly silver glitter and slightly smaller red glitter. However, there is also the sporadic blue and green glitter. Highly unusual, no? You’d [...]
I was recently researching where I wanted to go for my next major vacation. I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that going to Korea solely for a polish expedition crossed my mind. A few times. Because polishes coming from Korea seem to have bling down to a science. And packaging. Are these not the cutest [...]
When I applied Gold Nugget, I was muttering to myself that there was absolutely no occasion nor any outfit that would warrant wearing this color. Yes, it sparkles like crazy, but seriously, would I want to advertise this shade? I think not. Then I swatched Fiery Orange, and although it was better than Gold Nugget, [...]
A couple years ago, I wished for a purple with pink and blue shimmer (actually it was amongst a list of colors I wanted to see). Purple Ink is the answer to this request to the nail gods. It’s beautifully complex and a must have. Spring is the season that lavenders take center stage. But [...]
These following colors are ones that were re-released by Nars last year. All the swatches displayed are with the re-released colors and not the originals. Nars Zulu was probably the most anticipated color of this re-release. It’s developed an almost cult following along with Anna Sui 915. The dark green jelly finish is one that [...]
One of the problems I have with doing series is that by the end of them, I run out of things to say. So let me close this one out by saying that I loved this collection of mini polishes. While the bottles are small, I think the value for what you’re getting is big. [...]
Are you tired of this line yet? hehehe I tend wear shades in cycles. Right now, I’ve been wearing alot of purples. Kinda goes with all the flowered dresses I’ve been wearing for spring. But I’ve never really cycled browns. I’ll buy them. I’ll swatch them. I’ll like them. I just don’t ever seem to [...]
The Lucy Darling was actually broken up into four different categories: Shimmering, Glittering, Sparkling and Spangle. The category names can be a bit misleading based on our typical definition of polish finishes. Don’t know if the Korean definitions are different or if it’s just a translation issue. These four are from the Shimmering Category and [...]
