The Gareth Pugh nail polishes that were recently introduced by MAC came in new square bottles and a hefty increase from the normal $15 to a whopping $22. With an increase like that, I pull out my wallet with high expectations. Was it really worth it? …Not quite. Let’s start with the bottles. While I [...]
Chanel has come out with some really spectacular colors this fall. Peridot, is the obvious MVP of this trio, but Graphite surprised the hell out of me and Quartz had a little something special, also. To the right are close up color swatches. Graphite looked like a glitter but went on like a foil and [...]
Peripera was definately not shy about their color range as they had no shortage of non-mainstream colors. I think I got incredibly lucky with the four greens I picked out as each one of them has something a little special going on. Again, all of these colors are two coaters and only Crystal Greene show [...]
I will be perfectly honest. I was more interested in getting nail polish with cats for the brush handle than the actual colors themselves. Seriously, how cute is that?!? Peripera is a Korean brand that I would have never come to my attention if it wasn’t for stumbling across Gmarket. Gmarket is a three-prong site [...]
I picked these polishes up in March, but they look like an Autumn offering, don’t they? I don’t own too many CQ polishes. Usually because they’re sold at Rite-Aid and I’m a CVS gal. While I really liked the first three I acquired, I was really not a fan of these. While I’m not the [...]
Of all the colors on this page, I was surprised to find Secrets to be the one I was drawn to. For a pearl, it went on beautifully. I like the light green, bordering on yellow color. While I find Toxic Seduction to be a gorgeous color, this is one color that I have actually [...]
This Grouping contains a lot of colors that I thought looked better in the bottle than on the tips. I had high hopes for Foxy & Folksy, Majestic Purple and Persian Carpet. But they just didn’t deliver the zing that the bottle promised. Rust, on the other hand, ended up being much nicer than I [...]
A very good UK friend of mine will often indulge me by helping me acquire European Nail Polish that I wouldn’t otherwise be able to get my hands on – thank goodness! Because these babies are hot! Cetuem is an upscale UK brand with a pretty expansive lineup of over 240 colors. After sending me [...]
Yesterday we should have stopped at Jamaica. I keep telling my dear child that I want to climb up the Blue Mountains and pick coffee. She looks at me like I’m nuts and says, “but we’re supposed to be on vacation.” Guess I’ll have to leave her home when I go to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro. [...]
What are the chances we are sunburnt like lobsters by now? Hopefully not. I packed SPF 50 and 30! Today we hit Grand Cayman. So onward with the Chanels!
