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 [...]
Pop Polishes seem to have come out of the woodwork lately. A year ago, you could only find them a few places, namely at CVS.com and Beauty.com. Now they are at Nordstroms, Urban Outfitters, Amazon, 6pm, Zappos (who knew? This is where I got mine because it has the best selection), and the list goes [...]
Odyssey is one of those words that regardless if I spell it right or not, looks wrong. Too many y’s and not enough d’s. There are certain types of polishes that I’ve stopped purchasing a great deal of. I’ve really pulled back on the glitters because in the last year, I’ve worn zero. Wait, I [...]
Dior Flapper Pink came out with a bunch of other Dior colors several months ago when Dior revamped their brushes to the wider width. At first glance, the color is a pretty sedate pink that leans ever so slightly to peach. But if you look closely, you’ll notice the shimmer contains additional pink, lavender and [...]
These four babies are definitely from the same color scheme. It’s like a sea of polish, no? One of the things I love about these polishes is the bottles. The flowers on the polish handles are so appropos with this polish line’s name. And while it’ll probably be difficult to see in the photos, 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 [...]
I don’t actually make it into drugstores often enough to scoop up the latest and greatest drugstore polish offerings (i.e. where art thou Maybelline Cool Couture?!?!?!). When I do, it’s purely by happenstance. As was the case with the Revlon Edgy Elegance collection. And thank goodness, because a girl can’t have too many shoes or [...]
Castledew is a pretty extensive Korean brand offered by VOV Cosmetics company (the same company that produces the It Girls line). I purchased these from Gmarket, as I do most of my Korean polishes. As a side note about Gmarket, I love that most of the vendors provide not only company promo pics but also [...]
Normally when I set upon swatching a collection, the first thing I do is separate the colors into groups of four. I try to get similar hues together so they can be compared in the mini-swatches, like the one to the right. Invariably, I’m left with four colors that are the left overs and don’t [...]
I got a real kick out of the names in this collection. Someone put some thought into these 16 polishes, unlike other collections that have had metallic as their theme. All of them described the color pretty accurately and even though all of them might not have technically been metals, they stayed within the genre. [...]
