Blue Revlons

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 [...]

The New Black – Literally

My favorite place in the world to buy nail polish is Nordstroms. It’s an event I indulge in about once a quarter to pick up all the new polishes. I love talking to the saleswomen, especially with January (isn’t that the coolest name?) who keeps informed on what’s coming down the line (although I think [...]

Way Back in Grade School…

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 [...]

MAC Unconditionally Fabulous

I may be feeling a bit guilty about Monday’s post. Alright, not really. But here’s a kiss and make up post to MAC. MAC Unconditionally Fabulous came out with the Glitter and Ice Holiday collection. The other polishes two were cremes, which, if you you follow this blog, you’ll know is not my particularly favorite [...]

Sparitual Goes Green

Sparitual is not the brand that first comes to mind when I’m looking for non-mainstream colors. But for the few they do have, they’re quite stunning. As evidenced by the four below. Optical Illusion is a mossy green glitter that sparkles gold. Sparitual doesn’t come out with a ton of glitters but when they do, [...]

CND Effects: Plum Truffle Sparkle

As promised on Monday, below is CND Plum Truffle Sparkle over my standard base colors. Although I thought Plum Truffle Sparkle seemed to coordinate well with the Plum Truffle base color, I think it loses some of it’s oomph on many of the other colors. There’s a subdued sparkle, but nothing earth shattering. The full [...]

CND Plum Truffle Duo

CND has come out with another glitter effect. The last time they did this, I was perturbed. Although I’m not a huge fan of CND touting a glitter as an effect (which, in my opinion, minimizes the awesomeness of the original effects), this one didn’t piss me off like the last one. Maybe my lack [...]

Serena Glam Slam: Pros & Bronze and Love is a Racket

This is by far my favorite Glam Slam offering. Predominantly because Love Is A Racket is just gorgeous. But also because this is the first Glam Slam offering where both polishes can be worn solo. In fact, I actually think they look better solo than they do layered. Love Is A Racket is a sparkly [...]

NYX Advanced Salon Formula – Part 1

During the last Cherry Culture sale, I discovered this new line from NYX, the Advanced Salon Formula. I was really excited as I’m a big fan of the NYX Girls line. Like the NYX Girls line, these bottles are square – a big plus!!! They kind of remind me a bit of the Lippmann bottles. [...]

Kleancolor 2 – Really Fine Glitters!

I will confess that the Kleancolor line is a fairly new addition to my polish collection. I’m not quite sure why it took me so long to “discover” them as they are extremely solid polishes for the price. The brushes are good and the polish goes on seamlessly. And to top it off, alot of [...]
