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 [...]
It seems that some companies have realized that nail polish is now the new lipstick. When the economy dips, women look for bargain luxuries. Used to be lipsticks. Now it’s nail polishes (could be due to people like me who stopped wearing lipstick a decade ago in favor of glosses). Great for us gals that [...]
Chanel Topaze is one of those colors that had I not been into collecting Chanel polishes, I would have passed on. It’s a very warm, burnt orange color with gold shimmer, that while beautiful, clashes with my skin tone. Shown is two coats.
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 [...]
Let’s continue on with the Sally Hansen polishes, shall we? This seems to be the next installment of the Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Line. In my haste to scoop up these new colors before an appointment, I seem to have gotten a duplicate shimmer and missed one of the glitters, Twinkle Twinkle. Beings as the [...]
Aztec Orange leans just enough to red that I actually think I can pull this one off. It has orange and gold shimmer in it making it very dazzling. Cayenne Pepper is a red-ish brick shade with standard, albeit, heavy shimmer. Now I hope I correctly labelled Merlot. The bottle I received didn’t have a [...]
Close on the heels of the Holo Series, Kleancolor came out with the Chunky Holo colors. These received a bit of buzz but I’m not quite sure they are all that. All of them are in a jelly base and with the exception of Black Chunky Holo (swatch coming soon), the holographic glitter is exactly [...]
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, [...]
I don’t know if I was just lucky or if NYX Girls is just hitting home run after home run because I’m absolutely loving over 11 of these 12 new colors. Kinky Pink is my definition of the perfect summer hot pink: neon voltage with lots of shimmer. Maui Sunrise looked more red in the [...]
