This is the last of my “ready-to-go-but-never-published” posts that was languising during my sabbatical. Between sales and a few eye-catching colors, I’ve recently ended up purchasing alot more Revlons than I have in quite a while. I think a good number of these are older colors, despite the “New Shade” skickers on the bottle caps. [...]
Chanel Rose Des Vents was one of the Chanel colors that at one time I searched pretty hard for. The bottle color just indicated the perfect muted pink. I was rather disappointed to find that it was quite pearly and the steaks are very obvious. Still a very pretty color. Just not a pretty application. [...]
When Yves Saint Laurent came out with Surreal Yellow in the Surrealist Sun collection, I passed on Surreal Yellow. A few times. Around the fourth time I went to Nordstroms (my absolute favorite place to get my high end polishes), I caved and purchased it. But I’m so glad I did. It came out the [...]
I actually have no idea where the title “L’Wren Scott Le Gris” comes from. I had seen these bottles on ebay for awhile at pretty high prices so I was extremely surprised to see them at Nordstroms one day during a *ahem* small shopping spree. They didn’t come packaged in a box and they are [...]
Today, a bunch of purples! I think out of this group, Forbidden Lust is probably the most striking. I can’t say that the rest of them stirred me up in any particular way. Fatal Affair is one of thosed Blackened colors that barely shows any color unless the light hits it the right way. Double [...]
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 [...]
I was a little surprised that Little Tease and Enchanted were my favorites out of this group. Little Tease was almost jelly like with shimmer. Most colors like this tend to be streaky messes, but this went on nicely. Enchanted is a shade of beige that I usually don’t care for. But for some reason, [...]
I realized, recently, that out of my 42 Misa colors, I had only ever swatched 2. Horrid, as this brand contained many lemmings that I had searched long and hard for. After a long weekend of swatching, I found myself rather underwhelmed by this brand. Yes, there were some very nice colors. But there were [...]
I’ve been wanting to try the Nail Tek polishes for quite a while, but kept pushing them to the back burner, opting to purchase brighter, snazzier, more colorful polishes. I finally found a site that had them on sale and couldn’t resist anymore. Now, I’ll tell you now, the Nail Tek line does not include [...]
The brushes on these new bottles are a bit shorter than the typical polish brush, but they are consistant. I was pleasantly surprised that they resisted going to the ever popular wide brush. Thank goodness. I love that they named the sparkly red color “Woman” instead of some version of ruby slippers. This looks like [...]
