The next batch of NYX Advanced Salon Formula swatches may seem a bit on the sedate side, but there are a few here that really captured my interest. Fortunately, I’d categorized all these as work appropriate, for those that are concerned with that. And as stated in previous posts, you can find these for a [...]
Icy Dew and Glacier were both part of the Spring 2012 Icy Halos collection that was released in Asia. Of course that meant hunting high and low for these to colors.. which invariably ended up with me making a purchase on eBay. From what I gather (and I’m certainly not the expert as I usually [...]
I have recently been pulled in by Estee Lauder more than I have been in years. I was originally drawn to her latest offerings because of Metallic Sage. But when I saw the swatch of Porcelain on the Estee Lauder website, I thought it had to be the potential of being a clean and muted [...]
Chaud-Froid is probably one of Chanel’s more frosty colors. Combine that with the white shade, I was expecting disaster, but it actually wasn’t that bad. Although it was thin going on, it wasn’t chalky or extremely streaky like most whites and it didn’t leave blaring lines like most frosts. It did need three coats to [...]
I actually have had most of these Castledew polishes for a few months before I got around to swatching them. In the meantime, I had bought and swatched the Serena Glam Slam OPI polishes. So when I returned to the Castledew bottles, I had to giggle as the first two of these were so very [...]
I own very few Laura Mercier polishes. Besides the four shown here, the only other one I have is Caviar Dreams. I don’t know if there are some colors I may have missed but I’ve not actually seen many others (I passed on a red creme and a silver shimmer), and I’m pretty certain there [...]
It’s been awhile since I’ve swatched any Nars polishes although if feels like I just swatched all of them yesterday. A year and a half later, I turn around to realize that I have a dozen more. Three of the four in this quartet are fairly new. I believe Alamo came out around two years [...]
If some of these look familiar, ha! it’s because they are. I think that polish lovers adore greens because it’s still slightly risqué. Not that you won’t find it aplenty at a college campus. But in an office building, you’re more apt to find black fingernails long before you find green. I can attest to [...]
I have a confession. I have the hardest time buying just one bottle of new brand. At minimum I usually buy two but normally I buy 4. It just seems like such a nice number for the start of a new brand in my polish collection. Invariably, there is at least one color that I [...]
