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 [...]
Juicy Vernis sounds like the name of a fruit smoothie bar. “I’ll take a Berry Banana Blast, no whip, please.” These Lancome polishes are old but you might be able to snag a few like I did when they occasionally pop up on ebay. Like any line that I have totally missed and hasn’t been [...]
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 [...]
These four Nars colors are definitely on the subdued side. While Versailles was a recent edition to the Nars line, I’m not quite sure when the other 3 came out. As of now, they are not available on the Nars site but you can pick them up fairly easily on eBay. Versailles is a pale [...]
I remember a time when Loreal seemed to have several different lines out at one time and all of them contained stunning colors. I’ll not date myself and say when this was, but it’s been awhile. Despite the gorgeous square bottles and the pristine brushes, I’ve not purchased Loreal in about that same time frame [...]
Chanel Summer 2011 Collection: Barely There to Blinding Color Chanel’s Summer 2011 Collection has been much anticipated, predominantly because of the bright-as-the-sun Mimosa color. But let’s talk about these in order, shall we? I was hoping Beige Petale would be a slightly beiged version of Coconut and to my delight, it was. This color is [...]
This was a very interesting collection. One look at the bottles and I knew these were going to be pretty sheer. So while I planned on swatching them solo, I also decided to pair them up with the Kleancolor Metallics. But sometimes you just can’t judge a polish by the bottle. While lacking strong pigmentation, [...]
I was so blinded by the pretty colors, I never even noticed the little sticker on these Revlon bottles that said “scented”. I’ve tried the Anna Sui polishes and came to the conclusion that scented lacquers are just not my thing. It seems that my fingers are near my nose more often than I’d like [...]
Because I don’t ever remember seeing these in stores. Or on the web. When did these come out and how did I miss them? Fortunately, they caught my eye on ebay. For a whopping $1. And let me tell you, it was the deal of the century because the formula on these are divine. After [...]
