Happy Independence Day! Or if you’re not in the US, happy Saturday! Formula X Prophecy was a limited edition nail polish (womp womp) and if you missed out on it, you can console yourself with this: while it is undoubtedly the prettiest blue nail polish I own, it chips like nothing else in this world. […]
Read more "Independence Day Nails – Formula X Prophecy (with a sneaky dash of Orly Fireball)"Ok, I know that OPI released The Amazing Spiderman collection in 2012. I also know what a bummer it is to see pretty things that are no longer available BUT…I just bought this nail polish within the last week or two! So there is hope! I can’t remember if I found this at Sally’s Beauty […]
Read more "OPI – Just Spotted The Lizard"I’m going to keep this post short and sweet since the name of this polish basically sums up all my thoughts on it! I found myself taking photos of Amazeballs all week long. It’s just so pretty! It applied well and was completely opaque in two coats. I had minor chipping within 48 […]
Read more "Nail Nation 3000 – Amazeballs "This week I continue my love affair with subtly unique neutral nail polishes. Armed and ready is an olive drab green that leans heavily gray and has very faint subtle copper shimmers running through it. In a word, it’s gorgeous. It’s also very difficult to photograph the green in this polish, all of my photos […]
Read more "Essie Armed and Ready"There are few things I love more in a nail polish than a holographic effect. As far as holographic glitter goes, Revlon has really done a great job with this one. The glitter is dense enough that a scattered holo effect can be achieved with a few coats. With three coats this is just stunning! […]
Read more "Revlon Transforming Effects Topcoat in Holographic Pearls – NOTW"One of Essie’s more recent collections (I can’t keep up, is this a winter collection? Fall? I really am not sure.) is called Comfy in Cashmere and consists of several neutral velvety matte shades. I picked up two and the first one I wore on my nails is Wrap Me Up. I know what you’re […]
Read more "NOTW Double Header – Essie Wrap Me Up and Essie Little Brown Dress"While a beautiful true red nail polish is undoubtedly elegant and a lovely pink polish is fresh and girly, when it comes to nail lacquer, my heart belongs to the slightly less traditional color schemes. After “oohing and ahhing” over multiple YouTube guru’s lovely golden green manicures, I finally managed to get my grubby little […]
Read more "butter London – Wallis – NOTW"Over the Edge is part of Essie’s permanent collection and the Essie website describes it as a dramatic metallic midnight silver. This nail polish is on the thin side and requires three coats for full opacity. I think I could have benefitted from a fourth coat in all honesty. Despite being a tad watery, this […]
Read more "NOTW: Essie – Over the Edge"Essie seems to be a “love it or hate it” kind of brand. I fall squarely in the “love it” camp and Demure Vix just reinforces my positive opinion of the brand as a whole. Demure Vix is a nude mauve with a slight lavender duo-chrome that is subtle and sophisticated. Basically this is a […]
Read more "NOTW: Essie Demure Vix"There are many black cream polishes out there but a-england’s Camelot is my favorite. It applies like a dream, wears for days (seriously, seven days before I saw a tiny little chip and seven days PLUS hauling loads of firewood before there was any tip wear)and is nearly a one coater if you’re skilled in […]
