Base: one coat CND Stickey Color: two coats Essie Play Date Top: one coat Essie Good to Go Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent) Essie Play Date was purchased by me. All opinions are my own honest thoughts. I’ve wanted to pick up Essie Play Date for a long time. It seems like […]

SinfulColors Why Not? is a gorgeous swimming pool blue creme. Why Not? is very bright, but not neon, and nicely pigmented. It also has an extra benefit. The name reminds me of this song from Hilary Duff’s excellent Disney film The Lizzie McGuire movie. Cinematic brilliance, I tell you. Man, I loved that movie. I […]

The new Sally Hansen Insta Dri polishes for Fall 2011 continue to impress me. Today, I have Sally Hansen Insta Dri Cocoa A-Go-Go for you to drool over! Cocoa A-Go-Go is a really rich-looking chocolate brown shimmer. Unlike some other chocolate browns I own, the shimmer in this is very apparent. Sometimes the shimmer gets […]
I finally got around to taking pictures of a look I did today using MAC Snow Season and Fresh Ice Mineralize Eye Shadows from the holiday Glitter & Ice Collection. I’ve been wearing these eye shadows a lot since I got them, they’re very useful for daily wear! I used MAC Fresh Ice as the […]
Nars Purple Rain, two coats, with flashClearly I should have taken these pictures yesterday, as today there is no natural light and it is sleeting (still lovin CT). So this post features some of my super blurry, yet reasonably color accurate pictures LOL. I took pictures with flash (see above) to show the shimmer, but […]
Round two… FIGHT! LOL I love me some Mortal Kombat, but seriously, in my second attempt (battle) to swatch these colors, I had my boyfriend take these pictures. He’s a part-time wedding photographer with a pricey camera set-up, so I figured he could do a better job capturing these polishes. I can honestly tell you […]
China Glaze Grape Pop with Wet and Wild Glitz, no flash I have to thank reader Aurora’s Nails for this gorgeous combo. She wanted to see Wet and Wild Glitz over purple or black. Since I’m still in a summery polish mood, I decided to put it over China Glaze Grape Pop from the Up […]
I learned a lesson today when I was swatching the three OPI polishes I got from the Swiss collection. A lot of times, I look at big collections like the Swiss collection, and I’m disappointing when I don’t LOVE every single one of the polishes. BUT… I got three from the Swiss collection and absolutely […]
*Sent for review* Now this is what I was looking for in a Triple Shine polish! This juicy treat is Sally Hansen Play Koi, a gorgeous succulent slightly red tinged orange. Play Koi is a crelly for sure, there was still some VNL, but it totally works with this color. The squishiness just makes it […]
Totally aside from the amazing collection of glitters that Lynnderella crams into every one of her polishes, I obsess over the names she gives these gems. Case in point: Cauldron Drippings. Cauldron Drippings is a number of varied glitters in an orange base. Lynnderella describes it as “oranges in an sparkling orange base, plus whatever […]
