Color Club Extra Vert Mood Polish Swatches & Nail Art

Color Club Extra Vert Sea Themed Nails

I recently got my hands on the Color Club Mood Changing Polishes and since my BM-XL25 plate had just arrived with its sea and wave designs, Extra Vert with a beautiful blue to pale green transition was top of my list to try.  Color Club Extra Vert Mood Changing Polish seems pretty opaque on the […]

The ABox by Avon: Divine Wine Fall Beauty Trend Box

Avon Fall Wine Trends Box 2017 - All Products

Ever want to refresh your makeup bag for a new season but are not sure where to start?  Avon will now sell curated boxes with the basics for a new themed look.  They currently have a skincare box available but I tried out the Fall Trends Divine Wine collection.  The box sells for $49 but […]

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Street Flair (559) Swatches & Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 559 Street Flair Swatches Full Sunlight

Another Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and Street Flair brought me back to the same great formula of the first one I tried, Frill Seeker.  Street Flair is an older shade and was released a few years ago but has managed to stay part of the main lineup so you can tell this dusty purple is a fan […]

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel World Wide Red (409) Swatches and Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 409 World Wide Red - Swatch Sunlight

After mixed results with Frill Seeker and Rosey Riviter, I tried out Sally Hansen Miracle Gel World Wide Red next.  It has an almost crelly formula.  Much less opaque than either of the Sally Hansen Miracle Gel polishes I tried previously but not quite jelly either.  This red has a touch of coral in it. […]

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Rosey Riviter (180) Swatches & Review

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 180 Rosey Riviter Swatches Full Sun

After being impressed with Frill Seeker, I had high hopes for Sally Hansen Miracle Gel and tried out Rosey Riviter next.  This is shade has been available for at least a few years.  Right out of the bottle, I could tell that the formula was not quite as nice as the nude Frill Seeker.  The polish […]

Essie Summer 2017 Collection Drip Marble Nail Art

essie summer 2017 drip marble nails manicure swatches

When you get new polishes, you have to see how well they work together.  So I threw all six of the Essie Summer 2017 collection polishes together in a drip marble.  Sil Vous Plait really steals the show from the cremes with a bit of foil-y shimmer but I think they work well together. I […]

Essie Sil Vous Plait Swatches & Review

Essie Sil Vous Plait - Summer 2017 - Swatch

Essie Sil Vous Plait is a wonderful foil and the final of the summer 2017 collection shades!  A rose pink foil.  Now usually, this kind of colour would make me think of the polishes my grandma wore way back and still does.  But on the nail, it has some shimmery foilish goodness going on that I just […]

Essie Baguette Me Not Swatches & Review

Essie Baguette Me Not - Summer 2017 - Swatch Stamped MdU Fantasy - Creative Shop 59 Closeup

You having that weird thought that there is already a polish named Baguette Me Not and it doesn’t look like this?  OPI has one with a dusty salmony-dark pink colour.  I think Essie missed the mark on not naming this something macaron themed as it matches the purple-pink of macarons at my local bakery.  Anyway, […]
