Color Club released a neutral collection at the early part of 2015. It's made up of seven creams and I felt like this collection was a bit hit or miss. If you'd like to see live application of the whole collection, you can do so here:
Barely There is a warm caramel nude that I didn't fall in love with; it was a bit sheer at two coats. All the same, it would probably look great on another skin tone.
Blank Canvas is a white cream that was pretty patchy at two coats. You could do a third, but I've shown you only two.
Blush Crush is a very sheer blush/cream color. This is three coats and I really didn't care for it.
Get a Mauve on It was one that I did like. It's a lovely cool-toned mauve/brown. It was still a bit patchy but I liked the color.
Midnight Mulberry is the other polish I did enjoy. The color is lovely and this is two easy coats.
New-tral was another great cream and had an easy two coat application. It's kind of dusty too.
Sweet Mint is a very light pistachio cream. This is two coats.
Catching up on Saturday Random Swatchfests from months passed when I was feeling too nauseated to blog. Still, these polishes need their time in the sun. If you'd like to watch the live application of each one, you can do so here:
China Glaze Designer Satin is up first, just a great classic red. All swatches will be two coats unless otherwise noted. A
Revlon Lava is a gorgeous deep hot pink lustre. A
Julie G Sugar Rush is an orange-red texture polish with amazing gold shimmer. Love this! A
FingerPaints Gilded Chrome is another textured polish. It's made up of gold and silver pieces. B-
Sinful Colors Sheer Flight is a gorgeous green/gold lustre that is super sheer, but over a dark polish like a blue shown here, it is so lovely! B
Zoya Nyx is a light blue/gray texture polish with silver shimmer. This must be the week of texture. I thought this was a bit sheer at two coats, but still lovely. A-
Pure Ice Last Chance is a stunning deep purple. So so amazing for the price point of two dollars! I just love this deep violet. A
Wet n Wild Valet Tag is a silver/beige with silver lustre. B-
OPI Snow Globetrotter is from the Winter 2014 collection with white and holo glitter pieces in a clear base. So gorgeous! A
Colores de Carol The North Star was my A+ polish. An amazing deep navy with subtle shimmer.
The Color Club Love Tahiry collection is made up of seven scented polishes. There are creams and glitters and I think some really great basics in here. If you'd like to see live application of each polish, you can do so here:
50 Shades of Love is a clear-based glitter that has red and silver hearts. It's super cute, but some of the glitter was breaking off so that was a bummer, but I've shown it here over the gray in the collection.
Cloud Nine is the white cream in the collection. It has decent opacity at two coats but you could certainly go for three.
Jitters is the microglitter of the collection. It looks pink based but it's also heavily packed with holographic glitters. So lovely, and opaque on its own at two coats.
Sweet Getaway is a poppin' bright pink crelly. I'm showing you three coats here.
Red-Handed is a classic red cream that applies nice and smoothly.
Seal It With a Kiss is a warm strawberry pink. This is two coats and it's another great cream in the collection.
Tall, Dark & Handsome is the last of the bunch. It's a dark gray and very lovely at two coats.
I hope you found this review helpful. I purchased the whole collection from head2toebeauty.com
Today we'll be taking a look at the Bonita You Blue Me Away collection made up of six budget-friendly polishes. This brand can be found at Rite Aid and Kmart. If you'd like to see live application you can do so here:
All the polishes in this display are pretty decent at two coats which is what I'm going to show you here today.
First up is Booty Shaker, a fruit punch pink.
Sexy=Me is a great classic red cream. Loved this one.
Shark Bait is a green-teal that actually stained a bit so I don't recommend it but it's pretty.
You Are My Unicorn is a pearled white that looks pretty frosty on the nail.
You Blue Me Away is a sky blue cream that could probably use three coats, but I've only shown you two here.
Hostess with the Mostess is a slightly warm-based peach cream.
Hope you found this review helpful and have a great day!
L'oreal has a great new collection for Spring made up of creams and one glitter. I wasn't able to find the glitter topper at any of the drugstores near me so I don't have that to show you today, but if you'd like to see live application of the rest of them, you can do so here:
Let's look at the polish:
We'll start out with this nice dusty rose called Rose Symphony. These will all be shown at two coats, no topcoat. This one is so flattering on and it's a great way to ease into Spring.
Next up is Hint of Lavender, which is just what it sounds like. This is a pink cream with just a touch of lavender. A great way to wear a pink, I thought this one was lovely.
Spring Showers is this lovely periwinkle cream which is so delightful. I think this one is probably my favorite.
The pink/coral is called Sweet Nectar. Such a bright fun color for spring, I thought it was great.
This one is called Violette. I just love this shade of purple! It's so vibrant and spectacular.
The last one is called Wispy Clouds which is a light powdery blue. Really sweet and beautiful.
As far as formula goes, these are all a bit on the thin side. They all look like they could use a third coat which is a bit of a shame, but they weren't difficult to work with so I liked that.
I hope this review was helpful and I'll see you back next time.
Welcome back to another Saturday Random Swatchfest where we'll look at then random polishes from my collection that I'm trying to swatch my way through. If you'd like to see live application of all these polishes, you can do so here:
Let's get to swatching:
First up, for red, this is China Glaze Vertical Rush which is an iridescent deep red/berry cream. This is two coats and it really looks flashy on the nail while still being classy. A
Our pink polish this week is Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Frutti Petutie, a hot fruit punch cream. This applied easily at two coats and it didn't let me down. I always love polishes from this Complete Salon Manicure Line. A
Illamasqua Purity is our orange polish this week. It's a lovely light peach cream and like the rest of the polishes I've tried from this brand, it's creamy and delicious. A
Sally Hansen Tough Cookie was as close as I could get to a gold polish today. It's mostly a taupe metallic with just a touch of gold. This is two coats and it was just ok. B
Our green polish is Julie G Shark's Cove and I'm showing you three coats here. I really had high hopes for this polish because the color in the bottle is so gorgeous but it was a mess to apply, and you can see that even at three coats I couldn't really get it streak-free. I do really love the color and the shimmer, but it just isn't worth the application. C
FingerPaints In the Monet is a really great combo of blue and green. It's a blue jelly base and it's packed with blue and green glitter. I've shown you two coats here and it's kind of chunky on the nail. I've shown it to you here without topcoat. A
Our purple polish is this amazing violet purple cream from Zoya called Mira. This was nearly my favorite polish of the week because it's so easy and smooth and that color is on point. this is two coats. A
For neutral this week I'm showing you OPI Warm Me Up which is a deep brown taupe with some subtle gold shimmer. This one was only ok for me. I guess I'm just not in the mood for colors like this right now, but it just didn't appeal to me. It's also kind of frosty-looking which isn't my favorite. This is two coats and as far as formula, it's nice. B
For glitter we're looking at Morgan Taylor Snow Place Like Home which is a champagne glitter topper. It has some holographic in there which makes it extra special. I've put it over Illamasqua Purity. A
My A+ polish of the week is KB Shimmer Stonewashed which is a warm deep, dusty blue green. I'm showing you two coats here without topcoat. The color is just sexy and soothing.
I hope you enjoyed these polishes this week. What was your A+ polish of the week?
So it was definitely time for another polish favorites. Next up was orange, so today I'm sharing with you my top 10 orange polishes in different brands. If you'd like to see live application of each of these you can do so here:
Let's look at the polish:
First we have Essie Roarrrrange which is a squishy warm orange. This one is really spectacular and easy at two coats.
China Glaze Life Preserver is another warm orange, this has a bit of brown in it. I really love this one- it's definitely a go-to if I want a darker, warm orange. this is two coats.
Two of my favorite oranges come from OPI. This first one is A Woman's Prague-ative and it's an intense orange with gold shimmer. This one is just so bright and special. A show-stopper any day.
The next OPI is Deutsch You Want Me Baby which is a warm orange, almost red, that also has gold shimmer, but it's much more subtle. Another showstopper, but in a deep, sexy way.
The next polish up is Maybelline Coral Glow. Another great orange with gold subtle shimmer. On the nail this really is amazing and it's drugstore, so that's extra fun.
Another amazing orange polish is Orly Ablaze which is a bit of a sweet orange which I really like about that. It's almost a neon coral, with just enough orange in it. Totally packed with gold fleck, it's really special and this is two coats.
This next orange is China Glaze Pop the Trunk and I'm showing you two coats. It's another deep, sweet, pumpkin shade. I love it.
Our super hot neon orange for the day is Savina Orange Blast. I've never seen a more neon orange that get's opaque on it's own with no white undies. This dries matte and it's easy at two coats.
Color Club In Theory is up next which is a lovely bright peach cream. I'm showing you two easy coats. Definitely a must-have.
Last up this group wouldn't be complete without Color Club Foxy Mama. This is two easy coats of this bright peachy orange with intense gold shimmer. Such a show-stopper, I guess Color Club is pretty good with their orange polishes.
I hope you enjoyed my roundup of favorite orange polishes. What is your favorite orange polish?
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day and I'll see you back next time.
