L'oreal Pure Reds Collection

L'oreal released a collection of all reds- and they're stunning!  If you'd like to watch live application of all 9 you can watch here:

 Julieanne's Red is one of the lightest and with the most white in it.  Great formula!

 Blake's Red has a lot of blue in it.  It's just divine and this is two coats.

 Doutzen's Red on the other hand has lots of yellow in it and I love love this firey polish.

 Freida's Red is a classic red with lots of luster.

 Liya's Red is a dark burgundy red with luster.  This is two coats.

 Zoe's Red is close to the same color as the last polish but it's a straight cream.  Again, two coats.

 Eva's Red is a beautiful almost-brick red cream.  This is two coats.

 Jennifer's Red is super similar to the red just previous but it has luster.  This is two coats.

Because You're Worth It Red is the most classic red cream.  It doesn't have as much red as Julieanne's and a little less blue than Blake's.  This is two coats as with the rest.


Hope you enjoyed these beautiful polishes.  Have a great day!

My Top 10 Yellow Polishes 2015

Today's post is on my top ten yellow polishes.  I put together this video in 2015 but for the most part it all still stands.  I just LOVE yellow polish!  If you want to see the video review, just click here:

Orly Lemonade is an absolute must-have for every fan of yellow polish!  This has a lovely two coat formula and it's definitely high up on the list!

Maybelline Citrus Collide is the most blasted-out yellow I own.  It's great at two easy coats and it was from the Bleached Neon.  I can occasionally found these polishes at Big Lots for like a buck! Love it and the whole collection!

Color Club Macaroon Swoon is such a great butter yellow shade, so creamy and delicious.  I'm showing it to you here at two coats.

Sally Hansen Butterscotch has no equal- there really aren't that many great mustard cream polishes out there, and as far as I've found as of today- this is the best!

My favorite neon yellow I've come across is Virtuous Polish Magdalene.  This polish isn't currently being made unfortunately because all the polishes in this indie brand's neon collection were just so insanely bright! Love it!

Second favorite neon yellow is this awesome, almost-lime yellow with strong shimmer!  This is Color Club Not-So-Mellow Yellow and this one can be picked up easily online.  I hope you snatch it.

OPI You're So Flippy Floppy is my favorite yellow textured polish.  They only made them in these teeny tiny minis.  I wish that all four in this collection were in full size cuz I'd get 'em in a heartbeat.

Zoya Daisy is such a fun yellow polish because look at all that shimmer!! This one could have a slightly more opaque formula for my liking but I still really enjoy it.

 Ok, now here's another Zoya, super opaque, just the perfect sunflower yellow.  This is Zoya Darcy.

Wet n Wild D'oh is very nearly the same color as the polish above but it's only one dollar at the drugstore.  I think it's a must-have.


And there you have it- my top ten yellow polishes.  This video and list was published about a year ago but all of the polishes are still awesome- I've just added a few to it since then.  I'll have another video on favorite yellows soon.  :)

Saturday Random Swatchfest 5/16/2015

Time to look at ten random polishes!  I hope you see something you like and if you want to see how they apply live and join in the chat, you can watch the video here:

Nicole by OPI American as Apple Pie is so stunning it takes my breath away.  I love this, the color, the finish, the formula!  A

 Sally Hansen Get Down is such a beautiful mulberry shade.  Great at two coats.  A

Sinful Colors Copper Pot is a delicious orange copper luster.  This applied nicely in two coats and I just saw that it's being repromoted in the current 2016 Halloween display.  A-

Nicole by OPI Carrie'd Away is a beautiful textured gold glitter.  This is light and lovely.  It doesn't get quite opaque at two coats but it's pretty close.  B+

 Salon Perfect Summer St. John is such a beautiful teal green! However it was a stainer :( C

 Illamasqua Cameo- oh this is so gorgeous! Lovely at two coats, I picked this up on Hautlook.  A

 Nina Ultra Pro Purple Pizzazz is a lovely luster purple with a great, two-coat fomula.  A

Ulta Taupe on a Rope is kind of a yellowed-brown with some very light shimmer.  This is definitely an interesting color!  It went on nicely in two coats.  B+

Orly Androgynie is such a delicious black jelly with micro glitters and largre iridescent hexes that go mostly from gold, green, and blue.  What a fun, interesting shade.  A-

Surprise!  China Glaze Designer Satin is my A+ polish of the week.  The formula here is spectacular and watermelon red, yes!

Thanks for stopping by!  Don't forget to stop by my youtube channel.  My live application reviews really do help in deciding if a polish is worth your time or not.  Have a great day!!

Color Club Desert Valley Collection

The Color Club Desert Valley collection is just so good!  If you'd like to see my live application review of all seven polishes you can do so here:

 Grand Canyon(two coats)

 Made in the USA(two coats)

 Prickly Pear(two coats)

 Road Trip!(two coats)

 Rocky Mountain High(two coats)

 Route 66(two coats)

Westbound(two coats)

Ok so this collection was such a delight.  Yes, some of them were less opaque than others but I think that really works in their favor- especially for the polish called Westbound.  If I'm picking a favorite it has to be Canyon Country.  There just aren't enough polishes out there like it.  

Have a great day!

Orly Adrenaline Rush Summer 2015

Today we're looking at the Orly Adrenaline Rush collection of 6 neons for Summer 2015.  Orly does neon polish in such a good way.  I totally recommend this collection and if you'd like to see my live application review of each polish you can do so here:

 Be Daring(two coats)

 Fireball(two coats)

 On the Edge(two coats)

 Push the Limit(two coats)

 Risky Behavior(two coats)

Thrill Seeker(two coats)

I think my favorite from the collection was the hot hot pink Risky Behavior.  It was just perfection.  I really enjoy the hot green but it could have a bit more opacity in two coats.  

Have a great day!

Saturday Random Swatchfest 5/9/2015

Welcome to another Swatchfest where we look at 10 random polishes from my stash that haven't before been reviewed on my blog or channel.  If you'd like to watch my chatty review of all these polishes on my channel, you can do so here:

On to the swatches:

 Sally Hansen Red Velvet is a gorgeous deep scarlet textured polish.  It's pictured here at two coats. A

Sally Hansen Mauve Over is sooooo gorgeous.  I just love this shade. It has a perfect formula and you can hardly beat the price.  This is two coats.  A

 Butter London Silly Billy is a great tangerine shade that applies easily in two coats.  A

 Julep Michelle is a divine deep navy.  This has a great formula and goes on well in one to two coats.  A

 Wet n Wild Be More Pacific is a lovely teal green that is pictured here at two coats.  A

Sinful Colors Navy I Do is another navy to look at this week.  This is really stunning! I think I like this even better than the Julep, although they're both great!  You're looking at two coats.  A

Love this one!  This is Essie The Girls are Out which is a lovely raspberry mixed with fruit punch and there's some beautiful shimmer thrown in there too.  This could maybe use a third coat but I still really enjoyed it.  A-

China Glaze Mahogany Magic is a really interesting brown with some yellow/green tones in it.  It applies easily at two coats but I don't particularly care for this shade of brown.  B

FingerPaints Shower with Flowers is a super fun green-yellow glitter with lots of holo specks.  I particularly loved this over the navy blue.  A

China Glaze Skyscraper was my A+ polish of the week.  I love this deep indigo purple packed with silver glitter.  It went on easily in two coats.

That's it from me today.  Take care!

Colour Prevails Polish- Brand Review

Today's video takes a look at some polishes in the new Colour Prevails brand found at CVS.  If you'd like to watch my review of these polishes to see how they apply you can do so here:

Basically I loved these polishes.  Their formula was great and they applied so easily.  However, I do think they're overpriced for the drugstore and for that reason I probably won't pink up any more but I had a positive experience with every one.  So now that you know whether these polishes are worth your time, let's look at some swatches.

 Blind Date(two coats)

 Glamazon(two coats)

 Mr. Big(two coats)

 Privileged(two coats)

Wallflower(two coats)

Hope you found this review helpful! My favorites were Mr. Big and Blind Date.  See you back next time and have a fabulous day!
