I picked up the last polish from the Essie Resort Collection since it’s really pretty (and also since the other three were just a bit lonely without it). It’s a nice greyish lavender that...
Here’s another from Essie’s Resort Collection – Sure Shot, a reddish fuchsia with lots of shimmer. This polish is darker than most polishes that pop up in summer collections, but it...
Dior’s Bronze Libertine came out back in 2010, in the holiday collection that also included Timeless Gold and Czarina Gold. I didn’t end up getting it, though, because I think it was only...
Here’s another set of pictures I’ve been meaning to publish, this time of a sheer Dior pink. This polish is one of the new, widely available Diors, but it’s called Pink Icing everyw...
I was looking back through my pictures and found this set that I had never published of OPI’s Pink Friday, from the Nicki Minaj Collection. Oops. This one is kind of old at this point. I think ...
Dior’s Icy Dew is the second of the Asia-exclusive pair of polishes released this spring. The other was Glacier, which I reviewed here. Icy Dew is a creamy off-white in the bottle with a pretty...
Dior’s Glacier is a new Asia-exclusive release. I feel kind of silly about it, or like I crossed some sort of nail-polish-crazy line, because I had to order it from Hong Kong. But it is so be...
Dior has a couple of new summer polishes that are now available. I guess one of them isn’t really that new, since it’s a re-release of the very limited Saint-Tropez from last summer. Bu...
Here’s another polish from Essie’s 2012 Resort Collection: Pink-a-Boo, a sheer, shimmery light pink. In the bottle this is beautiful, with a shimmer that gives off a greenish-blue flash....
I’m happy to report that the Essie Resort 2012 Collection is out and available at Target! At one near me, anyway. I was surprised to see these because last year’s resort collection wasn...
I tried another “jelly sandwich” manicure, this time using Rescue Beauty Lounge Bikini Bottom and OPI’s Gone Gonzo, and it worked out a lot better than my other attempt. Bikini Bot...
Today I have swatches of the last of Dior’s new Color Block polishes – Plaza is a bright, hot pink that’s warm and summery. I’ve been really liking this collection from Dior; ...
Dior’s Lucky is also from the recent Color Block Collection; it’s a bright, pinkish red on the nail. It reminds me of Hawaiian Punch color, or maybe red hots – it’s definitel...
Dior’s Riviera is from the same new polish collection as Incognito – it’s something about a Color Block Collection, tied to some new Dior lipsticks. I haven’t really seen tha...
Today I have swatches of a new Dior polish – Incognito is part of a set of polishes that Dior is releasing. The other three are all very bright, but Incognito is a pale, pinkish beige color. ...
Someone requested a comparison of two new greens for Spring 2012: Dior’s Waterlily and Essie’s Navigate Her. They’re pretty different, as you can see in the pictures… Greens ...
Here’s another polish from Essie’s Spring 2012 Collection – Orange, It’s Obvious! is a really bright medium orange. The exclamation mark is part of the polish name, and I can...
Although the name of this OPI polish kind of makes me shudder, it’s a nice glitter for a Valentine’s Day manicure. I tried it over a couple of different polishes to see what I liked best...
I have a few more colors from OPI’s Nicki Minaj Collection to share, and I’m starting with Fly, a bright turquoise. I liked how Fly looked both bright and deep in the bottle, and on the n...
Today I have swatches of two of Essie’s new spring colors, from the Navigate Her Collection. This collection is said to be finance-themed, but I feel like only a few of the colors are really c...
Dior’s Ultra Violet is another polish from their recent collaboration with German artist Anselm Reyle. It’s a bright, grapey purple. Like the other polishes from this collection I previo...
Today I have swatches of another of the Anselm Reyle polishes – Electric Blue is a vibrant, screaming royal blue. It’s by far the brightest blue polish I own. Just like Pink Graffiti fro...
Dior’s Forget-Me-Not is the second polish from Dior’s Spring Collection. Like Waterlily, it has a soft, soapy-rose scent when it dries (but you should not stick your nose in the bottle t...
Dior’s spring collection has a garden theme, and includes two rose-scented nailpolishes in pretty, flowery shades of green and purple. Today I have swatches and a comparison of the minty green...
Dior’s newest nail polish collection is a collaboration with German artist Anselm Reyle, who is known for saturated, neon colors. The collection debuted at Art Basel in Miami in December, but ...
My year is off to a busy start, but I managed to get in some swatching this weekend. I’m starting with two new OPIs from the Nicki Minaj Collection, Did It On ‘Em and Save Me. Did It On...
Here’s another one of the OPI Muppet Glitters – Gone Gonzo is a clear base with tiny light blue glitter and silver hexagonal glitter. For a coordinating but darker base color, I tried Ch...
I know it’s been a long time since I posted here – December has been busy for me! I started a new job and had to do some traveling, and I’ve been so sleepy in the evenings. I want...
Essie’s A Cut Above is another topcoat from the new Luxeffects line. This one is a clear base with rosy pink hexagonal and small glitter pieces. I don’t wear glitters very much, but som...
Essie’s new Luxeffects polishes are starting to show up in stores now. I found them in Walgreens over a week ago, but things have been busy for me lately, and cloudy, so I just got them out to...
