Anyone that thinks a name is just a name may be right when dealing with every day matters, but not when it comes to marketing. A black creme cannot really be unique. Some applications may be better t...
Pop Polishes seem to have come out of the woodwork lately. A year ago, you could only find them a few places, namely at CVS.com and Beauty.com. Now they are at Nordstroms, Urban Outfitters, Amazon, 6...
Chanel Fantastic is one of those “secret shimmer’ colors. As in, the shimmer is almost non-existant unless the light is hitting it the right way or if you’re taking a photo of it wi...
Let’s continue on with the NYX Advanced Salon Formula colors, shall we? This was an interesting batch of NYX Advanced Salon Formula polishes to swatch. With two of them, Magnolia and Sumptuous ...
Odyssey is one of those words that regardless if I spell it right or not, looks wrong. Too many y’s and not enough d’s. There are certain types of polishes that I’ve stopped purchas...
Chanel Rose Des Vents was one of the Chanel colors that at one time I searched pretty hard for. The bottle color just indicated the perfect muted pink. I was rather disappointed to find that it was q...
I may be feeling a bit guilty about Monday’s post. Alright, not really. But here’s a kiss and make up post to MAC. MAC Unconditionally Fabulous came out with the Glitter and Ice Holiday c...
The Gareth Pugh nail polishes that were recently introduced by MAC came in new square bottles and a hefty increase from the normal $15 to a whopping $22. With an increase like that, I pull out my wal...
Chanel Gondola is probably one of my favorite Chanel magentas. The shimmer seems to be larger than the average shimmer particles giving it a great depth. And because one wasn’t enough, hereR...
Jill Stuart is another Asian brand that hasn’t really made its way to the states. It’s a higher end polish that runs pretty steep regardless where you are in the world. The combination of...
I have recently been pulled in by Estee Lauder more than I have been in years. I was originally drawn to her latest offerings because of Metallic Sage. But when I saw the swatch of Porcelain on the E...
Somehow Rose Cache slipped beneathe my radar and I totally missed it’s arrival along with the Velvet Mat Top Coat. What is this world coming to? Although, now that I purchased Rose Cachet, swat...
Chanel Trapeze is a very light beige shimmer. Rather reminds me of Caribbean beach sand. Not exactly the shade I’d reach for to bedazzle someone with my nails, but it’s a nice muted color...
With so many holiday polishes coming out at one time, it’s hard to concentrate on larger, more permanent collections. But I haven’t forgotten the NYX Advanced Salon Formula line. Today we...
Dior Flapper Pink came out with a bunch of other Dior colors several months ago when Dior revamped their brushes to the wider width. At first glance, the color is a pretty sedate pink that leans ever...
It’s been ages since Laura Mercier has come out with a new polish. I’ve had mixed feelings about some of her past colors. I adored Cavier Dreams. I was neutral about Avant Garde. I really...
Barcelona Red is a Chanel color that I’ve never really seen get any significant press. Sad as it’s a beautiful color. Even sadder as I don’t see it available all that often. It̵...
Sparitual is not the brand that first comes to mind when I’m looking for non-mainstream colors. But for the few they do have, they’re quite stunning. As evidenced by the four below. Optic...
As promised on Monday, below is CND Plum Truffle Sparkle over my standard base colors. Although I thought Plum Truffle Sparkle seemed to coordinate well with the Plum Truffle base color, I think it l...
CND has come out with another glitter effect. The last time they did this, I was perturbed. Although I’m not a huge fan of CND touting a glitter as an effect (which, in my opinion, minimizes th...
Rouge Argent, better known as Metallic Vamp, is a gorgeous dark plum that unfortunately went on more like a pearl than a shimmer. If you take a good look at the swatch, you’ll see the lines in ...
Much like the colors this effect was meant to be layered over, my feelings were rather neutral about CND’s Perfectly Bare Shimmer. It’s not one of the “yowsa!” effects. But it...
This is by far my favorite Glam Slam offering. Predominantly because Love Is A Racket is just gorgeous. But also because this is the first Glam Slam offering where both polishes can be worn solo. In ...
After the last few Kleancolor swatches I’ve done, these look positively sedate! Pearl Jungle is probably the flashiest of these four colors, almost leaning towards a glass flecked and not a pea...
Chanel Topaze is one of those colors that had I not been into collecting Chanel polishes, I would have passed on. It’s a very warm, burnt orange color with gold shimmer, that while beautiful, c...
Dior’s Holiday 2011 line is laden with gold shimmer. So appropriate for the holidays! And I have to say, I like every one of these, despite the misgivings I had about the gold shimmer possibly ...
This year, Chanel introduced a stunning new magenta color along with reviving an older creme red – something I don’t ever remember them doing before. I picked up Rouge Carat but passed on...
If you’re as into nail polish as I am, you’ll be just as excited about the holiday colors hitting the shelves right now. So let’s dedicate this week to some designer colors that hav...
Here’s something I don’t usually post. A pink creme! I actually purchased Cassis thinking it was a shimmer. When I got the bottle, I was really disappointed. However, after I let it sit o...
Cosme Decorte is an Asian line from Kose Cosmetics. Cosme Decorte, in the past, has come out with some very gorgeous colors but the current collection surprised me as they seem to have gone mainstrea...
