It is Wednesday, so it's time for another nice pink from Forever 21. This is another one of the Rose polishes they currently have out, and I picked it up with Forever 21 Lavender Rose, which I showed you all last Wednesday. This one is called Magenta Rose, and it's a magenta jelly filled with really pretty holo glitters. Since the jelly base is...
Today we have another pretty Essie polish, Ballet Slippers. I got this from a blog sale, and I really like it. Ballet Slippers is a sheer, milky white. It seems to have a very, very slight pink hue to it. Essie does a great job with milky colors, like their famous Marshmallow. I wore Ballet Slippers to work and felt like it looked...
The other day I stopped by my local Walgreens to see if they had the new Sinful Colors Adventure Island collection. Sadly, they didn't :( But! I kept on perusing the beauty section and spotted a lovely new Essie display. I picked up Chinchilly, Sew Psyched, and Trophy Wife. I had been lemming Chinchilly for a long time, so I painted it on...
I saw a preview of Essie's upcoming Fall 2011 collection and knew I had to pass it on. The collection is called Brand New Bag, and all the polishes have cute names that refer to different purses. I think it is a nice idea, and it makes the polishes feel really luxe. Here is a picture of the new colors. In order that...

I received this polish as a gift along with NYX Girls Bella. Forever 1989 is a pretty orange crème with a really nice shine to it. It took only 2 coats to look beautiful. I really enjoyed wearing this color. Not all oranges look good on my skin tone, but NYX Girls Forever 1989 works well with it. This is 2 coats NYX...
It's Wednesday! Sorry for my short absence -- the internet was down at my house. It felt like a crisis! But I am here to stay, and today I have a really cool polish from Forever 21 called Lavender Rose. I picked up its sister, Magenta Rose too, so you will see her too. I spotted a bin filled with Rose polishes; they...
This is my first ever polish from the China Glaze Kaleidoscope Collection. I am so happy I picked this one up from ebay -- it is BEAUTIFUL. This is He's Going in Circles, a pretty seafoam green holographic. The holo particles are so gorgeous in this polish. Application was not a problem at all, and after 3 coats it looks perfect. I will...
Sally Hansen makes some beautiful blues! Remember Pacific Blue that I swatched before? Here is another gorgeous blue crème, called Blue Me Away! It went on beautifully and was way more pigmented than I expected. It went on in two easy coats. First I'm going to show you my final product, then we'll backtrack and look at Blue Me Away! on its own. So here...
This glitter polish, Wet N Wild Party of Five Glitters is part of their fastdry line. It is considered a dupe for Deborah Lippmann's Happy Birthday. Since the Lippmann is so expensive, I went for this one instead. There isn't much to say about application; it was just fine. I used two coats for a more dense glittery look. Here are 2 coats...
Here is a beautiful jelly green called Amaranth. I am IN LOVE with this color. It is a vibrant green jelly. It took 3 coats for maximum opacity, and was well worth each one. One of my friends described it as "looking like candy," which I think was an apt description. The jelly finish looks great on Amaranth. This is one of my...
Happy pink Wednesday! This week I'll be showing you Essie Van D'Go. It was released with the Essie Art of Spring Collection 2010. Van D'Go is a nice crème peachy pink. It has a definite touch of orange in the formula, but comes off mostly pink. The application wasn't the greatest, with the first coat being incredibly streaky. However, it built up beautifully...
Skull & Glossbones was released with OPI's summer Pirates of the Caribbean collection. I only picked up two colors: Skull & Glossbones and Planks a Lot. I am still looking for Mermaid Tears though! OPI Skull & Glossbones is a grey crème with good coverage. It has a definite green tinge to it. I really like the color, and it's very unique to...
Here is another polish following the scented trend. We have had Color Club's Wicked Sweet, these Revlon Scented ones, and even Crayola released their own take on the trend. I will be swatching all 5 Crayola Scented colors soon, but for now let's take a look at Revlon Not So Blueberry. Not So Blueberry is a really unique color to my collection. It...
