Purple Passion Nails Of The Moment

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , , ,

Here is another notm. I used Orly's Frolic. Frolic is part of Orly's Happy Go Lucky collection. Frolic is a deep lilac pastel. Here are swatches:
The application of this nail polish was really good kinda like butta! It only needed two coats. As usual I got three days of wear. On a random side note I bought this new top coat {it has no name} which will hopefully increase the wear time I experience with nail polishes. The only flaw I can find to it is that it is really dense, which makes it tricky to use. What is your favorite top coat?

Grey Tone Nail Of The Moment

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , ,

This is another NOTM. I am using Essie in Playa Del Platinum. This is what it looks like:

 Without Flash
It is a dark beige with a grey undertone. This is three coats. I ended up wearing it for three days. One thing I liked about this nail polish was the brush was kinda small which is good for all my nails but my thumb. Since I really liked using this one I tried using Essie in Sand Tropez, which to my surprise I totally ended up hating. It was really sheer and needed four coats. I really like beige nail polishes so I might give it a chance again. What are your favorite nail polish colors to wear?

Finger Paints Peace, Love, & Color (Haul, Review & Swatches)

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , , , , ,

Peace, Love, & Color is Finger Paints Summer 2011 collection. It has six new nail polishes. This is what the display looks like:
Out of the six shades I ended up getting three (I only paid for two & the third one was free). The three I got where All You Need Is Color (shimmer), Peaceful Purple (shimmer), and Psychedelic Sunshine (shimmer). Recently I ended up getting the other three because they were on special. Finger Paints is on special for $3.99. The other three are  Give Pink A Chance (Crème), Groovy Green (shimmer), & Outta Sight Orange (shimmer).  
Polish Overview:
All You Need Is Color
Is a shimmery turquoise. 
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Formula: While I thought I would like this color the most I ended up like Psychedelic Sunshine because it was more opaque. This was sheer and needed 3 coats.
Give Pink A Chance
is a bright vibrant pink coral. 
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Groovy Green
is a lime green.
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Formula: This one is really thick. Nothing that can't be fixed with nail polish thinner. On a side note the ripple on the finger is not because of the nail polish. It is because of my nails. 
Outta Sight Orange 
is a orange with pink shimmer
Swatch:
With Flash
 Formula: This is two coats
Peaceful Purple
Is a shimmery violet. 
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Formula: This formula is just like All You Need Is Color but a little better.  Both All You Need Is Color & Peaceful Purple left me kind of disappointed since I wish they were a bit more opaque. I do not recommend both these nail polishes to any one who does not like to fuss with nail polish in order for it to show up. 
Psychedelic Sunshine
Is a shimmery bright yellow.
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Formula: In the beginning I thought this formula was too thick but it ended up being fine. I only needed one coat. I did not plan on getting this one but I got it because it was free (during april Sally Beauty Supply had a special where if you bought two polishes you could get another one {same price or less} for free)
Overall:  If I could only get one nail polish I would be stuck between Psychedelic Sunshine & Outta Sight Orange. If I was forced to choose one I would pick Outta Sight Orange because I do not have anything like it. The one I liked least was Groovy Green. It's just something about the formula. It applies kinda strange. If you do not like having to build up the color I suggest you skip out on All You Need Is Color, and Peaceful Purple. 

On a side-note: I am sorry I am only showing you a swatch on one nail. As I have said in previous posts my nails are not in their best shape. I had acrylic nails done in March. The nail technician went drill crazy and filed my nails too much. When I do have my nails in better health I promise all future swatches will be a full hand.

China Glaze Island Escape (Haul, Review & Swatches)

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Recently I was able to find China Glaze's summer collection, which is Island Escape. It has six new nail polishes. This is what the display looks like:
There are two different finishes which are crème (some say neon instead) & shimmer. The six nail polishes are Blue Iguana, Cha Cha Cha,  Electric Pineapple, Papaya Punch, Señorita Bonita,  & 108 Degrees. 
Polish Overview:
Blue Iguana
I would describe this color as a teal with blue shimmer. 
Swatch:
 With Flash
Without Flash
Notes: This was three coats.
Cha Cha Cha
This is a bright lime green with yellow iridescence.
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was one coat.
Electric Pineapple
This shade for me is a little hard to describe. I would say it is a bright yellow green. This is one of the shades that has a crème finish.  
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Note: This was three coats.
Papaya Punch
When I see this shade I do not see papaya I think of mangos. I would describe this as a bright mango orange. This is the other nail polish in this collection that has a crème finish.  
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was one coat.
Señorita Bonita 
I would describe this as a bright violet with pink shimmer. (On a sidenote: I really think this name is cute)
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was three coats.
108 Degrees
To me this is a red cherry with pink shimmer. 
Swatch:
With Flash
 Without Flash
Note: This was three coats. 
Overall I really like this collection. The polish that impressed me the most was Papaya Punch. The reason it impressed me so much was because the pigmentation was amazing and the formula was nice too. I was a little disappointed with Blue Iguana and Senorita Bonita because you need to build them up. No surprise if I could only get one polish it would be Papaya Punch. I am truly surprised that I would choose that one since I LOVE purples & greens. I would have chosen Senorita Bonita if it were pigmented. The reason I did not choose Cha Cha Cha is because I find it to be a generic color. It looks like Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear in 17 Ivy League (In a future post I will compare the two).

Orly Pin-Up Collection (Haul, Review & Swatches)

Posted by Eveypoison | Labels: , , , , , , , , , , ,

Pin-Up is Orly's 2011 summer collection. The collection has four shades. It has a neon, crème, and two glitters. This is what the display looks like:

The four shades it comes with are Bubbly Bombshell (glitter), Coquette Cutie (crème), Here Comes Trouble (glitter), and Va Va Voom (neon). I ended up getting two of the polishes (but since there was a special I got a third one free). The three I got where Bubbly Bombshell, Coquette Cutie, and Here Comes Trouble. Edit: Recently I ended up buying Va Va Voom. 
Polish Overview:
Bubbly Bombshell
 Is a  pink purple glitter.
 It is on the sheerer side and needs to be build up.
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Coquette Cutie
 Is a vivid pink coral crème. 
I really hate this nail polish. I am thinking of returning it. I am not a big fan of the formula. I will admit that it is quite opaque but I am not in love with the color. 
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Here Comes Trouble 
Is a bright forest green glitter.
 It also is on the sheerer side and needs to be build up. 
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash
Va Va Voom
is a bright neon pink. 
I LOVE this color. I usually hate neons since they can be such a pain to work with but this one gave me no problems. 
Swatch:
With Flash
Without Flash 
Overall I really like the two glitters & would repurchase them. I would however recommend that if you do not like having to build up a color you skip those two. These can be found in Sally Beauty Supply, head2toebeauty.com, and ulta.
