Inglot – 709

Tuesday, 5 October, 2010
Inglot 709

I bought this color for my friend Kelly when I was living in India. This was my introduction to matte nail polishes and this was a fall 2008/spring 2009 color. I love it and the coverage was a dream. This dried quickly and was opaque in two very easy coats.

I wish Inglot was here in Northern California. I miss the store! 🙂

OPI – MonSooner or Later

Friday, 1 October, 2010

Fabulous red that’s part of OPI’s India Collection. I’ve decided that I’m going to start chronicling my messed up OPI brushes.

Great coverage and formula – dried fast and was perfectly opaque in 2 coats!

 

Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War

Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War Sunlight

I missed the boat on the first round, but when Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War was re-released you can bet I was all over it. I am so glad I did.

While some hated Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War, on me when I was wearing it, I liked it and didn’t really care what others said.

I didn’t count on posting 3 Rescue Beaty Lounges in a row, but in case you can’t tell I am a huge fan. Formula on this was a bit runny, but it was opaque in two coats. Please don’t mind the heavy handed application on the ring finger. Loved that this dried super quick. I was done in under half an hour – that’s pretty darn good.

I know a few bloggers who are not fond of shades like this. They call them ‘poo’ colors. I saw this and just thought, “What a pretty olive green this is…” I’m so glad that I totally scored Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War.

Now that you’ve seen Rescue Beauty Lounge No More War, do you feel like you’ve missed the boat on this? Will you be trying to find a way to get your hands on a bottle?

L’oreal – Delicate Dusk

Wednesday, 15 September, 2010

Part of the Limited Edition Color of Hope for Fall 2010, this color was gorgeous. I had no problems with application.

It’s a gorgeous light dusky purple/violet. I had to have it – even if it it is L’oreal.

So perty! 🙂

Zoya – Kristi

Friday, 3 September, 2010

Last year Project Red was started in honor of our troops who are serving overseas. This is my version of Project Red – I’ll be showing a red nail polish every Friday until our troops come home.

Zoya’s Kristi is from Zoya’s Fall 2010 Collection, Wonderful. Kristi is a wonderful blue based red. Not quite true red and not blood, but a good mix of red, hint of orange and strong tinge of blue. This looked absolutely wonderful on me! I just may very well end up wearing this shade for the weekend…Hm…

OPI, Ginger & Liz and Revlon – Damone Roberts 1968, Ivy League and Minted

Thursday, 2 September, 2010

I’ve been on a mint kick. Well, I was on a mint kick, but it happened at night. No, not candy. I’m talking nail polish.

I had finally scored Revlon’s Minted. I got a cute sample size of Ginger & Liz’s Ivy League. I have OPI’s Damone Roberts 1968. I wanted to wear them all, but knew I really couldn’t. I decided to put them all together for a comparison because those 3 were my newest mint greens. I wasn’t thinking…and realized it was night time, but eh. Sometimes the flash really does make the color stand out as well as flatter it, but it also has a tendency to drown the color/make it prettier than what it is.

Not in this case of the Mints! It showcased everything accurately.

OPI’s Damone Roberts was a bit thick, but it dried quickly.

Ginger & Liz looks bad because I wasn’t wearing my glasses on those 2 fingers. OOPS. The formula dried quick as well.

Revlon’s color had some serious cuticle pull. I was annoyed. Formula was runny and took a while to dry.

Nubar – Citadel

Wednesday, 1 September, 2010

Let me state, for the record…Right here, right now…how much I love grey nail polish. I love it so much, yet it won’t (or can’t) love me back.

See below for the horrific evidence.

Nubar nailed it very well with the formula – opaque in two very thin coats. Fast drying, too.
