OPI Pepe's Purple Passion

Good Morning!  It's the weekend...Yay!

I was looking for a particular dark green to put on.  I couldn't find it so I grabbed Pepe's Purple Passion from the Muppet's Collection and started polishing.  How amazingly saturated it is!  I could have applied one coat but I used the usual two coats. I think it's lovely, I would describe it as a dark raisin plum with gold and purple glass flecks.

Pin It

 Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

Milani Limited Edition High Speed Fast Dry Swatches/Review

Good Morning,

Wouldn't it be nice if all of our polishes we own were one coaters?  That means you can do a quick mani and be out the door in know time.  Milani has some in there new LE Summer Collection.

                      Instantaneous Blue

This is a gorgeous glass Fleck blue.  It has pink flecks in it but it does not show up on the nail.  For me I had to use 3 coats to cover tips of my nails.  For you shorties you will need 2 coats.  This one was not a one coater. 

Hot Pink Frenzy

A bright pink creme but not a neon.  This was a one coater but I like to use at least two coats (it's a habit)

No topcoat was used on these.  They did not dry in 60 seconds like they claim to. I love the new pro-wide brush.  I do like the formula on these and this collection has some pretty colors.  I haven't seen this collection at CVS or Walgreen's.  Milani's are starting to become distinct in my area.  I hope you can find them.  Go ahead and pick up a few.

New Limited Edition High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquer – fast and luxurious, to get you on the GO – their new flat brush for fast and flawless application that dries in 60 seconds. For an additional pop of color use Milani’s High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquers for extreme shine and electrifying nails. These high voltage bright pigments are available in eight high fashion shades and great for the summer season!


Available Shades: Purple Rush, Instantaneous Blue, Racy Green, Fast Fuchsia, Jiffy Orange, Violet Dash, Yellow Whiz, & Hot Pink Frenzy.

(The ones I swatched were sent to me for review)

 

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

A Lime One

Good Morning,

Here is another Cosmetic Arts nail lacquer that I picked up at Ross.  Too bad these don't have names on them.  I tried going out to Forsythe Cosmetic Group  website to look up the name.  I thought for sure the names were listed there.  Oh, well I couldn't find them this time around. 

As you can see it's a minty bright green creme.  I needed three coats to cover well.  It dried to a matte finish so I applied a topcoat to give it some shine.

Nicole By OPI Make Mine Lime is from the Spring 2010 Color Collection.  To change up the look I applied one coat.  I love the glass fleck foil-y shimmer. It's very sparkly!

There you have it.  Two great lime colors

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)

China Glaze Island Escape Summer Collection Swatches/Review

Good Morning,

I have the Island Escape Summer Collection to show you.  This collection is great for the summer.  I love all the colors.  They are bright and fun.

                                  Blue Iguana

Turquoise Blue glass fleck with a hint of purple.  The formula is thin so I needed 3 coats

Papaya Punch 

Orange creme that's not as bright as a neon.  I used 2 coats

108 Degrees

Glass fleck Fuchsia with a flash of pink shimmer needed 2 coats

Electric Pineapple 

Yellow green creme or chartreuse needed 2 coats

Cha Cha Cha 

Yellow tone green with a flash of yellow shimmer needed 2 coats

Senorita Bonita

Purple with red shimmer needed 2 coats

From the bottles I didn't think this collection was all that special.  Once I applied them I fell in love.  I used 2 coats on all except Blue Iguana which needed 3 coats to get to bottle color.  It's a nice variety of colors in this collection which included my favorite colors blue, green and purple.  The cremes were easy to apply as well.

These were sent to me for review  

Until next time please have a great nail polish day. (✿◠‿◠)
