Zoya’s Vesper

Zoya’s Vesper

Posted on Saturday, at

This is a lovely “neutral” blue - one of my favorites from this collection. The formula is pretty standard for Zoya cremes: thick without being goopy, excellent self-leveling, and a nice curing speed. It would work well as a stamping polish, though possibly not as well in stamps with extremely...

ColourPop’s Lite Stix in Star Brite

ColourPop’s Lite Stix in Star Brite

Posted on Thursday, at

This is a very sheer, very simple highlighter: gold microshimmer particles in a clear base. There’s no base tint, just the tiny gold shimmer particles. It’s also a softer gold, about as “neutral” as I’ve seen for a gold. It can be layered to form something resembling...

If you’ve long been looking for a truly neutral but bright pink lip liner and color, grab this! It’s not the least expensive, but it’s a very good value: once the lip color goes on, it fades more slowly than so many other bright lip colors. Aside...

Color Club’s Wild Cactus

Color Club’s Wild Cactus

Posted on Wednesday, at

This is one of the juiciest, most pigmented green polishes that I think I’ve used. It goes on very well, almost complete coverage in one coat. Since it is so pigmented, it may stain your nails unless you use a base coat.

I love the base and change colors on this one! I’m less than fond of the semisheer nature, and of the texture. I needed three coats, and would have liked to apply a fourth for a more vivid blue; but the blue glitter in the polish would have built...

Color Club’s Cool Down kit

Color Club’s Cool Down kit

Posted on Tuesday, at

A collection of purples, blues, and one neutral. Like all of these 7-piece kit, all of these polishes were previously released. Four of the polishes came from collections released in the past year; three of those came from Wild Mulberry. (That part is, I think, a bit unusual. Most of...

Notoriously Morbid’s Won’t Be Heard

Notoriously Morbid’s Won’t Be Heard

Posted on Monday, at

A nicely-pigmented medium brown with hints of ashy undertones. The wet application was a little less than wonderful, since first I added too little water, then I had slightly too much. It doesn’t lose depth from pot to application, and it’s an ash-toned brown that isn’t (in...

TKB Trading’s Vivid Flamingo

TKB Trading’s Vivid Flamingo

Posted on Monday, at

One of four bird-themed bright warm colors from TKB. It does soften a bit from what I see in the pot, but it’s still very vivid and very pigmented. It applies smoothly, whether I’m applying it wet or dry. (This is marketed by TKB as a good replacement...
