The color is almost blackened...but no, not really, it's just a dark rich blue-green. This is the color that my mom called "dollar bill green" - we had a car that was almost this color when I was growing up. I haven't often seen this blue-green shade in a...
A decent enough medium peach creme; but the application was a bit uneven. I don't know if that's because of the age of the polish, or if my nails were just badly in need to buffing, or both…but this applied with streaks and with thin patches. Even with three...
This color looks redder and warmer than I expected, based on the description and on various online photos. I may be able to make this work because of the fuchsia tones, but it isn't my favorite color ever. (And my photos are dreadfully blurred - sorry!!) There was a tiny...
According to Stila, this is supposed to work as an eyeshadow primer, a foundation primer, a lip color, a cheek color, a floor wax, and a dessert topping. Okay, those last two weren't in the ad copy. But everything else was. Seriously - this is marketed as the uber-versatile use-it-everywhere...
Maybe it's just me, but this seems like a gigantic case of NameFail. The color called “oomph” is utterly bereft of same. It's a supersheer light pink sheen that barely has any color payoff even when applied heavily. Why they didn't use this name for…well, a color that actually...
In the pot, this looks like a bright red. Applied, it's lightened ever so slightly. The color payoff is a little less than what I'd hoped for, and a little softer than it appears in the pot; but it's even, it's similar both dry and foiled, and there's a pink...
Extremely dark, more charcoal than red showing in this. It's equally dark in the pot as it is on my lids, so I don't know if I got a less-than-amazing batch, or something else is at play. The picture on Concrete Minerals' website leads one to believe that there's a...
I don't know if it's personal preference, coloring, or age (not 13) but I tend to prefer dusty pinks to “ballerina” or straight pastel pinks. Nadir looked a little more tanned in the vendor photos than it does in person - but no matter. The tones in the pink and the...
