China Glaze’s Watermelon Rind

China Glaze’s Watermelon Rind

Posted on Wednesday, at

This one was quite a bit thinner than I expected - but it's a gorgeous green! I did need four coats for opaque coverage, though. If anyone knows of a China Glaze color that's this shade, with the microglitter finish, but is more opaque…I'd definitely love to find out...

Sally Hansen’s Hot Magenta

Sally Hansen’s Hot Magenta

Posted on Wednesday, at

Very bold, very intense color, excellent payoff, good spreadability. The slight blue tones are less apparent when I use this for nail stamping, but I definitely see a faint blue cast when I use this for an overall manicure. As of this morning (I ran to my nearby drugstore on...

Zoya’s Shay

Zoya’s Shay

Posted on Wednesday, at

All of the Touch polishes are high-shine creme finish, and seem a bit thicker than most of Zoya's polishes. Whatever the reason for that, both Shay and Pandora (the other polish I've used from the Touch collection) cover completely and evenly in two coats. They'll be excellent bases for nail...

Zoya’s Dannii

Zoya’s Dannii

Posted on Wednesday, at

This is the brightest color from the Intimates collection, and one of the two microglitters (Jules being the other). It's a very bright purple…almost Easter-candy bright. I got it during the Earth Day promo because so many people raved about this shade, wore it for one manicure for just...

BareMinerals’ Bread Pudding lipstick

BareMinerals’ Bread Pudding lipstick

Posted on Tuesday, at

About halfway between Revlon's Soft Nude and Soft Rose Colorburst lipsticks - a warmer nude shade with a bit more heft than French Pastry, but more brown than Bellini. This shade works best on me when I top it with something like Joy buxom, to warm it up; or Eva...

NYX Cosmetics’ Fusion Round Lipstick

NYX Cosmetics’ Fusion Round Lipstick

Posted on Tuesday, at

Great color…a brighter pink that's right at the boundary of “too vivid” for folks who are somewhere between in-your-face bold color and natural-with-an-edge. It will just require regular touchups and it migrates a lot (like all of the Round lipsticks.) Good for the price, though, if you buy from...

Aromaleigh v1’s Bamboo

Aromaleigh v1’s Bamboo

Posted on Monday, at

More pale gold than green, but the green is definitely there. Like all the other Aromaleigh metallic shades, this applies well and has good color payoff. I initially held off on getting this color because I just thought it was too neutral-ish-cool to really look good. Then I got some...

Evil Shades’ Faerie Kisses

Evil Shades’ Faerie Kisses

Posted on Monday, at

A brighter coral-pink. There's a very slight satin finish on this one - it's not a shimmer, but definitely not a straight matte, even applied dry. I don't know for sure, but I think that Shiro might have a similar pink. This is a fairly neutral pink, but it's a...

NYX Cosmetics’ Penny Pearl

NYX Cosmetics’ Penny Pearl

Posted on Monday, at

Looks like a dark copper-red in the vial, applies with definite pinkish-red undertones. If you're looking for a true copper, or something more orange, this one may not be your best bet. I love the color, though I kind of wish it was more coppery. Application is fairly good, but...

BareMinerals’ Where It’s At: The Royal Treatment kit

BareMinerals’ Where It’s At: The Royal Treatment kit

Posted on Thursday, at

I held off on this kit for quite a while. It looked like another blue, another neutral, and another lip gloss (which I honestly cannot stand, regardless of the color.) I finally got the kit when it was half price at Sephora, and found that I really like both of...
