Loreal Paris Nail Color Swatch Selection

*Products either bought for me, swapped for, or bough by me

Hey guys! I am back today with another great post.

I asked you guys what you wanted to see me post next on my blog. I asked you between Maybelline or Loreal polishes, or if none of those interested you, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear polishes.

While I only got one response that didn't narrow their choice down, I settled on showing you guys five lovely Loreal polishes that I had acquired, a few from swaps, one from my mom, and one I bought myself.

Here are the polishes I have up to show you guys!

The first one that I have up to show you guys tonight is called Trust Fund Baby. My mom picked this one up for me, and it must be an older color, as it has a white, angled lid. This color is a metallic, frosty baby pink color. I did around three coats. I love this color, no problems with application.

The next one up is called Rainy Piccadilly. I received this one in one of my first swaps that I did. This is a teal-navy blue cream. I did around two coats. No problems at all with application

Third up, this one is called Brit Invasion. I obtained this one through another swap. This is a taupe polish that leans lilac, and has gold micro glitter throughout. I did around three coats for the swatch. Applicatin was great, no problems.

The fourth one that i have to show you is called Sexy in Sequins. I believe this is the only one that I actually bought myself in store. This one is a lovely texture, dark purple filled with micro glitter that I am having trouble determining the color but feel it is red, and small silver glitter. I did one coat by itself. If you are heavy with coats like me, one is perfect. Application was great, and if you nick your nails before they dry, it's easy to repair and no one can tell.

The last one I have to show you. This one is called Royalty Reinvented. It is a nice lilac cream. I did around two coats, but you can get away with one. I just did two to cover a few small nicks. Application was again, just fantastic!

Out of all of these that I tried, I would have to say that my favorite of the bunch would be Brit Invasion. I don't know, I am usually not into taupe or brown toned polishes, but maybe it is my love of the 60s that makes me like this one. I just love the glitter and shimmer this one gives off in the light. I have worn these before, and while wear time isn't the best but then again no polish on my weak nails lasts long, I totally recommend these. I am sure those with super strong nails will be able to wear these no problem!

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

More Leesha's Lacquer Polishes!

*Products Received in Swap

Hey guys! I am back today with another great post filled with lovely Leesha's Lacquer polishes.

I just lover her polishes, everything is always gorgeous, and this time is no different.

I have four polishes up to show you guys.

The first one that I have to show you is called Iron Patriot. This is a glitter topper filled with micro silver glitter, large blue and red circles, large white hex glitter, and large white star glitter. I did three coats by itself. I think it would look great over a medium blue or white. Application was great, no issues.

The next one I have to show you is called Blood Like Diamonds. This is a burgundy red holo polish filled with flakies throughout. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, no issues at all.

The third one that I have up to show you is called Blue Belle. This is a turquoise blue shimmer polish with a little bit of flakies. I did three coats by itself. It was hard to get a good photo of this with my camera, this is the best shot my camera would take. Application was great for this one, no issues.

The last one that I have up to show you guys has no name. This is a light lavender shimmer polish. I did three coats. Application was okay, a little dragging but evened out by the third coat. Bubbling happened on all nails. I tired to redo one of the nails with the most bubbling, taking time between coats, and it still bubbled. Maybe it was because it is night and I painted my nails, or it is hot here, or something. I still like the color though.

While one polish had issues, I still recommend it, because most people don't live in Hawaii where it is hot generally most of the time, and a lot of you guys paint your nails during the day unlike me where I do it sometimes at night.

Please, please go and purchase her polishes. You need them in your life!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, this is all I have for you guys for now. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Leesha's Lacquer: Pinterest Collection

*Products Sent for Review

Hey guys!

I am back today with a review of some great polishes from my buddy over at Leesha's Lacquer.

She has come out with a brand new collection, called The Pinterest Collection. Inspired by Pinterest, this collection is full of six glitter polishes.

She was nice enough to send me two polishes from this collection that she wanted me to review, and I have them both to show you guys today!

The first one that I have up to show you is called Very Pinteresting. This is a glitter topper filled with small yellow glitter and medium pink and white glitter. I did three coats by itself, and it builds really nicely. Application was great. I just love this, the color combo is very fruity and fresh.

 

The second one she sent me is called Pinsperation. This one is a light blue/periwinkle glitter topper filled also with micro silver glitters and large yellow glitters. I did three coats by itself. This one also builds up very nicely, and looks great by itself. this probably would also look good over yellow or white, or any color you choose. Application was great, no problems.

You can pick up her new Pinterest Collection over at her Etsy shop, and it is out right now!

That's all I have for you guys for now. I hope you all enjoyed! I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Lilac and Lavender Polish Comparison

*Two Products Purchased By Me, One Received in Swap

Hey guys! I am back today with another great post for you guys.

If you follow me on my Facebook page, I mentioned that I was going to do a comparison of three different lilac/lavender colors. I noticed lately I have acquired a number of purple polishes, and I decided it would be great to compare them all.

I thought to make it even better, to show you one at each price point, in case you like all and are on a budget, you can see which one fits your budget.

The first one up that I have to show you is on the low price point spectrum. This is Wet n Wild Megalast's Trippin on the Boardwalk. This is a nice light lilac cream. I did three coats for consistency. Applicaton was great, no problems.

This color, and other from Wet n Wild's Megalast line, retail for $1.99 in drugstores and superstores.

Next, this is in the medium price point spectrum. This is Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Vio-last. This is a medium lavender cream. I did three coats of this one by itself. Application was great, no issues. This is a great purple for more blue lovers, as it is closer to blue than lilacs.

This line retails for around $5.49 each in drugstores and superstores.

Last up, this one is at the higher end of the price point spectrum. This is LVX's Azalea. This is another light lavender color, almost like Trippin on the Boardwalk, but a little lighter I believe. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, not too much cleanup.

This line retails for $16, and can be purchased on their website, https://www.shoplvx.com/index.html, and in select boutiques around the world (check stockists on their website).

I think all three are great colors, and none are the same, not even the first and last ones, so I think they are all worth buying, but it depends on how much you are willing to spend and what look of purple you are going for. As for me, I am pleased to have all three in my collection!

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Funky Fingers Frozen Trio

*Products Received in Swap

Hey guys! I am back again today with another great post. The polishes that I am going to show you in this post are also from the lovely Kathi of Glitzy Glazes.

She was so nice to offer to swap me the new, somewhat coveted, Frozen collection by Funky Fingers that can only be found in Five Below stores.

I love Funky Finger polishes, all that I have received in a swap have been fantastic and have great formulas, so I was excited to get these.

Here is a group shot of the three beauties.

The first one that I have to show you is called Elsa. Each one is named after an important character in the movie Frozen. This is a baby blue glitter topper filled with small light blue and white glitter and large snowflake glitter. I did three coats alone to see how well it builds up. Application was fantastic except for having trouble getting any snowflake glitter out.

Next up, this one is called Olaf. This one is named after the snowman in the movie. This is a white glitter topper, filled with micro white glitter, small white glitter, and large white snowflake glitter. I did three coats by itself. Application was great, although it was hard to get any snowflakes out like the last one.

Last up, this one is called Anna. This one is my favorite of the three. In the bottle, it reminds me of Mermaid Lagoon because of the dark purple glitter. This is a glitter topper filled with micro white glitter, small white glitter, small purple glitter, large white snowflakes, and large light blue snowflakes. I did three coats by itself. Application was great. I had trouble getting the snowflakes out again, but with time, I managed to weasel out three of the blue snowflake glitters.

These, as you know, can be found at Five Below stores only, and I hear they are sold for 3 for $5. You could do like I did though and find someone to swap these to you if you don't have a Five Belowi n your area and really want these badly.

Well, that's all I have to show you guys today! I hope you all enjoyed my post. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Glitzy Glazes Swatchfest and Reviews

*Products Received in Swap

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a while again. Since I had yesterday, and today and tomorrow off, I will be posting a couple times to make up for it.

Today I am going to share with you guys these fabulous polishes that I got in a fabulous swap that I did with the lovely Kathi from Glitzy Glazes.

She sent me nine polishes. Six of these beauties were from her own personal brand, Glitzy Glazes. I have reviewed for her once before last year, and I loved her polishes. They are so pretty, apply well, and are very unique.

She let me pick which six polishes I wanted. Turns out, I managed to pick all polishes in the same color family, and I kinda made a gradient of colors without knowing it, which is neat.

Here is a group shot of all of the colors I have up to show you guys!

The first one that I have up to show you is from a collection she came out with at Christmas. This is called In Your Dreams, Sleigh Boy. It is a creamy, milky colored polish filled with red and pearl colored micro glitter, red medium circle glitter, and red and white diamond glitters. I did around three coats to get it opaque. Even though I liked this color, I thought it was going to be the color I liked the least of all of them because it is holiday themed, but I really love it a lot! Application was fantastic!

Second up, this one is called Pop the Pink Bubbly. This is a super, super sheer light pink, filled with small silver glitters and large round silver glitters. I did three coats to get it as opaque as I possibly could. I was unable to get any large round silver glitters out, sadly. Besides that issue, application was great! I think this is such a cute color, especially for a young girl.

Next up, this one is called Cindy Lou Who, from her Christmas collection. This is a light-medium pink, filled with small silver glitter, medium pink bar glitter, and large silver circle glitters. I did three coats to get it as opaque as I possibly could, but there is still visible nail line. I still had trouble getting out the circle glitters, but managed one this time. Application was great, this is such a fun color. It's like a party on your nails to me.

The fourth one that I have to show you is called I Love This!. It is a baby pink, but bright, with clear-ish small round glitters and micro silver glitters. I did three coats for consistantcy and to even out lines. Application was fine, a little blotchy but evened out by the third coat. This is such a nice pink, you can never have too many pinks, as you can tell from me and my love of pink.

This next one is called Fuchsia on the Luchsia. This is a nice fuchsia purple polish, with clear small round glitters and micro silver glitters. I did around three coats of this color. I photographed this super late at night, like past 1am, so sorry about the haziness of the photo. Application was fine, no issues. I will say this polish had a smell to it similar to that of the Kleancolor polishes, but it doesn't smell on the nails long.

Last one up, this is called Foolish Mortals, from her Halloween collection. This is a super deep purple, that appears to me to have magenta tones to it, with micro silver glitters and micro silver bar glitters. I did three coats by itself. Application was splotchy, it pulled in places but by three coats it evened out great! This one smelled like the last one, but I wonder if it is because of the darker tones of these two compared to the others.

Glitzy Glaze polishes can be purchased on her Storenvy page. Prices range from $4 for minis to $9 for full size, and $33 each for her Halloween and Christmas sets. I completely recommend her polishes. They are made from love, and are so pretty. You won't find polishes like these all over the place, so if you haven't picked up any from her before, now is the time!

Well, that's all I have for you guys today. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Zoya Yana

*Product Received in Swap

Hey guys! Today I have a short post for you, with another great Zoya polish to show you that I got in one of the swaps I did.

This one is called Zoya Yana. In the bottle, it appears to be a bright pink cream, but when you put it on your nails, you can tell that it has a subtle shimmer that makes this color very unique.

I did around three coats. Application was great, I had no problems. This is a very pretty color. It is a bit brighter in person. I have many colors like this, but I still am happy to have this in my collection.

Well, told you it was a short post today! I hope you guys enjoyed it. I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Zoya Zuza

*Product Received in Swap

Hey guys! I am back today to show you a lovely polish that I picked up in one of the swaps that I did.

This I believe was only my second Zoya polish that I owned at the time I got it, so I was excited to grow my collection.

Zuza is a bright tuquoise metallic polish. My photos don't show the brightness of the color as much as other swatches. I tried with my light at night and in the morning, and it came out around the same. It's a little brighter in person.

I did around three coats by itself. I love this color, it's so pretty. I think it would be great as a gradient or with some glitter to spice it up.

Zoya polish can be purchased in salons, as far as I know (and which is the only way to get them here in Hawaii), and on their website. They retail for around $9 a bottle.

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. I will be back tomorrow with another great post. I'll talk to you guys later. Bye!
