Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy in "Full House"

*Product Purchased For Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you this lovely color my mom picked up for me and I painted my nails with a couple of days ago.

I am not huge into gel nail polish, but I love polish brands that make gel nail polish without all of the fuss. No lights, no curing, no waiting. Many easily accessible brands have some nice gel polishes, such as Loreal, Sally Hansen, Covergirl, OPI.

The brand I am showing you today is Revlon. Their gel line is called Colorstay Gel Envy. In their gel line, all that is involved is their polish color, and then their special diamond top coat.

The color from this line that I have to show you today is called Full House. This is a nice light blue that can appear eggshell blue in certain lights. I love the name. I am sure it has not one thing to do with the show Full House, nor the other Asian drama of the same name, nor does it really give off the color vibe of a full house. I love it all the same though. I did two coats by itself.


It is shiny. I love the wet look that it gives. In terms of how long it lasts, I am on day two of wear and some of my nails have chips and some don't. No polish lasts long for me, usually polish chips the next day, but it may just be my weak nails.

These polishes from this line from Revlon usually range from $5-$8, depending on the store. It costs more here in Hawaii, with markups and such.

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

Swatches and Review of AphOrism mini nail polishes

*Products Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today with swatches and review of a new set of polishes that I recently picked up.

On a recent trip that I went with my mom to our local TJMaxx, I spotted this neat collection of nail polishes that I have yet to see before. It is a ten-piece set, from a brand called AphOrism. I have not a clue what their name means. These are all mini polishes.

I tried to look up their brand online, but basically no traces could be found. I have no idea on the retail value of this set, but I paid $7.99 and it said on the box that it retails for at least $14.

The colors in this collection all range from white, gold, coral, red, pink, and purple. Here is a preview of all of the lovely colors this set has to offer:


All of these polishes have no names, so I will just describe the colors.

First up, this is your average white cream. I did three coats by itself. This color is nothing special.


Next up, this one is a nice, sheer, pink shimmer topper. I did three coats by itself. This is probably best over another color, like the white that came in this set or even a pink. I love the look on it's own though.

Third up, this one is a metallic light gold. I did three coats by itself. This is a nice color that I think any sheer colored polishes would go nicely over.


This one is a nice medium coral cream. I did three coats by itself. This would be good under a nice glitter topper or shifter polish. I just feel like a mint colored one would be neat to try.


Next, this one is a rose/dark blush shimmer polish. It has a bit of a gold shift to it. I really like this color, but this one was so hard to photograph clear. I took tons of shots and none were really that good, so this is the best of them. I did three coats by itself.


This next one is a nice medium coral-y pink cream. I did three coats by itself 


Seventh up, this one is a nice medium magenta cream. I did three coats by itself.


Next up, this one is a nice maroon-mauve cream. I did three coats by itself. I love colors like this. While it isn't totally unique, it kinda always feels like it is when I try them out.


This one is my favorite of the bunch, and the one that photographed the best out of every one of these polishes. This one is a shimmer-shifter, dusty purple that has a bit of a pinky shift, which is hard to see in the photo. I did three coats by itself.


Last up, this one is a nice orangey-red cream. I did three coats by itself. My camera, as you know, hates bright colors, so this one was hard to photograph.


My thoughts on these polishes? Nice colors, and all without topcoat are super, super shiny. Application wise? Most of them apply streaky or patchy. When swatches some of these colors, the application was so bad on some nails that I had to swatch them twice to get it to look decent.

If application issues don't matter to you and you are one to make any polish work no matter what, then by all means, pick these up. For me, I am not too fussy with application so I don't mind SO much, so I will be keeping these polishes.

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

Glitter Guilty Bubble Yum

*Polish Swapped For

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you this wonderful polish that I picked up in a swap.

I did a swap maybe a week or so ago with My Boyfriend Hates Makeup. I sent her Picture Polish Watermelon and she sent me Glitter Guilty Bubble Yum and a Wet n Wild Coloricon polish, name unknown.

What I have up to show you is one of those polishes. This is Glitter Guilty in Bubble Yum. This is a nice, bright, bubblegum pink polish filled with blue, white, and hot pink hex, rectangle, and bar glitters. I did three coats by itself. 


The glitter was hard to pick up. I got a bunch on my swatch hand, but hardly any on the other, and too much on my swatch hand's thumb, but that's alright. Application was great. I just love this color so much and it photographs so well! I recommend you guys pick up this color or try other Glitter Guilty polishes if you haven't already!

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