butter LONDON EventFull Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose  Affiliate Link

I purchased the 6 piece butter LONDON Eventfull set before Christmas and am just now getting around to swatching these. Since I'm not a fan of overly saturated posts with pictures, I broke this up into 2 posts, with 3 polishes in each post.

Warm Fuzzies is a taupe creme. This had a really nice formula, covering in 2 coats. All of these polishes did dry very shiny, as well! I've not tried the Patent Shine line before but they seem to live up to the "shine" name.

Mum's the Word is a peachy mauve. This covered in 2 coats, as well. This tone of color isn't my very favorite for my skin tone but otherwise the polish itself was fine.

Scrumptious is a berry creme. This needed 3 coats.

Stay tuned for the other half!

Talk to you soon!

KL Polish Swatches!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have swatches of 5 of the 6 polishes from the KL Polish inaugural release.  I didn't purchase Snickerdoodle because I just didn't think I would wear that color very often but the rest looked perfect for me :)

One thing I will mention about these polishes actually has to do with the brush. The brush is very short and a wide paddle brush. At first, I really didn't care for it but once I applied a coat or two and got used to the feel of the short brush and wand, it wasn't a problem at all. I generally prefer a paddle brush so that was no issue for me.

Oh, and all of these polishes dry really really shiny!

Zoey is a rosy mauve creme. A nice formula on this polish, almost opaque in 1 coat but it needed 2 for complete coverage.

Caramello is a mustard creme. This is the star of the show for me. I love this sort of ugly pretty color and don't have anything exactly like this in my collection. Another 2 coater, good formula.

Brick Sidewalk is a brick red creme. Another great formula, and opaque in 2 coats.

Gumption! is a navy blue creme... almost a crelly type of formula. This was still opaque in 2 coats despite being a jelly/crellyish formula.

Broccoli & Chocolate is deep brown. This was a little bit thin and needed 3 coats.

Have you tried KL Polish yet? These colors aren't terribly unique, with the exception of Caramello but the collection is nice and the formulas and polishes are nice to wear. I was pleased with these for a first collection and would definitely purchase from the brand again!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

More Zoya swatches from the Black Friday sale today!

This is Tru, a charming eggplant purple with gold shimmer. This has been on my list for a long long time so I'm so happy to finally own this polish! This was 2 coats.

Aster is a lilac with silver shimmer. A little thin, and needed 3 coats for opacity.

Faye is described as a "Bronzed mauve with purple and brown undertones and gold sparkle". This is in the same family as Zoya's Daul, which is one of my favorite Zoya's ever. This is a bit sheer, and needs 3 coats.

Orly Mauve and Glitter Manicure

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I have a fall manicure for you, inspired/copied directly from this pin.

I used all Orly polishes for this manicure: You're Blushing, Gossip Girl, Blend, and Hillside Hideout. This is such a simple manicure but I really loved these colors together!

L.A. Colors Color Last Everlasting

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have a NOTD for you!

I recently spotted the L.A. Colors Color last collection at Walmart and had to grab a few colors. If I recall, they were $1.99, maybe $2.99?

This is Everlasting, a dusty light purple creme. This was 2 coats. I didn't test the wear time on this because I just don't ever really do that for any polish lol.

Have you tried this line before? DO they last for 10 days as the bottle claims??

Sally Hansen Fall 2015 Designer Inspired Shades

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have 4 of the polishes from the Fall 2015 Designed Inspired shades from Sally Hansen to share with you!

Concrete Jungle is a medium gray creme. This was 2 coats, plus topcoat.

Yummy Yam is a strange but super interesting butterscotch/yam color. This was 2 coats, with topcoat.

Leaf Peeper is a medium mauve color. Again, 2 coats plus topcoat.

Midnight Affair is a dark blue navy. 2 coats, plus topcoat.

These are some interesting colors, and I quite like them! The formula on all of the colors that I tried was easy to work with and covered nicely in two coats.

I believe there are 9 shades in total; have you seen any of these colors in stores? What do you think?

OPI Holland Colors

Hey guys!

I have 4 of the new OPI Holland colors for you! These are the only ones I purchased, although A Roll In The Hague is tempting me (WHAT is with the orange, lately???)

In the interest of me not repeating myself, these are all 2 coats with no top coat. They all applied like a dream :-) 

First, Wooden Shoe Like To Know? This is sort of a weird color. I'm not really sure if it's more purple or brown but it definitely has a golden shimmer. 

Next, Gouda Gouda Two Shoes.  I guess you call this mauve? Not normally a color I'm drawn to but it is really pretty. It has the same golden shimmer as the first polish.

I've Got A Herring Problem, a dusty blue with micro silver shimmah/glassfleck. I love shimmah. 

Thanks A Windmillion! This is probably my favorite. Such a lovely and calming color. Aaahhh... 

What are your favorite Holland colors?
