SinfulColors New for Spring 2015

Hey guys!

Press Sample

I have some new SinfulColors to share with you today! These are perfect for spring, and I don't know about you but I am D.O.N.E. with winter!

There are 3 polishes in the Opalescent Trend Toppers collection and I have all three of those to share with you. For continuity's sake, I used 3 coats alone on my ring and pinky fingers and two coats over black on my middle and pointer fingers.

Prized Plume

Sheer Flight was my favorite, look at that gorgeous green, especially over black!! <3

Flight To See

Horizon Shine is a high-shine orange toned red. This was so squishy in two coats! I like this one a lot, as well!

Petal Be The Day is a royal blue and purple confetti glitter in a lavender base; however the base is very sheer so I layered one coat of this over Studio M Hydrangea Kiss.

You can find these polishes at Walgreen and other mass retailers for Spring 2015! And don't forget to visit SinfulColors on their website, Facebook, Twitter, and follow them on Instagram!

Talk to you soon!

Love, Angeline Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have some swatches of the most recent Harmonious Gemstones from Love, Angeline and I threw in a swatch of one of her glitters for good measure.

First, the glitter is Since The Beginning of Time, a glitter bomb that features every glitter Natosha has used since she opened up shop. It was densely packed and this was one coat over China Glaze Boho Blues, with topcoat.

Now onto the Harmonious Gemstones!

First is Rubellite Melodies is a pink polish. The Gemstones are typically pretty opaque in one coat, but two is preferred for full opacity. This was two coats with no top coat.

With topcoat:

Rhythym in Aquamarine is an aqua colored polish. These were all the same formula, 2 coats. Actually, all of these were 2 coats :-)
No topcoat:

With topcoat:

Rhapsody in Cymophane is a yellow gold polish. Again, 2 coats. No topcoat:

With topcoat:

Score-d Garnets is the red gemstone and I love this one. Again, 2 coats, no top coat.

With topcoat:

Finally, Triadic Gemstones is a multi colored gemstone and it's pretty amazing. This was again two coats, no topcoat.

MACRO!! With topcoat! Let's just gaze in the beauty of this. Soooo amazing.

You can purchase Love, Angeline polishes here.

Twinsie Tuesday: Endometriosis Awareness

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I decided to bust out a little bit of nail art for this week's Twinsie Tuesday prompt. I found this picture on pinterest and decided that I loved it so I went with it!

I started with Zoya Purity on the pointer, middle, and ring fingers and Zoya Darcy on my thumb and pinky nails. After letting those dry, I dotted Purity onto Darcy, along with the single dot of Zoya Willa on the pinky nail.I'm not sure why this single black dot is on the nail but I was following the picture, lol. Then I striped on Willa  and the little leaves and let that dry, then dotted the flowers with Zoya Tao, Dove, and Darcy.

I added one side of the yellow dots on the ring finger but it was getting late and I just kind of gave up on the other side, lol!!

I LOVE this manicure. You know I love flowers and I love yellow and yellow and gray is just so pretty to me! I was pretty pleased with how this came out!

Makeup Monday: ColourPop Lippie Stix

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today I thought I would share with you my ColourPop Lippie Stix and Lippie Pencils collection! If you haven't heard of ColourPop, where have you been? Heehee, they are blowing up social media and from what I've experienced, they are totally worth the hype. I have a bunch of the Super Shock eye shadows and lippies and they recently introduced blushes and you can bet your booty that I will be ordering several of those, as well!

There are several great things about ColourPop: first, the price. The lippies, stix, and eyeshadows are only $5 each and the blushes are $8 each. These are very affordable prices and I am all for that. The lippies are in a twist up pen, which is always my favorite type of applicator. I also love that the applicator is a smaller, slimline stick rather than the typical lipstick bullet. I think this makes for much more precise application!

This isn't a sponsored post, ColourPop has no idea who I am but if you want to send me all of the things, ColourPop, I would not be unhappy with that decision :-p

I have 11 of the lippie stix, 3 lippie pencils, and the lip primer. So let's get to it, shall we?

There are 4 finishes for the Lippie Stix: Matte, Satin, Glossy, and Hyper Glossy. I have mainly matte and satin shades, with one glossy finish.

The Lippie Primer enhances the look of any lip color and helps to prolong the wear. I haven't worn this enough to testify if it does those things, but it does help to add a moisturizing step to the lip products, especially the matte lippies. I'm not going to swatch this because, well... it's clear and you would see nothing :-p

Button (Glossy) is a peachy coral shade. This was one of the first lippies that I bought! I do like this color but I prefer the matte and satin lippies so I don't reach for this one as much as I should.

Fancy (Satin) is a mid tone coral color. This is a new lippie to me and I haven't worn it yet! I did purchase the matching lipliner for this shade. I love this color; it's going to be so perfect this summer!

Frida (Satin) is a warm, mid tone pink. This shade was created by CoffeeBreakWithDani. This is one of my favorites colors; it's flattering on every skin tone and it goes with basically every look!

Lumiere (Matte) is a mauvey pink, created by the lovely Kathleen Lights. This is another of my favorites because it goes with everything! I have the matching lipliner for this color, as well.

Gossip (Satin) is a blue toned pink.

Wifey (Satin) is a bright lavender pink.

Heart On (Matte) is a cool toned magenta.

Flawless (Satin) is a deep red violet finish. The lipliner is a smidge darker for this lippie.

LBB (Matte) is a plum wine color.

Clique (Matte) is a vivid orange red. I haven't worn this yet but it's such a badass color, I just had to buy it!

Frenchie (Matte) is a neon red. I haven't worn this yet either but again... I had to have it!

So yeah, I'm a little addicted to ColourPop. They have great customer service, send cute little notes in your packages, everything is made in the USA and they are cruelty free. I mean... what more do you want??

Go check them out, you will thank me later:-)

Poparazzi Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

While I was browsing at CVS a few weeks ago, I noticed a very full and brand new display of Pop-Arazzi polishes. To my knowledge, these are replacing the Spoiled line of polishes that was sold exclusively at CVS. The side cap of polishes was marked on sale, so I grabbed 5 polishes to try.

First is Lovely in Lilac, a pretty straightforward lilac creme. There is some shimmer in this but it's not visible on the nail at all. This was 2 coats.

Sparkle-fetti is labeled as a POP FX polish and has micro red and blue glitter with larger silver hex glitter. It was dense enough to apply substantially in one coat.

And a macro because duh. Glitter macros!

Sapphire Desire is a bright blue metallic polish. This is my favorite, for obvious blue reasons. And this was one coat! I probably could have done two but it was sufficient with one so I left it.

Don't Need No Romeo (huh?) is a dark green creme and I love this one as well. I feel like I don't have a lot of colors like this, which is rare! This was 2 coats.

Never Too Rich is another from the POP FX section of the collection. It's a green holographic glitter with assorted glitter sizes. I used one coat with top coat.

I was a fan of these polishes! I believe they retailed for $2.50 regularly, but I got mine on sale for $0.99 each! Not bad at all!

Have you checked out the new Pop-Arazzi line at CVS?

China Glaze Road Trip for Spring 2015: My Picks!

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 10 of the 12 polishes from the China Glaze Road Trip collection for spring 2015. Is anyone else gleefully excited for spring? I am never a fan of winter and I think each year I loathe it more and more. Come onnnnn spring!!

This collection is made up of pastels and brights and shimmers and cremes.

Pack Lightly is a peach shimmer. The formula on this was a bit patchy and at three coats, the patches were still visible. However, I have a rule about not doing more than three coats of a polish because I think that's just ridiculous for a creme. This was a gorgeous color though and the subtle shimmer was really pretty!

Sun's Up Top Down is a yellow with very subtle shimmer. In the light, the shimmer is visible but not so much otherwise. This was a bit streaky on the first coat but surprisingly, covered in 2 coats! 

More to Explore is the coral peach creme of the bunch and the formula on this was decent, as it covered in two coats. However, this took forever to dry. I completely ruined my manicure after waiting 40 minutes to touch anything!

Uhmm yikes!

Boho Blues is a lovely periwinkle blue creme polish. The formula on this was good, this was two coats with top coat.

Dashboard Dreamer is a light blue with an orangey pinky shimmer. This was very patchy, even at three coats. Wahh.

Wanderlust is a pale pink with some golden shimmer. This was also pretty patchy at three coats, as shown below.

Pinking Out The Window is a coral pink creme. This had an okay formula, I used 2 coats.

Trip of a Lime Time is one of those ugly greens that you will either love or hate. I am leaning more towards not loving this color, lol. This was 2 coats.

License & Registration Pls is a cobalt blue almost jelly polish. This was one of my favorites, no surprise there, I'm sure. This was 2 thin coats.

Even though the colors were lovely, this wasn't my favorite collection in terms of formula. Womp womp.

Pretty & Polished Maleficium

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Pretty & Polished recently released a new collection and the star of the show (in my opinion) was this baby right here: Maleficium. This is a white crelly base with multi-colored flakies throughout.

Look at the color shift!! <3 I was not expecting this to have such a great formula, simply because I don't have a lot of white crelly polishes that are very opaque but this was just about perfect: 2 easy coats with very minimal cleanup.

You can purchase or any of the other Dark Arts collection here.
