Essie My Better Half & She's Picture Perfect

My Better Half is a pink shimmer. She's Picture Perfect is a lilac creme with a purple shimmer. Unfortunately I couldn't capture the purple shimmer in my pictures. Both shades had a great formula, I used three coats for each swatch. If you're looking for some Essie polishes I suggest you check out Beyond Polish. They are very reasonably priced and provide international shipping. The products in this post were provided for review....

Incoco Nail Polish Appliques

Incoco recently sent me Perfect Prom Purple and Urban Jungle nail polish strips to review. I prefer nail polish strips to nail foil stickers. These nail polish strips are made from real nail polish so they are more flexible and adhere to the curve of your nail better. These are great for a special occasion or even everyday wear. They don't need to dry so you're ready to go as soon as you've finished applying...

CND VINYLUX Review

Beyond Polish sent me some CND VINYLUX polishes to try. I'd never tried CND before but I was very impressed. Both of these were opaque, I only needed two coats. I also received the CND VINYLUX Weekly Top Coat. The brush was really soft (it might be good for use over stamping without smudging) I used it for both swatches, it dries fast too. Both of these shades lasted quite a while, I wore them for at least a week and only had mild tip wear...

Pretty Serious Hit The Road Collection

This collection has been out for a while now. I bought both of the new Halloween collections earlier this week so I thought I should hurry up and post these! This collection is based on famous movie cars. 88mph is a grey steel packed with holo glitter. The formula was thick, opaque and it dries gritty, like the liquid sand finish. I used two coats in the swatch above. This is my favourite polish from collection! 88mph is a tribute...

Born Pretty Store Nail Foils

This was my first experience with nail foils. I had read that you need foil glue to apply them, and somewhere along the line I'd read a description of foil glue that I thought sounded a lot like PVA glue. I didn't have any foil glue but I have plenty of PVA glue so I thought I'd try to apply the foils using that. I started with a black base because I didn't expect to cover my entire nail with the foil. You need to make sure...

Duri - What a Keeper, Provocative Innocent, Miracote, Drop 'n Go & Pink Tiger Lint Free Gauze

What a Keeper is a purple creme with a subtle blue shimmer. This was really opaque and I barely needed the second coat. It's more of a one coater but I used a second coat to even out the first coat a little. I couldn't really capture the blue shimmer on my nails but you can see it in the bottle.                NAIL POLISH INFO  Brand: Duri Name: What a Keeper Number:...
