CHINA GLAZE AWAKENING COLLECTION FOR HALLOWEEN 2010 SWATCHES & REVIEW

Good Morning Girls..

Wanna see the gorgeous China Glaze’s Awakening Collection? Tada..

Ick-A-Bod-Y

Ick a body is a black based polish with orange glitters on it. Yes ORANGE GLITTERS!! I’ve never seen that before! And so its simply my favorite! This was 3 coats.

Zombie Zest

Zombie Zest is a dark greenish base polish, covered with green & gold glitters. Its also nice but it reminds me too much of Orly’s Its Not Rocket Science so I wouldn’t say its totally awesome. A bit only:-D

Mummy May I?

Love the name. Its cute isn’t it? Well Mummy may I has a blackish, purplish base with purple glitters stuck on it. Its gorgeous too but I like it more for its name:-D

Neway, as for overall, this is a fabulous collection. Especially since almost everyone is into glitters this time of the year although I don’t see glitters on Malaysian’s nails (I wonder why?hmm) but it surely is famous elsewhere. Application wise, to get an opaque finish, about 3 coats were needed. Now the great thing about this polish is that unlike all the other glitter polishes that has clear base, this already has a base (the dark color base) so another polish is not needed as the base. Drying time was pretty fast, and just to get a supper glossy finishing, I recommend putting on a top coat. The only pain in the arse was the removing part. I hate removing glitter polishes and this is one of those  polishes that takes like 10 mins just to remove it. But putting that aside, everything else was great. So what you think? Like it?

COLOR CLUB GOSSIP COLUMN SWATCHES & REVIEW

Good Morning girls.

Ok today im gonna show you girls this color from ColorClub: Gossip Column. This is my first time using a polish from this brand and ill have to say its pretty impressive. First because its cheap, and secondly I love the colors they’ve got to offer!

Neway back to today’s color, Gossip Column is a dark blue color. Something that can easily called as peacock blue. I know you’ve seen quite a bit of this color this year but I still think this is the perfect peacock blue. Its fully cream, and it applies flawlessly. Drying time was good too. Only problem was the brush tends to get ‘stuck’ on the nails so that was a really bad application problem. Otherwise, it was great.

CHINA GLAZE FOR AUDREY SWATCHES & REVIEW

Hey girls..

Now before I went to bed, I want to show you girls this famous color from China Glaze. Ok actually it’s THE famous color from CG. Some say it looks like Chanel’s Nouvelle Vague, and some considers it as a replica of Tiffany & Co.’s patented blue. In my opinion, it’s the exact of both. 

So wanna see the ‘powerful’ color? Presenting to you “For Audrey”.

with flash

Artificial Lighting

Nice huh? Well too bad you can’t see the shine in this picture. I just didn’t know how to capture it but really it shines, not as matte as this. Everything was fine with this color except that its too streaky! I hate the application. The color is thicker than usual that its a bit hard to apply. I had to put on a ‘thick’ topcoat to cover the streak. Thank god it dries fast (not sure it’s the polish or the top coat). But ya I like the color:-) I mean it’s the green genre so naturally its my favorite.

So is this one of your favorite polish? Or do you think its overhyped?

Think about it while I go to bed.. Nite nite everyone..

EYEKO NAIL POLISH SWATCHES & REVIEW-VINTAGE & POSH

Good morning girls..

Today im gonna show you guys my favorite colors from Eyeko; Vintage and Posh.

Vintage

Vintage is a pastel green color that had instantly fell into my ‘favorite green shade’ category. Its one of those color that is similar to Essie’s Apple mint candy etc so I really like this. This picture required 2 coats and trust me the application was marvelous.

Posh

Posh is one of those taupe shades that reminds me so much of milky chocolates. Again since grey-brown shades are so famous right now in Malaysia that I can’t help it but to like this. Its really beautiful. The application for this was also flawless.

In the whole everything was perfect for these colors except the drying time. It took quite sometime to dry off so that’s a bit of a turn off for me. Im the type who need things to be done fast and this was seriously not one of it. But then again my Nubar Diamont Top Coat helped a lot in here so ya, these colors are back to being my favorite:-D

ORLY PLASTIX COLLECTION 2010 SWATCHES & REVIEW

Hi girls.  Well im just so excited to get my new camera that I had to test it out indoor (that’s the whole reason I bought it anyway) so here are some pics from Orly’s Plastix Collection.

Purple Pleather

Purple pleather is, purple. Like real purple. Love it. The application was smooth and this was 2 coats. It gives a satin like finish and dries really fast. Not as fast as matte but much much faster that other normal finishes.

Viridian Vinyl

This is a blue green polish that looks absolutely awesome! The second picture isn’t the real color though. The first one was taken with flash; gives a better idea on how it looks in real. Again, this was 2 coats too. I love the way it dries really fast but these polishes are more forgiving than matte. It probably takes about 1 minute to dry so you have time for ‘adjustment’ if you need it.

Well the pics aren’t that great so im not really satisfied with it. Regardless, this plastix collecton is amazing! I wish I bought the other two colors as well. I really like it. I love Viridian Vinyl the most. Which of this two is your favorite?

NUBAR INDIGO ILLUSION SWATCHES & REVIEW

Good Morning girls.

Today im gonna show you guys another duochrome finishing from Nubar. Now before I start let me just say that no matter what, duochromes and holos are my favorite finishing so this post might be a bit biased. Plus its Nubar! My fav too:-D

Neway, this is indigo illusion. And truthfully, it does give an illusion feeling when you see it on your nails ( mine I mean). Initially I thought it would be a purple-blue duochrome only. Little did I know that it would play some mind games and give me grey, green, silver, gold and at times pink color too! I’m totally in love with this color so I couldn’t help it but to take it at different angling to show you what I mean. 

Cant really see the duochrome but still its gorgeous isn’t it? Well the drying time was great too! The only problem was the application. Somehow the brush seemed thinner here so it was a little difficult to apply. Other than that this is an awesome polish:-)

So you like? :-D

CHINA GLAZE HOLIDAY 2010 COLLECTION SWATCHES: THE OTHERS

Good Morning girls..

Today im gonna show you guys the last part of the China Glaze’s 2010 Holiday Collection. But before that, please remember that today is the last day for the Nail Galore’s Give away so for those of you who have not joined it, please feel free to do so before 0000 Malaysian time todayJ

So back to the collection, well this is the part of the collection I like because you don’t get these colors anytime of the year but at the end of the year only so here goes..

Frosty.

Frosty is a white sheer-shimmer polish that reminds me of snow flakes! Its really gorgeous and although this reminds me of winter wonderland from Orly, there is just something to this that’s much attractive. Probably because it had smaller flakes? I don’t know. But to get a full coverage as this, I had to apply 3 layer of the polish but yes! It can be worn alone! Although of course it would look more obvious with a white base coat.

Snow

Snow is a white crème polish that is easily found anywhere. Its basically just a white polish- just like OPI alpine Snow, Orly’s  white out etc. But if you don’t own any white polish, then probably you should go for this. Why? Coz its so smooth! You know how streaky it gets whenever you apply white polishes? I dono why but they always seem more ‘thicker’ than the other average polishes but this was so smooth and applied admirable well!

Cheers To You

Cheers to you is a metallic silver shimmery polish. It has a very metallic-y silver finish that could easily pass as a faux minx polish. Very cool.

Midnight Kiss

This is a soft gold polish that has metallic finish too. Nice but not one of its kind. Notice that OPI has the same color too? No? Click here to view it. Now I wouldn’t say it’s a drop dead dupe but its similar and its awful that I now have 2 of the same color:-(

Party Hearty

This is my favorite color in this whole collection because of its versatility. Its so cool that it changes everything you wear! Unfortunately I don’t have this color on its own (accidently deleted it. How dumb can I get!) So here there are few swatches on how it looks like on the other polishes in this collection.

Call me crazy but I like it on Midnight kiss the most:-)

So anyway girls, overall it is a full on Christmas collection. Lots of glitters, reds and green.. really nice, applied easily, average drying time for some while others were fairly fast and most importantly cheap!

Thanks for reading girls.. so overall which color do you like? From the whole collection? View part 1-the greens, and part 2-the reds.
