NYC New York Color Midnight Beauty nail polish collection

Good Friday morning! How has your week gone? I’ll be honest, the past few days have been miserable – one of my kids has been sick (…and whiny) so I’m totally out of energy at this point. Ugh! haha! Let’s get to today’s nail polishes from NYC New York Color: the Midnight Beauty collection.

I Love Nail Polish Princeton & Dreaming in Violet swatches and review

Good morning everyone! I’m starting to be on the mend and a nice hot shower definitely helped. Aahhh! It feels good to be able to breathe. 😛

Today I have two more I Love Nail Polish brand polishes: Princeton and Dreaming in Violet. Princeton is described as “mint green holographic” polish. Well, I didn’t find it as minty as I would have liked, but a bit dusty mint green.  Showing here is 3 thin coats, with Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcoat.

Then we have Dreaming in Violet, described as ILNP’s tribute to the Color of the Year, Radiant Orchid. Well, they certainly nailed it. I do love this color! Showing here is 2 coats with G&G HK Girl topcoat:

What are your thoughts on these two polishes? I’d love to know! 🙂 You can pick these two and Kings & Queens from yesterday starting today at 12p.m. PST at ilnp.com. I am parting with Princeton on my blog sale as well. Until tomorrow,

Wet n Wild Street Art nail polish (and comparisons)

Good morning everyone! I have for you today, the Street Art nail polish collection from Wet N Wild, and a comparison to last year’s Pop Art Craze collection. In this collection are: Cursed, Deception, Get Lucky, Here Comes Trouble, Temption, and Too Hot For You. These are all topped by Wet N Wild shine topcoat, with the exception of Too Hot For You, which I’ll talk about below.

First up, is Cursed, a sheer orange polish. Shown here is 1 thin and 1 thick coat.

Next is Deception, a sheer purple polish. Shown here is 3 coats.

Get Lucky is next, a creme yellow polish. Shown here is 1 thin and 2 thick coats. What a streaky polish, but raise your hand if you’re actually surprised. 😛

Here Comes Trouble is next, a teal blue polish. Shown here is 1 thin and 1 thick coats. Note: this is so much brighter in real life. Big surprise, it was freaking out my camera!

This is Temption, a really great coral color. Shown here is 2 regular coats. Also another one that is even brighter in real life; this also leans slightly more pink than orange than what you see here.

Last is Too Hot For You, a red polish that has a shimmer. Shown here is 2 regular coats, first topped by WNW matte top coat, then by WNW shine top coat.

The stand-outs in this collection to me, are Here Comes Trouble, and Temptation. Both are insanely bright and cheerful, and I can see them being summer staples for pedicures & manicures! The rest are okay, but not too unique or worth the trouble of trying to get them streak-free.

Finally, a comparison to some of the polishes from last year. Here is Cursed compared to A Clock Strikes Orange, both 2 coats. Cursed is on the pointer & ring fingers:

Next is Deception (3 coats) compared to Who Is Ultra Violet (2 coats). Deception on the pointer & ring fingers:

Last is Here Comes Trouble compared to Listening to Blue Reed, both two coats. Here Comes Trouble on the pointer & ring fingers:

What are your thoughts on these polishes? Will you be picking up any?

On a separate note: I apologize for not responding to your lovely comments like I usually do. I’ve been under the weather this week, as has my daughter, and my son is getting sick as well. We’re all kind of miserable! 🙂 As soon as I’m more able, I’ll be responding to comments. Thanks for hanging in there with me. 🙂 Until the next time,

Revlon Parfumerie Espresso & Balsam Fir

Hi everyone! How is your day going? Well, I must say that I’m quite ready for spring already! There comes a point in winter where a person is just “over it”, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, like this. haha! But it’s another day that I’m alive, my family is alive and well, and I really have nothing to complain about. Plus, I have to show you two polishes that were gifted to me from my new friend Autty! (Here is her blog, if you’re not already following!) She knew I was still searching for the last two Revlon Parfumerie polishes: Espresso and Balsam Fir; she found them and sent them to me!

First up, Revlon Parfumerie in Balsam Fir. This is 2 normal coats of polish, followed by OPI top coat. (The scent isn’t dulled by the top coat.) This has a slightly minty, forest needle smell. It’s not like a car freshener, which is what I was hoping it wasn’t!

Now Revlon Parfumerie in Espresso. This is also 2 normal coats of polish, followed by OPI top coat. I had a really hard time pinning this smell down, but it reminds me of breakfast time. The smell is like toast with coffee – if that makes any sense!

These are both great polishes – basic black and basic forest green, really, but both applied really nicely. If you’re looking for all the Revlon Parfumerie polishes, click this link and scroll through!

I’d love to hear what you think about these two polishes, so let me hear it in the comments. Until tomorrow,
