Navigate Her is from Essie’s Spring 2012 collection. It’s not quite as bright as it appears in these pics its more of a muted sage/pistachio color. I love this color and its perfect for spring but the formula COULD be better. It was really thick and annoying.
Royal Cloak is a deep blue based purple with silver flakies. The flakies don’t show up as much on the nail as they do in the bottle but its still pretty awesome. This is a great color for fall. I was also really impressed with the formula. In my past experiences with Revlon nail polishes, I found them to be really runny, but this was perfection. The pics below are two coats with a top coat of seche vite.
Both WTSAY and Mitzi are a bit darker than DIOE. DIOE has a lot more yellow, Mitzi has more green, and WTSAY is more of a pea green.
This is two coats of Revlon Raspberry Rapture, a bright berry creme, topped off with one coat of Nicole by OPI Love Your Life. The hearts in Love Your Life are sparse so you have to kind of fish them out and place them on the nail, but its definitely worth it. I put Revlon Sublime Strawberry on my accent nail. The scented Revlons smell just like their names but it really only lasts about a day.
Valentine’s Day Mani: Jelly Sandwich with OPI Do You Think I’m Tex-y and Wet n Wild Back Alley Deals
This was one coat of Do You Think I’m Tex-y, then one very light coat of Back Alley Deals then another coat of Do You Think I’m Tex-y and all topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.
I originally went into Icing to get some of their magnetic polishes and I just happened to see these and decided to get them too since I don’t have anything similar in my collection. My Date with a Royal is a dusty royal blue packed with silver shimmer. This is two coats with no top coat:
After Party is a multi-colored glitter of random shapes and sizes in a clear base. There’s orange, pink, green, blue, gold, and silver. The shape of the glitter kind of reminds me of shards of broken glass. After Party has the irregular shapes that flake polishes have with the sparkliness that you see in regular glitter. It dries a lit smoother than I expected it to, but it can be a hassle to remove. The foil method is gonna be your best bet. This polish is definitely in my top ten. The first pic below is one coat over My Date with a Royal and the rest are two with a coat of seche vite.
Lady Luck is a berry/magenta super sparkly holo packed glitter. It’s like the berry version of China Glaze Some Like it Haute. It’s gritty as hell just like most of the glitters similar to this. The good thing is its opaque in just two coats. It also dries matte so I did two coats of arched vite on top to help smooth it out.
Tweet Me is a shimmery buttercup yellow. It’s pretty sheer this is 3 coats and I still think it could use a fourth. Other than the sheerness the formula is pretty good though and I love the color.
