Morgan Taylor Nail Lacquer is a salon brand that hasn’t been spotted on my radar until now. The brand launched during the International Salon & Spa Expo Long Beach this year and can be found at CosmoProf (from what I was told….I haven’t been so I can’t confirm). They had a really impressive selection of colors and finished. Since they are a salon brand it may take some work getting Read More ...
These unique shades of high-quality sheer color are quick drying and long lasting. Manufactured in the USA. Cruelty free, DBP and toluene free. Oh yes baby! American Apparel decided to release an entire collection of jelly finish (or sheer as they would like to call it) nail colors in my honor. Well not really in my honor, but it feels like it. With AA being the LA brand that they Read More ...
Divine Swine: Clear base with pink toned purple glitter and large silver hex glitter. The formulas for the glitters in this collection were all over the place…some only requiring 2 coats and others 3. 3 coats. Excuse Moi!: Jelly pink base with silver micro glitter, pink shimmer, and small multi hued hex glitter (following the same color trend as “Rainbow Connection”). I love this color! It’s fun without being Read More ...
Listen to Your Momager! – This vivid royal blue shimmer is stunning. I’m normally not a fan of royal blue since it can look a little ‘hood at times but because of the jelly texture and the way the blue shimmer floats in the polish it makes it very glam-y. 3 coats. Wear Something Spar-Kylie – Rosy pink base choked full of rosy pink glitter. It’s cute a mature Read More ...
See dolls, bad nail polish can happen to good brands…assuming Urban Outfitters hasn’t ticked you off to no return after their Navajo Indian collection fiasco. Urban Decay “Bar Stool” was supposed to be a cool dove blue-toned gray creme, but fell short in most areas. It turned out to be of a jelly and required 3 coats. I don’t see the purpose of creating a color like this in a Read More ...
Not much to say here. This jelly blood red is shoo shexy, I just may wear it for a couple weeks. I initially did two coats followed by my topcoat but the color wasn’t deep enough and too warm and cherry red. The next day I added a 3rd coat followed by my topcoat and it was perfect. Nabi Cosmetics is based here in Los Angeles, California and I usually Read More ...
Nabi Cosmetics is based here in Los Angeles, California and I usually find their products in swap meets and local beauty supply stores. Nabi offers 3 types of nail lacquers; Nabi I their new thicker formula (which I love and it isn’t too thick but takes longer to dry even with my beloved Poshe Topcoat), Nabi II their most commonly known line (the formula is okay but I hate the Read More ...
Congeniality Is My Middle Name – Deep fuchsia wine berry jelly base with hot pink and purple micro shimmer. This color will look great during late summer and autumn. The depth and brightness makes it great for both seasons. This color looks a lot more berry in person. It’s My Year – Apparently OPI Rally Pretty Pink has an older much hotter sister! I’ve dubbed this duty dusty plum jelly Read More ...
One of my many pet peeves is accidentally purchasing used/ swatched nail polish and seeing nail polish swatched all over store displays (here’s looking at you Wal-mart). Outside of the obvious, this bothers me so much because it interferes with the integrity of the nail polish. Once air comes in contact with the polish it starts to thicken and sometimes you’ll notice slight changes in the color. This is going Read More ...
Whenever I’m with my best friend, we end up on some type of adventure. Now that I think about it, she was present during my day of “Misadventures of MAC” and the weekend we had to go to 3 theaters to see Jumping the Broom. Something as simple as finding the right foundation or catching a movie can turn into something blog worthy. The other night I went with her Read More ...
