China Glaze Art You Looking Tribal Kit Swatches


Hey guys! Sorry I know its been a while. I don't really have an excuse, I have just been super lazy. Basically all I have been doing is sleeping, eating, doing some nail art, and watching Smallville. But today I have some swatches for you of the Art You Looking Tribal kit from China Glaze. This kit contains 3 polishes from their 2015 summer collection called Desert Escape. The kit also came with a black striping polish but I didn't take any pictures with that.

China Glaze Rain Dance The Night Away:
Rain Dance The Night Away is a beautiful bright turquoise creme. This is my favorite of the kit. I really really love this polish. I can't express my love for this in words. In addition to the beautiful color that this polish is, the formula is also amazing. Shown below is two coats without top coat. 



China Glaze The Heat is On:
The Heat is On is a bright orangish red creme. I wouldn't really say that this is your typical red because I
think that there is a hint of orange in it. My pictures below are a little bit more orange that they are in real life. Shown is two coats without top coat. 



China Glaze What's She Dune:
What's She Dune is a sand colored nude creme. I really like this polish because I use nude in so many of my nail art designs. It also just looks good if you are trying for a more work appropriate manicure. The formula was great as usual for China Glaze. Shown below is two coats without top coat.

SinfulColors A Class Act Collection Swatches and Review

*This product was provided for my honest review. All of the opinions in this post are mine*


Hey guys! I hope you are all having a great week! Today I have 10 shades from the new SinfulColors Back to School collection called A Class Act! The collection has 27 shades in total. You can find SinfulColors at Walgreens and other mass retailers. The SinfulColors website is here if you want to check out the rest of the collection. They are only $1.99 each! A Class Act will be available for August & September 2015. 


SinfulColors RADient:
RADient is a vibrant pink with a matte finish. I liked this color a lot and I also liked how it dried so quickly. It wasn't super opaque but it was very buildable. Shown below is three coats without top coat. 



SinfulColors VIPeach:
VIPeach is a light yellow creme that dries matte. I really love this polish; it is so sunny and vibrant. The formula was perfect and dried fast because it is is matte. Shown below is 2 coats without top coat. 


 
SinfulColors Burst of Fresh Flair:
Burst of Fresh Flair is a iridescent lemon yellow polish. The shimmer isn't very visible unless you are in sunlight. I found it easier to layer it over another polish but it could be buildable, it would just a lot of coats. Shown below is two coats over VIPeach. 




SinfulColors Chalk It Up:
Chalk It Up is a light pistachio green that dries matte. This is my favorite of the collection! I think this color is just super adorable. The formula was perfect. Shown below is two coats without top coat. 



SinfulColors Summer S-Cool:
Summer S-Cool is a light blue. I think it looks more vibrant on the nail then in the bottle. I really like this shade. The formula was nice and easy. Shown below is two coats without top coat. 



SinfulColors Late Night Haute:
Late Night Haute is a jelly blue glitter topper with flackie and bar glitter. It also has very very small gold circles in it. It found that this isn't really buildable and opaque on its own. I tried four coats and still had a visible nail line. So I suggest layering it over a different polish. I really like this glitter combo and I think it's pretty unique. Shown below is two coats over Summer S-Cool. 




SinfulColors Why Not:
Why Not is a vibrant medium blue. I really love this color. The formula is good but pretty thick. The only real problem I had with this polish is that it stains, but you wear base coat you will be fine. Shown below is one coat without top coat. 



 SinfulColors Truth or Lavendare:
Truth or Lavendare is a lavender purple creme that tries matte. I like this color a lot but it isn't really that unique. The formula was really good! Shown is two coats without top coat. 



SinfulColors Night Owl:
Night Owl is a jelly light purple glitter topper with flackie and bar glitter. It is exactly like Late Night Haute but it is purple instead. The formulas are the same. Shown is two coats over Truth or Lavendare. 




SinfulColors Fig:
Fig is a plum color with pink shimmer in it. I liked this color a lot even though it's not unique. The formula was really good. Shown below is two coats without top coat. 


 
Overally I really like this collection. Let me know which one is your favorite in the comments below and have a great day!

X Formula Crafty Swatches

Hey guys! I have some tragic news. I broke my nail so I had to cut them all down. On my swatching hand. If you aren't into nails you are probably thinking that I'm crazy, but this is a huge deal. But good thing that I had a ton of posts ready already! I went to Sephora about a month ago and got some make up and a nail polish. That nail polish was X Formula Crafty and I have swatches below.

 X Formula Crafty

X Formula Crafty is a shimmery textured polish. It also is kind of multi chromey. I just don't know how to explain this but its magical. You probably shouldn't drive a car with this on because it is just way to distracting. The formula was surprisingly great. I say that because textured polish are typically impossible to apply but I had no troubles with this. Shown below is two coats without top coat.

O.P.I. Nail Polish Haul


So my local Sally Beauty Supply had a sale on some O.P.I. polishes. The whole clearance section of the store was also 50% off the red sticker price. So I got all of these for $2.25 a piece!! Needless to say I picked up a lot of them. Enjoy the swatches below!

My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours!
 
My Paprika is Hotter Than Yours is a hot coral color with some shimmer. I totally missed the shimmer until it dried because its barely there. I think this is a really great color for summer! Shown below is two coats 
 without top coat. (Its a little bit more red and shimmery in real life. This polish was really hard to capture!)


 
Suzi Has A Swede Tooth

Suzi Has A Swede Tooth is a beautiful light pink creme. I think this one is really delicate and pretty! Shown below is two coats without top coat. 


 
OY-Another Polish Joke!

OY-Another Polish Joke! is a behind beautiful shimmery gold topper. I say its a topper because its thin but can be built up. This is one of my favorite polishes of all time! Its so beautiful!! Shown is two coats over it over Sally Girl Canary.



OPI...Eurso Euro

OPI.. Eurso Euro is an indigo creme. This is really nice! It reminds me a lot of Essie Butler Please. Shown is two coats without top coat.



Incognito in Sausalito

Incognito in Sausalito is a dark navy creme. I really like this one but I may be biased because I tend to love all dark blues. Shown is two coats without top coat.



Vant To Bite My Neck?

Vant To Bite My Neck? is a dark purple creme. I really love this one as well! Shown is two coats without top coat.



Muir Muir On The Wall

Muir Muir On The Wall is probably my second favorite polish of this haul. It has a light jelly black polish with tons of purple and gold shimmer. This is perfection. Shown below is three coats without top coat.
