Too Long

Holy Crap I can't believe that I haven't posted on here since May of 2012 that's a couple months short of over two years.

Not sure why I stopped posting because I certainly haven't stopped doing my nails and my nail polish collection has definitely gotten out of hand.

I'll make my first post back with some quick looks I have done recently.

Regular posts to follow.

CND - Desert Suede


Hey! Hey!

I got something simple but fabulous today from CND Desert Suede! The formula is great and opaque in two regular coats or 1 thick coat. What I especially love about CND polishes is that the sticker on the bottom tells you two very important things a) whether the shade is a warm shade or not and b) whether it's opaque, shimmer, or whatnot. I think that's great when shopping in stores because it's makes selection very easy especially if you have a specific look in mind. Enjoy!

RGB - Haze

Hey! Hey!

Today I have RGB Haze to show you guys! It's a nice color and formula was nice and I didn't have any real problems with it. Could be opaque with one thick coat or two regular coats (which is what I did). It's not the most unique color in the world but it's still pretty and a very feminine color. Enjoy!

RGB - Camp

Hey! Hey!

Another RGB swatch this time in Camp. I am always a fan of campy, mossy greens. This formula was indeed difficult to work with but I learned my lesson with Punch and I thinned out the formula long before I swatched and it was still a little on the thick side. One good thing about the formula and the way it is is that you can do one good coat and you can go out the door! Overall I do like the color and the opaqueness but but otherwise the formula is lacking.

RGB - Punch


Hey! Hey!

I have another RGB swatch today! And boy am I sorely disappointed! I love the color, I think it's perfect for spring - although right now where I live the wind hasn't stopped for the past two days sounds like a hurricane out there (although it's not). However the formula was INSANELY difficult to work with. I tried one round of swatching and it was TERRIBLE (yes worse then this!) and had to take it off. I thinned out the polish a LOT and then did another round. Let's just say I've never before used my corrector pen SO MUCH to clean up because the only way I could get a smooth surface was by 'painting' and then 'drawing in the outline'. Sounds weird you say? Well that's because it's ridiculous!

I'd never go through all this trouble probably ever again. It's really just a shame because I do LOVE the color, it's very feminine, soft and gentle, and in some lights looks just a BIT more nude then pink. I'll either just put it away or maybe thin it out some more I really have no clue at the moment.

Anywho! Hope you enjoy the swatches!

Nars - Mato Grosso

Hey! Hey!

Here is another Nars polish! This time in the GORGEOUS color Mato Grosso which is actually a Brazilian state name! I think that's pretty cool. I find that sometimes nail polishes have weird names just for the sake of it or for the sake of being unique. ANYWHO!

As  I've expressed before I love the Nars formula and have yet to come across one of their polishes that I don't like the formula. I love chocolate browns and I really love this color! When I look down at my nails almost makes me wanna bite them! (creepy? sorry!) But it's just such a rich, deep, beautiful brown. Cannot go wrong!
