Essence: Modern Romance

This is a lovely light baby pink with a small amount of shimmer which is only able to be seen in direct light. It takes about three coats to be opaque and there tends to be a bit of extra thickness because of this. It can chip easily because it isn't necessarily the best brand of polish. But with a top coat, which I have not been using for this swatch experiment that could easily be remedied.

Nice spring colour even if the formula isn't my favourite. 

Stay polished.

L'Oreal: Drama Queen

This polish is, as the name suggests very dramatic. I bought this polish back in 9th grade, which was albeit quite a while ago, when I dyed a strip if my hair this exact shade of bright and vibrant colour. After going to the salon I went to the drug store and decided this was the perfect matching polish. And while I may not want to think about that hairdo this is certainly a nice bright nostalgic polish not to be forgotten. 

Beautiful and bright, a definite drama queen. 

Stay polished!

Rimmel: Violet Metal

For the lack of attention that I give this polish it is a surprisingly nice deep metallic purple. It has a pretty good formula and even though it takes quite a bit of work to not have the nail show through this is a very pretty shade, especially due to the fact that I don't have very many purple polishes in comparison to the other polishes in my stash. 

This lovely purple shows some blue when the light catches I and it definitely surprised me with how great it looks on the nail. 

Until next time, stay polished

L'Oreal: Rendezvous

This is a lovely vampy red polish that I love very much. It is about 6 years old and still going strong. It is a nice colour, a two coater and doesn't have much chip wear with three days of wear. Not much to say about this, seems like quite a solida polish to me and I enjoy wearing it. 

Here's to vampy reds everywhere! Stay Polished!

Sally Hansen: White On

This is the only pure white non-striping polish that I own, and I like this polish quite a lot. It is quite a thick polish but the formula is nice, I am always a fan of the extreme wear line by Sally Hansen. It does not chip a whole lot and although it makes the natural ridges on my nails quite noticeable I like it and white nail polishes I'm general. 

I must say I love the look of the all white nail! Stay Polished

LA Colors: Hot Blooded

This is a nice deep vibrant cherry red, and while the formula is not the best and it can be thinner than some of my other similar reds, it isn't as poor of a formula as I would have expected from this brand. I tend to have a lot of reds of a similar shades and while it does have a decent formula and a fun name it isn't anything new or unique to my collection. 

Overall, this is a decent polish, aside from the fact that it dries a bit thickly and can take a bit of work. 

Stay Polished

Chika: Yoghurt

This light pink jelly polish is extremely thin and comes with no name except a sticker saying yoghurt. So for the sake of this swatch, let's call it yoghurt. While I don't dislike jellys in general, this polish itself is quite unsatisfactory. The polish began peeling quite easily and it was a stretch to make it to the third day of wear. These swatches have 3-4 coats with as you can see, absolutely no coverage. Take a look for yourself:

So here's to better jelly polishes and stay polished

NYX: Perfect Grey

This colour by NYX is truly a perfect grey. The formula is pretty nice and only took two coats to apply perfectly and went on quite well and evenly. This polish was a gift and therefore the only NYX polish I have ever used, I've never seen them anywhere before, but it is a gorgeous grey colour and for someone as obsessed with grey as I am it is an absolute dream!

This application was two even coats and it was impressive enough for me to do my toes to match! 

Until next time, Stay Polished
