A couple OPI Spiderman swatches...

OPI recently released its latest collection inspired by the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man Movie.  I knew when I first saw the bottle pictures, that at least one of the shades had to be mine.  The collection has 6 new shades: 

• Call Me Gwen-ever:  Girlfriend, be sure to pick up when this urgent coral calls.
• Into The Night: His perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.
• Just Spotted The Lizard:  Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green.
• My Boyfriend Scales Walls: Limb new heights with this cityscape white.
• Number One Nemesis:  Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.
• Your Web Or Mine?:  The perfect pink for sticky situations.

I know that this is a limited edition collection, so I will need to make my decisions quickly. So far I have purchased two of the six. I knew that Just Spotted The Lizard: the yellow-green duochrome would my favorite from the collection.  The formula was runny and very sheer.  In these pictures, I used two coats. Next time, I want to try using an under-coating of a dark opaque polish, maybe black. But nonetheless, I'm loving the duochrome!

The second shade I purchased is, of course, the blue, Into The Night. If you follow my blog or my Twitter page you know that I absolutely love blue polish. 

Into The Night is a dark denim blue metallic shimmer. As with most metallics you need to be careful to avoid brush strokes. I also found the formula of this one to be runny. In these pictures, I used 2 coats, but would suggest 3 coats to have no VNL.

I'm thinking that Call me Gwen-ever will also be added to my collection.  Which of this collection have you tried?

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

Holo Haul...Layla Hologram...

Ever since missing out on the earlier holo polishes like China Glaze OMG and earlier OPI DS, I have been on a mission to find holo.  The Layla Cosmetics out of Milan, Italy just recently released additional colors to their holographic  polishes.  This time I had to get my hands on some.  What made it even easier was that Ulta has started carrying the line also.

So I quickly placed an order and they arrived today. Of course I had to share them with you.  I picked out the Coral Glam, Retro Pink, Ultra Violet, Mermaid Spell and Ocean Rush...

These are just GORGEOUS!!!  I can't wait to wear them in full manicures.  Have you tried any holos.

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

NOTD: China Glaze Fast Track

This has been the season of brights and neons and I felt the need to cleanse my palette, so I pulled out one of my untrieds. Today I am quickly showing you China Glaze Fast Track from the recent "Colours From The Capitol” Hunger Games Collection.  I have picked up a few from this collection but haven't gotten to wearing them all.  This color is a warm beige with gold fleckie shimmer.  While I have seen other shades that remind me of this, I really have not seen any true dupes.  China Glaze Fast Track is much lighter the China Glaze Ingrid, similar (same family but not dupes) to Essence Irreplaceable, Orly Nite Owl (silver shimmer) and Butter London All Hail The Queen (Silver shimmer).  In these pictures I am wearing 2 coats, but I would really suggest 3 coats for a true bottle color.

 

 

When you feel the need to cleanse your palette, what's your favorite "Go-To" shade?

Review:

• Opacity: pictured is 2 coats but for no VNL I would suggest 3 coats.
• Collection: 2012  Capitol Colours
• Bottle:14 mL – 0.5 Fl oz.
• Brush:Standard narrow brush
• Price: China Glaze - Reg. $5.99 but can be often found on sale at Sally and other e-tailers.
• Application: I didn't experience any difficulty with the application of Fast Track, not too thick or runny.  

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.

Love My Face...You Go Girl!!!

Most of us that think back, can probably remember Love My Nails nail polish. Well this same company that was probably part of our early childhood makeup journey, also manufactures Pure Ice, and Bon Bon beauty products.  Anyway, the Love My...franchise recently introduced from the Love My Face line, a new set of Face, Cheek, and Face compacts.  These compacts provide "All-Over color for then Face, Cheek and Eye."  While I tend to lean more toward shimmer blushes and bronzer, the matte set  in "You Go Girl" provides a natural color to the cheek.  There are 4 sets to be released, each costing on average, $5.00 each.  They are: 

• A La Natural
• You Go Girl
• You Give Me Fever
• Sultry In Brown

I received the You Go Girl compact. There are shades of rosey-pink, bronzey-brown, and champagne; all of which give a matte mauvey-pink color. It reminds me of several of the other brands that have a mosaic type compact. But at a much smaller price. These compact should be easily found wherever Love My...products are sold; as well as the on the BariCosmetics website...baricosmetics.com

Dependent on your skin-tone, these compacts can be used to highlight, contour and/or provide color to your cheeks.  They can also be used as an eye color.  For me, with a NW43 skin tone, the "You Go Girl" compact provides a rosey, natural warmth.  

If you get a chance to try any of these compacts, please let me know what you think.

Grace, Peace, & Blessings.
