Sally Hansen Bronze Ablaze (Review and Swatch)

Since I have a huge nail polish collection, it is rare for me to find one that is unique to everything I have to my collection. Sally Hansen Bronze Ablaze is one of those nail polishes. I had heard about it when Nouveau Cheap posted about it (check out her post!) and saw how gorgeous it was. Bronze Ablaze is a bronze with gold and amber shimmer to it. The shimmer is so fine that it is like a glow. The formula is very smooth and is opaque in two coats. I believe this polish is limited edition so I highly recommend that if you see it, you pick it up!

Do you own Sally Hansen Bronze Ablaze? What do you think of it? Will you be picking it up?

Essie Cute As A Button vs. Essie Peach Daiquiri (Coral Comparison)

Even though Fall has come, I am still loving the summer corals. I have two Essie corals in my collection that are  gorgeous yet similar. I thought I would do a comparison if any of you were interested in both!

Swatches:

Index and Ring Fingers: Essie Cute As A Button

Middle and Pinky Fingers: Essie Peach Daiquiri 

Essie Peach Daiquiri  is darker and has more orange tones to it. Essie Cute As A Button is about a shade lighter and has more of a peach tone. They are similar but I think if you are a coral lover, you can justify both!

Are you a coral nail polish lover? Do you have Essie Cute As A Button or Essie Peach Daiquiri? What do you think of them?

Butter London All Hail The Queen vs. Color Club Love 'Em/ Leave 'Em Comparison

I have been hearing a lot of buzz about Butter London's All Hail The Queen and how gorgeous it is. I had also read that Color Club Love 'Em/ Leave 'Em might be a dupe for it. Not wanting to pay the money for the Butter London (but admitting to myself I may buy it eventually), I bought the Color Club on Ebay.

Index and Ring Finger: Butter London All Hail The Queen

Middle and Pinkie Finger: Color Club Love 'Em/ Leave 'Em 

I would not say these are dupe of each other, but if you like one you will like the other. Butter London All Hail The Queen is more of a taupe-y brown with subtle holographic microshimmer. Color Club Love 'Em/ Leave 'Em is a copper-y brown with more obvious holographic shimmer.

Do you have Butter London All Hail The Queen or Color Club Love 'Em/ Leave 'Em? What do you think of them?

Revlon Fierce Nail Polish (Review & Swatch)

The other polish I bought from the Edgy Elegance is Fierce. Both this and Princess drew me in with the addition of silver shimmer, which gives more depth. This, like Princess, applied like a dream with two coats. Fierce is a purple-y magenta with silver shimmer running through it.

Revlon Fierce

I am very impressed with Revlon collections lately, especially the polishes!

How do you like Revlon nail polishes? Did you get anything from the Edgy Elegance collection?

Revlon Princess Nail Polish (Review and Swatch)

I recently spotted a Revlon display for their new collection, Edgy Elegance. For reference, this is the one with Halle Berry. I believe she is actually wearing Princess in the promo picture! I picked up two of the polishes from this collection, one of which is Princess.

Princess is a metallic blue with silver shimmer. The formula is AMAZING. This picture is one coat and it was perfect. The silver shimmer adds a really nice sparkle to the polish and doesn't remove like a glitter polish (added bonus!)

What do you think of the Revlon Princess nail polish? Did you pick anything up from the Revlon Edgy Elegance Collection?

Dr.'s REMEDY Hot Hot Hot Summer Shades Collection (Review and Swatches)

I was recently sent the Dr's REMEDY Hot Hot Hot Summer Shades collection. If that brand sounds familiar, I reviewed their Winter collection here. The premise behind the brand is that they have "clean, hypo-allergenic, anti-fungal ingredients" and are meant to be beneficial for your nails. Their polishes have a smooth formula overall and have Tea Tree Oil, Vitamins and Wheat Protein in them. This summer collection includes 5 gorgeous shades PERFECT for summer. 

left to right: Nurture, Glee, Tranquil, Bold, Lovely

Nurture- This color is described as a nude pink and I would have to agree. It's a great nude for those of you obsessed with the nude polish trend for spring and summer! This is on the sheer side and was 3 coats.

Glee- This is a gorgeous champagney-gold. It's not a typical "yellow gold" type of color but is more of a champagne. This took 3 coats.

Tranquil- It is described as tangerine and that's one of the first things I thought of when I first saw it! It has a great brightness for summer and is a nice bold color. This was 3 coats.

Bold- I had to include a picture of just the bottle, look at it! It's so gorgeous!! It's like looking in a pool =]

Bold is described as a baby blue, but it has so much more depth than that! It's like an electric light blue. It's a truly beautiful color and my favorite from the whole collection. It also has a great formula, this was 2 coats.

On a little side note, I think the names of this and Tranquil should have been switched. Tranquil is more bold and Bold is more tranquil lol!

Lovely- this is described as a lavender, I think it's like a deep grey toned purple. This would be nicer in the fall/winter months for me but I know there are people that love wearing dark colors even in the summer. This applied nicely and took 2 coats.

This collection has a little bit of everything; nudes, bolds, darks. I think a lot of people can find something they like from this collection! My favorite would have to be Bold, for sure. I can't get over it's depth and stunning electricity.  Also, the formula has great ingredients to helps improve the strength of your nails, a great added bonus!
