Sinful Colors Holiday 2011 Nail Polish Collection Swatches

I was recently sent the Sinful Colors Holiday 2011 Collection. Sinful Colors is one of my favorite nail polish brands because not only are the polishes great quality, they're only $2 at the drugstore! They have a huge range of colors at a very affordable price.

 

Sinful Colors Holiday 2011 Collection

 

Out of this World- This color is described as "a perfect silver with swirls of glimmer". This is a sheer, silvery color that has tiny hints of sparkle. This was three coats.

 

Sugar Sugar- This shade is "a candy cane, red hot tint". A red is a great classic in anyone's nail polish collection. This one is great for the holidays and all year round. This was two coats.

 

Lady Chance- "An emerald with depth and allure". The swatch came out a little dark in the picture but this is the perfect Christmas tree color. The formula was great, 2 coats.

 

Midnight blue- "A bold, bright twist on navy". While this color is gorgeous, the formula of this polish was disappointing. It was thin and watery and took three coats to even out.

 

Daddy's Girl- "A deep purple with a drizzle of shimmer and glitter". This was another iffy formula. This polish is a jelly finish so it was very sheer and thick, making it hard to work with. This was four coats.

 

Fashionista- "A glitter- laden pewter". This is a gorgeous silver glitter nail art polish. I layered it over Midnight Blue for a bit of sparkle on the tips.

 

Flower Girl- "A bronzy gold with tons of sparkle". This nail art polish has an amazing formula! It was smooth and pigmented. The brush made it easy to make a french tip line.

What do you think of the Sinful Colors Holiday 2011 Collection? Will you be picking any of these up?

GASP! Urban Decay Naked Palette 2!!

I have been IN LOVE with the Urban Decay Naked Palette since it released! I remember ordering it that day and haven't looked back since. It is a wonderful palette for neutral lovers and I find myself reaching for it quite often. I recently stumbled upon some very exciting information: there will be a Naked Palette 2!!

Swoon!
The colors are: Foxy, Half Baked, Bootycall, Chopper, Tease, Snakebite, Suspect, Pistol, Verve, YDK, Busted, Blackout

This photo and information is from the blog Pinch of Pretty. Please check out her post, she has a comparison picture of the two palettes! 

This palette looks like it comes with a mini gloss and a double sided brush. At first glance it looks a little similar to its predecessor but I am anxious to see swatches/reviews!

According to Urban Decay's twitter, the palette comes out Thursday, December 1st!

Will you be getting the Urban Decay Naked Palette 2? Do you love the original Urban Decay Naked Palette as much as I do?

Dr.'s REMEDY Fall Fever Collection Swatches

I was recently sent the Dr.'s REMEDY Fall Fever Collection. I have done reviews on the Dr.'s REMEDY polishes before on this blog. These polishes are formulated to benefit your nails with Tea Tree Oil and vitamins.  The colors chosen for their Fall Fever collection are perfect for this time of year!

Left to right: Balance, Defense, Noble

Balance- This color is described as a brick red. It's a nice, classic red. This was opaque in two coats.

Defense- This is described as a deep red. It's a deep, wine color that's perfect for fall. This was great in two coats.

Noble- This is a classic navy. Navy seems to big this fall and this one is a true navy. The formula on this one was amazing, opaque in one coat.

You can purchase Dr.'s REMEDY nail polishes on www.remedynails.com for $17. While they are more expensive than typical nail polishes, they have the added ingredients to help strengthen and condition your nails.

Have you ever tried the Dr.'s REMEDY nail polishes? Will you be checking them out?

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?

MAC Posh Paradise Nubile and Genuine Treasures Paint Pot Swatches

MAC released a collection of new paint pots, mattenes, and other items. I was intrigued by the paint pots since I love using them as a base! The collection has a gorgeous selection of colors overall. I got two of them: Nubile and Genuine Treasures.

left to right: Genuine Treasures, Nubile

MAC Nubile Paint Pot- A beige-y peach color with very minimal shimmer.

MAC Genuine Treasures Paint Pot- A bronze shade with gold glittery particles.

Swatches: (left to right) Genuine Treasures, Nubile

-Genuine Treasures comes on sheerer than any of the shades, I was disappointed to see it has some glitter. I talked to the MA at my tore, who was wearing it, and it looked gorgeous on her! She said there was no fallout so I'm hoping it will work well as a smokey bronze base.

-Nubile is a gorgeous base color. It would work great on it's own or under neutral lid colors. It has a bit of shimmer to it so it brightens the eyes, definitely a great shade for a minimal eye look when worn alone!

Swatches: (left to right) MAC Grain Eyeshadow, MAC Nubile Paint Pot

When I was swatching Nubile in store, I thought it would be too similar to MAC's Grain eyeshadow. I am happy to report that while they are similar, they are not at all the same color. As you can see, Nubile is slightly darker and looks more pink in comparison. I think they will be great paired together!

What do you think of the MAC Posh Paradise collection? Do you love the paint pots as much as I do? Did you pick anything up?

According to Nouveau Cheap, there seems to be a Deborah Lippmann dupe in this collection!

Revlon Expressionists Collection Display

One new product in the collection is the Revlon Diamond Lust shadows, which seems to be shadows with glitter. With the right base, these shadows can give a ton of sparkle to your look!

Revlon Diamond Lust shadows

This collection also features new polishes, including the Deborah Lippmann dupe! I purchased a sandy neutral color (back, far right) that I will post a swatch of in a few days.

Revlon Ultimate Liquid Lipsticks- These look really interesting! A gloss that lasts like a lipstick sounds so cool, and there is a wide variety of colors for everyone to choose from.

Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick- From the colors, it looks like some of the lipsticks might correspond to the liquid lipsticks (such as the dark purple!)

There is also a new product from Revlon, the Bordeaux in the Snow Lip Gloss Palette.

The display also features information about the collection, including a picture of Gucci Westman and describes the two new products: the Diamond Lust shadows and the Lipgloss Palette.

Have you spotted the Revlon Expressionists Collection near you yet? What do you think of it? Will you be picking anything up from this collection?

MAC Me Over Haul (Swatches and Comparisons)

MAC recently released the MAC Me Over collection. If you know anything about my taste in makeup, you can tell that I was all over this mostly neutral collection. I made a post about this collection with info and a wishlist (click here for that post) and am happy to say I got a decent amount of products without going overboard and got things that I already love. Here is my haul video of what I got and swatches and comparisons are below!

Revlon Masquerade Collection (Pictures and Midnight Haze Swatch)

I recently spotted an exciting Revlon collection! Revlon's Masquerade Collection contains 8 polishes that I think would look great for Fall and the transition months from Summer! One of the shades really stood out to me and I had to get it (along with another bottle for a future YouTube giveaway!). I tried to Google info about the collection but found practically nothing on it. I hope this post helps you guys that might be on the lookout for new Fall polish colors or are looking for information on the collection as I was.

Revlon Masquerade Collection Display

Golden Charm- A golden, pewter color.

Devil's Lure- A deep wine/plum shade.

Royal Cloak- This one is actually darker than in the picture, it's a dark purple.

Devil's Candy- A gorgeous red.

Midnight Haze- I was instantly drawn to this one as a great Fall color! It's a steel color with shimmer.

Alluring Amber- Mid-tone orange

Phantom Angel- Basic white, it looks like it's glowing in the picture lol!

Jaded Night- A green/teal shade.

As you can probably guess, the one I purchased was Midnight Haze.

Revlon's Midnight Haze

This polish is a gorgeous deep grey/steel color and will be perfect for the colder months. It also has some shimmer to it. The polish looked so unique and multidimensional!
