Sephora Glitter Nail Polish

So remember last week I showed you some metallic nail polish from Sephora? Well today I am showing you the three glitter polishes I got. Overall I was not at all impressed with these. The polish was thick and stringy and it’s so hard to work with mini brushes, especially when the polish is gloopy. A couple of the colors were ok, but nothing to write home about for me. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Kiss My Face Giveaway!

I have a REALLY cool giveaway for one lucky person (sorry, US residents only)! Kiss My Face has generously provided me with a TON of products for me to try and a set for me to give away!


Background:

Kiss My Face started 25 years ago by two young guys living on an organic farm. They decided to create an organic beauty product and so they created a huge bar of soap created with olive oil from Greece. They brought the soap to New York City to sell and got a great response from retailers, who bought up everything they had. So they decided to launch a company called Kiss Organics and it was the very first line of facial care products created with organic ingredients. They don’t test on animals, they don’t use animals ingredients, they don’t use artificial colors or unnecessary chemicals.

Zoya La-Di-Da Collection Summer 2009

The second collection Zoya has for summer 2009 is called La-Di-Da. These are cremes and four of them in particular are neons (though they call them Ultra Brights). Pics taken in sun/clouds with no top coat.

So as you know neons are notoriously hard to get true pictures of. Pippa is brighter than this pic but its not as screaming yellow as some. The yellow of this one is really nice and sunny, almost lemony. This is one yellow I can wear, yay! This was streaky the first two coats but mostly evened out after the third.

Zoya Ooh-La-La Collection Summer 2009

Zoya has two new collections out for summer 2009 and today I am showing you the metallic collection called Ooh-La-La. I have been eagerly anticipating the arrival of these beauties and as soon as they came I swatched them even though the sun was only peeking out here and there. So pics taken in sun/clouds with no top coat.

Ginessa is a truly cool silvery white polish that is metallic looking but also filled with little sparkles. I am not usually a fan of metallic silver or white but this was extra special because of the sparkle. The application was very nice, though I used three coats to get full opacity (which I generally do with most polishes anyway).
