A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Fav’s Featuring: Pink

This is a re-post while I am on vacation. Enjoy!

VV Top Pink A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Happy Saturday!

Today I’ve got another one of my “Top 5″ posts that turned into a “Top 10″ post. icon smile A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink I think picking top 5 anything is kind of ridiculous at this point, I just have too many colors to choose from!

Even though it’s rainy, dreary and depressing in the Bay Area lately, I chose pink as my color of choice this time around. I just feel it’s a great spring color, and I needed some brightness in my day.

So without further ado, in no particular order, here are my favorite pinks (so far)! Oh and these have all been reviewed in the past.

China Glaze Sugar High A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

It’s bright, it’s cheery, it’s shiny, it’s China Glaze, and it happens to look fabulous with my skin tone!

Orly Pixy Stix A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Pixy Stix borders on being peach, but it’s still pink. This is another one that blew my socks off when I saw it on me, I love it!

Jessica Enchante A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Ahhhh here is the first of a few pinks in this list with that blue flash I love so much.

Illamasqua Obsess A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Obsess is SO bright but not neon, and it’s a great blue based pink, which are always my favs.

Diamond Cosmetics Hot Summer Pink A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink
Diamond Cosmetics Hot Summer Pink

You can’t deny this is fabulous, can you? It’s got a very subtle blue flash to it and the formula (and price) is spot on!

BB Couture Skipper A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Skipper is another newer pink fav of mine with the blue flash and creamy wonderful formula.

Zoya Kiki A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

This photo is old, horrible and Kiki deserves much better! I should re-take this. This color is so pretty in real life, and this pic washes it out, but trust me it rocks!

Diamond Cosmetics Gypsy Pink A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Mmmm a darker pink with some red in it but totally outstanding!

Rimmel Stop Traffic A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Another old pic that should be re-shot. Stop Traffic also has a great blue flash and it’s super inexpensive!

Orly Blushing Bud A Look Back: Vampy Varnish Favs Featuring: Pink

Blushing Bud is a bright, poppy pink creme that I really love.

Ok folks do you agree with my picks? What are your favorite pinks?

  • I have so few pinks in my collection! One favorite is OPI’s Your Villa or Mine?, which is a medium pink with gold shimmer. Another is Sally Hansen Beyond Perfect in Poetic Peony, which I think of as a Pepto Bismal pink.

    Blushing Bud is really cute.

    My favorites are hot fuchsias China Glaze B-Girlz and Zoya Gilda.

    The formula in my Sugar High has gone all weird and clumpy after about two years. What do you all think, should I just dump in thinner?

    I dont really have a pink that i have to say is a favorite, but looking at Pixy Styx I think that I have to have it! Also you photo of Sugar High is beautiful… I simply cannot wait to get to Ulta and Beauty Supply Plus, because now I need these as well as a couple of the blues that you posted the other day! :)

    Great picks! I think I need Pixy Stix. I’ve been looking for a good peachy-pink shade.

    My favorite pink is China Glaze Strawberry Fields. I can’t stop looking at my nails when I’m wearing it!

    I love them all, particularly first two and last one. I wear pink on my nails the majority of the time because it’s my favourite colour.

    My favourite pink that I have is RMK Holographic Blue Pink. I’m not usually keen on shimmery polishes but this one is just so pretty and bright!

  • Does the Rimmel Stop Traffic really take 60 seconds to dry?

  • Nat

    Orly’s Pixy Stix is amazing!!!!!!!!
