Guten Morgen! That’s good morning in German. I am going to try and throw in a phrase in another language in some posts from time to time. Why you ask? Why not I say!

Now that we’ve gotten the language lesson of the day out of the way, I will get to the matter at hand.

Eyeko has a new collection out which includes six colors. The bottle shape is even different and dare I say better? Don’t get me wrong, I liked the other shape also, but the bottle neck was SO wide it was hard to keep the polish from globbing all over the place.

The formula on these is definitely better than the last six I reviewed here. Having said that, they still need to work out some issues with their light colors. The light ones tend to be really streaky and thick still. The darker ones though apply like a dream and are super opaque in just one or two coats. Peep ‘em out!

Nude

Nude is a peachy nude color with subtle shimmer. This was really thick and it got a little globbed up on the tip of my middle finger. The color is pretty enough, but awful on my skin! This was three coats.

Happy Friday!

One day until Halloween! I am excited about our “haunted garage” we’re doing this year. I haven’t yet done a trial run of my makeup though, so I’m kinda nervous it’s going to turn out like crap. Oh well, at least it will be dark

Today I’ve got the Sinful Colors Halloween collection for 2009. Well I have all except the basic black one, because we all know what black looks like by now.

I have only reviewed two Sinful Colors polishes in the past because I had a horrible experience once. About a year ago I tried out the San Francisco color, and used CND’s Stickey base coat and then either Seche Vite or Poshe top coat. The polish turned sticky, weird, and never, ever dried! I mean not at all. It was so bizarre! That combo did not work, so I never really tried any of their stuff since then. But I saw these, and had to get ‘em. Peep ‘em out!

Let Me Go

Let Me Go is a very pale blue/pink/lavender/green opalescent pearl polish. I thought this was going to be super, duper cool when I saw it in the bottle, but it’ so sheer it’s just kinda meh for me. This was three coats.

Good morning! Halloween is only two days away, do you know what you will be yet?

Milani released a collection for Halloween this year called Black Magic. It’s six super cool glittery colors, but sadly, I only have five. I hunted down the 6th a few places, but no one had it. So I am missing Whimsical (a blackened purple glitter) in this review, sorry!

This is my first ever experience with Milani, and I am actually very pleased with the formula. These are pretty thin and watery, but build up nicely after three coats. Even though they are thin, they don’t run all over, so where you put them is where they stay. Nothing worse than runny polish, argh!

I think I always stayed away from Milani in the past because the bottles, in my opinion, are hideous. They are soooo early 80′s to me with the gold lettering and the font, and I am normally very drawn to aesthetically pleasing packaging. BUT these colors were so cool looking I got them anyway, and I’m happy. Check them out.

Spellbinding

Spellbinding is a black with red glitter. I love black with red glitter and this is one of the best ones I’ve seen recently.

Good afternoon!

Jessica Cosmetics has a really great new winter 2009 collection called Baby It’s Cold Outside. It consists of four new colors, all total hits in my book.

The formula is pretty great on these. Not too thick, not too thin, just right. They were all three coaters for maximum opacity, but that’s ok with me. Take a look-see!

Frost At All Cost

Frost At All Cost is a subdued dark teal with very slight shimmer. This one leans towards the blue side of teal and I LOVE it. Totally gorgeous and unique to me.

Hey there everyone!

Hope you had a wonderful weekend. I had so much fun on Saturday night. I went to the Pirates of Emerson’s Haunted Fields. It’s in a empty field and they have 6 different themed haunted houses. Very cool, and it actually was scary!

Sephora by OPI has a few new colors out and I have three of them to show you. I apologize in advance for the lack of shimmer in the pics. Turned out to be a pretty grey and dreary weekend, weather-wise, so of course the pics don’t look as nice as normal. I hate the lighting this time of year!!

Worth My Weight

Worth My Weight is a cool gold with loads of regular small gold and holographic glitter. This one is as chunky as it looks, but it’s so awesome. If you use a nice thick top coat, that will take away the rough surface. This was two coats.
