Welcome to the colorful world of China Glaze Electropop! Electropop is their new 12-piece color saturated collection for spring 2012.

Nearly all the colors in this collection are cremes with the exception of two shimmers and one glitter. But that’s not to say they’re boring.

The formula was really great with nearly all of them. They seemed to apply a bit sheer and I kept thinking I would need three coats, but nearly all were just perfect with two.

Revlon has some new Nail Enamels out in a large-ish display I discovered at Rite Aid. These are different from their other new ones out, which are (thank god) in newer shaped bottles! I will have a review of those shortly.

There seemed to be about 15 or more of these and the display I saw was picked pretty clean. I know there was a green one in there but none left for me, so I grabbed the ones that seemed interesting.

Ice Baby is the newest nail collection from Wet n Wild for holiday 2011. It’s limited edition and exclusive to Walgreens.

I know plenty of you have been on the lookout for this collection to no avail yet. But hang in there, hopefully you’ll find it soon!

This collection is comprised of eight new colors, all super glittery and sparkly (and not easy to remove, especially when you swatched them all at once).

They don’t come in a full sized bottle, but rather a smaller 0.34 oz bottle. But at $2.99, they’re a steal!

I used three coats for all of these because I wanted as much coverage and glittery fabulousness as I could muster. They are definitely thicker when you apply that many coats, but not overly hard to work with.

Hello!

Halloween is ‘nigh, what are you planning on wearing on your nails?

Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Nail Color collection this year is pretty awesome I think. I found three more colors I wanted to check out recently at Walgreens.

Without further ado…

Barielle’s new fall collection for 2010 is called Style in Argyle, and I’ve got your first peek at it. It features six warm, cozy colors that you can slip on as easily as a sweater.

If the idea of slipping on a sweater in mid-summer (which technically it still is) is repulsive, then lucky you! We here in the Bay Area have had the coldest summer in 40 years, so sweaters don’t sound too shabby right now!

First things first. The new logo! Barielle is sporting a new logo featuring a horse and man jumping over the “B” in the name. I really like this new look; I think it’s looks much more modern and hip than the old logo.

Second thing I noticed was the colors looked…bland? At first I wasn’t all that excited because they are all in the brown family (except one) and I thought they looked a little boring. But I was wrong.

Thirdly the formula was pretty good on these. Most of them applied really nicely in just two coats. They weren’t too thick or thin and I didn’t have any streaking or pooling issues. One was a little patchy but blame the user not the polish.

Here is how they describe the colors in the press release:

• Cashmere Or Loose Me – a soft brown with copper pearl
• Tight Knit – a purple brown creme
• Aura Angora – a royal gold creme
• Unraveled Rust – a burnt rust creme
• Wool You Marry Me? – a plum brown creme
• Cowl Of The Wild - a mushroom taupe creme

Cashmere Or Loose Me

Cashmere Or Loose Me is a light, cafe au lait brown with soft, subtle copper shimmer. I wasn’t that aware of the shimmer until I took this outside and saw it in the sun. Then I realized it was a lot prettier than my initial impression. I don’t have many browns this shade and certainly not with the copper shimmer, which makes it more unique. I think this is very flattering with my skin also. This was two coats.
