Spoiled Nail Color is a line by Wet n Wild and is sold exclusively at CVS. There are 72 (!!) shades in this line out now, which is pretty great.

The colors and finishes go from cremes, to neons, to shimmers to glitters. There are nudes, blues, greens, blacks and everything in-between!

Today I have four of the shimmery shades and soon, some of the neons.

One thing I will say is that the brushes that come with these are weird and frequently wonky. They are cut at a strange angle and some of them had super long brush strands sticking out that I had to yank out. Not the easiest brushes to work with but then again, they’re only $1.99 each so…you get what you pay for in this case.

Color Club Blossoming is a spring 2012 collection that reflects the colors of budding flowers. It also includes a polish called Diamond Drops, meant to mimic the look of dewy rain drops on petals.

Aside from Diamond Drops, which is a silver holographic flake, the five shades are all creme finishes. I did have some minor issues with streakiness with a few of these and most took three coats to get completely even and covered.

Blushing Rose

Blushing Rose is a pale pink shade. Not quite a pastel, but close. It’s a really pretty shiny color, but not without some problems. It applied very streaky at first, and even with three coats there are some spots not completely covered as much as I would like.

If you haven’t yet heard by now, you have been living under the largest rock on the planet. China Glaze Capitol Colours is their latest 12-piece collection for spring, and of course, is a tribute to the upcoming movie The Hunger Games, which is based on a series of best-selling books from Suzanne Collins. The movie comes out in March ( I will be there with bells on!)

Let me say, if you have not read the three books in the series (The Hunger Games, Catching Fire and Mockingjay) RUN to the store and get them! I read them about a year ago and aside from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series, these are some of the best books I have read in years and years. Yes they are technically “young adult” but are not written in a juvenile or off-putting way for an adult. They are nothing at all like the Twilight series (which I get asked a lot). The story grabs you, sucks you in and is totally amazing. I died a little when I finished them, they were that good.

This collection of polishes includes twelve new colors with a variety of finishes. I did have a few issues with the formula of some of them, more on that below.

Have you heard? BB Couture has a new spring collection out that features twelve new colors! The regular “women’s” collection is called Girls on Tape and that’s what I’m featuring today.

The shades in Girls on Tape are all named after movies. These six colors are flecked with either small glitter sparkles or have a shimmer finish.

Nearly all of them were just two coats, though they seemed sheer at first. Nice formula, no streaking or weird problems. The one thing I did notice was for the almost all of the glitter ones, the glitter seemed to sink into the color, so it was more in the background hiding rather than up front. I prefer the glitter to sit on top of my polish rather than sink in that much. They are a little rough (not bad though) so you’ll need a nice top coat. But you knew that already didn’t you?

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.
