Revlon Chroma Chameleon is a new limited edition collection which features eight duo and multi-chrome metallic shades.

I had my eyes peeled for these for awhile and finally spotted these five at a Rite Aid near me. They should be at Walgreens/Rite Aid and CVS (and possibly Meijer and Harmon, which we don’t have in the Bay Area).

The three I didn’t get were Aquamarine, Gold and Cobalt.

The formula with these was decent, not perfect. Since they are metallic they tend to be a little brush-stroke-y. Most were just two coats but two I used three.

Tanzanite, Pink Quartz, Amethyst, Rose Gold and Topaz

Chanel Azuré and Bel-Argus Le Vernis are new limited edition shades in the summer 2013 L’Ete Papillon de Chanel collection. In fact there is also another shade called Lilus which is a coral creme.

I initially saw many swatches of these when they first came out and didn’t think they looked all that spectacular. However when I was at Nordstrom this past weekend and walked past them, I decided to stop and swatch for myself. I was fairly blown away by how gorgeous they were! It took me all of 1 minute to decide I needed them both in my collection!

The butter LONDON Bespoke Collection for summer 2013 features six new shades and I’ve got two of them for ya today.

This collection features a lot of metal-colored shades like pink-gold, bronze, copper, chrome, rust and a robin’s egg blue. The two I have (Champers and Bit Faker) both had a really great formula and were just two coats.

Let’s check them out a bit closer, shall we?

Zoya Irresistible for summer 2013 features six shimmery metallic shades for your nails.

If you are looking for some super summery bright shades that cover completely with just two coats, look no further! I wasn’t completely convinced these would be two-coaters at first because every one was a little thin with just one coat. But then after two coats they were all pretty perfect and opaque. They dry fairly quickly because of the metallic finish.

The NARS Pierre Hardy Nail Polish collection is new and was inspired by his summer 2013 shoe collection. Yep, he’s a shoe designer! I had no idea who he was until I saw the press release. Oops.

What is super cute about this collection is that the nail polishes come in a mini “shoe box” and as a pair. Inside are two complementary shades and also a dust bag (which his shoes also come with). Cute idea!

There are six pairs in all to choose from.

This is how they look inside with the dust bag snug in the middle.
