Revlon Edgy Elegance Collection Swatches & Review

Revlon Edgy Elegance Collection Revlon Edgy Elegance Collection Swatches & Review

Revlon Edgy Elegance is a new collection of eight shimmery pastel metallics.

The colors in this collection are:

  • Catty – Taupe
  • Girly – Lavender
  • Princess – Blue
  • Punk – Pale green
  • Fierce – Bright pink
  • Innocent – Pale pink
  • Downtown – Grey/silver
  • Aloof – White
The formula with these is pretty spectacular. They are thick and creamy and cover almost completely in one coat! I did use two on every swatch though for good measure. They dry super fast as well.
I picked up the coolest looking ones to me recently at Rite Aid for $4.79 each! Good deal. icon smile Revlon Edgy Elegance Collection Swatches & Review

Color Club Alter Ego Reveal Your Mystery Collection for Spring 2011 Swatches & Review

Color Club Reveal Your Mystery is the lighter and more subtle side of their 12 piece collection called Alter Ego.

Yesterday I showed you Keep It Undercover, which I think is definitely the stronger and more fun half.

The formula on these was a bit better in terms of thickness and stickiness. These flowed better and were nicer, though on the negative side, they were extremely sheer and didn’t build up as much as I hoped.

This collection comes with a milky white base coat, which is pretty sheer in itself, but I didn’t use it in these swatches. Maybe that would have helped with the streakiness though…

Incognito

Incognito is a super sheer nude. Basically it has barely any color, it just gives a very nude and shiny look to your nails. This was two coats.

Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics Nail Polish Summer 2010 Swatches & Review

Good morning!

Today I’ve got some fun new colors from Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics for spring/summer 2010. If you haven’t heard of Cheeky Monkey, check out my previous post here.

This is a collection of 4 new colors that are all really great, though very different from one another. They might not all be what you think of when you think “summer”.

Check them out below!

Tease

Tease is a pale grey creme with strong hints of lavender. That is exactly what makes this color so special, in my eyes. I have a lot of pale grey cremes, but nothing like this. This applied very nicely, no streaking or any problems. This was two coats.

Illamasqua Pastels Nail Varnish Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches & Review

Yep, it’s Tuesday. My second least favorite day of the week next to Monday. icon wink Illamasqua Pastels Nail Varnish Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches & Review

The much anticipated Pastels from Illamasqua for spring 2010 are here ladies & gents! I have two of the four to show you today.

Can I just say, I was worried about the formula. Like really worried. I thought for sure these were going to be super thick and streaky and hard to apply, like most pastels are. I was SO wrong! I kid you not when I say these applied like any of the most perfect polishes I have ever used, pastel color be damned! Another positive is they were totally opaque in just two coats! Peep ‘em!

Caress

Caress is a pale baby blue color. First off I must say I love this color, it’s one of my favorite kinds of blues. And secondly, I don’t have any other pastel color like it, so it’s unique as well!
