Hello!!!

Yay aren’t you glad I am finally posting some new nail swatches?

Thanks again for sticking around while I took some time off!

Today I’ve got the second half of Duri’s Paparazzi collection, this time for spring (the other part of this Paparazzi collection was for summer).

These colors are bright, vivid and very “spring-ish”, though I didn’t like them quite as much as the summer collection.

These are (almost) all what I would classify as shimmery metallics and the application was pretty great. I believe most were just two coats. A couple had very minor streaking, but not that bad.

Drama Queen

Drama Queen is a pale, lemon yellow color with gold shimmer.Yay another yellow that looks good on me whoo hoo! For a yellow this applied surprisingly well, only very slight streaking, and I think that was more due to the metallic finish rather than the color. This was two coats.

Hey there.

Yet another Monday to struggle through, let’s hope it goes FAST!

Today I’ve got Duri’s Paparazzi collection for summer 2010. I will be reviewing the spring Paparazzi collection tomorrow. I know I am doing these kind of backwards, but I am most excited about this one.

I’ve reviewed many Duri colors in the past and found that I like the vast majority of them. They have a lot of colors that have the ‘lit from within’ thing going on, and I love that.

The colors in this collection don’t seem like typical summer colors, but that’s fine with me because most of them are very unique and gorgeous!

Read on!

Tabloid Rumors

Tabloid Rumors is a steel grey with pink, yellow, green and blue shimmer. I thought this was going to be a plain old steel grey shimmer when I saw the bottle, but I was very pleased that it wasn’t. I think this is a really unique grey and I love it. This was two coats.

Afternoon/evening everyone!

Today I am starting a new series called “VV Top 5″, which will feature my top 5 favorite polishes by color and finish.

I thought for the month of December I would do holiday colors, and the first color that comes to mind when I think of Christmas is red. So here we have them!

These are my favorite 5 red’s that I actually own. Some of the pics were swatched awhile ago, so the pictures don’t all look totally consistent (sorry!).

They are in no particular order.

Morning ya’ll. Today I’ve got some of Duri’s new fall/winter 2009 colors from their Rags to Riches collection. This is a 12 piece collection that ranges from light pink to dark vampy red.

I don’t have that many Duri polishes, but the ones I do have I totally love. They do a MEAN “lit from within” and have some of my favorite ones. If you haven’t seen them, check out my post here about them.

The formula on Duri polish is really great. They are thin and easy to apply and I rarely have any issues. I do usually need three coats for the lighter ones, but that’s fine by me as I prefer as much opacity as possible. Check them out!

Penny Saved Penny Earned

Penny Saved Penny Earned is a very pretty dusty pink creme with a hint of lavender. I wasn’t too sure I would like this when I saw the bottle but on, it’s actually very flattering. It’s so close to my skin tone that it almost looks like a “nude” on me. It’s definitely got that professional and clean look about it. This was three coats.
