Good morning all!

Today I’ve got Butter London’s new fall 2009 collection called Fashionista’s Favourites. It’s made up of five new colors, and one particularly stunning green…

The formula on these is thick, as all Butter London polishes are. This can make them a little hard to work with. The key with these is to really make sure each coat is dry before you apply the next one or you will wind up with globs of polish at the tips, and cuticle drag.

One great thing about this collection is that it has the new bottle tops! YES they finally listened to our complaints and made the rectangle top so that you can pull it off, and use a “normal” round wand. Check it out below.

Whoo hoo!

Good Wednesday morning everyone!

Today I’ve got some more of the new China Glaze Glitters to show you. These are all super glittery and holographic, hope you like ‘em!

Nova

Nova is a silver holo glitter. This was three coats.

Hi all!

Today I’ve got a new collection from China Glaze called Khrome. This is a set of six metallic (or chrome) colors. One I actually showed you already in another post (Millennium).

The formula on these is most excellent. They are ALL one coaters! Also they aren’t as streaky as you might expect from a metallic. I didn’t have any issues, as long as the coat I applied was even and thin. Enjoy!

Millennium

Millennium was reviewed last week in another China Glaze post I did because I didn’t know at the time it was part of Khrome. It’s super, duper silver, like foil silver. It’s THE most silver polish I own!

EDIT: I was just told that the nails Megan Fox is wearing on the Cosmo cover below isn’t Dashing Diva Astor Place but rather Orly Mirror, Mirror. Sorry for the error!

Morning everyone!

Dashing Diva has come out with five new colors for fall in their Manhattan Collection line. I have three of them to show you today.

I love Dashing Diva, I have reviewed a lot of their polishes in the past, which you can see here, and find them to be extremely nice. Their colors are usually very original, the formula is fantastic and at $8.00 each, they are pretty reasonably priced as well.

Astor Place

Astor Place is a dove grey creme with a hint of lavender. This color is beyond amazing. You don’t think much of it in the bottle, but when it’s on, it’s totally unbelievably cool. This is on the verge of being mushroomy, which is probably why I like it. Hell, I was even sold on this color despite the fact that Megan Fox likes it and is wearing it on the October edition of Cosmo! This was three coats for maximum opacity.

Good morning! It’s officially Halloween month yahooooooo!

Per a couple people’s requests after my CND Colour Effects series last week, I have swatched all the effects I have by themselves over my bare nail so you can see how they look on their own. Some you will be able to really see and unfortunately some are so sheer that you can’t tell much of a difference between them. But as you can tell from my swatches last week, they are definitely all different when put  over a color. These are all just one coat, using more than one coat didn’t make much of a difference. Check them out!

Ice Blue Shimmer

Ice Blue Shimmer is one of the ones you can see really well over a bare nail. It’s an opalescent pale blue shimmer.
