What’s shakin, bacon?

Today I am bringing you my top 10 favorite olive green polishes.

For those of you who have been reading my site for awhile, you know that olive green is probably my fav kind of color for polish. The weirder and more “gross” looking to the average person, the better for me!

Awhile back I did my top 5 greens post and knew I would need a separate one for olive green since I love so many of them.

All of these have been reviewed on here in the past, so these are not full reviews.

So here they are in no particular order. Oh and by the way, the photo for China Glaze Wagon Trail is actually by Lextard since I don’t have my swatched version on my site anymore and I can’t find the original pic!

Good morning!

Many of you have probably seen this a bazillion times already, but I sill wanted to show it. It’s Chanel’s new nail color called Illusion D’or, which just came out for summer. A lot of swatches I have seen were done over black so I decided to show it over something a little more interesting…greens!

Peep it.

Illusion D’or

Illusion D’or is a gold glittery color with iridescent gold and purple flake glitter. This is a color I kind of went back and forth on purchasing because I knew I would never wear it on it’s own. Kinda boring I think. BUT over other colors it looks spectacular! This was three coats.

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.

Happy Friday!!!

Yes this post is very late for me, but I am pretty sure you will like it.

I just received the much anticipated OPI Shrek Forever After collection today, and I had to show you!

For once I also included some comparison swatches. This won’t be a regular thing for me because A. I don’t have time and B. I don’t sort my polishes by color so it’s really hard to go through them all and find possible dupes. But I thought you might like to see them for this collex since many of you are eager to see these!

The formula on these was really pretty nice. They were a little streaky when applying but after a few seconds they evened out and leveled out nicely. I used three coats on all of these except one, which is noted below.

Peep out Shrek below!

What’s With The Cattitude?

What’s With The Cattitude? is a pale sky blue creme. It’s extremely flattering for my skin tone and I really liked it. Surprisingly I didn’t have very many blues to compare it to!
