essie treat love & color metallic shades

The essie treat love & color metallic shades are coming out this month and I’ve got swatches for ya!

The treat love & color line is a new-ish line for essie. They have nail strengthening and treating ingredients and you don’t have to wear a base coat or top coat with them. There are now 40 shades in all in this line.

You probably know metallic nail shades can be prone to showing brush strokes. I didn’t have a huge issue with that but a few of the shades still look slightly brush stroke-y. But remember, these are super up-close photos so in real life they don’t look bad. Each one covered with two coats.

essie serene slate collection

Hey there folks! Today I have the new essie serene slate collection for ya!

The essie serene slate collection features nine new nail colors, all with a muted, soothing neutral flavor. Most of these are cremes but we have a couple shimmers and a metallic as well. I am in love with this collection because I love muted and/or greyish nail tones, so this is perfect for me.

I swatched *almost* all of these with just two coats (the one exception was press pause, which was three thin coats) and the formula was great!

press pause

press pause is a light grey creme with a very slight blue tint.

My Favorite Beige OPI Nail Lacquer Colors

TGIF and welcome to my favorite beige OPI nail lacquer colors!

Beige/tan/nude (whatever you want to call it) isn’t one of my favorite colors for anything, so these colors here should be happy they passed my test! 🙂

These are all new swatches (I am re-swatching them all as I go) but again, I won’t be discussing formula or anything since I have already reviewed these shades on here in the past.

OPI My Vampire Is Buff

My Vampire Is Buff is a nice creamy beige-y white.

OPI You’re So Vain-illa

You’re So Vain-illa is probably my favorite of these six here.
