OPI Scotland Fall 2019 Collection

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the OPI Scotland Fall 2019 Collection!

OPI Scotland features twelve new autumnal shades inspired by the beauty of Scotland – a place I have always wanted to visit. From kilts, to bagpipes, to the Lochness monster, there’s a little something for everyone here.

Most of these are cremes, which is pretty typical of an OPI fall collection, but there are three nice shimmers. Almost all of these were completely opaque with just two coats over a base coat.

MAC Love Me Lipstick Collection

Happy Monday to you, I hope your weekend was good!

Today I’ve got the new MAC Love Me Lipstick Collection for ya. This collection features 24 new lipstick shades in a creamy formula. This formula is actually new for MAC and it’s called the “True-Colour Gelled System”. It contains lychee fruit extract and argan oil with ultra-refined pigments, which gives you a bright, creamy and smooth finish and feel.

There are three color families in the collection which are: Nudes/Corals, Reds and Plums/Violets. I love how the tube matches the correlating color family!

Howdy everyone!

Today I’ve got the essie rocky rose summer 2019 collection. This is one of three new summer collections from the brand. I have already swatched the gelcouture sunrush metals collection and hopefully will be swatching all the shades from the gorgeous geodes collection soon (I have been sent only 2 of the 6 shades so far.)

The formula was really great with all of these colors. They covered perfectly with just two coats over my standard ridge-filling base coat. And I must reiterate how much I LOVE the wider, rounded-edge brushes. They fit my nails so much better!

Hey there friends, happy Wednesday!

Today I’ve got the limited edition Deborah Lippmann Permanent Vacation Summer 2019 Collection. This collection features five new shades. Most are cremes however there is one gorgeous shimmer as well.

As usual with Lippmann polishes I didn’t have any problems. I find cremes (especially light and pastel colors) usually work best for me over a ridge-filling base coat, these included. Everything here is two coats over a base coat.

Written In The Sand

Written In The Sand is a light tan creme.

Happy Now

Happy Now is a light, slightly muted blue creme.

Hi there friends and welcome to the essie sunrush metals collection!

This collection is one part of a trilogy of new summer collections essie came out with. The collections were inspired by warm weather, outdoor fun, nature’s beauty and the earth itself. sunrush metals features six new shimmery metallic gelcouture shades. The other two collections (the rocky rose collection and the gorgeous geodes collection) will be featured on my blog soon!

For all of these swatches I used just two coats of each shade and they were nicely opaque and even looking. I did not experience any negatives with the application whatsoever.
