Vampy Varnish

Happy Wednesday friends! Today I’ve got the new Disney Aladdin Collection by MAC for ya.

Disney Aladdin Collection by MAC is a collaboration for the brand new Aladdin movie, which is out on theaters now. This collection is beautifully decorated with a warm gold reflective surface and either a pink or turquoise scrollwork design. The colors are beautiful and rich and there is a lot of metallic and/or shimmery items to choose from.

Let’s dig in!

Chanel Nail Polish

Chanel Cruise 2019 Le Vernis Collection

Purchased

Happy Wednesday! Today I’ve got two of three nail shades from the Chanel Cruise 2019 Le Vernis Collection.

I only chose two of the three because the third color is a very sheer beige that just didn’t appeal to me at all. These are also somewhat on the sheer side but just two layers over a base coat makes them opaque.

Open Air

Open Air is a light, muted periwinkle (lavender leaning) creme.

Essie Nail Polish

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the essie summer 2019 collection!

This limited edition collection features six new cremes for summer. Now some people have said these are neons, but I beg to differ. I think only one can be classified as a neon, though they do dry with a matte finish, as most neons do. Bright? Yes! But neon? Nope.

These didn’t have the most perfect application, I must say. Most of these are three thin coats even over a ridge-filling base coat. Three coats isn’t a deal-breaker for me, I normally use three as I like my nail polish as saturated as possible. I swatched all of these with a top coat so you can see the pretty shine.

soles on fire is a neon light orange. This is the only one I would call a neon.

Essie Favorites Nail Polish

My Favorite White essie Nail Lacquer Colors

Press Sample

It’s Thursday and time for my favorite white essie nail lacquer colors!

There are actually a decent number of white essie shades that I like and the ones I chose are all very different from each other. Some are more yellow-ish, some more grey-ish and one is even textured!

Because white is notoriously prone to streaks, I swatched all of these over a ridge-filling base coat (my current fave is Fillin’ Groovy by KBShimmer.)
