Update: September 19th, 2010

Hey girls, I know I havent been blogging for a while now (about two weeks) and I'd like to truly apologize from the bottom of my heart. I've received many emails asing if I was dead and I'm very sorry about all the MIA-ness. Now I'm back in the blogosphere and I'll try to update atleast twice a week. I have many reviews to post since many new products have come out. I think someone requested for me to have a section on this blog where I post some sneek previews of the posts coming soon. I'll try making that happen anytime this week. I finally got adjusted to my new job and as most of you know, blogging is my hobby and NOT my job so I do have a life of my own I have to concentrate on, but will all of your support I have come this far. I will be posting more perfume reviews since I've gotten more into perfumes lately. I got a chance to try out many fragrances and I would love to share the reviews with all of you. Also I got sneek previews to New York Fashion Week Spring 2011 and I will be posting reviews of some products that were used there. Also, MAC will be releasing their Venomous Villains collection and as soon I get my hands on something from that collection it ill be reviewed ASAP. I hope all of understand my situation, thanks!

OPI Swiss Colelction for Fall 2010 Part 2: Review and Swatches

Hey girls! This second part will be swatches and review. The OPI Swiss Collection for Fall 2010 will release in August. It will be available at JCPenny, Ulta, and other beauty supply stores and e-tailers.

Here are the shade descriptions:

-I’m Suzi and I’m A Chocoholic: This is a crème shade that’s a deep red shade. As all reds and dark shades, it will stain your nails. In the swatch, I used 2 coats.
-From A to Z-urich: This is also a crème shade that’s a really dark pink berry shade. This one also stains the cuticles and nail, but it will wear off. In the swatch, I used 2 coats.
-Color So Hot It Berns: This is a crème shade that’s a true cool red. It looks orange based on the bottle, but comes off a blood red. This also stains the cuticles and nails. In the swatch, I used 2 coats, but my nail line still showed so for extra assurance, you might want to use 3 coats.
-Just A little Rosti At This: This shade is a crème just like From A to Z-urich, but more purple berry-ish. It also stained my cuticles, but not as badly as the others did. In the swatch I used 2 coats.
-William Tell Me About OPI: This is a crème shade which is a deep eggplant purple. It reminded me of OPI Lincoln Park After Dark a little bit. This surprisingly sort of didn’t stain my nails and cuticles, if came off after some rubbing with nail polish remover. In the swatch I used 2 coats.
-Ski Teal We Drop: This is also a crème shade which is a blue based dark teal shade. It did stain my cuticles, but the staining wasn’t much of a bother. In the swatch I used 2 coats.
-Yodel Me On My Cell: This is a frost shade which is dark mermaid blue with blue micro glitter. In the swatch I used 4 coats because with 3 my nail line was still showing.
-The Color To Watch: This is a frost shade which is a light lilac purple blue reflective micro glitter. In the swatch I used 3 coats.
-Cuckoo For This Color: This is a frosty emerald shade with green micro glitter. In the swatch I used 2 coats.
-Diva of Geneva: This is also a frosty dark raspberry-ish purple shade. It has orange duo chrome micro glitter to it. In the swatch I used 2 coats.
-Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous: I think this has to be one of two of my favorite shade because it’s just so ME. It’s a glitter shade that’s dark grey/silver with silver glitters. In the swatch I used 4 coats because it’s sheer.
-Glitzerland: I think that if you had to purchase a shade, this is the one. It’s sheer, but so pretty. It’s a beige champagne-y glitter shade with silver glitters. I used 3 coats, but there will be 4-5 coats necessary since your nail line shows with 3 coats.
















So as all of you can see, I basically love these shades. If you use a base, I can guarantee you that your nails will not get stained. The crème shades consistency is a slight thicker than the other shades’ consistencies, but it still works wonders. The other shades are thinner in consistency, but they dry super fast. Again, with their classic pro-wide brush, application is super easy. Their formula is 3-free so you’re not harming your nails. I hope all of you enjoyed and once again this collection is set to release in August 2010!

Press Release: China Glaze Awakening Limited Edition Halloween Collection

When you really think about it, Halloween isn’t that far away at all and that’s why China Glaze is coming out with a limited edition collection. This collection will consist of 3 ghoulish shades of nail polish with their signature 3 free formula. It will be available at retailers and Sally Beauty Supply stores. The three nail polishes will come with a free Fast Forward Top Coat. I don’t know about you, but I’m getting super excited about them and I’ll try reviewing them if I can get my hands on them. This entire collection looks really unique because I don’t think China Glaze has ever come out with such colors before. The collection of these three polishes is called Awakening. I don’t think it can get any mysterious than that! I suggest you all call you Sally Beauty Supply stores to ask when they will have it because these will be in limited quantities. Here are shade descriptions and pictures are above to go along with them:

Zombie Zest: A mossy green shade with gold flecks of micro glitter.
Ick-A-Body: A dark green base chock full of orange glitter.
Mummy May I: Vampy, wine colored purple with flecks of hot pink glitter.

Availability: (Will Keep You Updated)

Enjoy!

new China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection for Fall 2010 Part 3: Review

Hey women! Today I will be reviewing the China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection for fall 2010. I’m not doing my formatted reviews since it’s an entire collection, not just a single polish. Overall, the formula is just like normal China Glaze polishes. It’s not too thick and goopy or too thin and runny. There were a couple of polishes that I found a bit goopy, but not thick in consistency. They are the following: Riveter Rouge, Foxy, and Goin’ My Way. It didn’t bother me that much, but super picky people would mind (and I mean REALLY PICKY PEOPLE). There are no crème shades in this collection which is a good change for the fall since all throughout spring and summer we are used to wearing super crème finished polishes. I hope you enjoy the product pics:http://onegirlspassionformakeup.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-china-glaze-vintage-vixen_21.html and
swatches:http://onegirlspassionformakeup.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-china-glaze-vintage-vixen.html. They are all really dark colors which is a plus for the cold fall months. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed!

Introducing the New Finger Paints Collection for Summer 2010 Part 2: Swatches and Shade Descriptions

Hey girls, here are the shade descriptions for the summer 2010 collection at Sally Beauty Supply. The brand is called Finger Paints Nail Color and is a line of nail polishes exclusively made for their store. They recently discontinued all of their polishes and introduced 40 new shades. They’re all very opaque and wearable. Here are the shade descriptions:

-Orange You in Love? : This is a mid-tone orange which isn’t too red based or too blue based. It’s pretty wearable and is even in 2 coats.
-Art Dealer Teal-er: This is a teal shade which is more blue than green. It has iridescence to it which creates a duo chrome effect. This shade is wearable to as all the shades in this collection and is even in 2 coats.
- Come-One Coral: This isn’t much coral. It’s softer red looking in the bottle with a cream finish. It’s even in two coats and wearable. This one didn’t stain my cuticles which you would expect a red to do.
-Lucky In Love Lime: A lime green shade which isn’t too neon so it’s wearable. It’s opaque in two coats and has a cream finish.
-Love at First Bight: As the name suggest, this shade would be bright but it’s not that bright. It’s wearable and opaque in 2 coats with a cream finish. It would be more of a darkened Barbie pink.
-Passionate Purple: This shad would be best described as a grape juice purple with iridescence in it. It’s very opaque in a coat but could use the extra coat. This one also has a duo chrome effect to it when viewed from different angles.

I hope you enjoyed the swatches and the review should be coming very soon!
