Review, Product Pictures, and Swatches: OPI Go Goth Collection for Halloween 2010

Sometimes it feels like companies are too quick in coming out with their collections. I mean, we’re not even done with summer and fall collections are coming out already. Amidst all of these collections, OPI decided to release its Halloween collection in the beginning of September. Now, I’m not gonna snore because Halloween happens to be my most favorite holiday. Just the thought of getting free candy and dressing up makes me want to piss in my pants. I think that candy is the best gift in the world. So, this year’s collection is called Go Goth and it comes with 4 OPI minis is ghoulish shades as well as a free lace cuff bracelet. The entire set will retail for $12.50. All of the colors are minis which means that they are 1/8 Fl. oz. Now, I’ve heard many things about how the minis are heard to work with, but I think that those people are definitely crazy. I have small nails (as you can tell by the swatches) and the brush is perfect for it. I also love the drying time and they pigmentation of a OPIs and these are no different. They are the exact same as full size OPIs, but these are tinier. I personally think it is too cute that they’re so mini that you can fit them in your pocket. With these, I got chip free wear for 5 days until the tips started wearing off somewhat. The shades came out just like they were described, but let me describe them in my own words again.


-Unripened: A black shade with green glitter. In the swatches, I used 2 coats.
-Nevermore: A black shade with purple glitter. In the swatches, I used 2 coats.
-Sanguine: A dark red with black shimmer. In the swatches I also used 2 coats.
-Obscurity: A matte black shade. In the swatches, I used 2 coats.

So, I don’t have to complain about any of the shades. They were excellent quality and they work really nicely with nails of any size (I used on my mom and she has huge nails). So, here are the swatches and more product pictures. Thanks for reading!








Enjoy!

Motives Cosmetics Nail Candy Nail Enamel Part 1: Product Pictures and Swatches

Hey girls! Today I will be sharing product pictures and swatches of Motives Cosmetics Nail Enamel. They have about a dozen colors and some of them are new and recently added. The ones shown here aren’t all new. Only Laguna Beach and Tickle Me Pink are new for the summer, but I Believe in UFO’s is an original shade. The shades I have here are the top 3 nail enamel colors. Here are the shade descriptions:


-Tickle Me Pink: This is a peachy light baby pink glitter shade which has silver glitter. It’s really sheer so you probably will need more than 3 coats, but here I used 3 coats.
-Laguna Beach: This is a frosty teal blue color with teal green duo chrome. It took me 3 coats to get it this opaque.
-I Believe in UFO’s: This is a dark hot pink frost shade. For the color to be opaque you only need 2 coats and that’s how many I used.

Enjoy the swatches and product pictures and review coming soon!

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!

Review: Motives Cosmetics Gel Eye Liner

Hey girls! Today I will be reviewing the Motives Cosmetics Gel Eye liner in Chocoholic. This is a dark brown with gold shimmers in it. You can purchase this product from motivescosmetics.com for $15.75. Its best if used with their angled brush which I love to death because you can create the perfect cat eye look with it. Keep reading to see why I absolutely love this product!

Pro(s):
-It last really long without creasing (6 hours).
-Very intense color without looking too intense.
-Greatly pigmented. You don’t have to go over it a lot of times.
-Very creamy.

Con(s):
-None found during the testing of this product.

Overall review: I really adore this product. It is perfect for everyday use and lasts really long. It’s much pigmented for a creamy for gel eyeliner. It has a matte finish which I really like. It’s great as a base for smoky brown looks that you might want to do for prom or something. Thanks a lot to Margaret for requesting this review and I hope all of you enjoy this product!

Rating: 10/10 :)

Is it recommended by Vicky? : Oh yeah, I love this product to death!

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!

Introducing the NEW OPI Flutter Collection for Summer 2010 Part 2: Swatches

Hey girls!Here are the swatches and shade descriptions for each shade that will be releasing this month in the OPI Flutter Collection for summer 2010.

Shade descriptions:

-Flit A Bit: This shad is an opaque orange with a crème finish. It’s pretty even in 2 coats.
-Wing It! : This is a very glittery shade. It’s a dark fuchsia pink with tons of glitter. It has blue/purple reflex in it which causes the shade to look different from different angles. This might need 3 coats although I used 2 coats for the swatches. It’s a bit on the transparent side.
-Flower-To-Flower: This is a mid-tone pink with an almost crème finish, but it has fine silver shimmers. It’s even in 2 coats and I actually painted all my nails this shade after receiving press samples.
-Catch Me In Your Net: This shade is a lot like Wing It! because it’s really on the transparent side. In the swatch I have 2 coats on but you might need 3-4. The shade itself is a dark blue with turquoise green reflex in it so this shade also looks different from different angles. It also has a lot of glitter in it which I said was the reflex.

My review is coming up next!
