Nail Polish Review - Cirque Heritage Collection

29 July 2014

I have always admired Cirque polishes from afar... but I never ordered any of the polishes. Things changed when this collection was announced... I just knew I had to have Cerillos, the turquoise holo beauty in the collection!!! IT IS GORGEOUS!!

As I started seeing swatches of the remainder of the polishes, I couldn't resist and bought the entire collection! Here is a collage of the entire collection... perfect for Instagram and Pinterest!


Overall Comments:
How pretty is every single shade in this collection?!?! Can you believe that these are my very FIRST holographic polishes? I am in LOVE! Each polish has a rainbow holographic finish and the formula is pretty consistent. There are a few shades that were not as pigmented and required 3 coats but overall I am super happy with the formula and application. It is so rare to love every single polish in a collection and I can't wait to see what Cirque comes up with in their next collection!

Nail Polish Review - Essie Neon 2014 Collection - Too Taboo

24 July 2014

*Press Sample*

Every summer, essie releases 2 collections... their neon collection and their official summer collection. Today I have swatches of the essie neon 2014 collection... too taboo (press release here)!

If you haven't seen swatches of the essie summer 2014 collection... haute in the heat, click here.

Like most essie collections, the neon 2014 collection consists of 6 polishes. Here is a collage of the entire collection... perfect for Instagram and Pinterest!


Overall Comments:
I did not swatch any of these shades over a white base because I wanted to show that you can get the vibrancy and opacity without it! Plus I hate the white halo it creates around the edges of my nails! Although most of this collection is not truly neon, it consists of very bright shades that are gorgeous and perfect for the summer. I am very happy to see an aqua blue, blurple and lime green... but a surprise favourite was definitely the coral! In terms of formula, it varied from 2 to 5 shades to reach full opacity.

Nail Polish Review - Essie Summer 2014 Collection - Haute in the Heat

22 July 2014

*Press Sample*

As promised in my last post, I am back from my hiatus. We are right in the middle of summer so I thought why not start with one of my favourite summer collections... essie haute in the heat (press release here)!

Like most essie collections, the summer 2014 collection consists of 6 beautiful shades. This collection is balanced with 2 neutral shades and 4 very bright and summer colours!

Here is a collage of the entire collection... perfect for Instagram and Pinterest!


Overall Comments:
The formula was consistent across the entire collection... creamy, perfect, pigmented and fully opaque in 2 coats. In fact, some have the potential to be one coaters! I must admit, I was a little surprised to see nudes/neutral shades as part of the summer collection but there have been many other spring/summer collections with a variety of neutral shades so I guess this collection is right on trend! On the other hand, I am always delighted to see some brights, especially in the blues, teals, and greens!
