Butterflies and Rosebuds: Swatch

Here's another Julie G. by Jesse's Girl polish swatch:

"Butterflies and Rosebuds"

Indoors.

 This is a beautiful metallic magenta. It's a great combination of pink and purple, and metallic shimmer.

Direct Sunlight.

This is with 2 coats, it went on nice and smooth with no streaking. It dried nice and quick too. This colour also maintains a nice gloss to it once dried.

I'll update on the wear once I've worn it longer.

Fan Those Flames: Swatch

It's the year 2013! Congratulations! We made it through last year :)

As one of my (few practically zero) new year's resolutions, I'm going to swatch my entire nail polish collection properly. I'm doing it more so for my own reference, but I do hope it helps others out there who want to check out certain shades.

First up for this year is:

"Fan the Flames Fuchsia" by Miss Pro Nail Sation

Jan/01/2013

This is a pink hue, which when dry leans towards the magenta, it looks like it has warm undertones against my skin, but on viewing it in the bottle, I'm quite positive it has blue undertones.

So this is a bright shade, very cheery for winter up here in Canada. It's very close to a neon shade, so it does dry matte, but it is heavily pigmented. This is just 2 coats and as you can see no streaks, and optimal cover. So I'd say the formula is pretty good, it's also just the right thickness, but still dries quick. Sation also has a nice large brush which makes application a dream and super quick.

The only problem I had with this was that it chipped off in less than a day :(. Although, in hindsight that could be solved with a different basecoat, since this is the first time I've had that happen while wearing a Sation polish.

Thank you for reading!

Scandalous

This isn't this week's mani! I promise, tomorrow the proper one will be up.

I'm uploading this for today in the meantime though.

 So the colour on my tips is 2 coats of "Night Prowl" by Wet n' Wild, with one coat of "Scandalous" from Revlon, for the multidimensional magenta glitter. You probably can't really tell from the photo but I'm experimenting with different tip shapes, I'm trying to get it almond shaped.

I will do this again, only next time there will be something more exciting than a basic french. I promise!

Recently received the 12 new nail polishes I bought a few weeks ago. They're all by Kleancolor, and sadly not available in Canada minus a few select Mom n' Pop stores, so I purchased mine on Ebay. Along with each colour I added a swatch painted onto some fake nails. To look at their whole collection (make-up included) go to their website here: Kleancolor

P.S. They have a nice variety of colours, but they do take a tad longer to dry.
