OPI – Ski Teal We Drop

Wednesday, 18 August, 2010

Teal. It’s been my thing lately. Well, teal nail polish at least. When I saw this I had to get it.

Formula was fabulous! 2 coats, totally opaque. Fast drying. What more can a girl want? It’s a lovely creme, to boot. Holla! (ok, I shouldn’t do things like that…LOL I’m too old to be trying to talk like that.) It’s part of the Fall 2010 Switzerland collection.

Sally Hansen – Fairy Teal

Monday, 16 August, 2010

I had to give this a shot…I had done Yellow Kitty and that formula was pewp. It took more than 3 coats to get it remotely opaque so I was worried this would be the same.

It’s not.

It’s better in coverage, but still bad in dry time. You can find it on the shelves at Walgreens, CVS, etc. I can’t really say much, but you can check out the color below.

Rescue Beauty Lounge – Teal

Tuesday, 10 August, 2010

I was weeding out swatches that I had posted and hadn’t posted…well, hello Teal. I forgot I had swatched you. Back in March. Talk about epic fail on my part.

Checked my notes on the formula – dried slower than some of the other RBLs I’ve had, but it also dried faster than some of the others, too. Nice, high gloss finish. 2 coats were used.

I love teal – one of my new favorite colors.

China Glaze Holographic china glaze nail polish swatches

China Glaze – DV8 and GR8

Monday, 12 July, 2010

I swear I had posted my swatch of DV8, but I was wrong! I had even put it in my Uploaded pics folder. Very odd. I finally found GR8 and was able to swatch it.

I love the China Glaze Holographics. How can anyone not like them? 😀

See below!

Even without the flash, this color was throwing holographics everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I finally decided to tame the beast with a single flash setting. It’s a gorgeous teal, isn’t it? It was a nice cool color against my skin tone.

Love how the sun really brought this into play. In the shade it was this deceptive little color was pretending to be a tame gold nail polish. Out in the sun, I swear it was one of my favorite gemstones (lemon quartz) gone wild! It’s a bit warmer in the undertones than I expected and it clashed terribly with my skin, but … how can you deny how gorgeous it looks?!

Barielle – Decadence

Friday, 18 June, 2010

In continuing with my thing for teal and turquoise, I now present Barielle’s Decadence.

The shimmer in here makes the color pop and look almost electric against my skin. It’s kind of cool, isn’t it?

Bon weekend, mes amis!

Illamasqua – Muse

Teal, glorious teal. How I love thee. Let me count my bottles.

Application was a breeze. Lovely. Quick drying. Perfectly opaque. A wonderful creme…oh, a creme. Come and check it out.
