Zoya Summer 2014 Magical Pixie Dust Trio Swatches and Review


Hi guys! I finally have the Zoya Summer Magical Pixies swatched for you! I was originally going to post them much sooner but I figured I'd let the flood of posts die down a little. :) These are a little different from the last Magical Pixie trio, those had a more metallic base where these ones have a jelly base making them a bit more sheer. The formulas are excellent, as I expected them to be, and of course the sparkle is brilliant! 
I have all three shown here as 3 coats no base or top coat.
Like all pixies, you want to make sure to give enough dry time between coats to prevent any clumping, dragging or pulling of glitters.

Barielle Keys Collection (Summer 2014)


Hello my loves! I have a new to me brand to show you all today. I am really excited about this brand too! Barielle has been around for over 30 years, they started off as a company that created products to condition the hooves of thoroughbred racehorses. Pretty cool right? Now they specialize in hand and nail care with special products that are made for weak, brittle and hard to grow nails. Barielle has a great variety of shades and finishes so there is something for everyone! 

Today I have the new collection for Summer 2014, the Keys Collection! The collection consists of 3 cremes, 2 shimmers and 1 jelly. I am in love with these formulas! Creme polishes can be kind of a pain put these are all such excellent formulas, probably the best cremes I've ever tried!  All 6 are shown here without top coat and as 2 coats unless otherwise noted! Lets jump into it!

SinfulColors: "Rain Rubber", "Rubber Ball" & "Red Tired" from Summmer 2014 Full Throttle Collection


Hello my loves and happy Friday!! Today is a good day, i got some pretty promising news this morning and I have these fantastic SinfulColors polishes to show you! Since the textured trend hit I have easily been one of the biggest fans of the trend. I have so many textured polishes I could easily wear a different textured polish for 2 months straight...maybe 3! LOL You would think I'd be sick of them by now but I'm not, not even close. I think I like the textured trend so much because each brand has their own twist on it. SinfulColors jumped on the textured band wagon last year with their Crystal Crushes Collection, this one is a lot different than that last one. This collection is 5 powerful colors that dry to a slightly textured rubber look, no sparkle, and they are HOT! 

I have 3 of the 5 shades to show you today. They are all shown as 2 coats, no top coat. All have an excellent formula, no flooding pooling or dragging. They apply like a dream. Lets take a look at what I have...

SinfulColors: "Matte About Blue", "Real Teal" & "Solar Flux" from the Summer 2014 Silk + Satin Collection


Hello loves! How is everyone this beautiful summer Thursday? Well I hope. Today I have half of the Silk + Satin collection that SinfulColors has released for this summer! SinfulColors is easily one of my most adored drugstore brands. There are so many shades, finishes and textures to chose from and they are all so affordable! 

This collection consists of 6 shades that dry to a demi-matte silk textured finish. I have 3 shades for your viewing pleasure, all shown as 3 thin coats without top coat. These all have a lovely formula, applying a bit sheer on the first coat but they build up nicely with the second and third coats. No dragging, pulling, pooling, or flooding the cuticles. Dry time is good also, I say about 15 minutes and you're good to go...just don't go doing anything crazy with your freshly polished digits since you won't be using top coat!

Hello loves! Today I have the second half of the Zoya summer collections for you. The Tickled collection consists of 6 bright creme shades that are perfect for summer! All 6 shades had a nice formula, they had a nice thickness to them that helped with control during application. I have all 6 shown here as 2 coats each, unless otherwise noted, topped with Sally Hansen Insta-Dry.
