Swatched: Maybelline Brocades Nailpolish

Maybelline Brocades Nailpolish

Here are my picks:

 

 GILDED ROSE

its the exact dupe of Formula X for Sephora

 RUBY REDIFINED

 EMERALD ELEGANCE

 CRUSHED CRIMSON

 i tried taking photos of this shade under different lighting

I personally think that these nail polish are so much better looking in person.. its more sparkly and beautiful.  My favourite is Crushed Crimson. I love the way it applied - its very opaque after 2 coats and its just very festive..ahhhh i absolutely love it! ^_^

have you given these a try? which is your favourite?

Swatched: Revlon Parfumerie nailpolish (Part 2)

this batch of nail polishes require at least 2 coats

 (especially the more metallic ones, as there are visible brush strokes)

Fresh Linen - nice pearly white; smells soapy; applied 3 coats in this photo

Spun Sugar - has a chemically sweet scent which I'm not a fan of; definitely needs at least 2 coats

Wild Violets - its an eggplant colour with purple and blue duo chrome? ; smells floral; 

opaque with 2 coats; 

              

Espresso - a blue black colour; smells like old coffee grounds (lol); opaque with 2 coats

Italian leather - dark olive green with gold shimmer; has a kind of sweet scent (?); opaque with 2 coats

I have yet to make another trip to our drugstores to find Autumn Spice.. grrr its driving me insane that I cannot fnd it!! :( #lifeofabeautyblogger

have you given these a try? if so, which is your favourite?

Swatched: Revlon Parfumerie nailpolish (Part 1)

Here are some swatches of the new Revlon Parfumerie nailpolish - to hopefully help you out with choosing the shade to take home (quickly as these are limited edition in Canada)

you can definitely get away with one coat for this colour

this is my favourite from these 6 shades - it applies opaquely with 1 application. its also shiny even without using a topcoat (in this picture i used seche vite fot that extra shine).the smell of it reminds me of red wine..and the scent lasts a looong time. it has been well over 15 hours and i can still smell it(faintly) on my nails.

the metallic shades definitely needs 2 or more shades (otherwise there are visible brush strokes)

         i used one application on the index finger, just to see the opaqueness of this colour

this shade reminds me of a nailpolish from Deborah Lippmann - no? .. a possible dupe ^_^

stay tuned for part 2 - i found more shades and cant wait to share them with you!

which shade is your favourite? 

ps. lets take a moment to just look at the bottles for one sec... sooo cute!!
