Polishes -China Glaze - Refresh-Mint
Veee07 7/22/2012 1:03:00 AM
a lovely minty pastel green. Tended to apply a little streaky and I did need about 3 coats (which end up taking forever to dry). I had no issues with chipping...but I always use seche vite as my top coat and I change polishes frequently, so chipping is never really an issue.

Polishes -OPI - Designer Series - DS Original
Veee07 7/22/2012 12:59:00 AM
I'm absolutely obsessed with this color. My first DS polish and it has quickly become one of my go-to colors. It's a bit silver/purple and the holo is beautiful. love love love it. It's not chunky at all (like some of the other holos) and like most of the other OPI that i've tried, it lasts for a decent amount of time.

Polishes -OPI - Come to Poppy
Veee07 7/22/2012 12:42:00 AM
I love this color. It's a pretty shimmery coraly (is that even a word?) pink and I'm sure there are a ton of similar colors...but I don't even care. Come to Poppy came out in the OPI Nice Stems! collection in 2011, which was a summer collection of pinks. A very girly collection. But then again...nail polish is girly. It's my favorite out of this collection and if something similar comes out again, I'm definitely buying it. Like all OPI polishes, they come with what I believe is the best brush out there. For me personally, application is easy and I get my whole nail with one swipe. It's fantastic.

Polishes -Essie - Status Symbol
Veee07 7/22/2012 12:31:00 AM
I'm really on the fence about this pink. I'm usually a pink fanatic...but there was nothing "wow" or "i HAVE to have this polish" about this color. I wouldn't describe it as a hot pink but it does have a little burst of color. If you want something bright and fun for summer, this is not the color you're looking for. Overall, it's nice.

Eyeliner -Maybelline - Eyestudio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner
Veee07 7/19/2011 1:55:00 AM
This is a nice cheaper alternative to the higher end products. I did loose the brush within the first week of purchasing and had to go out and buy a new brush. The formula is smooth and literally lasts all day...even all night if i forgot to wash my face. I love it.

Veee07 6/19/2011 2:12:00 AM
Very fruity scented. Good for spring and summer. Limited Edition...I bought mine today during their Semi-Annual Sale. If you love it and didn't get a chance to snag it, It's IDENTICAL to Ed Hardy's Hearts and Daggers. When I brought this home, I compared them and realized that they are the same sent. Now I have two :) good thing i love it so much

Polishes -Sally Hansen - HD Hi-Definition Nail Color in Laser
Veee07 6/3/2011 1:40:00 AM
This is such a pretty shimmery blue. I bought this a while back and had it stashed away in my collection and it wasn't until recently, I pulled it out and swatched it. It has a purple shimmer to it that cant be captured in pictures (at least non indoors that i took). This would look gorgeous in the sun and I can't wait to try it out again this summer!

Polishes -Zoya - Kiki
Veee07 6/1/2011 3:57:00 AM
Such a pretty hot pink with fine silver glitter. Others described it as "hot bubble gum pink" and i agree. I love this, I'm wearing it right now and I just got it in the mail today and had to try it and review it. It's perfect for this time of year and I'll probably be wearing this a lot from now until September. Love Love Love

Top/Base Coats -Seche Vite - Dry Fast Top Coat
Veee07 6/1/2011 3:49:00 AM
I like the fact that you can put this on freshly painted nails and then within a couple minutes, it's dry to the touch. It won't be fully dry, so don't try to do anything crazy (like try to grab your keys inside your purse) because the polish is still likely to dent and smudge. The polish is pretty pricey, my salon has it for about 9.95 which is pretty insane for a top coat. I also don't like the fact that once you get down to about 1/3 or 1/4 left in the bottle, it's pretty thick and very had to work with. I'm searching for a cheaper alternative, but until then, I'll try to finish up this bottle.

Masks -LUSH - Catastrophe Cosmetic
Veee07 6/1/2011 3:42:00 AM
This was the first Lush mask I've bought. I'm a huge Lush fan and I've loved pretty much every product I've tried from them. I like that this has fresh ingredients, the only downfall is that you have to use it within 2-3 weeks of buying it (depending on when they received it). I put this on and left it for about 10 minutes. I read some of the other reviews about this and some other people had complained about the blueberries falling off....I don't know if they now crush the blueberries or what, but I didn't have chunks of blueberries. Instead, my pot had crushed blueberries and they were well blended throughout the product. The smell of this is yummy and is better than most of the masks that Lush carries (which is partially why I chose this one). This was easy to work with and it wasn't too dry or runny and was easy to remove. It left my skin matte and smooth and my redness has reduced.

Palettes -Unlisted Brand - BH Cosmetics - 120 Color Palette 1st Edition
Veee07 6/1/2011 3:24:00 AM
I bought this online during one of BH Cosmetics sales. I had heard so many good things about this from the gurus on youtube (knowing that they were sent the products for free) and I figured for the price, I couldn't go wrong. Most of the colors are pretty pigmented and lovely. Some on the other hand, are a bit hard to work with. You get a nice variety of colors with each of the pallet and is well worth the price you pay. You wouldn't want to use any of these colors as an every day wear, because it wont last you too long because each color is about the size of a dime. But this nice to have for the variety and to try out colors that you wouldn't normally buy otherwise.

Polishes -Sally Hansen - Xtreme Wear - All Colors
Veee07 5/30/2011 5:50:00 AM
I adore these polishes. They don't last too long without starting to chip, but since I change my polish color every day, it's not a big deal to me. Most of the colors are pretty opaque and you only really need 1 coat. I really like these when I Konad my nails. They're pretty cheap, and yes you get what you pay for. But out of all the other polishes in this price range, I think these are the best.

Polishes -OPI - Step Right Up!
Veee07 5/30/2011 5:37:00 AM
A pale pretty pink. Similar to Bubble Bath, Sweet Heart, and Essie's Ballet Slippers. I like the color, my only thing is that I've seen it several times before...and I seem to buy it every time. So now I have a bunch of the same colors with different names in my stash.
