Polishes -Color Club - Pardon My French
annawixom 5/15/2012 7:53:00 AM
I am so sad the formula is so horrible because the color is really pretty. I have tried a dozen ways to apply this polish and there is just no way to get an even finish. 4 coats and still super streaky. Not just some streaks her and there but TONS of streaks. The worst formula on the planet which is not like color club at all, but this is not good. Do not waste your money on this. There are many shades out there similar to this with far better application.

Polishes -OPI - Fly
annawixom 5/15/2012 12:26:00 AM
This polish not only is gorgeous and very wearble (which a lot of greens and blues can tend to look tacky, this does not at all look tacky). The formula is great and dries very glossy. It looks and feels like there is a top coat on, so I didnt bother adding a top coat. It is perfectly thick one to two coater depending how thick you do your layers. Its really such a great color that catches the eye. I love it!

Polishes -OPI - Swimsuit... Nailed it!
annawixom 5/15/2012 12:10:00 AM
This color is a very pretty blue but for some reason it just looks tacky on the nails in my opinion. I love blue but not many blue colors look that good on me. So I rate this a 3 because it isnt very wearable for me, but if you are a blue polish lover than this color is worth a try. It does stain your nails and the skin around the nail really bad! so beware of that. If anyone is looking for a nice all around blue than pacific blue by sally hansen xtreme wear hard as nails and snowcone by orly are probably the most wearable blues I have found. Those two are really awesome polishes. swimsuit nailed it is more in your face glitzy blue. Hard to pull that kind of polish off as classy.

Polishes -Orly - faint of heart
annawixom 4/27/2012 12:49:00 PM
I have a few gray polishes and I like this one the best. Application was really smooth and something about this gray was cool tone, and not dreary. I paired this with a pink maxi dress and got so many compliments on my polish and several workers at ulta asked what color I was wearing. If you look really closely, once polish is applied, there are these dark little speckles(they are not very noticeable but are a nice touch). I am glad I splurged on this shade. Its the only gray I own that is cool toned enough to wear in the summer time as well as the winter.

Polishes -Revlon - Totally Toffee
annawixom 4/27/2012 12:40:00 PM
This color is a rich leaning on dark brown color, its very opaque. Wouldnt need more than 2 coats. I think it would be perfect for the fall. I have had this color for 10 plus years and its still as perfectly smooth as the day I got it. I randomly found this when I went home and visited my parents and expected it to be a big goopy ball of nasty when I opened it. I was shocked to see that my high school polish was still perfect and I am 28 years old now! I am sure it has many more years of good use. I would say its worth your money. I am normally a polish snob and dont buy drug store polishes but there are a few I would make exceptions for. This is one of those polishes. Its great.

Polishes -China Glaze - For Audrey
annawixom 4/27/2012 12:27:00 PM
There is nothing wrong with this polish. The formula is nice and the color is rich. My only problem with this polish is that the color looked so tacky and " like hi I am 14 years old" type of color on my nails :( I dont know why because the color is beautiful but it just wasnt beautiful on me. I will still use my bottle and hope the color combo with my skin tone grows on me, but I wont repurchase. I would still recommend at least trying this color because a lot of people like it so it obviously works well for so many.

Polishes -OPI - Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot!
annawixom 4/27/2012 12:21:00 PM
This is the perfect pink color. I also have a popular opi color called strawberry margarita that is identical to this color so if you have that color I wouldt recommend buying feeling hot hot hot. Color is nice and rich and goes on very smoothly in one coat. Very pretty!

Polishes -Orly - Cherry Bomb
annawixom 4/27/2012 12:11:00 PM
This color is really pretty in the bottle but it has a LOT of orange in it. For my skin tone oranges just dont look good, but if you have a skintone that works well with orange polish than this would be a very nice polish for you. You can see in the bottle its very orangy but i went aginst my better judgment anyway because it was so pretty. I will end up giving it away I am sure. I have pretty light skin. Not fair but light and this makes my hands look washed out. I wanted so bad to like this polish because it is very different and eye catching. Application is nice, and I would still recommend this to someone with darker skin.

Polishes -OPI - Bubble Bath
annawixom 4/27/2012 12:03:00 PM
This is a really light color but you can get opacity with 3 coats. I think its worth the effort. The finish kind of does remind me of bubble bath or that glossy look of bubbles. This is a favorite of mine and if I am in a mood for a very light not in your face polish, this color is the one I like to wear. Its beautiful. Application is smooth just like I said before its just light so you need a few coats.

Polishes -OPI - I Brake For Manicures
annawixom 4/27/2012 11:54:00 AM
I LOVE this color. It is obviously dark but you can still tell that it isnt black. The color is dusty eggplant . I found the color in the bottle was the color I got on my nails. This is in my opi favorites pile for sure. Application took 2 coats for me. You can get away with one though. Formula goes on very smooth and streak free. I honestly dont see how anyone couldnt love this color! Its gorg!

Polishes -OPI - Hot and Spicy
annawixom 4/19/2012 10:33:00 PM
I adore this polish! The color is like nothing I have or can even find a dupe for. Its a cross between coral and orange and salmon. Its just so different and unique. Its gorgeous in the spring and summer. I always tell everyone to get this color! Application takes several coats but it isnt too streaky. After two coats it evens out. If you dont have this GO now and buy it!

Polishes -Orly - Blue Collar
annawixom 4/19/2012 10:30:00 PM
Rich blue. A tad darker than sky blue, and applys like butter. Perfect formula. I can get a very clean application with this formula. Alot of times polish will be watery or thin and pool up at my cuticles. This is thick and smooth and glossy. One of my favorites!

Polishes -Essie - Watermelon
annawixom 4/19/2012 10:23:00 PM
This isnt a color you havent seen before. It is not original by any stretch of the imagination, but the application is a dream. Nice and opaque in one coat. Goes on like butter. The color is a nice rich raspberry color. Almost red but still dark pink. It is a great formula! I love the essie brushes because the handle is short which make it so much easier to control and get my color on without painting outside the lines. I would recommend this polish. Would look great on the toes!

Polishes -Orly - Cotton Candy
annawixom 4/19/2012 10:18:00 PM
I love this color, i just dont really like the application of this polish. Its a very nice peachy pink and very nice in the summer with or without a tan. It glows on my toes. This is a thick but streaky polish. So let each layer dry before applying the next coat. Took my 3-4 coats which is a pain. The color is worth the extra effort though.
