sorry about the recent absenses! it has been very difficult for me to find time to write a post...especially being a perfectionist -_-;; i like to provide my readers with high quality pictures and accurate information so research is sometimes necessary.
i had a lot of lovely comments on my first nail polish swatch post ^^ with fall coming in, new collections hit stores and you see this random girl walking around with a handful of nail polish testers and a skittles manicure. haha i do it for all you awesome people!
Quo is celebrating their 10th anniversary with an alluring limited edition! this is the very first time where they feature nail polishes as part of their line.

you've probably already heard about the Nicole by OPI Matte Collection around the blogsphere. i was at shoppers the other day spotted the collection! i think the colours are really unique and are worth getting since they have fine shimmers in them, but dries to a matte finish. shimmers+matte= uber interesting ^_~ they dry fast too! almost like lightning haha

i only tried on 2 colours: virtuous violet and positive energy. i used 2 coats [=
i went over to zellers since it was in the mall anyways. i saw this interesting wetnwild color icon insomnia collection and i was spooked by its dark theme. i swatched 33484 blue jitters and 33486 (one coat). apparently they have great formula and a few coats provide a rich opacity with nice glitter. some of them lack shine so they appear dull (just use a top coat to solve this problem).

hope you enjoyed another swatched up a storm post! ^^ enjoy the weekend~!
I picked up orchid and persian blue.. they had one left of each. They need to refill their stock on these, but that is an ongoing problem with joe fresh at my superstore anyway. I wanted to get the grey but they were all out, so I grabbed fig instead.
ReplyDeletemhmm joe fresh really need to work on stocking and customer service. fig is a similar colour to storm although it is leans more to the purple side. thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the swatches
