OPI Coca-Cola Collection

Hey guys! Today I have the 10 Pack Of Style from OPI (Coca-Cola Collection). It came with 8 of the polishes out of the collection except one (the one inspired by Fanta Orange). It also came with a nail envy and top coat. It came in a pretty neat box as well. 

All photos were taken indoors with 2 coats of polish plus topcoat.

It also has a flap that opens and gives a description of the polishes. 

This set came with one duochrome, one metallic, one jelly, and 5 creams. 

Here's "Coca-Cola Red"

So this was inspired by Coca-Cola! It's a beautiful classic red. If you're a red lover, this is a must have!! Application was super creamy. 

Here's "Today I Accomplished Zero"

This is inspired by Coke Zero and is a fun black jelly with red glitters. For a jelly, this built up very nicely in just 2 coats. Application was great as well. 

This is "My Signature is "DC""

This here was inspired by Diet Coke. 

This a silver almost foil like polish with silver shimmer. I'm not a huge fan of these polishes but dry time was really nice. 

Next is "You're So Vain-illa"

This is inspired by Vanilla Coke. I know I always say this but this is my fave beige at the moment! Everything about this is perfect. 

This is "Sorry I'm Fizzy Today"

(Please excuse the nick :( ) This, too, was inspired by Vanilla Coke. Don't exactly know why though lol. Gorgeous creamy pink. I had a bit of application issues suck as streaking but nothing worth not buying this polish if you like it!

This one is "A Grape Affair"

Inspired by Fanta Grape, this is a vampy purple. It's quite lovely. In darker lighting it could be mistaken for black for sure. Awesome creamy formula. 

Here's "Green On The Runway"

This was inspired by Sprite and is also a duochrome! I normally despise duochromes ( I don't know why) but there was something about this one that I love. It shifts to brown under certain lighting and was really hard to capture on camera. It wasn't streaky either which I love. 

Lastly, "Get Cherried Away" 

This is inspired by Cherry Coke. It's a beautiful deep purple/red but formula was a bit thin. Next time I will use three coats for sure!

What do you guys think of this collection? If you've tried them, what are your faves? Thanks for stopping by!

China Glaze Surprise Collection

Hey guys! Today I have 2 polishes from China Glazes Surprise Collection. I've been on the prowl for these for a while and found a couple at Sally beauty for $4.30 each!! To avoid repitition, both were a tiny bit difficult to apply without having to do some dabbing but application was good all around. 

This post is very pic heavy! 

Here's "Glimmer More"

    Indoor lighting. 

This is a glitter polish in a clear base with Fuschia hex glitters and matte light pink, yellow and peach hexes. This is layered over Essence "Peach & Cream". 

This is "I'm A Go Glitter"

This is over OPI "Fly". I didn't like the choice of colour so I changed it up lol

Indoor lighting

This is over China Glaze "Secret Periwinkle". 

This is a glitter in a clear base with Fuschia hexes and matte yellow and light blue hexes. 

I want more of these! I think they're so cute and fun. What do y'all think? 

Come check me out on Instagram for more nail polish pics! @polishednubs

Manglaze Mink Mittens

Hey!! Today I have my first Manglaze polish to show y'all, it's called "Mink Mittens". First off I'm going to state 3 things: 1- I indie polishes 2- purple is my fave colour and 3- I'm matte obsessed. This polish is ALL 3 things!!!! This polish had a bad ass formula, and a super quick dry time. This post is pic heavy...you've been warned. Lol

On my ring finger I added a topcoat. I'm not sure how to describe this polish. Somewhat foil? Who cares, it rocks and it has an awesome bottle!! The topcoat reduced the foil look. 

@manglaze is their Instagram account and if you want to purchase go to manglaze.com if you're canadian, you can order from amazon.com :)

Essie Resort 2014 collection

Hey y'all! Tonight I have Essie's 2014 Resort Collection except for one :( the collection has 3 shades. For this post I have "Find Me An Oasis","Cocktails & Coconuts",and "Under The Twilight". At first, these didn't strike me as Spring shades, but after swatching/wearing them, I think they're Spring appropriate!

First up is "Under The Twilight"

    Indoor lighting

My first thoughts were that this was a definite dupe for Essie's "No More Film", I was really wrong! They have the exact formula, PERFECTION in every way!! This is 2 coats, no topcoat. 

Here's a comparison pic of "No More Film" (NMF) and "Under The Twilight" (UTT). 

Here's "Find Me An Oasis"

    Indoor lighting. 

This almost-white-blue made my skin look super tan! That's never happened to me before. Lol Regardless, it's still beautiful! First coat was streaky, but one more evened it out nicely!

Lastly is "Cocktails & Coconuts"

    Indoor lighting

LOVE THIS!!! This beauty of a nude also has some silver flecks in it. "Sand Tropez" was always my fave nude until I tried this! Great application with 2 coats. I thought "Sand Tropez" (ST) would've been a good dupe for this, but once again I was wrong lol. 

 

Hope y'all enjoyed!

OPI Neon 2014 Collection

Hey guys! So today I have the new neon collection from OPI! There were some unexpected faves for me from this collection! I bought the mini set which includes the 6 neons. There's also a white to use a base coat to make the neons pop out but I didn't grab that one. 

All the swatches are without white undies and all dried to a semi matte finish. 

First up is "Juice Bar Hopping"

    Indoor lighting

This is a retina searing tangerine! I love it! The formula was good, dried to a semi matte finish. I used 3 coats with no topcoat. 

This is "Life Gave Me Lemons"

    Indoor lighting

Ahh! My first of the unexpected faves! Totally reminds me of a highlighter yellow, it's great! This is 3 coats, no topcoat. Formula was good.

Here's "You're So Outta Lime!"

    Indoor lighting

My other fave! This reminds me of a neon version of Essie's "Mojito Madness". 3 coats, no topcoat. 

Next up is "Hotter Than You Pink"

    Indoor lighting

This hot pink has a pearlescent shimmer to it which I really like. There's some visible nail line (VNL) but it's not super noticible. I used 3 coats and no topcoat. Also had a good formula and dry time. 

This is "Push & Purr-Pull"

    Indoor lighting

This is the only polish that I had a problem with the formula. I found it to be very streaky on the first coat, and on the second coat it dragged away a lot from the cuticle. The one thing i do like is that it looks super squishy!! This is 3 coats with no topcoat. 

Lastly is "Down To The Core-al"

    Indoor lighting

This is a beautiful coral colour which, unfortunately, I wasn't able to photograph so well. Like "Hotter Than You Pink", it's also pearlescent. Good formula, 3 coats no topcoat. 

Thanks for stopping by!
