China Glaze OMG Flashback Collection

Press Sample China Glaze OMG Flashback Collection I am so excited to share the China Glaze OMG Flashback Collection with you today! Back when the original OMG collection released, I wasn’t blogging yet. Back then I got my nails done at a salon, usually just a simple French Manicure on my acrylic nails. By the time I got into doing my own nails, sans acrylic, the price for the original China Glaze OMG Collection was too much for this poor mama. But the China Glaze OMG Flashback arrived, and it’s just as beautiful as I had hoped! For the majority of my swatches, I did use my indoor lighting. I get home from work at night, so I had very little sunlight to work with. I did manage to do a skittle mani of 5 of the shades and snap a picture outside before the sunlight disappeared though – it will…

Press Sample OPI Summer 2018 Grease Collection We start believing now but we can be who we are Grease is the word It’s got groove it’s got meaning Grease is the time, is the place, is the motion Grease is the way we are feeling I have pretty much been listening to the Grease soundtrack since this collection landed on my desk – and as I type up this post – I’m watching it on my second monitor.

China Glaze Spring 2018 Chic Physique Collection

Press Sample China Glaze Spring 2018 Chic Physique Collection So I had the photos ready to go for this, and then tax season hit HARD and somehow I moved the folder and… well here we are now. I have the China Glaze Spring 2018 Chic Physique Collection to share today! This is a pretty damn near perfect Spring collection as you can get. There are 12 polishes with an assortment of vibrant but still sort of soft shades. Let’s take a look at each one! China Glaze – Girl On The Glo Girl On The Glow is a metallic taupeish bronze with silver microglitters mixed in. I used 2 coats and a glossy top coat for these photos. China Glaze – Low Maintenance Low Maintenance is a light cool toned pinky beige creme. I really loved this shade. It’s a wearable shade for pretty much all occasions. I used 3…

Zoya Summer 2018 Sunshine Collection

Press Sample for Zoya Summer 2018 Sunshine Collection Once again I have the immense pleasure and honor of being one of the first to be able to show this next collection. I have had these in my hands for weeks now, so I’ve had to keep quiet. But the day has finally come and I can share the Zoya Summer 2018 Sunshine Collection! As you’ve probably already noticed, this is a very red and pink heavy collection. I was a little surprised at the color selection because it does feel like it might alienate those who aren’t pink and red lovers. With every shade though, people usually either love it or hate it so this was a gamble I think. I am not an anti-pink or anti-red person, so I was perfectly happy with this collection. I am missing the stunning Zoya blues though. Okay so a little more about the Zoya…

Salon Perfect Spring 2018 Peaches & Creme Collection

Press Sample for Salon Perfect Spring 2018 Peaches & Creme Collection Now that tax season is coming to a close, I had a little time to go through more samples I’ve received and swatch and post them! I have some time off coming up, so even more will be coming your way soon. Today I have the Salon Perfect Spring 2018 Peaches & Creme Collection to share! For Spring, Salon Perfect went the peaches and creme route and they have super light shades to medium to bright that have that warm sweet vibe. Some were difficult to photograph (I’m looking at the bright shades) but were a lot of fun to play with. I definitely found some favorites in here, but there were a couple shades that just didn’t work with my cool toned skin – which is normal with peachy type shades. Luckily they included a nice mix so both…
