Dr's Remedy Positive Pink

Good Morning my loves! Today I have a lovely pink from Dr's Remedy to share with you. Positive Pink is a dusty pink creme that is in the Barbie pink family. PP was released for Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 2011. The formula was a little on the thin and runny side, but it was easy to manage and fully opaque in 3 thin coats. Dry time was pretty good, and it dried with a nice glossy finish. IRL its a tiny bit darker, and dustier. It reminds me of Sparrow Me The Drama by OPI (which I will do a comparison for soon). In the swatch below I used no tc.

Just because I wanted to try out my Red Angel plates that I got for Christmas I decided to spruce this mani up a little. I just picked a random plate and design and didn't put much thought into it. I used special polish in Psyche Pink, ip RA-108. I don't care for how the design came out all. It would probably look much better on a black and white combination, blue and white, any other combo than what I chose lol. That aside that plates stamp wonderfully, because the images are etched out nice and deep and grab easily. I think I just pressed down much to hard (because its a little smudged together) because that's what I had to do with all the other ip's to get a good transfer. The picture with flash shows the design a bit better...

What do you think about Positive Pink? Positive Pink I like, the stamping eh bleh. Perhaps I will try something a bit more delicate next time, last time I will do a blind pick lol. Thanks for stopping by babes :o)

12 Days of Christmas: Candy Cane Nails

Good Morning Babes! Today is day 4 of the 12 Days of Christmas challenge. Candy Cane Nails is what we have going on today. I chose blue candy canes because those are the yummiest ones to me. My base is Bettina Vintage Jean, stamped with Blue Years Eve by China Glaze, Passion Purple by Dr's Remedy, BM ip 207, and SV at my tc. I chose this ip because the stripes aren't small like traditional candy canes, so I wanted to switch it up a little bit. Its came out as a fail because I didn't line up the stamp properly but I just didn't have enough to to completely redo the mani, so hopefully you see what I was trying to achieve. I'm still really under the weather, so please excuse this mani.
My Challenge Mates:
Carolina - Colores de Carol

Tera - Nails in Nippon

Marta - Chit Chat Nails 

Here's an idea of how I intended to stamp across my nail so that it would look more like the stripes on the candy cane.

Do you like my blue candy canes? The blue isn't exact but its the closes I could get. Have you checked out Tera, Marta and Carolina Candy Cane mani's yet? Thanks for stopping by to let me share with you. See you tomorrow for Wrapping Paper Nails.

Dr's Remedy Jolly & Joy Collection Swatches and Review - Cremes/Shimmers

Good Morning Babes! I'm finally back to my regular posting schedule after the hectic holiday week. Today I have the cremes/shimmers and the rest of the collection for you today. I used 1 coat of INM Out The Door as my top coat for swatches in this post.

REVIVE Ruby Red - A shimmer-infused Wizard of Oz-inspired shade of crimson.

Ruby Red is a deep burgundy red metallic polish. I definitely wouldn't call this a "Wizard of Oz" red because its much to dark. The brush was absolutely terrible, it must have been some defect because it was almost as thin as a nail art brush. This is 1 thick coat because I definitely was over this brush. The formula was good but I still had brush strokes that I believe would not have been there had there been a regular brush. Dry time was very good and it dried to a nice glossy finish.


PASSION Purple - A bombshell-boysenberry with subtle silver meshed throughout.

Flash

Passion Purple is a very pretty wine toned purple with purple, blue and red micro glitter. The formula was amazing and was opaque in 2 thin coats. I don't like these deep dark purples but this color is amazing and I absolutely love it which really shocked me. Its a bit darker IRL which is why I called it a wine toned purple. Dry time was also very good on this one.


ESSENTIAL Emerald - A take on the classic tree-and-plant inspired gem of a shade, with delicate glimmer and unparalleled amounts of glamour.

Flash

 Emerald aaaahhhh the star of the collection. I LOVE THIS COLOR! The description is very accurate when its described as tree and plant based, because that's exactly how I would describe the tone. In this polish there's green, blue, purple, and silver micro shimmer that really make this polish unique and pop. I used 2 thin coats and it was perfection. The formula is amazing just like the others, and it dried very fast. I will definitely be revisiting this color, such a beautiful green.

What do you think of these 3 beauties? I love Emerald and Purple, they both go well with my skin tone. I don't think that there's anything special about Ruby Red, its a very common red metallic but it is still pretty nonetheless. All in all I would definitely recommend this whole collection, they are all so pretty. Don't forget to like Dr's Remedy on Facebook and follow them on Twitter to stay up to date with new collections and promotions they will be having.

Dr's Remedy Jolly & Joy Collection Swatches and Review - SERENE Silver Glitter

Good Afternoon Babes and I hope everyone is having a lovely Saturday. I had to take the day to myself yesterday to rest up from 2 days of cooking. Today I have another from the 2011 holiday collex from Dr's Remedy.

SERENE Silver Glitter: A seasonal sizzler like no other; shine, chic, totally unique in the metallic scene.

Flash

Silver Glitter has a silver metallic base with red, blue and silver glitter. The formula was really good for a glitter and was opaque in 2 thin coats. Dry time was really fast and I used 2 coats of SV to get a shiny smooth finish. I would make sure to allow dry time in between coats so you don't get any drag.


What do you think of Silver Glitter? I wasn't impressed by it at first glance because silver's don't go well with my skin tone, but I absolutely fell in love with it and its my favorite out of the 2 glitters. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share with you, and I will have the creme/shimmers for you tomorrow. If you haven't liked or following Dr's Remedy on Facebook and Twitter don't forget to do so now so you can stay up to date with what they have going on.

Dr's Remedy Jolly & Joy Collection Swatches and Review - Red Glitter

Good Morning and Happy Thanksgiving! Today I have a very pretty polish to share with your from Dr's Remedy holiday collection Jolly & Joy! If you don't know much about D.R. its a line of doctor-inspired cosmetics that is dedicated to using clean, hypo-allergenic ingredients. The polishes are enriched with naturally occurring anti fungal ingredients like tea tree oil, garlic bulb extract, vitamins C and E, and wheat protein. Its free from harsh toxins to promote healthier nails and its the first ever nail polish on the market approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Now to show you the beautiful Red Glitter.

RESOLUTION Red Glitter: A red-meets-copper spin that's sequin-look-alike laden with high-shine and sparkle.

In this one you can see where it flashes the copper and the silver. The sun was not really in my favor, this is a day where the sun was a little to bright and the pictures would have shadows from the camera being held over my hand or it would be super bright.

I was really able to capture the silver in this picture. Isn't it gorg?

I love how the copper really flashes at certain angles, it gives it some serious pop.

OK so I tried to make sure that I got good pictures so that you could see all the loveliness that is RRG. In the swatches above I used 2 coats and it was fully opaque. This glitter is definitely not meant for layering, its perfect on its own. The formula is a little on the thick side but not in a bad way, just in a way that you want to give it a little time between coats so that you have no drag. In person it definitely has a metallic/foil-like look to it. To my eyes it doesn't look red at all, more like a dark pink. Dry time was very fast but it dries gritty so you need a good thick top coat, and this polish eats up tc, so I used 2 coats of SV and was good to go. You really want to watch your cuticles because this is one of those glitters that like to hang around and is a pain to clean up.


What do you think of RESOLUTION Red Glitter? At first glance I didn't think it would go well with my skin tone but I absolutely love it and didn't want to take it off! Thanks for stopping by and I will have the rest of the collection up through-out the weekend. If you aren't following Dr's Remedy on Twitter or like their Facebook page do so now, you'll stay up to date on what they have going on, promotions and upcoming collections.
