H&M Notoriously Beautiful

Good Morning Babes! Notoriously Beautiful by H&M is a deep purple cream polish that looks like it has just a hint of blue. The formula is good but the brush holds a lot of polish so you will want to clear some off. Its very pigmented and almost opaque in one coat, but needs 2 to be fully opaque. The dry time is really good and is very glossy. In these swatches I didn't use a top coat.

And just to make it pop a little I added INM Northern Lights which is a holo top coat. It looks absolutely beautiful with NL but I just couldn't capture it on camera :(

What do you think about Notoriously Beautiful? I'm starting to get just a tad obsessed with the H&M polishes! Thanks for stopping by.

Simply Sweet Sundays: Revlon Starry Pink

Good Morning Babes! What I have for you is the amazing Starry Pink from the Revlon Expressionists Collection. Starry Pink has a sheer soft baby pink base with small silver and silver hexi glitter. The formula is easy to work with and builds to opacity in 3 thin coats. I used Seche as my coat was good to go.

I know Starry Pink has been seen swatched all over the place but I haven't yet so here it is :)  I love how it looks against my pecan brown skin tone! What do you think about Starry Pink?

H&M Hello Kitty Corall Summer

Good Morning Babes and happy Saturday! Today I have Corall Summer for you from the Hello Kitty Collection by H&M. I have been lemming for this for months and recently got it in a swap :) . Corall Summer is a dusty blue with just a teeny tiny splash of teal cream polish. An absolutely amazing formula that dries fast to a nice shiny finish. In these pictures I used 2 coats to reach opacity, and no top coat.

And just to add a little bit of fun I added 2 coats of Revlon's Blue Mosaic from the Limited Edition Expressionists Collection, and INM Out the Door as my top coat. Blue Mosaic has a clear base packed with small blue, silver hexi, green hexi, and blue hexi glitter.

I absolutely love this polish, and it looks much better in person! What do you think of Corall Summer and Blue Mosaic? I also changed around the way my page looks, I wanted something simpler as far as color scheme. Like? Thanks for stopping by :)

OPI He's My Boo

Good Morning Babes! Today I have OPI He's My Boo for today's mani. Yesterday was just a horrible swatch session, so I threw this on because I couldn't get it right. I will definitely have to make up for that today. He's My Boo is from the Spookettes mini collection, its your regular standard orange tone. This polish is a cream but the formula is very streaky and didn't even out until 3 coats. Dry time was ok but not the best, however it dried to a very glossy finish. I used a pumpkin water decal that came in the set, Nubar 2010 (this polish is thick, try very thin coats) just to see how it would look, Seche, and then I mattified it. It was very thick because I did a lot but I said I would post whether I like it or not because I'm learning as I go, so here's how it came out...


My decal has a wrinkle in it :(



With Nubar 2010



Mattified and I bumped my ring and pinkie finger

 It looked better before 2010 and matte. Eh bleh hopefully lovely things come to me when I swatch today. How do you like He's My Boo and what I experimented with it? Thanks for stopping by
