BB Couture For Nails Zuma Wave Rider: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ BB Couture For Nails Zuma Wave Rider. 

My Thoughts:
Zuma Wave Rider is a creamy light blue nail polish with blue shimmer. It's very easy and smooth to apply, it's not sheer and it doesn't look streaky or patchy on my nails at all. Zuma Wave Rider is a fast drying, high gloss nail color, which is fully opaque in just one/two coats. It has a 4-in 1 formula. It's a base coat, top coat, nail strenghtener and color in one bottle. The consistency is actually pretty fantastic, it's not too thick or too thin :-) 

♥ BB Couture For Nails Zuma Wave Rider. 

 ♥ BB Couture For Nails Zuma Wave Rider. 

The nail polish will start to run quickly, if you have too much product on your brush. I always have a little paper tissue on the table I'm working on, so I don't spill any nail polish. The nail polish brush is quite small compared to some of the other ones that I have in my collection. I personally prefer brushes that are a little thicker, because I just find those to be a little faster and easier to work with :-) 

 ♥ BB Couture For Nails Zuma Wave Rider. 

Overall, I like Zuma Wave Rider a lot. It's a beautiful light blue polish, which is very easy to work with and the quality is very nice. Zuma Wave Rider reminds me of Essie's Bikini So Teeny, which has been on my wish list for a while now. So if you have tried both of these shades, please let me know if they are any similar :-)

BB Couture For Nails Bunny Love: Review, Photos & Swatches

 ♥ BB Couture For Nails Bunny Love. 

My Thoughts:
Bunny Love is also part of the Pastel Bunnies Collection, and it's a creamy pale lavender nail polish. It's a little sheer on the first coat, but I didn't have any problems with it looking streaky on my nails. This polish really surprised me, because light pastel shades like this tend to look very streaky and patchy on my nails. Bunny Love is very easy and smooth to apply, and it's fully opaque in two coats.

Bunny Love has a nice formula, but the consistency of the polish is a little thin. If you have too much product on the brush, it will start to run quickly. I always have a little paper tissue on the table I'm working on, so I don't spill any nail polish. The nail polish brush is quite small compared to some of the other ones that I have in my collection.

Overall, I really like Bunny Love. It's very easy to work with, the shade is gorgeous and the quality of the polish is very good. It's very similar (if not a complete dupe) to Little Girl Type by MAC, which is one of my favorite nail polishes :-)

BB Couture For Nails Bunny Boo Boo: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ BB Couture For Nails Bunny Boo Boo.

My Thoughts: 
Bunny Boo Boo is part of the Pastel Bunnies Collection, and it's a rich and creamy pastel purple nail polish with blue shimmer. I love how easy it is to apply. It doesn't streak or look patchy on my nails either, which is awesome. It's almost fully opaque in just one coat, but I used two.

Bunny Boo Boo has a nice formula, but the consistency is a little thin. If you have too much product on the nail polish brush at once, it will start to run quickly. The nail polish brush is quite small, compared to some of the other ones that I have in my collection. I personally prefer brushes that are a little thicker, because I just find those to be a little faster and easier to work with.

Paese Nail Enamel in #128: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ Paese Nail Enamel in #128.

The Paese Nail Polishes comes in a wide variety of colors with a long lasting, high gloss finish. These quick drying and hard wearing polishes provide the perfect pop of color at a surprisingly low price. Safe to use, as it does not include toluene nor formaldehyde.

♥ Paese Nail Enamel in #128.

♥ Paese Nail Enamel in #128.

My Thoughts:
Paese Nail Enamel in #128 (9ml bottle) is a creamy purple grey nail polish. It's very smooth and easy to apply, and I didn't have any problems with it looking sheer or streaky on my nails. The consistency of this shade is wonderful, not too thin or too thick which is perfect in my book. Paese Nail Enamel in #128 is quick drying, and it's fully opaque in one/two coats. 

The packaging is very simple, yet sleek and pretty at the same time. I wish that the nail polish brush was just a little bit thicker, because I think it makes the polish a lot easier to apply, but that's just my opinion.

Overall, I really like this nail polish a lot. The shade is beautiful, and it's a very appropriate shade for Fall and Winter. The quality is great, and I really like that it's only €3.00. There are so many amazing and affordable brands available, and It's nice to know that you don't have to go out and spend a lot of money on a good quality nail polish. If you are looking for a dark and opaque nail polish for Fall and Winter, I highly recommend that you check this one out :-)

 ♥ LVX Nail Lacquer in Greige.

My Thoughts:
Greige is a beautiful creme nail polish with the perfect blend of gray and brown, which is part of their Fall Winter 2012 collection. I found this shade to be extremely easy to apply. The consistency is perfect, not too thin or too thick. It didn't streak, but it was a little sheer on the first coat. It does take a few minutes to dry, and it's fully opaque in two/three coats.

I really like the square bottle. It's very simple, yet sleek and beautiful at the same time. The brush is amazing, it picks up just the right amount of product and makes the nail polish go on so smooth and so easy. These are described as rich high quality colors that give you full coverage with just one coat. I had to apply two coats, because I could still see my nails peeking through the polish after the first coat. I haven't tried any of the other LVX shades in this collection, so I can't really speak for them.

Overall, I really like this nail polish from LVX. The shade is gorgeous and I'm really impressed with the quality and how it applies. Greige is a perfect everyday shade, and it's very work appropriate too, which is always a big plus in my book :-)

ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca. 

As one of the nail care industry’s renowned color houses, ORLY introduces new collections each season to keep you en-trend and in style. ORLY La Vida Loca Nail Lacquer is free of DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and features their award-winning gripper cap for fuss-free application every time.

♥ ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca. 


 ♥ ORLY Nail Lacquer in La Vida Loca.

 My Thoughts:
La Vida Loca is a beautiful neon fuchsia nail polish with underlying blue/violet iridescence. This shade is so easy to apply. It goes on very smooth and it doesn't streak at all, but the consistency is a little thin so I had to apply a few coats to make the color look nice and opaque. La Vida Loca dries quickly and it's fully opaque in two/three coats.

La Vida Loca was recently released as part of Orly's new Valentine's Day collection called I Love Nails. La Vida Loca aren’t new, just a previously released color. I'm a huge fan of the gripper cap, it's one of the reasons why I love Orly's nail polishes so much. It gives me a much better grip, and it also makes it a lot easier to control the brush when I'm working with my nail polish.

Overall, I really like this nail polish a lot. It's such a pretty shade, and I really like how it brightens up my nails and makes them pop. La Vida Loca is a gorgeous and bright shade that's perfect for the summer, as well as for Valentine's Day. I'm looking forward to wear this during the summer, because I think it's going to look even more beautiful with a nice tan :-)

Urban Decay NAKED Nail Kit: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ Urban Decay NAKED Nail Kit. 

This irresistible nail polish kit features six of this season’s most sought-after shades in Urban Decay’s signature NAKED style. Featuring an inspired range of glitters, metallics, creams, and shimmers, each gorgeous hue proves that once again, neutral is anything but boring. This set contains 6 x 0.16 oz Nail Colors in Hustle, Naked, Smog, Toasted, Creep, Sidecar.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates

♥ Urban Decay NAKED Nail Kit.

♥ Urban Decay NAKED Nail Kit. 

♥ Urban Decay NAKED Nail Kit. 

Naked:
Naked is a beige creme nail polish with just a slight hint of shimmer. I found Naked to be a little difficult to apply, because of the thick consistency. It is a little streaky and sheer on the first coat. It dries fast and it's fully opaque in three coats. Naked is definitely a great everyday share, and it's very work appropriate as well which is always a plus :-)

Sidecar:
Sidecar is a warm nude nail polish with silver micro-glitter. I found this shade to be extremely easy to apply. I didn't have any problems with streaking, it dries fast and it's fully opaque in two/three coats. Sidecar would make a great top coat, I think it would look beautiful on top of a darker brown nail polish :-)

Toasted:
Toasted is a shimmery beige nail polish. I found this shade to be quite difficult to apply. It's not my favorite polish in this kit, and I'm not the biggest fan of the finish either. It dries quickly and it's fully opaque in two/three coats.

Smog:
Smog is a metallic copper nail polish with gold shimmer. Smog is definitely one of my favorite shades in whole this kit. It applies beautifully, and the color is so rich and pigmented. It dries quickly, and it's fully opaque in two coats.

Hustle:
Hustle is a shimmery metallic dark purple nail polish. This shade is completely dried out in the bottle, so I won't be able to tell you if I like this shade or not. I had to use my Seche Vite top coat to even out the nail polish just a little. It's almost impossible to work with, but I still wanted to show you the color. I really hope I manage to fix this, because the color is really pretty and I really want to wear it. I'm going to try and add a few drops of nail polish remover or a nail polish thinner, so we just have to wait and see how it goes. Thank you to all of you who left me your lovely advice on Twitter, I really appreciate it :-)

Creep:
Creep is a green/black nail polish with silver glitter. It's very easy to work with, but I did find it to be just a little sheer. It dries quickly, and it's fully opaque in three coats.

My Thoughts:
I love this NAKED nail polish kit by Urban Decay. The shades are very beautiful, rich and pigmented. My favorite shades in this kit are Naked, Sidecar, Smog and Creep. Toasted is a pretty shade, but I didn't quite like the finish. Hustle was completely dried out when I opened up the bottle, so I haven't been able to play around with it as much as I wanted to.

Overall, I really do like this kit. I ordered it at Sephora (via Shipito) for $26.00 which I think is a great deal for six beautiful nail polishes. I'm very impressed with the NAKED line by Urban Decay, and I really hope that they will continue to come out with more products :-)

You might like this product if:
♥ You love neutral nail polishes.
♥ You love the NAKED line by Urban Decay.

My Thoughts: 
Power Dressing is a beautiful navy blue nail polish. It's a very easy and smooth shade to work with, it's not streaky but just a little sheer on the first coat. The drying time is pretty fantastic, and it's fully opaque in three coats. I have always been a big fan of nail polishes with a creamy finish, because I just love how shiny and pretty they look and they are very smooth and easy to apply as well.

How cute is the bottle? I love the shape and the little black bow, it looks so girly and cute. I'm always such a sucker for cute packaging, I just can't help myself, ha ha! I'm really impressed with the quality of the Ciate nail polishes. If you are a really big fan of navy blue nail polishes, and you are looking for something new to try out, I highly recommend that you check out Power Dressing :)
