OPI Venice Fall Winter 2015 - Purple Palazzo Pants

Purple Palazzo Pants is from OPI's Venice collection released for Fall/Winter 2015. This is one of those tricky shades that are right in between colours, Palazzo being right on the cusp of purple and pink. This means that depending on the undertones in your skin colour, Palazzo will either lean more pink or more purple. With my yellow undertones it shows its more purple side. I adore these pink/purple/mauve shades and am finding myself forever crafting them when mixing polishes. The formula is just fabulous and only needs two thin coats for full coverage.

OPI Venice Fall Winter 2015 - Tiramisu For Two

Tiramisu for Two is from OPI's latest collection, Venice. Anybody who knows me knows that nudes are one of my absolute favourite shades to wear. Nude shades always look so crisp, clean, fresh, and are appropriate for every occasion. The formula is absolutely fantastic on this one, only needing two thin coats for coverage. Tiramisu reminds me of the three nude shades that came out with their Japanese collection a few years ago.

OPI Venice Fall Winter 2015 - A Great Opera-tunity

A Great Opera-tunity is from OPI's Venice collection for Fall/Winter 2015. This is the perfect salmon shade every collection needs! It goes on so incredibly smooth and only needs two thin coats for full coverage. What I like most about Opera-tunity is that it's an all year-round shade. I also like that it just has that little bit of punch to it that stops it from being a 'my nails but better' shade.

OPI Venice Fall Winter 2015 - I Cannoli Wear OPI

I Cannoli Wear OPI is from OPI's Venice collection. Cannoli is a very light blue toned white/grey. It's formula is nice and thick and gives complete opacity at two coats. It makes for a great base colour for nail art! I will be using this one heaps for my nail art projects.

OPI Venice Fall Winter 2015 - O Suzi Mio

O Suzi Mio is from OPI's most recent collection inspired by Venice. This shade is a glorious deep purple totally opaque in two thin coats. The formula was perfection. It is dark enough to look 'just dark' in certain lights, but is fairly obviously purple in the daylight. Dark purples are an all time favourite of mine, so it's an instant hit with me.

Revlon Gel Envy - All Or Nothing

 

All or Nothing - another surprise favourite! This one definitely didn't take my fancy at first glance, but once I had tried it on, it looked like that beautiful fresh linen white. Beautiful, a nice fresh shade for Summer.

All or Nothing is a pink toned white. Depending on your skintone, it may look more white or more pink.

Another fab formula from the Gel Envy line. This is two coats worn here. Three gives you full coverage, no visible nail line.

See you again soon!

Revlon Gel Envy - Checkmate

Checkmate, my very first Gel Envy. Where it all began! I looked into the Gel Envy line because I was tired of my little nails never getting to grow. Between Checkmate and High Roller (dark purple) - I wore these two shades weeks on end. A month later here I am, very happy with my nail length.

Two smooth as butter coats. Another beautiful formula in the Gel Envy line. Checkmate is one of my favourite nudes of all time.

The perfect shade for when you're trying to grow your little nails out!

See you again shortly with more Gel Envy!

Revlon Gel Envy - High Roller

High Roller was one of my first Gel Envys, and I am so glad because I have worn this shade for weeks on end. I adore it!

Super smooth formula, again with hidden blue shimmer which shines in direct sunlight.

The bottle shows quite a strong blue flash - which I was a bit iffy about, but swatches online reassured me that it did look like a creme finish.

This colour looks quite black in most lighting situations, but compared to black, High Roller is that little bit softer.

Revlon Gel Envy - Cardshark

Well, how adorable is this little sweetie? Usually bubblegum pinks look horrid on me, but Cardshark has just enough blue in it to make it quite suitable for us yellow folk!

Cardshark went straight to my Top 10. Something I noticed when editing the photos is that there is actually hidden shimmer in Cardshark (and most creme Gel Envys for that matter) yet it's barely visible. Why do they do this?

Two coats worn here. Two fabulous, dreamy, smooth, buttery coats.

See you again soon with more Gel Envys!

Revlon Gel Envy - Full House

Full House - a gorgeous neon turquoise. Another stunner from the Gel Envy line! The perfect shade for summer, I reckon.

Another beautifully smooth and thick formula, a familiarity within the Gel Eny line. Two coats used here. You could get away with one coat - that's how opaque Full House is!

Looks so soft and dusty in the shade!

See you again soon with more Gel Envys!

Revlon Gel Envy - Joker's Wild

Joker's Wild is one of my absolute favourites from the Gel Envy line. I usually struggle to pull off oranges with my yellowy skintone, but this orange... WOWEE! Even the man commented that this is the perfect orange for me.

The formula is fantastic. Nice, thick and opaque. I used two coats here.

See you again soon with more Gel Envys!

China Glaze You Drive Me Coconuts

Out of all the neon polishes Mum and I bought, this was Mum's favourite. China Glaze's You Drive Me Coconuts! A beautiful bright pink neon with a squishy appearance. I am wearing two coats here. The formula was very smooth and was very easy to use.
