Revlon Gel Envy - Jackpot

Jackpot... the black sheep of the Gel Envy line. It's the only frost/chrome in its family and I'm not too sure that's a good thing.

The creme shades we're familiar with in the Gel Envy line really makes Jackpot quite the oddball. I'm a sucker for golds and even I feel Jackpot is not the gold for me. It somehow looks quite thick, thicker than the others... I'm not too sure what to make of Jackpot.

 See you again soon with more Gel Envys!

China Glaze Hang Ten-toes

Welcome to China Glaze's Hang Ten-toes! This is very similar in regards to formula as Life's a Beach. The formula has fantastic opacity and is very smooth overall. I'm wearing two coats here.

You can follow Nail Juice on Facebook!

China Glaze Life's A Beach

And here is China Glaze's Life's A Beach! I love the name on this one. This is a really nice and opaque formula for a neon. Very smooth and very shiny! It dries matte as you can see in the pictures. As this one was tricky for the camera to capture, the shade photo shows the colour more correctly.

OPI Give Me The Moon

Today I have an old favourite to show you, OPI's Give Me The Moon! Moon was released in a Night Brights collection, I say a few years ago, but I feel it was around 2007. This was also the collection that My Private Jet was released with.

I am wearing two coats here. You can see it is quite sheer. I think it would look amazing layered over a creme grey! That blue shimmer just shines. And it's very visible in all lighting situations.

I'm not sure if this is a part of OPI's main line of polishes, but it is certainly very easy to find online.

SOPI Happy Earth Day to Me!

I've got an oddball for you today, Sephora by OPI's Happy Earth Day to Me! Earth Day is a yellow toned brown with a green-golden shimmer. A very earthy colour indeed. This is two coats shown here. The formula is very nice on this one, not too runny and easy to control.

OPI Don't Talk Bach To Me!

 Alright! I've got OPI's Don't Talk Bach To Me! to show you! One of my all-time favourites. I had lost this one for a little while, my sister found them in the car and returned them to me with a disappointed face lol. Bach is from OPI's Germany collection last year. I think I have only one other, My First Knockwurst, from the collection.

This is two thin coats worn here. I just love it! Such a bizarre colour. I love wearing Bach with navy and black clothing.

Bonus pic!

This is the flat's new doggy, Tink! She was out taking photos with me, running around and when I looked up she stopped in her tracks hehe 

OPI Tomorrow Never Dies

This little beauty is Tomorrow Never Dies from OPI's 2012 Holiday collection called Skyfall. It was released along side the new James Bond film, Skyfall.

This is two coats shown here. Never Dies is a perfect indigo! Depending on your skin tone it will lean more blue or more purple. In the sunlight Never Dies is actually a little frosty/metallic looking! 

The formula was a little on the watery side, it was hard to control. But easy enough to fix up with ear buds and remover. Despite the wateriness, Never Dies gives very good coverage.

A very similar colour is OPI's Into The Night from the Spiderman collection also released in 2012. Into The Night is more steel-blue and not so purple.

Color Club Back To Boho Collection

This is the darker half of Color Club's Back to Boho collection, released for Fall/Autumn 2011. Boho chic is a cross between bohemian and hippy fashion, in a nutshell. Back To Boho offers you a whole Autumn/Fall nail wardrobe of vintage shades.

Left to right: Speedy Top Coat, Blue-topia, Voodoo You Do, Boho Mojo, Artsy Crafty, Nouveau Vintage and Rebel Spirit.

Boho Mojo

This reminds me of those beautifully designed art nouveau silver mirrors. I am not sure if it is what I was using as a base or not, but Boho Mojo was really watery. This is three thin coats shown here.

Nouveau Vintage

This is one of the most bizarre polishes I have come across! It's brown but green but gold but bronze...all in a sheer maroon base! This really is the image of vintage though, isn't it? It reminds me of old wooden furniture with brass hinges and handles.

Voodoo You Do

A deep gunmetal grey shimmer/frost. To me this gunmetal grey leans a little on the teal or green side of things. I feel like it was pulling my red, yet very subtle lobster tones out.

Artsy Crafty

Artsy Crafty is a great bottle green creme. Such a classy looking nail polish! Mum snagged this one as soon as she sore it! She decided to get rid of OPI Jade is the New Black because she loved this one so much more. Really smooth formula.

Rebel Spirit

When I had first tried this on at night, I thought my dreams had come true! A dark charcoal jelly! But when I tried it again in the day time, it was more of a really dark charcoal chocolate and not so jelly. It is very shiny though! I still like it. Nice smooth formula here too.

Blue-topia

Blue-topia is a very vivid navy. It does dry a lot darker than when first applied. Mum tried it on after me and we couldn't believe we were wearing the same colour! Just a nice rich deep blue navy jelly.

Speedy Top Coat

I cannot express in words how blown away I am by this top coat! But I will try. We've all tried heaps and heaps of top coats and as the days go by you get weary of having to try something new. After trying Essie's assorted embarrassments called top coats, I didn't have high hopes for Speedy. 


But as my manicure dried and the day went on, the mind blowing just got better and better! It dries really quickly, doesn't let any denting happen, no sheet marks the morning you wake up... I'm really pleased with it. I have even chosen it over Seche Vite many times.

New Zealanders can purchase the set here, from USA Nails Online for $34.50!

Jessica Shopping on Rodeo

Today we have Jessica's Shopping on Rodeo. This was picked up by my mum at the beauty expo. I haven't really seen Jessica around really. The guys running the business didn't seem to keen on keeping Jessica going. It's a shame because the polishes are really pretty and have a great formula.

Rodeo could be a one coater. It so could be. I only did two because I couldn't get my shaping right on the first go. The formula is something else. It is to die for. Amazing coverage, so smooth and easy to maneuver.


I did a manicure for mum not too long ago and she let me choose the colour, I chose Shopping on Rodeo. I don't think I have ever done a manicure that quick before. It was amazing!

Rodeo freaked out my camera a little bit. It is a bright fuchsia pink with an even brighter frost, along with scattered silver glitter. I didn't think the sparkles were going to work but they are a nice little surprise. Rodeo glows, radiates, illuminates... under any light source too.

Mum has two more Jessicas for me to review, so keep an eye out :)
