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 - Showtime

Showtime! Wow! Look at this beauty glow! Definitely the sparkliest in the Gel Envy line.

This is just one coat of Showtime over High Roller. Showtime can take a few coats to build up colour on it's own.

Purple, pink, navy, red, gold... *drool*

Even glorious in the shade. 

See you shortly!

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 - 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!

Revlon Gel Envy - Dealer's Choice

I have fallen hard for Revlon's Gel Envy line. My little nails have been struggling for quite some time to grow back some length. I decided to give these polishes a go and BY GOLLY I am in love.

Dealer's Choice is one of the few Gel Envys that actually have visible shimmer. Most actually do but it's that secret shimmer that you can't really see unless the sun is blasting it's rays directly at your nails. And even then do you barely get to see the shy shimmers.

A bottle close up so you can see the shimmer!
The formula is really quite nice. I love the thick opaque formulas, it gets the job done quick stick. This is two coats shown here.

And a shade shot. So soft and so delicate.

See you soon with a bunch of Revlon Gel Envys!

Orly Baked Summer 2014: Hot Tropics


Today I have Orly's Hot Tropics for your viewing pleasure! A beautifully bright pinky-purple filled with green and golden shimmer. This is two coats I'm wearing here. The formula was really spectacular. It had the right thickness, flowed really nicely, and wasn't a 'leaker' (one that flows into your cuticles).

Orly Baked Summer 2014: Ablaze



Today I have Orly's Ablaze to show you! This was a tricky one for my camera to capture. The shade photo shows the correct colouring quite nicely. This is two coats of Ablaze shown. It has a very nice formula, slightly on the thick side - but look how gorgeous this is!

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.

Nail Juice: The Golden One Review

I have another new Nail Juice to show you! This beauty is The Golden One. A delicate peach with golden sheen. This polish really is the Golden One, it suits every skin tone! My skin can easily be made to look very yellow, and my Mum's skin, red. But this just looked stunning on each of us. Here it is shown on my Nana's nails. This is two smooth coats.


You can have your very own bottle of The Golden One! Follow the links below :)


Thank-you for reading :)

OPI The Spy Who Loved Me


Today's polish is a gorgeous red, The Spy Who Loved Me, from OPI's Skyfall holiday collection 2012. Loved Me is a bright candy apple red with a fine golden shimmer. Truly spectacular. This is two coats shown here. The formula is also beautiful to work with.
