Lilacquer, Roo-Bee Rhod!.

Lilacquer, Roo-Bee Rhod!. 1 coat over:

Tip Tip NailChic, Peach Crisp (907)



The Indie polish makers love to do lines based off of their favorite movies, books, TV shows, etc. I think it’s a great way for them to express themselves and make unique combinations. Lilacquer’s Fifth Element Collection really caught my eye; they are unique in that they are shimmery duochromes and don’t contain any glitter. To be honest I’m kinda over glitters at the moment. I think we were so submersed in them that I made myself sick, like when you eat too much cake. LOL

More after the jump...

I really love the movie too. Mila is an amazing action heroine; anything she’s in I go bananas for. How many of you saw my Resident Evil mani on my Facebook Page? Anyways, I just had to get a few of these polishes. Roo-Bee Rhod! is one of my favorite colors; Orange. The duochrome shifts to pink and a golden yellow.

After playing with RBR on a nail wheel I noticed it’s a little sheer and that it was best to layer it over a base color. Black undies will give you a very pronounced shift in colors, but my preference was to use a base color that would enhance the base color of RBR.


You can see some of the yellow shift in this one...

...shifting from yellow to pink... 

... shifted to pink...


...and now it looks like more of a burnt orange.

I love this photo because you can see a little bit of everything... the orange, yellow and a hint of pink.

The formula is thick and I had a little difficulty using it. I ended up adding 3 drops of Zoya, Renew but it didn’t really do anything. The thickness caused me to have coverage issues so I had to go back over it and I experienced some dragging. I did my right hand first to get familiar with application and then I did my left (the hand I photograph) using caution and care. It dried quickly and to a satin finish so I sealed it with a coat of Seche Vite. It turned out pretty good. It is a bit frosty but I enjoy the effect of the duochrome. I look forward to trying some stamping with this.

I love that I can post multiple pictures in one post now… Using Facebook I had to cut and paste multiple pictures into one so this is a breath of fresh air.

Halloween is coming; anyone out there going to dress up as Leeloo in her white tape outfit? I actually met a gal who dressed up like that quite a few Halloweens ago… I was in awe of her confidence.

Awesome bottleshot!

    Hi Kelly!

    This is stunning! This is beautiful for fall, or anytime.

    That is funny that you said too much glitters made you sick.

    Have you seen varnishedvalkyrie's 53 coats of polish? She said she felt sick after applying that much polish.

      Thanks!

      I haven't seen it... Will look it up though...

      It's funny cause I just wore a glitter so I guess I'm back to liking glitter again. Ha! :-)

Salon Perfect, Kaboom and Shocked.

Image
I've got two of the new Neon Collision polishes from Salon Perfect. Kaboom. 3 coats. Shocked. 3 coats. On a trip to my local Walmart I got super lucky and found an enormous cardboard display the size of a SmartCar full of these Salon Perfect polishes. Because it is so rare to find a full collection/display at my particular Walmart, I went ahead and bought all 6. For me that's really not that crazy because I love matte glitter. Plus, the price point is excellent; $3.99 ea. However, I did post a picture as I was standing in the checkout line stating I needed an intervention. Soon after that I put myself on a No-Buy. No polish purchases until July 12th. Then, I will reward myself... Hee Hee Hee. The formula on these is tricky. Let's start with Kaboom; an awesome mix of blue and lime green matte glitters. This resembles a popular indie we all know and love called 'Floam' . It's probably the Holy Grail of polish. I don't own it but I own some of the o...

China Glaze, Red Satin.

China Glaze, Red Satin. 3 coats.  Sunlight.  I've been a little obsessed with red polish lately. It all started when I was looking for a good red polish and I realized that a good chunk of my red collection was not cruelty free. So, I began my hunt to find cruelty free replacements. Luckily, we have a huge surplus of great reds in current collections. Red Satin is one of the reds I decided to add to my collection. It came from China Glaze's Holiday 2012 Collection with quite a few other great reds. This one is a bit different because it is a jelly finish. It gives a nice squishy appearance on the nail yet builds up to opacity nicely in 3 coats. I highly recommend letting each coat dry thoroughly before adding the next. The formula is a little on the thin side and you need to be careful in application to avoid pooling at the cuticle. Dry time did take significantly longer due to the need for 3 coats, but I kind of feel it was worth it. Red Satin looks quite similar to...

Review: Cover FX BB Gel, Mattifying Anti-Blemish Treatment.

Image
It's always been a battle for me to find a good foundation. Between adult acne, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, under eye circles, deep lines, and an Oily T-Zone... I'm screwed. Ha! Ha! Sorry, you just gotta laugh. I mean, if I ever find anyone with more going on I would have no choice but to cry for them. I also have the annoying issue of my skin sometimes deciding to change its mind during season changes. I can go 6 months with incredibly oily skin and then wake up one morning with my skin so tight and dry it feels like it's about to tear. I sometimes battle dry patches on my chin and by my lips. Which makes no since because I always wear lip balm, moisturizer, and my T-Zone is often so oily you can oil up a hinge with the oil on my face by 3pm.  I've been hearing raving reviews all over the blogosphere about Cover FX products so when I heard they were coming out with this new BB Gel I instantly knew I would be ordering it.  Now, this product is not cheap at $4...
