Hunger Games - China Glaze Capitol Colors - Riveting and Dress Me Up

Tonight, I am bringing you two colors from the China Glaze Capitol Colors collection.  This collection was inspired by the book series The Hunger Games, which also has a movie releasing tonight at Midnight est!  The collection consists of 12 colors and you can see the China Glaze Press Release here.

The first color is Riveting, this is an bright orange shimmer and one of my favorites of the collection.  I used 3 thin coats for this swatch.  It went on easy and smooth, I am sure to wear this color many times this summer.

The 2nd color is Dress Me Up, it is a rosy pink cream and was opaque in 2 coats...I could have almost gotten away with 1 coat.  As you can see it dried to a very pretty color and would look good with most skin tones.

I have not read the books, but I will go see the movie, what are your plans?  The two colors above was provided to me by China Glaze for my unbiased review.  I will bring you more of this collection this week, so stay tuned!

Dior Psychedelic Orange Review - Dior Day Blogger Linkup

Image
Hi Everyone! I am back to blogging finally!  Thanks for all your patience through a very rough time in my life.  Back in July 2013, I flew to Las Vegas for Cosmoprof North America.  One of my favorite things to do after the show was to go shopping at The Forums Shops At Caesars .  One of the first shops I went into was Dior, I was hooked immediately.  I did not have any Dior Beauty products so I purchased my first polish, Psychedelic Orange and a lip pencil to match.  Since then, my Dior collection has increased by 2 or 3 more polishes and a Gel Top Coat which I love! I chose today to finally show you this polish because a group of bloggers are linking together for Dior Day Blogger Linkup.  Psychedelic Orange is almost a jellish cream polish.  I used 3 coats above and you can still see a little VNL, but this doesn't bother me one bit.  Even though it didn't need it I did top it with one coat of the Dior Gel Coat, which is my favorite top coat...

Nfu-Oh Aqua Base...Worth it? Necessary?

Image
Tonight I was doing swatches of some holographic polishes that I haven't tried yet. Nfu-Oh's, Essences from Europe and BK's from Hong Kong. And the question that keeps coming up, is the Nfu-Oh Aqua Base really necessary? Isn't there a cheaper easier to access brand available? I've seen this asked more than anything else recently and it even came up in our Nail Polish and Gossip Group on Facebook. I'm going to let you answer this question for yourself, here are pictures I took, all using Nfu-Oh #66 Green Holographic polish. On the first picture, on my thumb, middle and pinky finger, I used the Nfu-Oh Aqua base coat, on the ring and pointer finger I used another well known brand of base coat. This is one coat of polish and I didn't clean up since I was taking it right back off. You can click the pictures to enlarge. I only used one coat, I didn't want to waste any more of this beautiful polish, but you can tell it does not play well with...
