Sephora by OPI Charge It! Swatch (NOTD) & Review

2 coats:

How many coats did I use?

2

How was drying time?

Super quick!! :D Thumbs ups Sephora by OPI!! :D

Wearing time?

Pretty good! Pictures show 2 days wear. By the 3rd say still minimum wearing.

Would I repurchase?

I like this colour, but not love. It is a subtle colour, and I ahve only worn it once so I may love it in the future.

We will see!! For now, now, but I would love to try more Sephora by OPIs! :D

Have you tried Sephora by OPI nail polishes?

What did you think?

Essie Case Study Swatch & Review (NOTD)

* I used 2 really thick coats

* definately not a one-coater

* formula was a bit difficult to work with

* a dupe for this shade could be Sally Hansen's Extreme Wear in Flirt (IMO)

* perhaps this shade would look better if it didn't look so black in low lighting =(

What do you think of this shade?

Sephora by OPI Nonfat Soy Half Caff Swatch & Review

How many coats did I use?

OMG.... 5-6 coats!!

How was the formula?

TOO thin & watery for my tastes. It is a sheer - EXTREMELY SHEER nail polish.

How was the drying time?

Too long for my liking. I am impatient hahah!

How is the shade?

I think this shade would be a perfect office shade. It looked a bit weird on me though,so I owuld say if you were a bit tanner, it would be the perfect nudey colour! :D

Where can I purchase this from?

The USA. I got this as a birthday gift from my friend who went to the States :D She also got me 2 more, so look out for them in future posts! :D

Would I repurchase this?

NOOOOOOOOOO! WAY too thin. Not worth it!!

Chanel 475 Dragon - Classic Red NOTD

How many coats did I use?

2 coats of colour

Please note...

These swatches/photos are after 3 days of wear!

How is the formula and coverage?

-Can be opaque in 1 coat! Amazing coverage! I did 2 coats out of habit :D

- A bit thick but, better than a 5 coater... lol!

- Brilliant formula

- Relatively fast drying time

How was the wear?

- Chanel formulas tend to last a while on me with relatively less tip wear than other brands :)

- Amazingly I can get 7 days wear out of a mani with Chanel sometimes!

- Usually other brands last me only a few days, so I think it makes the price of Chanel worth it because it stays on so long!! :D

- I change it before 7 days sometimes though because of course there is some tip wear (that is minimal tip wear) - but not many chips though (about 2 or 3?). If it was another brand, there would be heaps of tip wear and so many more chips!

- I am pretty OCD about my nails though, and me having the smae colour on with heaps of tipwear is just something I would not like! But the tip wear after 7 days for Chanel is sometimes still really okay.

- Oh Chanel.... it is LOVE! <3

Packaging?

- LOVE the cute as bottle hahaha ^^

Price?

AU$39 a bottle

Like or love?

- I LIKE the colour - but not so sure if I LOVE it (esp. for the price!)!

Also...

- It is a classic saturated red

- It leans brown on my skin

Would I repurchase?

In this shade? Probably not, but I am a Chanel nail polish lover so others for sure! :)

What do you think? Would you wear this shade?

OPI Sparrow me the drama - Swatches & Review

OPI Sparrow me the drama

3 coats

VERDICT: Lovely pink shade!

This is what I wanted OPI Dim Sum Plum to look like (still need to post up NOTDs & swatch of that! :))

It was a bit sheer, 3 coats to full opacity.

Lovely to wear

I got complements on it from several people! :D

I am wearing this as a pedi too!! :D

One of my favourite pinks!! It is very toned down - not too barbie pink!

What do you think? Yay or nay?
