Polish Haul Saturday #6

Hi guys! Aren't you all excited to see this week's new polishes? I know that I'm excited to share them with you! This post is gonna be posted a day late but I'm typing this on Saturday so.... the title is still legit. Heh. Anyway, it's been a while since I've treated myself to so many new polishes at once so without further ado, let's get to those photos!

All the six new polishes. I'm sorry for the hazy looking photo but I had to play around with the photo settings because my lighting is non-adjustable and too bright so it blinds my camera and prevents it from capturing the colour of lighter shades. The first bottle of polish is actually a pastel green which is totally not visible. From left to right, we have Essie Navigate Her, Essie Jamaica Me Crazy, Orly Boho Bonnet, China Glaze Not In This Galaxy, China Glaze Exotic Encounters and OPI DS Radiance.

Next up we have the close-ups which are as colour accurate as I can get them.

First up is Essie Navigate Her. A pretty pastel green that I can't wait to use!

Next, we have Essie Jamaica Me Crazy. This one's a fuchsia shimmer that reminds me of jewels.

Orly Boho Bonnet. A blue grey creme.

China Glaze Not In This Galaxy. I've swatched this one already. In my previous post. Here's the link if you haven't seen it: http://nailsandcolour.blogspot.sg/2013/05/second-holo.html

China Glaze Exotic Encounters. I've been lusting after this polish since it came out last year but I never bought it. Well, I finally caved in last week. Can't wait to try this one out! It's a pretty teal.

Last but definitely not the least, OPI DS Radiance. This one was a spur-of-the-moment buy but hey, one can never have enough silver polish! And it's OPI too!

What do you think of my new buys? Do you own any of them?

Polish Haul Saturday #5

Yay! So it's Saturday once again and I finally have new polish to show! I wasn't intending to buy polish but this pretty shade caught my eye while I was at Watsons. FYI, Watsons is an Asian personal care store brand so it's basically a beauty store that offers common brands. And sometimes, I can find hidden treasure like cheap nail polish that is actually of decent quality. I've never actually heard of the brand Golden Rose but I was attracted by the colour and 'one step maxi brush'. So I kinda reviewed this product which I normally don't do for my Polish Haul Saturdays but I figured since I had only one polish and I couldn't wait to try it, I might as well review it. Okay, let's move on to the photos :)

This polish doesn't have a name. There might be a name code or something but there were a lot of numbers and alphabets on the label and I couldn't figure out if any of them was it's 'name'. Maybe when I get more shades from this brand then I'll be able to figure it out! My excuse to shop more hehe ;)

Anyway, this shade is teal but it was hard to capture so my photos make the colour look more blue than it really is :/

I used 2 coats for these photos. The 'one step maxi brush' is a LIE. The brush was great! It was fat, which I like, because I get to use fewer strokes so there's less chance of messing up. The formula required at least 2 coats for full coverage unless I used one thick coat which would make spreading the polish tough. The colour is gorgeous though! I would totally wear it for a whole week if I could. However, upon removal, I found out that it stains :( And I only wore the polish for a couple of hours. I guess that might also be because I don't use base coat, I haven't picked up the habit of using a base coat yet. I will definitely try this again with a base coat and let's hope the results are better :)

Nail polish haul of the week

Morning!! So as you all know, I just started working part time... which means I'm earning and can afford to treat myself every now and then! By that I mean every week or every two weeks hehe :) For this week's nail polish haul, I got myself 3 bottles of polish and a bottle of Seche Restore for my thick and goopy Seche Vite top coat. I actually tried it immediately when I got home because I was so eager to restore my top coat and I was so happy to find that it actually works!! (I had my doubts) I was so impressed when my top coat became runny and easy to use again!

This was probably something like my reaction LOL.

From left to right: China Glaze Whirled Away, OPI Sprung, China Glaze When Stars Collide and Seche Restore.

Close-up bottle photos:

China Glaze Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away Collection. Whirled Away is black hex and bar glitter along with big white hex glitter in a clear base.

OPI Mariah Carey Collection. Sprung is described as a shimmery copper. I'm the most excited to use this colour!

China Glaze Hologram Holographic Spring Collection 2013. When Stars Collide is described as a warm maroon although it looks closer to purple to me. This is my first holographic polish so I'm pretty excited about this too :)

And that's all for my polish haul of the week! Maybe I'll start making this a weekly or fortnightly thing. What do you think? Are you excited to see any of these swatches first? :)

Six new polishes!

Hello! So today I have some new bottles of polish to show you all. I went shopping last Friday and bought some nail polish from the new collections that were released recently. I was also in luck because my friend bought me nail polish so it was a very happy nail polish day for me :)

Here I have two Nature Republic bottles, 3 China Glaze and 1 OPI. In the top row, there is APK204 and APP401. Both from Nature Republic. The 3 China Glaze polishes are all from their new collection Avant Garden. From left to right, Life Is Rosy, Fade Into Hue and Keep Calm, Paint On. The OPI A Butterfly Moment is from the Mariah Carey collection. I didn't get the liquid sands that a lot of people seem fond of because I'm not a fan of textured and matte nail polish although the colours did look quite pretty. 

This is China Glaze Fade Into Hue. It's a very pretty pastel blue in the Pastel Petals part of the Avant Garden  Spring 2013 collection. I used two coats and a top coat and my polish actually didn't chip for the three days that I wore it.
