Max Factor Glossfinity Nail Polish

max factor glossfinity nail polishes

I found Max Factor Glossfinifty down at Priceline today reduced to $4.95 from $11.95, so I picked up 5 of my favourite shades. You can’t try any nail polishes at this store, no samples available so you have to go solely by the color of the bottle. Most of these polishes are not true to the color of the bottle, in fact at two coats most are much darker than I imagined. The gloss factor is great and these deep colors have a velvety look to them.

Here is a look at the nail polish swatches:

Here is a fun and flirty looking Summer 2012 collection by OPI called Minnie Mouse. I have not yet gotten my hands on but I cannot wait for it to arrive in the post. But here are some samples by others.

I am really loving that Barbie pink color. The glitter nail polish looks kinda cute but I can already tell that is going to be a bit of a hassle to apply, you always have to fish those glitter pieces out.

Do you own any of these? which one is your fav?

I would love to match up these polishes with fuchsia lipstick.

My Green Nail Polish Collection

I am really getting into green nail polish this year, so far here are all the green nail polishes I have bought for 2012.

green nail polish 2012

green nail polish

1. L’Oreal - Blue Reef

Not so much blue as the name states but more of a green in my eyes. A tealish sort of opaque colored nail polish that I like to wear when my nails are short.

2. L’Oreal – Perle De Jade

Pastel, seafoam green. Quite nice, need a few coats, at least three due to streaking.

3. L’Oreal – Majestic Green

Metallic  chartreuse green. Quite lovely, reviewed here:  Majestic Green

4. Orly – Here Comes Trouble

Pretty fine green glitter in a green tinted jelly, quite a festive polish, although part of Orly’s Pin – Up collection, me thinks it would fit better in a Xmas collection, fun but not very sexy. Reviewed here: Here Comes Trouble

5. Nubar – Green Tea

Love this amazing true green nail polish. My favourite one to wear out of the green bunch.

6. Misa – The Great Green

Nice and subtle, iridescent green polish.

7. Misa – Like It Like That

Metallic, iridescent, vivid green polish. Beetle back color, very cool

8. Rimmel – Misty Jade

Bright seafoam green polish, summery and fun. Reviewed here: Misty Jade

9. Essie – Navigate Her

Another fav, love the amazing retro enamel green, so cute! Reviewed here: Navigate Her

10. OPI – Mermaid’s Tears

A pretty, dusty, pale green. Reviewed here: Mermaid’s Tears

11. Orly – Jealous, Much?

Pastel green color, almost translucent. Reviewed here: Jealous, Much?

12. Revlon – Emerald City (matte)

Bought this because I loved the shade, but somehow I missed the fact that this is a matte nail polish, as a result not a true fan of this polish.

Jordana Haul and Swatches

jordana cheap nail polish

Couldn’t resist buying up some polishes today, luckily the colors that caught my attention were from the cheapie range Jordana.

The first is called Creamy Fuchsia and is anything but fuchsia, even if it were creamy. This is more of a salmoney hot pink, very caliente! Can’t wait for summer to wear it, I think it will look amazing against tanned skin (not so great against my dry, winter chapped hands).

The second nail polish is my favourite shade, it’s called Boy Oh Boy and is a gorgeous teal. However, I could NOT get this color to photography correctly, it always turns out much bluer and lighter in the images.

The third polish is from the Jordana Glitters range called Lunar Lights and it is a multi colored holographic glitter with larger hex glitter and tiny round glitter in a milky jelly. I just loved the sparkle. This polish smells very strongly of the type of glue I used as a kid in school. I unfortunately have to say it smelled cheap, even though the price for this one was dearer (coming in at $5.95 as opposed to $3.50 for the other two).

….and now for the pictures, please excuse the short nails, dry hands and dodgy mani. Two coats of the teal and pink and then one top coat of glitter.

L’Oreal – Mystic Blue

The final polish from the L’OREAL L’OR ELECTRIC COLLECTION this one is called Mystic Blue. This is one of those polishes that some will call blue and others will call purple, the color is amazing, like a deep velvety purplish blue. It is a very richly pigmented metallic polish, you only need two coats for full opacity. I love this polish, it reminds me of the one I wore over 15 years ago as a teenager when I went to see The Red Hot Chilli Peppers for the first time!

L’OREAL – Magic Croisette

L’OREAL – Magic Croisette blue nail polish swatch

Another awesome polish from the L’Oreal L’Or Electric collection this one is called Magic Croisette. A royal blue with a strong shimmer in a yellowy teal. A very striking metallic polish that glistens in the sunlight and looks somewhat more opaque and darker in the shade.

I used three coats for this mani, cannot complain about the formula. I really like this one, but Majestic Green from this collection is still my fav!

L’Oreal – Majestic Green

L’Oreal Paris Le Vernis L’Or Electric Majestic Green nail polish

A few days ago while leisurely strolling through Priceline I came across three gorgeous metallic nail colors from the L’Oreal L’Or Electric collection. Of course I instantly bought all three and the first one I had to try immediately was Majestic Green.

Majestic Green is a chartreuse, electric green with a strong yellow shimmer. It really glistens in the sun and the tone shifts depending on the angle. I used three coats, the formula was smooth, without much streaking, the brush was a bit too wide, I kept accidentally painting my finger. Love this color, I don’t own anything else like it.

OPI – Steady As She Rose

OPI - Steady As She Rose

Steady As She Rose by OPI is a cool dusty, greyish rose with strong lilac undertones, not much rose as the name implies but my eyes pick up more of the lilac. I enjoyed wearing this, it’s a very subtle polish that delivers a very nice and neat looking mani.

I used three coats, the formula was consistent and smooth and dried fairly quickly.  This one is one of my favourites out of the Pirates of The Caribbean Collection.

Rimmel – Cranberry Zest

Rimmel Cranberry Zest nail polish swatch

Cranberry Zest is part of the scented I Love Fruities Collection from Rimmel. It is a deep cranberry color that is quite hard to photograph. The color is much deeper than most of the shots I took, but you can still get an idea of the shade in the images below.

I used two coats, the formula was quite runny and my manicure turned out pretty dodgy. The smell is way to intense for me. Some may like it, but I could not go around with that scent wafting up my nose all day, I ended up taking it off in the evening. I also tried to jazz this polish up by adding OPI’s Pirouette My Whistle on top. Overall decent color but due to the smell I won’t be wearing this one again in a hurry.

Rimmel – Hot Shot

Hot Shot by Rimmel is part of the  I Love Lasting Finish Collection. This is a great hot pink that is very warm and lustrous. I am using this one in winter but I can imagine this looking fab in the summer against tanned skin. Like the other Rimmel polishes on this blog, I scored this one for a bargain at Big W for $1.84 (usually retails at $5 something). I love good bargains in nail polish, cannot go past them.

The formula in this is okay, a bit thicker than the others I tried from the same line and you can see the thickness of the polish in the image above. I used two coats and it dried fairly quickly.
