Miss Yifi RAINBOW HIGHLIGHTER: Review & Swatches!

I like so many have fallen in love with rainbow highlighters. I've watched a few hundred DIY videos and plotted on making my own but still  haven't made the jump to making one. I did, however, find some on Amazon.If you have been around for awhile you  know I am all about a deal. While I would love the original rainbow highlighter, it has been on back order and I haven't been able to make the purchase. So I was super excited when I was contacted to review this and the naras ones as a dupe to tie me over until I can get my hands on the original.

Superchic Lacquer Swatches

 Superchic Lacquer
"Dreamology"
 
Hello everyone!
I want to share with you these intense holographic nail polishes I was sent to share with you.
I own one collection of holographic polish and they are from Color Club. After seeing these
I think I will pass on buying the 2012 set. These polishes are heaven and all you need.
My information paper said they are one coat polishes. HMMM?. I was thinking I better swatch these to find out. I thought it was total BS. Well take a look for yourself. The paper did not lie.

 Here is the whole collection consisting of 6 intense Holographic polishes. 
These retail for S10.00 US. You can use my code OPAL18 and get 10 % off at check. Free shipping on orders over $50.00. 
You can purchase these polishes separately. I would recommend the base and top coat.

 Let's Talk Polish


***R.E.M. is an intense ebony black linear holographic. I only applied 1 coat and  Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. The rainbow holographic is so pretty mixed with this black. 
I took these 3 photos out in the direct sun light.


***Realm Of Erotica is an intense racy red linear holographic. I used 1 coat and Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. Very pretty color to wear for the summer.



***No Rest For The Wicked is an intense deep emerald green linear holographic. I used 1 coat and Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. These 3 photos were taken out direct sunlight.
Not sure why but this green reminds me of Christmas.



***40 Winks is an intense deep violet purple linear holographic. I used 2 coats and Marvel Star Top Coat for these photos. These 3 photos were taken out direct sun light.

Nyx Soft matte lip cream in Havana




Purchased by me.

Now available in twelve more statement-making shades, our velvety smooth Soft Matte Lip Cream delivers a burst of creamy color and sets to a stunning matte finish. Surprisingly durable, lightweight and delightfully creamy, it’s no wonder this sweetly scented formula is a NYX fan favorite.


You can purchase here: http://bit.ly/1RqPZIU


When I heard of the new colors for this collection I knew I had to have them. I found Havanah while on vacation and I am glad I picked it up then because when I visited my local Ulta it was sold out. I love the way it feels on the lips, its matte but I don't feel like my lips are going to crack or need moisture. I can't really tell its even there. Application wise was where the issue was. It was patchy and not as opaque as I hoped. It took a few layers to get it to look the way it does in the photo but you can still see my lip color peaking through. The applicator makes it hard to get a good line on the outside so yes you will most likely need to use some concealer to clean up those lines unlike what I did for this quick photo. While I am sad about it being patchy its pretty great on its own and feels amazing and dries quickly so I would recommend it but I would also recommend some kind of liner under it.

This pallet has so many color choices to choose from. It has everything you need to make any smokey eye you could dream up. It has the nudes, some neons, and a dash of shimmer. I have both this and the matte pallet (check back in a few days for the review and swatches of that one) I would say 10 and 18 are my favorite in this pallet.

NYX wicked lippies my picks (Great for Halloween)



NYX wicked lippies my picks (Great for Halloween)

Yes these are from last year but they are amazing enough that I had to talk about them. I didn't get them until after it seemed everyone I followed online had them. In my area they sold out before I had even made my first to Ulta. So I figured now with Halloween fast approaching I would talk about these amazing lippies.

Shinespark Polish Pumpkin Spice

Disclaimer: I purchased the products mentioned in this post. This post may contain affiliate links, if clicked I may receive compensation.
 
Today I have a swatch of Shinespark Polish in Pumpkin Spice. I had every intention of adding some art to it but I just couldn't it was so pretty all on its own.  I wore this for a few days and barely had a bit of tipwear.
 
Shinespark Polish - Pumpkin Spice
 
Normally I take all my photos under my desk lamp, but holos look so much better in natural sunlight. For the swatche I used 2 coat, then topped with Seche Vite.
 
While wearing this I felt like I had dipped my nails in a pumpkin pie, its just so spot on. I am so excited for fall, this polish is perfect I will for sure be doing some fall themed nail art using this one.
 

Blurred on purpose to show the oh so pretty holo

Below I have one picture under my desk lamp, as you see this one looks very pretty no matter the light.

This polish is part of their Falling Leaves collection, which can be found here, listed individually or as the whole set. The whole set is sold out, but I saw mention on their instagram about a restock soon. I of course had to have the whole set, so look forward to seeing more soon.

The Essie watercolor collection is one I had been drooling over since a sneak peek was posted on Instagram. I was so excited when they said they would work with me on a review for this collection. The nail art themed collection idea has been very popular this year and I have had so much fun with these collections. Jelly polish has always been one of my favorite polishes and these are no exception.

Sadly you can see that my nails lost a bit of length while I was swatching. My pinky snapped and I gave in and trimmed them all down and started the swatching again. On the longer ones I alternated between white and no base but on the shorter ones I did them over a white gel polish. On highest bidder though I only used the polish with no base.

This years spring collection from SinfulColors has a whopping 24 colors! Yes I said 24 colors!!! SinfulColors is laying out a collection that will give you plenty of choices to do your nails and nail art this spring. They also include in the collection what I like to call a mini collection and there is 3 of them! I have to admit that the Bloomblast is my favorite from the Mini collections so that is why I am covering this one first!

This collection has been out since about January in some stores and I have been on the hunt.I searched multiple cities and multiple states and was unable to find them even while on vacation. So when I found out that I was going to get these for review I jumped up and down after having looked for over a month. Ironically the day before they arrived they showed up in one of my local stores. Which was awesome as I was able to pick up some extras for Connie and a few others from the collection.
