Orly-Rock the World

Rock the World is a polish that was on my wishlist, so naturally I'm in love with it :)  I have a soft spot for colors like these (but who doesn't love the Mineral FX collection???).  Application and formula are awesome, but removal is a pain in my booty.  Two coats, topped with SV:


Looooove.  Definitely my favorite from the collection :)

Thanks for reading!

Sinful Colors-Vacation Time

Okay, first of all, this polish in no way reminds me of vacation.  It's a nice, neutral color that reminds me of something very office/work friendly.  It actually reminds me of my mom, who loves colors like this (she thinks it's illegal to wear shimmer/glitter/metallics/brights/etc. after a certain age [ridiculous, I know]).  Anyway, this is two coats, with no topcoat.  This polish is insanely shiny on it's own :)


Nice, but nothing special.  My mom's entire polish collection of about 5 are all colors like this, so maybe I'll give it to her.

Don't forget about my giveaway!

Zoya-Meadow

Initially, I thought that Meadow was going to be a really close dupe to Essie's Your Hut or Mine?, but as it turns out, I like this one better.  I think that this is what I wished YHOM? was.  This is a more pale, true pink with gold shimmer while YHOM? is a tad more coral-y and a bit brighter.  I love you, Meadow, I really do!  Application was alright.  The formula is a tad thick and gloopy, so I had to thin it.  Very opaque, though, almost a one-coater :)



Prettyyyy.  I think I need to thin it more the next time I wear it, though.  I've only seen Meadow around the blogosphere a couple of times...I don't think she gets the credit she deserves!!

Zoya-Faye

Faye has been one of the polishes I have wanted for a really long time.  I finally got my hands on it :)  I love colors like these that have a ton of gold shimmer to them and this one really shines!  This was two coats and no topcoat:



Lovely, yes?  I want to do a comparison post soon with Faye vs. Orly's Rock the World.  They look super similar to me in the bottle :)  Let me know if you ladies want the comparison!

ELF-Sunset

Sunset is a gorgeous medium toned mauvey-purple with silver shimmer.  I don't have anything else like it in my collection and I love it :)  Formula is really good.  A tiny bit thick, but not problematic at all.  Very nearly a one-coater (probably could be if I was more careful).  No topcoat in these pictures:




A lot of people have been asking me where I get my ELF products.  I order all of my polishes from www.eyeslipsface.com, usually while they're having a bogo sale or free shipping.  I order most of the makeup online, too, but sometimes I can find stuff I like at my local Target.  I have never found polishes at Target, though :(

Do any of you guys have this one?  Do you like it?
Thanks for reading!

Orly-Savvy Mauve

Don't forget to enter my contest!!!

Savvy Mauve is another one of those polishes that I have from Orly that is really old, but really awesome.  In the bottle it looks a little boring.  But on the nails...wow!  It turns into this berry mauve color with so much intensity!  I was really impressed with this one.  Wasn't expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised.  I used two coats, no topcoat, and you can see how shiny this one is in the shade picture:




Pretty, right?  I love it.
Do you have any ancient polish gems??

Thanks for stopping by!
