Jade Jump

   

    • Very pigmented and was opaque in two coats.
    • Comes very close to China Glazes For Audrey and Revlon Minted (possible dupe for them)
    • Great consistency of formula and very smooth application, mostly because of the wide and flat brush.
    • No chipping but started to wear off after a day or two at the edges which could also be because of Seche Vite as top coat which does shrink nail polish.
Base Coat- OPI Natural Nail base coat
Colors used: 3 coats SH Insta-Dri Jade Jump
Top Coat - Seche Vite

Revlon Mini Collections Cool set

Revlon recently came launched two sets of mini nail polishes and they are absolutely perfect!!! Nothing bout these sets is wrong...the size of the bottle, the color choice, and lastly the nail paint itself. Such a perfect way to try out all these cool summer shades :D

Color: Waterfall 
  • It is a mix of baby blue and silver/light blue shimmer which gives it a slight sheen or mirror like effect without being holographic or chromatic.
  • 3 coats to go opaque-No dragging, streaking or bald spots
  • Smooth consistency and the brush glides smoothly around the edge to wrap the nail with color
  • Top coat- Seche Vite
Color: Garden
  • A bright green apple green without being too neon-y or too light green
  •  2 coats to go opaque-a solid base color with no shimmer, glitter or pearly sheen.
  • No dragging, streaking or bald spots
  • Very similar to Orly Green Apple
  • Smooth consistency and the brush glides smoothly around the edge to wrap the nail with color
  • Top coat-Seche Vite 
  
Color: Sparkle
  • It is a small silver based glitter set in Clear jelly with a tiny mix of bigger hexagonal holographic glitter
  • Best used as a 2 layers of top coat for either of the colors in the set
  • 3 coats to cover most of the nail with glitter-4 thick coats for the nail bed to not show (Too long to dry)
  • Slightly thicker consistency but smooth application and dries rather quickly between numerous coats
  • No top coat

Nice stems mini set by OPI

  
Index finger: I lily Love you
Middle finger: Play the peonies
Ring finger: Come to Poppy
Pinky finger: Be a Dahl-ia Won't you?

This is a perfect summer collection from OPI. All the pinks are different from one another and a perfect shimmery chunky glitter makes the collection complete.

  • Very smooth application with very little dragging. 
  • I Lily Love you- a perfect pink jelly based glitter with big hexagonal glitter, small holo glitter and silver glitter. Takes 4 coats to go opaque.
  • Come to Poppy- A blend of coral, pink and a tiny hint of orange with slight gold shimmer mixed into (only shows in certain light-doesn't shine through on the nail)
  • Play the Peonies-An off white egg shell color with a shimmery sheen to it, needs 3 coats to go opaque
  • Be a Dahl-ia Won't You?- The bright eye catching mesmerizing punch of color from this iridescent pink fuchsia with  fuchsia colored shimmer. 2 coats to go opaque, 3 coats for deep rich color

Base Coat- OPI Natural Nail base coat
Colors used: 3 coats of I Lily love you (My absolute favorite), Come to Poppy, Be a Dahl-ia won't you, Play the Peonies
Top Coat - Seche Vite
