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

Green is the color

So yes, GREEN is one of my favorite nail polish color!! (in any form-shimmer, glitter, holo, flakies) I picked up these 3 shades from Sally Hansen SALON line at a local sale and I was very pleased with my haul =D
Sallly Hansen Salon-Project Runway               
                                   

 










  • A dark green (closet color match would be China Glaze Watermelon Rind) almost like a mix of dark British racing green and Pine green.
  • Tons and tons of golden shimmer in the mixture and I can't tell you how beautiful the shimmer looks...it shines at every angle and adds such a depth to the polish....love love love the shimmer!
  • Great application with a very formula, only down side :( is that the brush is really small or narrow and takes a couple extra strokes to get even coverage.
Base Coat- OPI Natural Nail base; 3 coats of project runway.
Top Coat of Seche Vite doesn't affect the shimmer one bit...yay !


Sally Hansen Salon Honeydew










  • Honey dew as the name says it...is a dewy Jade green.
  • 2 coats to be opaque but 3 coats really shows the color at its best.

Sally Hansen Salon Forsythia


Hmm how do I describe this color..it's a murky Yellow at its best or a dull Pear at its worst!
  • Takes 2 coats to go opaque and application was smooth.
  • A very subtle iridescent  white/pearly shimmer is in the bottle although it doesn't show on the nail.

Nail Junkie according to Sinful Colors...




A beautiful deep color...Looks like I'm staring into a picture or 3D.

  • Base is a sheer aqua-green jelly with equal mix of fine green shimmer, golden glitter and round holo specks.
  • Application was so smooth but it took 3 generous coats for the color to darken and some what hide the VNL. 
  • Being 3 coats there was no chipping or rough edges after 3 days of wear.
  • A definite must have as it is but I've read that this comes close as a *dupe* for China Glaze Atlantis with CG Atlantis having a more a opaque finish with just 2 coats.
  • No top coat to let the holo specks really shine...
