Review: Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat

I just have to say one thing. Wow. I LOVE this top coat.



Picture of the bottle (taken from google)

I painted my hands with China Glaze Good Witch? with two thick layers. I didn't wait for them to dry and I put on one coat of Seche Vite. Good Witch? is a dazzling pink glitter but it does leave a bit of a gritty texture on your nails. Usually with my normal Sally Hansen top coat I have to wait for the layers of varnish to dry and then put on two coats of top coat to get it smooth. With Seche Vite I used one coat and it made it silky smooth. By the time you have put top coat on all fingers I guarantee that the nail varnish will be dry. Overall, this top coat is amazing and has no magor flaws. The only thing I noticed is that it has a strong smell and gives a bit of shrinkage at the tip of the nail but i can put up with that. I would recommend that you buy this top coat.

Hello,
On 15th June it was my birthday. That means I now have a few more nail varnishes to review so this is kinda a haul/coming soon post.
Anyway, I got:
China Glaze - 108 Degrees, Blue Iguana, Papaya Punch, Cha Cha Cha, Broken Hearted.
Orly - Space Cadet.
OPI - Russian Navy.
After this I then ordered more nail varnishes with my birthday money. I got:
China Glaze - Pom Pom, Endurance, Encouragement, Empowerment.
Seche Clear & Seche Vite.
Then my friend asked me to review some of my China Glaze collection which is:
China Glaze - Swing Baby, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, Turned Up Turqouise, Frostbite, Coconut Kiss, White Cap.
I will try to do them all, no promises. I will probably get some more nail varnishes soon. Oh, did I mention that Space Cadet is my first Orly nail varnish? Well, it is. Super excited to do a full mani with it. Look forward to posting as soon as i can. KraziGirli

My First OPI Is....

Yes, the time has finally come for you to find out which nail varnish I got. Can you guess from this picture?



Yes, my first OPI is Teal The Cows Come Home.







My first impressions? I love OPI yet I think that China Glaze is still my favourite nail varnish. This nail varnish has a lovely formula and dried rediculousy fast. It is a beautiful colour but I did get a bit of cuticle drag on my right hand. Oh well, my best hand is ALWAYS my left. Anyway, I am glad I picked Teal The Cows Come Home. It is beautiful and has an AWESOME name too. Oh, how it made me chuckle when I picked it up. Took my friends a while to get it though.. Sorry it didn't come earlier but I had a bit of trouble when I fell off a horse and hurt my arm, I waited a while so it would at least look decent. Well, I already have my eye on the many next OPIs to come. See you next time.

My First OPI

Yes, yes, yes. That is right dear readers, I have finally bought my FIRST OPI nail varnish. Even though I have plenty of other brands I could never really afford OPIs where I live, but I finally got my first one in Sallys. Awesome days when you get your first. I will do a post on it soon as it is a school day so I can't paint my nails :( You will just have to wait until that post to find out what colour I got...

Nail Varnish Reviews. A Lot of Them.

Well Hello, Dearest Readers,
To start the new year I am going to be doing a ton of reviews of the nail varnishes I got in the month of December. I'm warning you now, there are a lot so they may not be in the same post.
The first varnishes are from a brand called Sienna, which I think is a UK exclusive brand but I'm not sure. Unfortunatly, these do not have names.





This is a nice bronzey colour which has gold micro glitter in it. It has a frost finish and is unlike anything in my collection.





This is a cool reddish orange colour with gold micro glitter in it. Also a frost finish, takes quite a while to dry unlike the other one and both have a nice smooth finish for glitter varnishes.

My next brand is Miss Sporty. With these I'm not 100 percent sure if the names are right so I put the codes with them.





I think this is Miss Sporty Paparazzi (326). It is a hot pink varnish with a creme finish and only needs one coat. It does need a base coat as it can stain your nails. Overall it is quite unique as it isn't the standard hot pink as it is a bit lighter.





This one is Miss Sporty Flash Dance (105). It is a light pinkish purple colour with holographic glitter in it which my camera didn't pick up well. It is suprisingly opaque on the first coat but has a gritty finish so you need at least 2 coats of top coat.





This is Miss Sporty Intimatley (450). It is an eggplant colour with a very noticable purple duochrome. Unfortunatly, after three coats it was still really patchy so I left is as I don't like applying more than three coats on my swatch wheel and because of this I have been very hesitant to wear it.

The next varnishes came in a pack which I got for Christmas. I couldn't find a brand name on them but I have the names of the polishes.





This is Dusty. It is a reddish pink coolour with micro gold glitter. It has a smooth finish and is very pretty and unique.





This is Coral, the colour is true to its name with a gold duochrome. Not that unique but still nice.




This is Plum. A clear base with hot pink, light pink and silver micro glitter in it. Has a gritty finish but it is worth the trouble for this gorgeous colour.




This is Universe. Mid-tone purple with holographic glitter. My favourite colour out of all of them. So gorgeous.




This is Gun Metal. Charcol colour with holographic glitter. Super unique.




This is Dusk. It is a beautiful silver with, yes you guessed it, holographic glitter.




This is Ivory. White with yet more holographic glitter.




This is Ruby. Clear base with hot pink, teal, gold and silver micro glitter. Super unique.




This is Bright Silver. Silver base with silver glitter. Good dupe for China Glaze The Ten Man.




This is Eggplant Frost. Similar to Miss Sporty Intimatley but has better coverage. Eggplant purple with teal and purple micro glitter.




This is Magenta. It is a dusty rose pink with holographic glitter. I love this one.




Last but not least is Mission. Hot pink with silver and pink micro glitter.

For the ones in the set they are all truer to colour in the pictures of the bottles. They all needed two coats and the glitter ones needed more to get completley opaque. Overall it is a really unique set and worth picking up but once again I think it may be a UK exclusive. I know you can get it in Boots. Thanks for reading this if you did read all of it.

China Glaze Foxy Review

Hello Readers,
Today I am going to review one of my favourite China Glaze colours. It is from the Vintage Vixen collection, which I was pretty excited about from the pictures I had seen online already but in person the polishes are almost indescribable because they are so unique and amazing. Anyway, on to the pictures. (They so do not to this polish justice.)








Foxy is very hard to write about as it is so unique and unlike any colour I own. I managed to come to the conclusion that it is a burgundy frost with red, orange and gold shimmer in it. In the bottle it actually looks brighter than it is on nails but I prefer darker polishes anyway so I was happy about that. In the sun it becomes a brighter red with flashes of gold in it but because of where I live the day I took the swatches I had no sun unfortunately so I can’t show you how amazing this polish really is. It took two coats to get it opaque and dried quite quickly. However, in direct light you can see the streaks from the brush, which I wasn’t too keen on but amazing colours like this have to have flaws. It doesn’t chip easily but stays tacky for a while so you need to set aside a time when you can paint your nails where you can leave them for a while. Overall this polish is amazing and worth the money, it only has one flaw and the colour is amazing. I am defiantly going to try and get the rest of the collection. Talk to you soon,
KraziGirli 

Rimmel London Fruities Polish Review

Hey guys,
Sometime last week I bought two of the Rimmel London Fruities nail polishes but the shop I went to didn't have all of them in stock so I picked up the two that they had and I thought that I would do a review on them for you. They are called Cranberry Zest (066) and Lemon Drop (058).





Above is a swatch of Lemon Drop, I thought this was a cool colour because it was the only yellow I had like it. It is a pastel yellow and is very pretty. Really the colour is the only thing good about it. It is very sheer, which I expected, so it took four coats to get it to look decent and even then I didn't like it very much. It takes for ever to dry and stays tacky for ages so you can't do much while it's drying so I would recommend painting your nails while watching a movie or something. It also is very patchy even on the fourth coat which I didn't like. It smells nice, fresh and lemony, but it is very faint even on the fourth coat and only stays like that for an hour or so until you wouldn't know it was a fruit smelling polish. Also when applying it is smells stronger than all of the nail polishes I have so I would recommend having the window open so you don't get a headache. Also it chips a lot and with these polishes you arn't supposed to put a top coat on because it masks the smell so I thought it was really bad because they are supposed to be chip resistant. A plus is that it comes off really easily.




Above is a swatch of Cranberry Zest, The colour isn't very unique which I was disapointed at. It is a redish pink colour. It is very opaque, which I wasnt expecting as I had tried Lemon Drop firsy, I did two coats because I have long nails but people with short nails could get away with one. It drys quickly, which I was happily suprised at and doesn't smudge whilst drying so you could paint your nails and then go and do things. It wasn't patchy at all which was good because the other one was very patchy. I really like how it smells but it is very strong which I liked but other people, such as my friend, didn't like but to dull down the smell a bit you can apply a thin layer of top coat and can still smell it. It stays smelling until around 3 or 4 days later but if you did put a top coat on it will only stay for 1 or 2. This nail polish does not chip so it doesn't need a top coat but you can add one if you want to subdue the smell. The only major bad thing about this polish is that it takes forever to take it off and it stains all the skin around the nail and the nail while taking it off. It looks like you have put a pink nail polish on your nail even when you do use a base coat.

Overall I would recommend that you get Cranberry Zest as it is very good and only has one flaw. I would not recommend buying Lemon Drop as its flaws out weight the good things about it. Thanks for reading.
