China Glaze Harvest Moon

 China Glaze Harvest Moon from the 2012 Hunger Games Capitol Colors Collection.

 

Wow. This color is like MAC Amber Lights Eyeshadow in a bottle.  It is a very bronze foil with yellow, gold and orange tones to it as well.  One of the standouts from the collection.  Since it's called Harvest Moon, I think that it's from district 11, the agriculture district. Sound right? This is two coats of polish, and it's perfectly opaque at that. Very pigmented, very beautiful. Not much else to say.

Have you seen The Hunger Games movie yet? (I haven't.)

China Glaze Instant Chemistry

China Glaze Instant Chemistry from the 2012 Magnetix Magnetic nail polish collection.

 This color has the least contrast between the magnetic and not magnetic part. Even less so than in the picture.  The dark color is very dark and a little frosty; almost exactly the same as OPI Lincoln Park at Midnight.  Then there is a lighter magenta color.  I don't think that it's bad that this color has less contrast, but dark colors aren't really my thing.  Though, because it's dark, it's completely opaque in one coat, which is what I have here. I think it's a good polish if you like darks and want to try this trend.

 Although, don't try layering magnetics with sparkles.  They look stupid.  And you can't even see the pattern anymore. So it's really stupid.

Would you wear it?

Shimmering Shamrock

Of course, I go all out for holiday's, because they're an excuse for me to wear intense makeup to school, and people aren't allowed to think that it's really weird. Or at least not allowed to tell me. Unfortunately, this year, St. Patrick's Day is Saturday, but I probably wouldn't wear glitter to school anyway just because it's uncomfortable...

Zoya Adina

 Zoya Adina from the 2010 Reverie Collection

Stunning. A true duochrome/multichrome. Originally, I thought that this was just a lavender and green duochrome as seen in the bottle of the last picture, but this time I wore it, I noticed that it also has a beautiful fuchsia at extreme angles. This is opaque in 3 coats, but I have extreme problems with bubbling with this nail polish, as well as most of my other Zoyas. I don't think that it's something I'm doing because my other brands are fine, but Zoya bubbles a lot! This is one of my favorite nail polish colors, though, it's a shame that it's so hard for me to get it to work.

Any idea's to avoid Zoya bubbling?

So, I guess that I'm Belle!

 

So, as much as I love Disney, I never had a favorite princess/character... Maybe the Little Mermaid, I don't know. Anyway, I do remember that I had a Belle barbie doll that I absolutely loved, and I really do love Belle, so I'm happy to be her.  If you guys want me to do a Belle inspired look, just say the word! Oh, and you're supposed to tag 10 people, but I don't even know who reads my blog, so if you want me to tag you, then I tag you!

Beauty Secrets Top Coat

Beauty Secrets Nail Hardener & Thickener top coat

So, I have recently remembered on of my first posts, in which I talk about the Zoya nail polish exchange for Earth Day. Anyway, since Earth Day is coming up, I decided that I wanted to start working through all of my old base coats and top coats in hopes that I would use up 6 bottles for Earth Day (which I think I will.) So, my point is that I dug this one (which you can see here) up from the grave that is my medicine cabinet to use and poured a bunch of nail polish thinner in it. That may effect the quality of this review, since it changes the nail polish, but I don't think that it'll change it too much.

This is a fairly thin nail polish with a small brush.  Some people prefer small brushes, but since I have big nails, no matter how long they are, it's not my favorite.  I have to dip the brush into the bottle a few times to get enough nail polish to cover, which can make it not as effective to use, of course.  Also, I get chips after only a day or two of wear, which doesn't happen with my Posh top coat.  Lastly, the bottle's design isn't great, because now that I'm down to the end of this one's life, I have to lean the bottle over the get the nail polish on e the brush, but since it's round, it still is sort of deep on the sides, so it isn't too easy to get the last bit of nail polish. All and all, this top coat gets a chipped thumbs down.

China Glaze Pull Me Close

China Glaze Pull Me Close from the 2012 Magnetix Magnetic nail polish collection.

 Okay, I seem to be getting the hang of this a little more. I recommend using the starburst pattern, because it has the ability to be more abstract than the strict geometric lines of the other patterns, so it's more forgiving.  That, and it's a centered pattern, so it works best on my super curved nails.  I like this color as much as Attraction, but I like them in different ways. Both are opaque at one coat, but this one has a cool look to it.  Almost like one of those holographic images that you have as a kid that when you move it changes.  It's kind of like that, and almost has a 3d look to it. It's really cool, and I really like it. 

This was kind of a terrible review...
