Nail Polish Reviews

Kokie Mischievous When I applied Kokie Mischievous I was expecting a pretty dark blue duo-chrome polish. Maybe the bottle needed a more thorough mixing, giving me the wrong impression, but long story short I did not see any color shifting. The formula was typical Kokie as I have come to think of it, and in case you haven't seen my other posts typical Kokie means consistently fantastic. It applies smoothly and evenly without one bit of fuss which makes painting your nails a ve

Trust Fund Beauty $12 Latte I always look forward to my monthly Ipsy bag, and occasionally I cheat and look at my online account before hand yo find out what I will get. Since I love surprises I don't cheat very often. It's always exciting when I get a bottle of nail polish and this month was no different. I received Trust Fund Beauty $12 Latte. I was a bit surprised by the color, as the chocolate browns are usually more of a fall thing. As soon as I cracked the bottle open

OPI Gelato On My Mind I love the minty shades and was really looking forward to wearing OPI Gelato On My Mind. A soft minty blue that I thought would be light and fun. I found the first coat disappointing because it was streaky. The consistency of the formula is fairly thin but not watery so application was easy enough. Even after the second coat I found I was not very happy about the opacity so I added a third layer. At that point everything finally evened out and I was hap

Kokie We Wear Pink It turns out that I have not had enough of wearing pink because I was more than happy to paint my nails with Kokie We Wear Pink. A gold shimmer filled bubble gum pink that would have been amazing during Valentines, however I am really glad that I put off wearing it. We have had so many overcast and gloomy days that I might not have fully appreciated the twinkle on this awesome polish. It was bright and sunny today and that allowed me to appreciate all those

Sally Hansen Cherry Fast I love a good sold creme polish! Sally Hansen Cherry Fast is one of those easy to love polishes. A gorgeous magenta that I have used several times as a stamping polish with a lot of success but this was the first time I used it as a solid color on my nails. The Insta-Dri line is advertised as a one coater but I find it does not always work out that way. I can get Cherry Fast opaque in one coat but because the formula is a little bit thicker and it doe

Kokie Creme Brule Happy Friday! How about something light and easy on the eyes? That's how I felt about Kokie Creme Brule. When it comes to neutrals it's best to choose a color that will compliment your skin tone. That is usually easier said, than done. Creme Brule was not quite the right shade of neutral for me, so my skin looked a little pink. Give me a couple of months into summer and it will be the perfect shade on me! This cream formula was a little bit thinner than the

Gosh Frosted Soft Green No amount of snow or ice can take away the promise of spring! Gosh Frosted Soft Green definitely helps me channel that. I want to forget about all the snow that has just fallen and the cold wind that chills to the bones. I live for the day that I notice buds starting on the trees and the grass begins to grow again. It's been overcast mostly as well adding to the winter effect so I decided to put cheery spring colors on my nails. I have really enjoyed w

Pure Ice Rain & Shine I must admit that I was very happy with my choice of color today. Pure Ice Rain & Shine is a dreamy cornflower blue that I have been looking forward to trying. I purchased this recently at Walmart. At this time as far as I am aware it is the only place you can purchase Pure Ice polishes. From the first swipe of polish on my nails I knew this one was a keeper. The formula has that perfectly squishy consistency I love and applied smooth and even. Two c

Kokie It's A Date I had a hard time deciding on a polish for tonight. I have worn so much red and pink in the last little while that I decided I wanted something different. Kokie It's A Date was an easy choice. First off the name is very fitting for Valentines day. This is a glitter topper and I decided to layer it over Kokie Dark Room, a black creme from the Rapidgel line I chose because I knew the formula would be easy to work with and I was right. I would like to talk firs

Essie Haute In The Heat Did we not just have a Monday? The weekend always goes by so quickly, especially that tail end of Sunday where you are trying to squeeze in the things that you meant to do earlier but never did get around to. By the time I realized what time it was it was past my bed time. My nails were still naked and I was tempted to leave them bare but it just did not feel right. I grabbed Essie Haute In The Heat from my untried basket. It looked liked it would suit
