Bobbi Brown Pink Cloud Nail Polish -Swatch and review

Bobbi Brown's Pink Cloud nail polish is a your nails but better type of polish. I always gravitate towards these type of natural colors. This color look so natural on giving the appearance of clean and glossy nails but has a very feminine, girly and fun pink hue to to it. I absolutely love it. Not everyone will be a fan of the sheerness of this polish but if you like something girly spring like but yet like it keep it subtle or are ready for a change from the dark wintery polishes, then you'll love this. And the name is absolutely adorable...pink cloud. It describes this color very well, as it is a very soft cloud like whitish and dreamy color. 

Hope you guys are having an amazing week.

Bobbi Brown Nectar and Nude Eye Palette Swatches

Below are swatches of the Nectar and Nude eyeshadow palette.

The colors are so pretty. I will do a more in depth post later once i've had a chance to play with them.

Hope you all are having a great day

Formula X for Sephora Centigrade swatch

Formula X Centigrade is a beautiful sophisticated blue. This is gorgeous on short nails. It's a very deep lapis blue and it maintains the blue instead of going black or purple.

Wearing this polish makes me feel both wintery and summery because it's dark enough to be worn in winter but it makes me think of the deep ocean...because it's such a gorgeous blue. Formula X is meant to be chip free but this did chip on me in a couple of days which I was really surprised. Otherwise, highly recommend this polish if you're looking for a "grown-up" blue.

Hope you all are having a great day.

OPI Cajun Shrimp swatch

January is officially over which in my mind equates to we are that much closer to spring. Spring is one of my favorite seasons. The warmer weather, gorgeous sunshine and blooming flowers makes spring so special. I find that seasons and season cravings sometimes dictate my nail polish choices. Today I went for OPI Cajun Shrimp a very bright and cheery orange/red color that's so stunning and it's gorgeous on the nails.

This is one of my favorite OPI nail polishes and its so beautiful on the toes as well and gorgeous with a tan. Looks perfect when those toes are dipped in sand or beautiful blue ocean water...ok I'm definitely  ready for spring and summer.

Hope you all are having an amazing day!

Sephora Formula X Perfection Nail Polish Swatches

When I heard that Sephora was discontinuing the Sephora by OPI nail polish range, I was really sad specicially about one amazing color...metro chic. The likes of the taupe purple mushroom shade is easier to find now than when metro chic first came out, but I loved it so much and I always get a bunch of compliments when I wear it. The new line however, formula X seems to has a very close dupe called Perfection.

Formula X is meant to be very gel like and last on the nails for a more extended period of time than the regular polish. I do think this looks very gel like in the fact that it looks very shiny and it curves your nails much like the gel polish. Perfection (just like metro chic) is a gorgeous purple taupe mushroom shade, in the dirty family that looks amazing with short nails and it's perfect for fall and winter. Overall, I'm very happy that Sephora is offering a pretty much exact dupe and highly recommend this shade.

Hope you all have had a lovely day.

Loads of love
