Sinful Colors Hazard


I haven't done a review in what seems like forever. Sorry :P
So this is Sinful Colors's Hazard polish. It's sort of a pinky coral type color. I thought it was a pretty color and girly too. I love Sinful Colors nail polish because it is so cheap and most of the time last a good while. This one lasted a decent amount of time. I'd say about 2 or 3 days and it started to chip. Definitely not as long as some of the Essie, China Glaze, or OPI nail polishes I have tried, but what do you expect for $1.99? I thought it did a pretty good job when it came to quality and longevity when it came to how much it cost.
Overall: I would say this was a good color to use. I loved the color and the quality was satisfactory.

OPI Vodka and Caviar


I got this nail polish from the grocery store I now work at because they have some OPI nail polishes and they're all cheaper than what you could get at a salon. I paid maybe 40 cents less?
I loved the color of this polish. It's a vibrant candy apple red. The name amuses me too. I hated the longevity of it. It did not last long at all. I notice I have been saying this about a lot of nail polishes I have gotten recently. I need to break this trend somehow. Anyways, it chipped like the 2nd day I had it on. It started to fade on a lot of the nails too during that time. I was so disappointed with this. I returned it and I got my money back though.
Overall I would not recommend this polish. I guess I will just have to search for another pretty candy apple red color till I find one that truly pleases me. It chipped very early which was something I was not happy with at all!

China Glaze Watermelon Rind


Don't mind the messed up Konad nail stamp on my ring finger nail. I got bored one day and decided to do that and it didn't turn out right...oh well.
I had some problems with this nail polish. The main problem I had was the longevity. It did not last very long and started to fade on the tips after about 2 or 3 days. I love the color though. It is a glittery blue green color. I've mentioned before I think about how I hate glitters because they are so hard to get off, but with the China Glaze glitter laquers I have gotten recently they are not hard to remove at all! I was highly impressed about how easy this was to get off despite the fact that it's a glitter polish. I would recommend that they change the formula or something for it because the longevity is definitely something I was not as happy with as I could have been. I got many compliments on the color though so that is a good thing!
Overall: I would recommend this because of the color and how easy it is to remove, but just beware that it starts to fade on the tips after about 2 or 3 days.

China Glaze Dorothy Who?


I got this from Sally's for 4.99 I think. Actually my mom bought it for me, so thanks mom! :)
I did LOVE the color. It was such a rich gittery blue, and even though it was a glitter it wasn't hard to take off at all! But like the China Glaze Adore review I did, this polish was bittersweet as well. It did tend to chip fast. I had chipping about 2 days later at the tips of my nails so that was really disappointing. I did love the color though. I have always loved vibrant blue glitters but I always hated how they were so hard to take off, but this one is completely different. I loved how easy it was to take off. Well I had to lay the nail polish soaked cotton ball on my nail for a few seconds, but after that it was completely easy to take off. If only this polish lasted a little longer it would be perfect! I used the Seche Vite top coat and it still chipped within 2 days. So that was sad. 
Overall: The color is fantastic, but the longevity was nothing to rave about at all.Oh! I also forgot to mention it took 3 coats to get to this opaque shade of the blue. After 2 coats I still felt like I needed one coat, which really was not a problem.

China Glaze Adore


This polish was bittersweet. I got this from Amazon. This is one of the other polishes I bought along with Lemon Fizz. I was indifferent about this polish. I got this for about $4. The price was good, application was easy and the consistency was good. Even the drying time was pretty minimal. I love the color! Absolutely love! This color has a metallic sheen to it and is definitely a gorgeous color! I think this is from the Romantique collection? I really should do my research more. 
The one major problem I had with this polish is that is chipped very quickly. It was chipping by the next day! I have one finger where it is cracked but hasn't chipped off yet, so I am hoping I can maybe save that piece with some top coat. Like I said before though this polish chipped so quickly! Even with my Seche Vite top coat...yeah that's right! I finally got Seche Vite top coat! But that's not what this blog post is about. 
Overall: I loved the color! Gorgeous, but the quality is pretty bad. Chipping happened the next day. It's a bittersweet type of feeling.

Milani Jewel FX Gems


I bought this nail polish the other day and it is gorgeous! I got it at my local drugstore for like $5. I do have a small resistance towards glitter polishes simply because they are soooo difficult to take off. But this one was an exception. Very pretty glitter pieces and very colorful! 
Starting off, of course this nail polish will be difficult to take off, as are all glitter nail polishes. I do have one small problem though. On a couple of nails some of the glitter pieces' color began to wash off onto my nail. So there are tiny little streaks of color. It doesn't bother me too much since it's not as noticeable. But it is something I thought I should mention. I do love this nail polish though. Milani makes wonderful nail polishes so far from what I can tell. If glitter polishes are your thing I suggest you try this. I think this color looks so pretty over white and I haven't tried it yet but I think it will look good over black too and possibly pink. Layered on top of the white polish it kind of reminds me of Christmas! :)
Overall: If glitter polishes are your thing I suggest trying this or just trying a Milani polish to begin with.
