Orly Neon Earth Summer 2018




Hey guys! I have a gorgeous collection for you today! It's Orly's summer collection. This has a nice balance of insane neons and some really nice neutral shades. This is the first Orly polishes I have gotten and I can't wait to get more! Okay let's get swatchin'!

First up is 'Moon Dust'. This is a light champaign metallic polish. Gorgeous color and opaque in one coat! You can see some brush strokes but not bad at all.

Next up is 'Sands Of Time'. This is a peachy nude cream. This is opaque in two coats, a really nice formula. Stunning on the nails.

Next is 'After Glow'. This is a super bright neon peachy pink cream. Amazing color, opaque in two coats, and a really nice formula. 

Next up is 'Blazing Sunset'. This is a neon red leaning slightly pink with a cream finish. Opaque in two coats and a really nice formula.  This is my favorite polish out of the whole collection! Stunning!! 

Next is 'Desert Rose'. This is a rosey, pinky, mauve cream. Gorgeous, a great transition color from summer to fall. Opaque in two coats and a good formula.

Last up is 'Valley Of Fire'. This is a burnt orange metallic. Another amazing color, leaning a bit fall for me, but absolutely gorgeous. Opaque in two coats, and dries with some brush strokes.

Okay guys, that's all I have for you today. I swatched all of these polishes without a base coat and the Out The Door topcoat.  I hope you enjoyed, if you did please follow me! It would mean the world to me and follow me on instagram @moorepolishplease. I'll talk to you guys later!

Polish Off Record

Hey guys! I'm starting a new series called Polish Off Record. And this is basically how I'm going to show you the polishes I have that either don't have a collection or I didn't get the entire collection to review. So for all my random polishes and misfits have a time to shine! I will be picking three polishes out each week and doing a quick little review of each! I'm really excited to get this series started!! It will contain some old polishes from about five years ago when I started collecting polish so I'm sorry if I show a polish that is no longer available.  I will also have newer polishes from when I didn't buy the entire collection.  I will be doing polishes by season and I'm super excited to start giving some of my older polishes some love. I hope you guys like the idea and stick around! My first Polish Off Record will start some time next week. I'm still not 100% sure what day I want to do them. If you have a preference let me know!! Okay guys! I'll talk to you soon! I hope you're as excited as I am!!! :D

China Glaze Ready To Wear Fall 2018


Hey guys! I'm back with another amazing China Glaze collection. This collection is fall, and the colors are perfect for the season and look so gorgeous! They have a great variety of colors and a few that are really different from anything I own already. I will say I'm way happier with the color choices from this collection then some of the other fall collection, that only had pink and purple. (cough cough OPI) . Which I will have a review for shortly lol. But let's get swatchin'!

First up is 'Haute Blooded'. This a dark brown toned metallic red that dries to a matte finish. This color is stunning both matte and glossy. This is opaque in one coat! The formula is good but leaves some brush strokes.




Next is 'Aut-umm I Need That'. This is a really cool color, unique to my collection. Its a reddy brown base filled with a gold micro flaky that shifts from gold to green. Completely opaque in two coats, and had a bit of a runny formula.

Next up is 'Swatch Out!'. This is a light rusty orange coppery metallic shade. So this is another that I'm really happy with this color. I have nothing like it and another amazing color for fall. Opaque in two coats, and had a few brush strokes.

Next is one of my favorites from this collection! 'Mustard The Courage', a gorgeous brownish mustard yellow cream. Opaque in two coats, and has a really nice formula. I'm not sure what it is about this color but I'm in love! A must have from this collection.

Next is 'Central Parka'. This is a nice army green cream. Opaque in two coats, has a good formula but a bit on the runny side. But guys! That color!!

Next is another unique one. 'Vest Friends', a silvery green gray metallic. Super interesting color, another new one for my collection. Opaque in two coats, and had a runny formula.

Next is 'Sample Sizing Me Up'. A medium dusty blue cream. Opaque in two coats, another runny formula, but not hard to work with. This a staple color everyone should have in their collection for fall.

Next is 'You Don't Know Jacket'. This is a very dark midnight blue cream. Opaque in two coats, and has a good formula. 

Next up is 'Pay It Fashion Forward'. This is an eggplant purple shade full of gold, pink and dark blue microflakies. Opaque in two coats, and has a good formula.

Next is 'Chic Happens'. This one is unique and I really like it but I know not everyone likes metallics. Its a light lilac purple metallic shade. I really like this even for fall, it's a nice refreshing color that gives a little break from all the darks. This is opaque in two coats, and has a nice formula but because of the metallic finish it does have some brush strokes.

Next is 'Throwing suede'. This is a light pinky purple cream. Another nice refreshing color that will also be gorgeous in the winter and spring. Opaque in two coats, has a little bit of a runny formula.
   
 Last up is 'Pleather Weather'. This is a light gray cream that dries to a semi matte finish. Gorgeous color, I love grays for fall. Opaque in three coats, the formula is thin but builds up nicely.


Okay guys! That's the entire collection! I'm obsessed with this collection and I will be wearing the crap out of these colors! A must have is 'Mustard The Courage', gorgeous color and a really nice formula. If you enjoy reading my reviews it would mean the world to me if you would follow my blog and please leave comments! I want to know what you guys like and what else you would like me to blog about! I will be doing some fall collection comparisons when I finish all the fall collections so stay tooned for that! Talk to you next time guys! :D

August Polishpickup


Hey guys!! I'm back with an exciting review!! It's polishpickup time!! I got my polishes in the mail yesterday and I was so excited I wanted to share them with you immediately!! If you don't know what polishpickup is its a group that gets a whole bunch of indie sellers together and they come up with a different theme each month. This month is musicals. Then each brand comes up with an exclusive polish to sell just for this event and they are only available the first weekend of the month. This is the first polishpickup I have participated in and I'm hooked! I tried to limit myself to five polishes and I got eight lol. But totally worth it! Okay, I can't wait anymore! Let's get swatchin'!

First up is Anchor & Heart Laquer 'No One Alive Who Is More Youer Than You'. This is based of the Seussical musical. It has a bright blue crelly base with a ton of different colored glitter in different sizes and shapes. It took three coats and it was completely opaque and had a really nice formula.

Next is actually a scented timeless top coat. This is 'Snozzberries' by Cuticula. This is based off the musical Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This scented top coat smells fruity and a hint of bubblgum. Such a fun scent and the top coat dries fast and has a nice glossy finish.

Next is Moon Shine Mani's polish. 'He Calls Me John', based off the musical Thoroughly Modern Millie. This is a white crelly base with different sizes and shapes of black and red glitters, some white flackies, and a red shimmer. It took three coats to be fully opaque. Such a gorgeous polish!!!

Next is Corlores De Carol 'The King Roars', based off the Lion King Musical. This is a gorgeous mustard yellow with some light brown and holographic flackies and a holo microflackie. Opaque in two easy coats. Another gorgeous polish perfect for fall!

Next is Kbshimmer's polish 'Sandy', based off the musical Grease. This is a super light tan base with a holographic microflakie and blue and pink shimmer. Opaque in three coats. A stunning polish for summer.

The next three polishes where actually a last minute buy! I'm so happy I did because they are stunning!!

First is Painted Polish 'Just One Look', from the musical Momma Mia! I adore this polish! I almost didn't get it but I kept seeing swatches on instagram and I knew I would regret it If I didn't buy it. This is a gorgeous peri-winkle base that is full of a scattered holographic glitter and a strong pink shimmer. Opaque in three coats, stunning!!

Next is Fair Maiden 'Come What May', from the musical Moulin Rouge. Which I bought because of the name lol. Moulin Rouge is my favorite movie of all time so I knew I had to have this. And my camera did not capture how beautiful this polish is, but is a true red holographic. Opaque in one coat!!

Last up I have Level Up 'The Barber & His Wife', from the musical Sweeney Todd. Another muscial I love!! And the polish is amazing as well. A white crelly base with a chameleon flackie that shifts from pink to purple to gold to green. Opaque in three coats, another stunning polish.

Essie Retro Grade Shades Collection



Hey guys! I have a gorgeous little duo to review for you today! This is essie's Retro Grade Collection. This is an Ulta exclusive collection, and it's super pretty! I'll have a few comparisons at the end! Let's get to swatchin'!

First up is 'Keep Calm...'. This is a gorgeous sheer polish. I really like this as a subtle mani, this would also look amazing for a French tip making the base a little more interesting.  I did three coats.

Next up is 'And Mercury On'.  This is a dark purple with a strong blue shift. This is stunning! I did two coats and it was completely opaque!

Okay so now I have some comparisons for you guys. This is for 'Keep Calm...' I have two to compare and they are both China Glaze. I have China Glaze 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' and 'Good Luxe Charm'. 

So here is all of them next to each other. The index and pinkie fingers are Essie 'Keep Calm..' the middle finger is China Glaze 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' and on the ring finger is China Glaze 'Good Luxe Charm'. So for all of these I did three coats, and I have to say China Glaze 'Good Luxe Charm is about identical to Essie 'Keep Calm..'. But China Glaze 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' Looks dull in comparison.
So if you really like this color and can't find Essie I would go with China Glaze 'Good Luxe Charm' instead.

 Hopefully you found this helpful and I will talk to you guys in my next blog! :)

Moon Shine Mani The Houses Collection 2018


Hey guys! I have an amzing collection for you today!! This is The Houses Colection by Moon Shine Mani! This is a harry potter collection and I'm obsessed!! They all have different finishes which I like and I will do my best to describe. There is a lot going on and I will do my best lol. Okay let's get to the swatchin'!

First up is 'Ravenclaw Wit and Learning'. This is a jelly blue base with metallic blue square glitter, and fifferent sized metallic copper hexes. This is gorgeous I love this for fall. Opaque in two coats and was easy to get all the glitters out and even.

Next is 'Hufflepuff Just and Loyal'. This is a clear base with a ton of gold micro flakies, there are metallic gold hexes, and two different sizes of matte black circle glitter. This one was opaque in two coats, and I didn't have to fish for any of those corcle glitters! Really gorgeous, a surprise favorite!

Next is 'Gryffindor Nerve and Chivalry'. This is a red jelly base with metallic gold holographic square and two sizes of hexes, and a gold holo microflakie. I did two coats, I think it could have used a third coat based on the look you're going for. But I really like how this one looks.

Last up is my house! 'Slytherin Ambitious and Cunning'.  This is a forest green microflakie base with a scattered holographic glitter and holo flakies. This is completely opaque in two coats, really nice formula. My favorite out of the entire collection!

I swatched all of these with an Out The Door topcaot and no base. I got these on Moonshinemani's website, I recommend this entire collection, all the colors are gorgeous and have reallt nice formulas. I think now is the perfect time to pick these up, they are all really good fall colors. If there is a collection you guys would like me to review let me know! I will do my best to get my hands on it, and let me know what your house is!! I'll talk to you guys in my next blog! :D

Hey guys! I have an exciting review for you today! It's the new essie fall collection for 2018. These colors are abosolutely gorgeous! There are two metallics and four creams. This collection also has Essie's new wide flat brush! I will have photos comparing the old brush to the new one at the end. All these polishes hae amazing formulas, so lets get to swatchin'.

First I have 'Empire Shade of Mind'. This  is a metallic silver, but a little more gunmetal silver than your typical silver. This is completely opaque in one coat!! It does have some brush strokes, but not bad at all considering it has Essie's new wide flat brush!

Next I have 'Falling for NYC'. This a more orange toned mustard yellow cream. This was completely opaque in two coats and had a really good formula.

Next is 'Say It Ain't Soho'. This is a gorgeous burnt orange metallic. This was opaque in two coats. Good formula but again a little brush strokey.

Next is 'Stop, Drop, & Shop'. This is a dusty berry pink cream.  Opaque in two coats and a nice smooth formula.


Next is 'It Takes A West Village'. This is a light roesy pink cream. Opaque in two coats, and again a really nice smooth formula.

Last up is 'Booties On Broadway'. This is a dark midnight blue cream. This was completely opaque in one coat, and has an amzing formula.

Okay guys now for the brushes!
This is the old brush, which i did't mind too much, but it is a little hard to work with.

This is the new brush! It is two easy swipes on the nail and your done!


Okay guys! Thats all I have for you today! I love this collection! I got all these polishes at Ulta, I'm not sure if they available anywhere else. But I definetly recommend all of these polishes just for the brushes. And Essie has really improved their formulas! For all of these pictures I used Out The Door topcoat and no base coat. I hope you guys enjoyed and I'll talk to you in my next blog! :D

Color Club Poptastic Summer 2014



Hey guys! I'm back with another summer collection! This is an oldie, I believe from summer of 2014. I'm not 100% sure though, so if I'm wrong please correct me. But this is a beautiful seven piece collection of crazy bright creams. I did have this collection several years ago and I had destashed a few of the polishes, but I bought them again lol, hence the different bottles. I'm not sure if the new bottles have a different formula or are a different shade, but from what I remember they seem the same. Okay let's get swatchin'!

First up is 'Almost Famous'. This is a bright crayola crayon yellow cream. This was completely opaque in three coats, and the formula is a bit streaky, but it builds up nicely.

Next up is 'Wham! Pow!'. This a crazy bright traffic cone orange cream. This is completely opaque in two coats, and has a good formula. This is one of my go to summer shades.

Next is 'Poptastic'. This is a pepto bismol light bright pink cream. This is completely opaque in two coats, and has a good formula. I'm not the biggest fan of pink, but this pink I will be wearing a lot of!

Next up is 'Warhol'. This is a dark slightly purple toned hot pink cream. This one is also opaque n two coats and has a nic smooth formula.

Next is 'Pucci-Licious'. This is a medium bright purple cream. Completely opaque in two coats. Surprisingly this one had a thin formula, but it still built up nicely in two coats.

Next up is 'Twiggie'. This is a blue toned medium green. This is almost a bleached neon, but just slightly muted. This is opaque in two coats, and had a streaky formula. 

Last up is 'Chelsea Girl'. This is a bright cobalt blue cream. This was completely opaque in two coats, the formula was a bit thin but build up nicely.


Okay guys, that's all I have for you today. This is a super fun bright collection, if you only get one I would recommend 'Wham! Pow!'. Such a bright fun shade for summer! And For all of these swatches I used Out The Door topcoat and no base. I hope you guys had a good weekend and I'll talk to you later!
