Orly Glowstick Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on May 20, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: chic review, nail polish, nail polish review, Orly.

Hello lovelies!

I will end the review series of Orly Feel the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (info & nail swatches) with Orly Glowstick nail polish which I received from Orly Romania last week for review purposes. The Mani Minis collection contains only 4 neon shades in mini bottles of 5.3 ml / .18 fl oz for the price of 20.00 Lei unlike the 6 neon shades in full size bottles of 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz retailing for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei from Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Collection (info, promo photos & nail swatches).

Orly Glowstick Nail Polish is a bright yellow neon with green undertones, something very similar with an yellow marker. The color is very sheer and transparent after the second coat so the second coat of color is definitely a must. After the second coat the color is still pretty transparent and sheer, only a little bit more vibrant. Being a neon shade it will look more opaque in the evening, or whenever the light is not that bright. Continue reading ‘Orly Glowstick Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches’

Orly Skinny Dip Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Hello sweeties!

Orly Skinny Dip Nail Polish is part of Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Collection (info, promo photos & swatches) which has been released last month. I received from Orly Romania their Orly Fell the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (info & swatches) which contains only 4 of the colors from the original Feel the Vibe Collection. Each mani minis bottle contains 5.3 ml / .18 fl oz for 20.00 Lei compared to the full size bottles which have 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz and retail for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei.

Orly Skinny Dip nail polish is described as an electric light blue. It surely seems like an electric light blue water shade with fine iridescent silver and turquoise particles. The texture is very light, almost watery and it dries almost instantly once applied. The color looks quite transparent in one coat and the color is not spread evenly on the nail leaving some sheerer spots from place to place. A second coat is definitely needed to even the color and lines left behind after the first coat but the color is still a bit transparent and is not evenly spread on the nail.

Hello sweeties!

I’ve been wanting to make a separate article from the one posted last week about My package from Max Factor, for a long time but I’ve been over my head re-taking new photos and editing them for reviews.

I’ve received 12 new nail polishes from Max Factor Romania last week and it will take a while until I will review each shade considering I’m usually wearing a nail polish for 4-5 days before I review it. I’ve received 6 Max Effect Mini Nail Polishes (info & promo photos) and another 6 colors of Max Factor Glossfinity which is a new collection of nail polishes that will be available at Max Factor counters pretty soon and promises glossy nails for up to 7 days.

Max Effect Mini Nail Polishes are already available online @maxfactor.co.uk and internationally at Max Factor counters. The colors looks vibrant, some of them have a creamy texture other contain glitter and shimmery particles, some of them are sheer on the nails, like Max Effect Mini Nail Polish in #45 Fantasy Fire (photos & nail swatches).

Follow me after the jump for more details and photos. Continue reading ‘Max Factor Glossfinity & Max Effect Mini Nail Polish – Preview, Info & Photos’

Orly Melt Your Popsicle Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Published on May 18, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: chic review, nail polish, nail polish review, Orly.

Hello beauties!

Orly Melt Your Popsicle is another great color choice for summer and is one of the shades included in the Orly Feel the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (nail swatches, photos & info). I’m saying this color is part of the Mani Minis collection because I received it in a 5.3 ml/ .18 fl oz bottle which retails for 20.00 Lei unlike the normal size of 18 ml/ 0.6 fl oz for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei which is part of Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Nail Polish Collection (info, swatches & promo photos).

Melt Your Popsicle is a bright orange coraly neon quite transparent in one coat and semi-transparent in 2 coats. The texture is very light and fluid making the polish to dry almost instantly on your nails. The only problem I had with the application was a few lines noticeable after the first coat but the second coat managed to even the color and leave a semi-matte finish. The brush it’s quite small (considering it’s a mini size nail polish) so I had to dip it in a few times to get a good coverage.

Orly Beach Cruiser Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches

Hello lovelies!

Orly Beach Cruiser Nail Polish is part of the Orly Feel the Vibe Mani Minis Summer 2012 Collection (photos & nail swatches). I received the entire collection from Orly Romania last week and as a dedicated fan of pink colors Beach Cruiser was the first one I’ve tried.

I received Orly Beach Cruiser in a mini bottle of 5.3 ml / .18 fl oz for 20.00 Lei while the full size bottle is 18 ml / 0.6 fl oz and retails for $7.50 / 45.00 Lei. The color is a bright fuchsia with a semi-matte finish which looks rather sheer if it’s applied in one coat and still a little bit transparent in two coats. The texture is very light and creamy so the polish will be dried in seconds, which is one of the things I love about neon colors.

The application went fine without pooling, bubbling or streaking but it took me longer to apply the color because of the mini brush which must be dipped in several times to get a nice coverage. Continue reading ‘Orly Beach Cruiser Nail Polish for Summer 2012 – Review, Photos & Nail Swatches’

Kinetics Love Me, Love Me Not Nail Polish from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Nail Swatches & Photos

Published on May 15, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: chic review, Kinetics, nail polish, nail polish review.

Hello lovelies!

The last nail polish I will review from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (info & nail swatches) is Love Me, Love Me Not which is one of the 8 shades included in this collection. You can find the new colors available at dedicated Kinetics nail salons, online shops of Kinetics distributors and @kiriloff.ro for Romania.

Kinetics Love Me, Love Me Not (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz ) is actually very hard to describe since it looks different depending on how the light hits. I can say it’s a greyish light brown with pastel pink undertones and a pearly finish. If I was a little tanned this color will match perfectly my skin color so it’s a tanned flesh color . The texture is very creamy, not to think or too watery but because of this texture the drying time takes at least 10 minutes. The color looks quite opaque in one coat but a second coat makes it look darker and more shiny. The application went smoothly without pooling, streaking or bubbling.

Kinetics Be Mine Nail Polish from Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Photos &Nail Swatches

Hello beauties!

The review of Kinetics Be Mine nail polish brings me one stop closer to finish my review series of nail polishes from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (info, photos & nail swatches). The entire collection is available at international dedicated Kinetics beauty salons, Kinetics distributors and @kiriloff.ro. In Romania the collection was released at the end of March 2012.

Kinetics Be Mine nail polish (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz ) is a natural beige champagne, with satin finish and a creamy watery texture (more watery than creamy). When I layered this color I had the feeling of a melting vanilla ice cream because of the color and texture of this polish. The first coat won’t deliver an opaque coverage so a second coat is needed although being a light natural shade is not completely opaque.

Kinetics Velvet Asphalt Nail Polish from Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Photos &Nail Swatches

Hello beauties!

I’m a little behind with the nail polish reviews so today I’m going to try and finish the few nail colors I have left to review from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (info, nail swatches & photos). The entire collection is available at dedicated Kinetics nail salons and online @kiriloff.ro.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to show you right now how this color looks in one coat because I lost the photos once as my hard disk was fried. In the future days I will update this post with more photos but now I’m wearing a different nail polish and I just have to wait 3 more days to take the final photos for review.

Velvet Asphalt nail polish (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) is a blue-gray color, more like a deep grayish blue with green undertones, satin finish and it’s opaque even on one coat. This color was worn by models at the fashion presentations for Fall – Winter 2013. The texture is creamy but very light towards watery so the brush can pick enough product to color 2-3 nails easily. Being a dark color I wanted to lay a base coat first and this time I chose Kinetics Nano Shark Emergency Treatment for damaged nails (review & photos) which is actually a top coat also and I also used it to seal the 2 coats of Velvet Asphalt color. The polish has a beautiful shine and one layer of top coat really gives you that mirror effect.

Hello lovelies!

This week I had the pleasure to receive quite a few items to review form Max Factor Romania. As you can see I did pick a lot of shades but the product I’m most excited to try is Max Factor Eye Brightening Tonal Black Volumising Mascara (info & promo photos) which is going to be launched this summer and promises to emphasize your natural eye color.

I also got the 3 variants of Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara (info & promo photos) all in black color. I didn’t have time to test them yet since I have about 10 mascaras to review, but I will make a future preview post about the three 2000 Calorie Mascaras that I’ve got until my individual reviews will be ready.

And finally the last mascara that I received is Max Factor 24 from False Lash Effect Mascara (info & promo photos) and I’m hopping for great results from it since I was in love for a while with the old Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara (review & photos).

Hello beauties!

Yesterday I finally received a package that I’ve been waiting for a long time. I’m talking about a few products from Orly which I’m going to review separately but this will take a while since I’m already covered in nail polish reviews. Honestly I have about 15-17 nail polishes to test so if you’ve already read just one of my nail polish reviews you can probably imagine how much time it will take me to finish all of these colors.

Beside the new shades from Orly Feel the Vibe Summer 2012 Collection (photos & swatches) I had the pleasure to the discover that my package also contained a few more surprises like Jealous, Much? nail polish in full size (0.6 fl oz/ 18 ml) from Orly Cool Romance Spring 2012 Collection (info & photos), Polishield 3 in 1 Top Coat (0.3 fl oz /9 ml), Bonder Rubberized Lacquer Gripping Base Coat (0.3 fl oz/ 9 ml), two samples (0.2 fl oz/ 6 ml each) of Rich Renewal Ultra-Hydrating Creme for hands, feet & body in Pucker (papaya & grapefruit) and Peace (spiced vanilla & white tea) and a new catalog with Orly products.
