China Glaze SWANKY SILK SWATCH/REVIEW!!!!

Hey hey!!


So in my last post I told you all I purchased the entire China Glaze Bohemian Collection, and in that post I only reviewed "Rare and Radiant" because I was so excited I had to put in on immediately lol. So after a few days I took that one off and put on "Swanky Silk". I am not even joking that this is totally my favorite color so far, it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!! The duo chrome in this one is not very strong although you can see a slight color shift. I honestly don't even care because it is stunning! The color shifts from a light gold (almost 14k?) to a pretty olive-y green in some light and then a pinky rose gold color in other light. I tried my best to catch the color shift but as I do not have a quality camera it was very difficult, and I apologize for that. I apologize in advance for my ragged cuticles, I have been having a stressful week and have been biting lately :(.

ANYWAY- on to the SWATCHES!!!! yay!!!

*The finish on this one is super pretty, its more satin than shimmer and its metallic in the sun! LOVE

 Here you can kind of see the olive tone to it, the color shift is definitely more apparent in real life :(

I love how this polish is a light gold color with no yellow tones to it. Yellow doesn't flatter my skin tone at all so this one is perfect. It was pretty much impossible to capture the rose gold/pink shift I can see with my own eyes. I think its time to invest in a better camera haha. All of these pictures were with 2 coats, but it was opaque with only 1 coat :). There are no visible brush strokes which is AMAZING because there is nothing more I hate than brush lines. The only issue I had with this polish that I did not have with "Rare and Radiant" was this one chipped after 2 days, but that could be because I have had my hands in water a lot while I had this one on so we will have to see what the others in the collection are like.

Hope you enjoyed my post! I will be posting in a day or so with the next color in the line, but be on the look out for a few more posts until then :).

Time for a little hair care!

Hey Everyone!!!

Today I wanna talk about hair. Trust me when I say hair is NOT my forte and I really have no patience for it (thank god I have a hair dresser in the family lol) but I like it to be healthy and undamaged. That would make sense if I never dyed my hair, never took a blow dryer to it and never straightened it, but sadly I have done all of those things. From the time I turned 15 my hair has been dyed a different color every 2 months, I have gone from red to jet black to blonde back to black to brown so on and so forth. If you can't already tell my hair has had some SERIOUS damage done to it and as I get older I notice it getting drier and thinner. I have had 2 kids and it seemed each pregnancy my hair thinned a little, no I am not going bald I have plenty of hair it just doesn't seem as thick anymore. So I finally had enough of brittle dry hair about 2 months ago and this family member of mine gave me a Keratin Treatment. She put all this goopy stuff in, blow dried it in as well as straightening it and I had to leave it in for 3 days. It wasn't that bad until the 3rd day when it looked like I rolled around in an oil slick and I couldn't wait to wash the crap out. I was given a special shampoo and conditioner that doesn't contain Sodium Chloride or Sodium Sulfate (that's what makes shampoo lather) because that stuff strips the keratin out.

                           Keratin Complex Smoothing Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner

So I washed the treatment out and I almost died because my hair felt AMAZING. Literally, it felt like it had never been damaged at all. I was so happy I almost cried, my hair has felt so bad for so long I was relieved because I was seriously considering shaving my head lol.

So I was also recommended to try the It's a 10 Miracle Leave In Spray with Keratin. I was hesitant because this stuff is kind of expensive but once I tried it and saw what it did to my hair I HAD TO GET IT. I found it on Ebay for 30.00 for 10oz and I know it seems like alot but I have seen the tiny 4oz bottles for almost 20.00 so I figured what the hell, the 10oz will last me a really long time. I spray this all over my hair, maybe about 4-5 sprays.

                                        It's A 10 Miracle Leave In Spray with Keratin

For the last 3 years I have been using Moroccan Oil and It really has done wonders for my hair. This stuff is also kind of expensive but a big bottle has lasted me almost a year so for the 35.00 its definitely worth it to me. I use this just on the ends of my hair to stop frizzy-ness and split ends.

All of this stuff has repaired my hair and I am so happy with it now. So my question to all of you is, What products do you use to keep your hair healthy if any at all? Leave a comment down below!

EOTD's with Detrivore Cosmetics!!!

Hey Everyone!

I know I haven't posted in a while and I have many looks and many posts I have been working the past few weeks, I've been pretty sick... I'm Sorry!!!

Anyway, I got bored the other night and decided to create 2 different looks, one on each eye, with one of my favorite indie companies Detrivore Cosmetics! These shadows are amazingly smooth, they stay on all day and they blend like a dream! I reviewed the shadows I won in a previous post you can few here-->Detrivore Cosmetics Review!

The first look I created I used Brine, Cremaines and Broken Glass. (love these names).

Brine is one of my favorite colors that I own, It is really bright in person the camera does not do this justice!!!

The second look I created was using Livor Mortis, Beetle and Broken Glass

I think this one is my favorite, Livor Mortis is absolutely beautiful and I really have never come across another color like it!

You can purchase Detrivore Cosmetics ->HERE<-. They are wonderfully priced, the products themselves are amazing and it really is an exceptional indie brand. The owner Distorria is a doll and she provides wonderful customer service as well. CHECK IT OUT!!!

NAIL MAILLL!!!!!!! Pic Heavy!!!

 OMG! you guys!

I am so excited! I open up my mail box today and got the best little surprise ever!

About a week ago I caved and ordered the entire China Glaze Bohemian Collection. Then a few days after I caved AGAIN and purchased the entire China Glaze Up and Away Collection as well as a bottle of For Audrey. I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, but they did and I almost died when I saw all of them!!! The only issue I had was the seller from the Up and Away Collection was out of stock of "Peachy Keen" but I was not aware of this until the polish arrived. It's okay though, because they kindly refunded me for the missing polish and I ordered another one! I got these for an amazing deal that worked out to about $4.00USD for each polish instead of the usual $6.99USD. I have even seen China Glaze all the way up at $8.99USD, so I thought this was a great deal. Aside from that I only own 2 China Glaze polishes, I usually stick with drugstore brand and the two I own were gifts, so I figured this would be a nice start for China Glaze and now that I have seen these my collection will soon grow! LOL

So today I will only review the Bohemian Collection as I am waiting on the missing polish from the other collection, when I receive it I will review it. I know the Up and Away collection is a few years old but it is new to me and I think they're gorgeous colors no matter when they were originally launched.

Also, today I am just going to tell you about my perception of the colors from the bottle with the exception of "Rare and Radiant"which I am currently wearing. As I wear and swatch the whole collection I will dedicate a post to each color.

                                               The Bohemian Collection has 6 polishes:
                                    "Swanky Silk", "No Plain Jane", "Rare and Radiant",
                                "Unpredictable", "Deviantly Daring", "Want My Bawdy"

****************************************

"Swanky Silk"

This is a gorgeous gold? I honestly cannot for the life of me explain what this color is. It is kinda of gold and a little bit nude but theres a gorgeous pink duo chrome as well. The duo chrome is very apparent in the bottle but from swatches I have see from other bloggers it doesn't look as apparent on the nail. I guess we will see when I put it on in a few days. 

"No Plain Jane"

(this was pretty much impossible to capture on camera im sorry) :(

This is a really beautiful violet? fuchsia color. It really hard to describe, it definitely purple but it has a slight pink tone to it. The duo chrome on this in the bottle is very apparent and it shifts from the violet to an orangey gold color, very nice.

"Rare and Radiant"

This beautiful! It the one I am currently wearing so I can give a definite review on it. This was opaque in 2 coats and there are no visible brush strokes. I have injuries to my nail beds so there are dents and bumps, but those are imperfection on my nails not because of the polish. It's a nice olive-y green that has a great gold duo chrome. The duo chrome is very apparent in the bottle but not as strong on the nail. Aside from that the dry time was quick and its really lovely. This is also an exact dupe for the Chanel "Peridot" and OPI's "Just Spotted The Lizard". I do not own either of those polishes but I have seen many swatches of all 3 side by side and they are all the same.

"Unpredictable"

This is a green that leans toward the blue side. I LOVE THIS ONE! I can't wait to wear this! Again the duo chrome is really apparent in the bottle and it seems to shift to blue and gold. 

"Deviantly Daring"

This is a beautiful teal that seems to have a gold toned shift. Its really beautiful and I don't have many teals like it. The only color I can think of off the top of my head to compare it to is, Wet and Wild's "Teal or No Teal". Not so much the duo chrome but its the kind of teal that are similar. I believe the WnW one is more blue tho, when I swatch this one I will include a swatch of WnW to see how similar they are. 

"Want My Bawdy"

I'll be honest, this polish was the reason I ordered this entire collection. I have never seen another blue like this before and I am obsessed with it. It is a STUNNING rich sapphire blue. It doesn't have much of a duo chrome in the bottle as far as I can see but I don't even care because the richness of this blue alone took my breath away. Its dark but at the same time bright and really vibrant. Bottle shots DO NOT do this justice, I can't wait to wear this. I think this will be my go-to blue for fall and winter.

So all of that being said, once a week or every few days when I change my nail polish I will be reviewing these different colors. Aside from that I have an Up and Away Collection post and the "For Audrey" post coming up. I have some makeup coming as well so stay tuned for those too!
