Sally Hansen I Heart Nailart Neon 140 Sunny Side Up Swatch and Review

Hey folks!
Today I have a new swatch post for you, although I'm currently preparing for my midterm.


Today's swatch is from Sally Hansen's newest line, the I Heart Nailart line, which consists of a neon nail polish line, 2 types of topcoat (Big Matte Topcoat and Big Shiny Topcoat), striper nail polish, and the I Heart Nailart Kits. The line will be available by November 2014, if everything goes smoothly.

 I will be reviewing them all in a sequenced blog posts, but today I want to show you the neon nail polish, Sunny Side Up.


For these swatches I applied 2 coats of Sunny Side Up over a white nail polish, and topped it off with my favorite topcoat, Mega Shine topcoat.

 
 More info and pics after the jump!

Beauty Buffet B22, S03, S08 Review and Swatches

Hello again everyone! Sorry I've been MIA these past few weeks, I went to Bali for my summer vacation! 
But now that I'm back, I'll show you my newest addition to my ever-growing collection of nail polish:
Beauty Buffet Nail Enamel!

Beauty Buffet itself is a Thai cosmetics brand. When I passed the booth in MBK Mall in Bangkok when I attended a meeting near there, I saw the neon yellow and I know I have to get it. Apparently, the store was having a promo, for a buy 3 for approximately 3$! I regretted not buying more :(

First up, B22. B22 is a blue based grey. For these swatches I used 3 coats. It's a bit on the thick side, but after 3 coats it's pretty self leveling, which is a great thing! I bought this one because I don't have any grey polish lol :p

Next is S08. it's such a pretty light blue that reminds me of sunny blue sky!
For these I used 2 coats. On the bottle it shows a bit of mint green, but after it dries on my nails it looks more blue. LOVELOVELOVE!

 Okay, now I know how everyone seems to complain about how hard it is to capture neon colors. Seriously, I think my camera hates me hahahaha!
Anyway, I've never been interested in neon colors, but that was before I met Karina, who loves yellows, greens, and basically any neon color except pink :p

For these, I used 2 coats of S03 over a white base to make the color POP even more.



So, do you know about Beauty Buffet? Have you ever heard of the brand?

Love,
Sovianaty.

#NailArtApr 11: Bright - Etude House Jewelade PK004 Swatch and Review

Hi everyone! Today is supposed to be a nail art April challenge: bright, but since I'm almost close to my final examination, the school is crazy with tasks and tests, so instead of making a nail art, I'm just gonna do a swatch of a neon pink:
Etude House Jewelade PK004

the bottle. Cute packaging!
 All the photos below are with a coat of Etude House Help My Finger Sunshine Whitener, 3 coats of Etude House Jewelade PK004, and a coat of Revlon Super Top Speed Topcoat.

The nail polish itself is a hot pink with magenta shimmers, which of course, doesn't transfer to the photograph!

Under my camera's built it flash, you can see the shimmer, but only faintly.

Formula wise, it's like the other Etude House Jewelade polishes, a bit thick but still manageable.

So, what do you think? Do you have an Etude House Jewelade polish in your stash? :)
