Bourjois "Taupe Classy" Brown Nail Polish Swatch and Review

-
Hi guys! Today I am back with another swatch and review, this time it's from a brand whose name I am sure that I am not pronouncing right; Bourjois. This is my second polish from this brand; I must say that the first, which was from the 'So Laque Ultra Shine' range, failed to impress me due to it's bad formula. This polish has some really interesting elements, so let's jump right in!


This polish is called Taupe Classy. I can't understand  given that the polish is brown. You see it too right, it's not taupe! Anyway, the polish goes on nicely in two coats for a full opacity. The formula surprised me on this one, it was really good! I had no problems with it at all, which was really different to that other polish that I tried from the So Laque range. By the way, this polish is from the '1 seconde' range, which refers to the time it is supposed to take to apply the polish to each nail.


Now let's get brush talkin'. Given that this range is really known for it's gigantic brush (which it really let's you know on the bottle) was it really that awesome? Yep, it totally was! This brush is incredible...for every finger nail except my pinky, which was incredibly hard to apply the polish to. But, I think that 1 second application time per nail is a bit of an exaggeration, not to say that this brush isn't AWESOME. Although, I think that if you have small nail beds, you will likely struggle with the huge brush, like I did with my pinky.

Oh, the bottle. I really have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I like the cap, which has grips that you can hold onto; it's really excellent for application. On the other hand, the bottle and cap look, well, a little ridiculous, I mean the cap is just gigantic! It looks a little like some sort of alien space ship or something of the sort. On the bright side, my kitten really likes playing with it.


Overall; this polish is interesting. I really liked some elements of it; namely the brush (I feel really sorry for my pinky though) and the formula, which really impressed me. But I am not a fan of this colour at all, though that is personal preference and that bottle and I just didn't enjoy the bottle shape. Great cap though. Also, if you guys are interested in seeing how this polish applies, you can view a live application on my Instagram. What did you think about this polish? Have you tried this brush?What do you think of the bottle? Are you a fan of this brand? Let me know what you think right here in the comments or on Instagram and Pintrest (my username is thegoodnailsblog).
May your nails be good!

Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 Full Collection Swatch and Review

Helloooo! Helloooo! Heloooo! Oh my! I am really very, very excited to present to you all a new collection swatch and review from Sinful Colours! This is the new core collection from Sinful Colours for 2019, which consists of 8 nail polishes. The slightly oddity here is that there are two nail polishes that I haven't seen in the other collection reviews; these being Holo Back and All Jokes Acia'd. It's possible that they are exclusive to Australia or maybe were released a little later than the rest of the collection? Those are my running theories, but if anyone knows please share your awesome information down below in the comments section! Y'know, when I do a collection review I never know which polish to start with! Do I choose something that works well as a representation of the overall collection? Do I pick my favourite or least favourite? Do I just pick whichever swatch photo I see first? Yep, the last one, it's always the last one, otherwise I'll never choos...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Jungle Beat Collection Swatch and Review

Hello everybody! Today is a very, very, very exciting day for this blog because this is my first ever swatch and review of a collection! I was super pumped when I started seeing polishes from the Vanessa Hudgens collection around October, and picked up the four polishes that were available. When I brought my polishes home and looked them up, I was only able to find two of them on the Sinful Colors website, which were apart of the festival collection. I only found a swatch or two of the other polishes that I picked up and no mention of them from SC on their website. As time went by and more Vanessa Hudgens polishes started popping up, I noticed the same thing happening; these polishes didn't seem to exist! It was not until I saw a display at a Priceline store that I rarely visited that it finally made sense; these polishes must have been from a separate collection which had yet to be announced. And so, this is how I came to realise these were apart of the 'jungle bea...

Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens Winter Collection, Full Collection Review

Hello everybody! I'm so very excited today because we will be looking at the Sinful Colors Vanessa Hudgens collaboration collection for winter! I just adore the Sinful Colors/Vanessa Hudgens collaboration polishes, they are some of my favourite polishes in my collection, so my expectations for this collection were very high (almost as high as my excitement levels!). This is a 12 piece collection (the last collection aka the Jungle Beat collection only had 8 polishes but the Festival collection also had 12, just a fun little fact) and every single one of them is shimmer polish; not a single creme in sight! This differs from the the other collaborations, which all had at least a few cremes thrown in there. But, I'm not too upset about that; I LOVE shimmer polishes, and after swatching a collection that was pretty much completely made up of creme polishes (none other than the Sinful Colors New Shades collection), I am happy to be swatching these shimmery beauties! Oh! And, before ...
