Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Sky's The Limit Swatch and Review

-
Hello everybody! Today, we once again enter the realm of swatches for one of my favourite ranges of nail polish; the gel envy range by Revlon! I adore this range because of the high-shine finish on the polish, the last time and the awesome brush (more deets later). I have loved every polish that I have tried from this range, so let's see how this one fares!



Before I can forget to mention; all of the polishes from this range have a built-in base coat, similar to the the Gel Couture range from Essie and the Miracle Gel range from Sally Hansen (and probably a couple of other ranges as well). This range also has it's own top coat. This polish is called Sky's The Limit. It is an icy blue colour packed full of shimmer. And when I mean packed full of shimmer, I really mean it, It's so gorgeous and sparkly it is very nearly blinding, sunglasses or protective goggles are seriously needed in order to look at this polish! This polish takes three coats to build up to full opacity, but it is so worth it for the sparkle payout that you get, in fact, even if this was a four coater it would be worth it; it's that sparkly and pretty!


I did a close up shot of a single nail because I think this gives you a really good look at the sparkliness of this polish! Seriously, how did they get this polish so sparkley? Are there crushed diamonds in here or something? 


The bottle is shape is round, with a long cap which is also rounded. The Revlon logo is printed on the cap and the name and number of the polish can be found on the cap. I like the presentation of the logo on the bottle and the shape of the bottle; which is thin and easy to store.



The brush is honestly one of my favourite brushes! It is a wide brush that has been cut at an angle to make it easier to get a nice cuticle line. This brush makes application a breeze, and I can't remember ever having a drip with this brush either!


I really, really loved this polish! The 'wow' factor from all that sparkle is just amazing, I think that this would be a really awesome polish for winter-time, with some pretty snowflakes painted on or something! I think that the brush is fantastic; I never worry about drips! The bottle pretty and practical; what more could I ask for? Anyway, I wanna hear what you guys think! Do you like this colour? Have you tried this range before? What do you think of the brush? Let me know 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 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

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
