Essie 'With the Band' Red Nail Polish Swatch and Review

-
Hellooooo everybody! I am so sorry for my lengthy absence from this blog, I didn't expect to be as busy as I have been over the last 6 months or so. But! Don't  despair! I'm back now and I'm going to try my very ultra-best to update this blog regularly! Anyway, it's almost one of the most exciting times of the year- Christmas time! Are you guys excited? My excitement is at 1000 per cent (which is a lot even for me). So! To get in the Christmas spirit I decided to kick off my return to this blog with a review of a nail polish in one of the most classic Christmas colour of all time- RED! So let's dive in head first very quickly into this review!


So, this here is With the Band by ESSIE (You guys know that I love me some Essie)! This here isn't your typical red, it is a touch darker. This colour is not the most unique in the whole entire world but I do think that it's still pretty, especially if you are a fan of reds! While I'm not the biggest fan ever of the colour red, I do really like this slightly darker shade! AND this is a colour that I would totally wear especially considering the current season. 

Now, before I move onto the formula portion of this here review, I want to quickly apologise for the quality of my photos! My old camera died and my new camera loses focus whenever I try to take a photo of my nails (I have no idea why and it is VERY frustrating). I do intend on taming that darn camera eventually and figuring out a way on getting it to focus but for now I am using my old,old camera and uh, lets just say it doesn't take the most amazing photos in the world so I'm very sorry guys! Anyway! Formula! The formula on this polish is so very amazing, I'm so impressed! The polish went on velvety smooth and the colour pigmentation was epic! I didn't think I would be able to get this opaque in one coat on these 'claws' but I was wrong! It was a one coater! One coat! Single! Hooray!  One thing I will say is that the polish that I have had the wide Essie brush and not the skinny one and I think that it might be harder on longer nails to get it fully opaque in a single coat with the skinny Essie brush, but Y'know, that's just speculation on my part!

Well guys! We have come to the concluding paragraph of this review! Overall I must say that I am quite impressed with this beauty. While the colour is not the most spectacularly unique colour in the world, I still think that it's a really great classic colour and its amazing for the holiday season! My fave thing about this polish has got to be the formula though! So smoooooth and soooooo pigmented, I'm in love! I hope you guys enjoyed this review and that you all have an amazing Christmas and holiday season!
May your nails and holidays be good!
Gabby

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 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

Hi again everybody! I am here today with the second part of my Sinful Colours New Shades 2019 collection review which is a comparison post! In this post, I will be doing comparisons for each nail  polish in the collection as well as including some extra swatch photos for each polish! Y'know what, I have never done a full post dedicated to comparisons before so I am excited! It was really interesting to see which polishes had more dupes and which polishes were hard to find dupes for, some were a lot harder to find dupes for than I was expecting. Oh! And in case you missed the swatch and review of this collection, you can read that post here . Now, It's time to compare some polishes! For this post we will be going in the same order of polishes as the swatch and review, y'know, just to make it easy to follow. Today we are starting with the first polish that I swatched and reviewed in the collection; Spring Fling. As you can see, this is a very pale purple colour. S
