L'oreal Infalliable Gel Nail Polish Pastels Swatch and Review (Boxing Day Haul Part 4)

Image
Hello everybody! What's up today? Here in thegoodnails world we are coming to the final installment my Boxing Day Haul Series. It sure was fun making a series, I wanna do it again soon! For our final installment I will be sharing some of my favourite finds from Boxing day; L'oreal Infalliable Gel pastel nail polishes! But, why am I so excited about these polishes, you ask? Well, for a start I LOVE pastels, I can't get enough of them! The second reason is that I had been eyeing one of these polishes (Marshmallow Power, especially) online, and was beyond belief when I found them tucked away in a clearance section, it was fate! If you aren't familiar with the Infalliable Gel range from L'oreal, these polishes are 5ml and come with a top-coat that is also to be used as a base coat. Each of these top/base coats are to only be used for the polish that they come with. Three polishes are apart of a pastel trio, the other one being one of the earlier releases from this...

Sinful Colors Swatch and Review (Boxing Day Haul Series Part 3)

Image
Hello everyone! I'm back today with another instalment in my Boxing Day Haul Series. This time were lookin at some swatcheroos from Sinful Colors! Two of these are from Kylie Jenner collections and one is from the pastel neon matte collection. I love the polishes from the 'trend matters' Kylie Jenner collection, and I'm always happy to add one to my collection, especially a yellow! Now, here we go with the swatches! Let's start by looking at the pastel neon matte, It's an interesting combination; pastel+neon+matte. This one is called Under The Inbluence. The formula is quite thick and difficult to use, so the finish is still a bit streaky even at three coats. The colour doesn't really end up screaming neon to me; it's like a 2/5 on the brightness scale. Overall, this polish isn't the best. Oh, ho ho. This polish is my jam! When I looked on the bottom of the polish to find out what it was called, the sticker was missing, gasp! Luckily, I did a...

David Jones Nail Polishes Swatch and Review (Boxing Day Haul part 2)

Image
Hello again! Thanks for joining me in the secind installment of my boxing day haul series! This will cover a swatch and review of some Nail Polishes I picked up from David Jones. There are two smaller yellow polishes, one of which is pastel and the other is neon, and a three-pack of polishes. To my annoyance, none of the polishes in the three pack are named. Damn, I love reading the names of nail polishes! Ah, there they are! Oh man, that looks like an egg yolk! This is called Makia. It's a really bright neon yellow, even with no white base, but man! The formula does NOT self level very well, so it makes the polish look streaky and patch and lumpy if you don'y apply the polish with the utmost care (which, I unfortunately did not). Three coats is shown. This is the pastel yellow. I think its called 'sourise', but I can't read the super fancy writing on the label, that's just my guess really. This polish also had a leveling issue, not as bad as the...

Sportsgirl Nail It! Scented and Matte Nail Polish Swatch and Review (Boxing Day Haul Part 1)

Image
Hello, everybody! I promised you guys in my previous post that I would share with you my boxing day bargains and give 'em a swatch! Weeel, here I am with the first part of my swatchin' for boxin' (day). Just kidding, that's not the title.Unless, y'know, you guys want it to be, in which case consider it done :) As you can see, I picked up three polishes from Sportsgirl. They were fifty percent off, with an 50 per cent discount so they ended up being around $2.50 AUD a pop. When I took these babies home and peeled off the sticker with the discounted price on it, I almost screamed because lying underneath that innocent lookin' sticker was the word 'scented'. God, guys, when I wore Revlon's scented polish it my nose was constantly itchin, it stank so bad. It was so awful I couldn't keep the thing! While I was sceptical at first, I actually thought these polishes smelt really nice! They didn't trigger any allergies or anything at all! Here are...
