Swatch it Saturday: Sally Hansen Peachy Keen

Now that I'm not doing any special nail art for a bit it's back to doing Swatch it Saturdays. Today's polish is Sally Hansen's Peachy Keen. It's a sheer skin toned polish perfect for french manicures. The pic looks different than how it did in person because of the flash but you get the idea. I did 2 coats for the pic though 1 would work better for a french mani or 3 if you wanna go for the mannequin hand look. I've used this polish a few times since I got it and it's definitely worth it(though I did get it on sale when my rite-aid was remodeling).

Swatch it Saturday-L'Oreal Penthouse Pink

It's Saturday so that means today is Swatch it Saturday :)! I decided to swatch L'Oreal Penthouse Pink because I wore it a while back and it was so pretty I wanted to wear it again. Penthouse Pink is a light baby pink that covers in the standard two coats. I love it not only because of its color and application, but also because it makes me seem less pale than I am. Always a plus in my eyes.

I also wanted to test out a new color that I got the other day so as an accent nail I put one coat of NYC Color Classic Coral Creme over the ring finger.

I chipped the thumb nail when I was making egg salad for my mom.

Swatch it Saturday

Sorry I didn't post a swatch yesterday. The weather here was kind of bad and I got stuck at a friend's house away from all my polish. So if all goes well I should have a swatch up for next weeks Swatch it Saturday.

Swatch it Saturday-Essie Go Overboard

I got this polish on Wednesday as part of Wishlist Wednesday and decided to use it for Swatch it Saturday. Essie Go Overboard is a pretty dark blue that if I googled correctly was part of the spring 2012 collection? I don't know I'm more of a dark colors in fall, pastels in spring kinda girl so I'm not sure if I would put this color in a spring collection but oh well that's just me. This was a one coater(awesome!) but I had some application issues(operator error), so I did another one to cover everything up. Clean up was another issue because it's such a dark color that it smeared when I went to get it off my skin using remover. No biggy though it will come off hopefully when I wash my hands. Removing later though might have some issues and I'm hoping my base coat does it's job so my nails won't get stained. We shall see I suppose.

Swatch it Saturday-NYC Color Chinatown

Sorry this is so late I woke up late and had plans with my friends so I didn't have enough time to post this. NYC Color Chinatown is a really dark sparkly purple that pretty much looks black in 2 coats. I thought this would look different on my nails so it's not my favorite. I would probably use this as the base color for a nebula nail art since it's dark and sparkly. It went on smooth though so that is always a plus. Nothing worse than a color you thought you'd like that goes on horrible.

Swatch it Saturday-Un-named Rue beaute

I got this polish a few weeks ago when I went to Rue 21 with my friends. It doesn't have a name sadly, but is a really pretty turquoise. The color in the pic is pretty close to the actual color though just a tad more green. My camera doesn't like to show the green in polishes :(. This was 2 coats and maybe I should've done a third I don't know. I did test out a new crackle over this though but forgot to take a pic because I went bowling last night and there were a few causalities. So next post will have little stubbies. Anywho, I'd definitely wear this polish again. It's pretty, went on great though may be a 3 coater depending on your preference. The only bad thing I could think of is not having a name. I even googled the company trying to see if it had a site where there would be a name but came up empty. Maybe I just gave up too soon and it's really out there? I'll have to try again and get back to you.

Swatch it Saturday-Revlon Spanish Moss

I've decided to put more time into my blog. Starting with Swatch it Saturday's! Every Saturday I'll pick a polish from my stash and swatch it. My first Swatch it Saturday will be Revlon's Spanish Moss.

This polish came out earlier in the year as part of a spring collection. I don't know if it's just me but I feel like the color is more of a fall? The first time I saw this I instantly thought of a camo green. I think it would be perfect. It also has a bit of a subtle shimmer to it when you turn your hand or the bottle the right way in the light. It went on pretty well and was almost a one-coater. I'd definitely try other colors from this collection based on this polish. Good job Revlon! :)

 It's darker in person, my camera just isn't a big fan of greens. Also, the shimmer is easier to see when the pic is enlarged.
