Piggy Polish "Vincent's Stars"

Hi everyone and happy almost Friday!  Today's nail polish is Piggy Polish's "Vincent's Stars" which is clearly named after the painter Vincent Van Gogh, whose paintings I really love.

"Vincent's Stars" is a fun royal blue color with silver shimmer in it that reminds me of VanGogh's painting Starry Starry Night.  Formula wise "Vincent's Stars" was very easy to apply and was opaque after two coats of polish.  There were also no visible streak marks, which is nice in a nail polish that has shimmer.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Vincent's Stars" for about three days before there were visible tip chips.

Overall I quite like Piggy Polishes "Vincent's Stars."  Everything about about this nail polish is great and I will definitely be wearing this polish over and over again!

Ciaté "Loop The Loop"

Hi everyone!  Today's nail polish is Ciaté's "Loop The Loop."  I have a mini bottle of "Loop The Loop" because it came as part of a set last Christmas (2014).  The set is called Mini Mani Mansion and it looks like this:

"Loop The Loop" is a pastel lemon yellow polish.  Formula wise this polish is fantastic and was very easy to apply.  After two coats of polish "Loop The Loop" was completely opaque but did have a fair amount of noticeable streak marks.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Loop The Loop" for about five full days before there were tip chips and the nail polish started to crack.

Overall I am very pleased with Ciaté's "Loop The Loop."  Everything about this nail polish is nice and I will definitely be wearing it again soon!

butter LONDON "Two Finger Salute"

Hi everyone and happy Last Day of Summer!  (At least for everyone around me in North Carolina!) Today's nail polish is butter LONDON's "Two Finger Salute."

"Two Finger Salute" is a unique dusty teal colored polish with small gold flaky glitter.  I originally purchased this color because the name reminded me of the three-finger salute they do in The Hunger Games books and movies, but I ended up loving the color once it was on my nails!  Formula wise "Two Finger Salute" is fantastic!  It was super easy to apply and after two coats of polish there were no visible streak marks and it was completely opaque.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Two Finger Salute" for about four days before there were any visible chips.

Overall I am very pleased with butter LONDON's "Two Finger Salute."  Everything about this nail polish is great and I will definitely be wearing it again soon!

Rimmel London "Mind The Gap, Victoria"

Hi guys!  Today's nail polish is Rimmel London's "Mind The Gap, Victoria."  I just had to have this polish because the name is a shout out to London's Tube system, and if you know me then you know I love London!

"Mind The Gap, Victoria" is a lovely periwinkle color.  Formula wise "Mind The Gap, Victoria" is great!  After two coats the polish was completely opaque and streak free.  Rimmel London's brushes are nice and wide, which helped make the application very easy.  As for chipping "Mind The Gap, Victoria" lasted for about three days before there were visible chips.

Overall I am quite pleased with Rimmel London's "Mind The Gap, Victoria."  I love everything about this polish from its name to is fantastic formula and application!  I will definitely be wearing this nail polish again and again!

China Glaze "Stop That Train!"

Hi guys!  I know it isn't anywhere close to being Autumn yet (well at least not in North Carolina!) but I couldn't resist pulling out a nice fall hue.  So today's nail polish is China Glaze's "Stop That Train!"

"Stop That Train!" is a gorgeous Autumn leaf red with a hint of golden shimmer.  Formula wise this nail polish was pretty good, however the brush did like to pick up a fair amount of polish every time.  After two coats of nail polish there were no visible streak marks and it was completely opaque.  As for chipping I was able to wear "Stop That Train" for about two and a half or three days before I noticed any chips.

Overall I like China Glaze's "Stop That Train!"  For the most part I really like this polish but I wish that it had lasted longer than three days before chipping.  However since I love the color so much I will wear "Stop That Train!" again!

Thanks for reading my blog!  :)

Julep "Bunny"

Hi everyone!  While it is still Summer and acceptable to wear white I decided to pull out a white nail polish to brighten up nails!  So today's nail polish is Julep's "Bunny."

"Bunny" is a bright white polish with a minor gold shimmer in it.  Formula wise "Bunny" is watery and it is a bit difficult to apply.  After two coats of nail polish "Bunny" was completely opaque and streak free.  However because of the watery formula the polish was pretty thick on my nails and it had a hard time drying!  In fact I struggled so much that I ended up only wearing "Bunny" for a few hours before removing it.

Overall I am disappointed with Julep's "Bunny."  The watery formula made it difficult to apply, thick coats of polish and it took an eternity to dry!  Basically the color is pretty and that's it.

Sally Hansen Velvet "Velour"

Hi guys!  Today's nail polish is Sally Hansen's Velvet in "Velour." Velvet is one of Sally Hansen's textured collections and based on the name it makes your nails slightly fuzzy like velvet.

"Velour" is a fun royal purple color.  Formula wise "Velour" was easy to apply and surprisingly could have been a one-coater!  I used two coats of polish per the directions on the bottle which said apply two thin coats of polish.  The texture was unique to say the least.  I expected it to be fuzzier or somewhat 3-D, but it wasn't.  Instead it looked more like a stippling effect and when "Velour" dried it had a matte finish.  Here's how it looked matte:

Since I didn't care for how the matte version of "Velour" looked so I decided to apply a shiny topcoat and see how it looked.  The topcoat I use is Orly's "Sec'N'Dry."  Here's how it turned out:

Overall I am slightly disappointed by Sally Hansen's "Velour."  While I like the color and I was curious about the Velvet texture it went downhill after that.  The texture was a let down and the unexpected matte finish took away from the color.  I did however, like how "Velour" looked after I applied the shiny topcoat.  Not sure how often I'll wear this nail polish but when I do I'll stick to adding a shiny topcoat.
