Forget Me Not Friday: HARE POLISH - Down the West Coast

Pin It
Hare Polish Down the West Coast

CONGRATULATIONS! You made it to Friday! :P It's once again, Forget Me Not Friday - the post where I grab something out of my never ending basket of untrieds haha. This week I have Hare Polish Down the West Coast to share with you. It's been a few months since I swatched a Hare, so lets' chance that haha. Check it out down below!

Hare Polish Down the West Coast

This polish is from the VIVA LOS ANGELES Collection from last year. Down the West Coast is a "rosy pink jelly with more of a 'marbled' effect", it also has "blue flakies, gold flakies & gold shimmer!"  Marble and granite is exactly what I thought of! My husband has a bowling ball that has this same kind of effect to it. While the glitter is obviously suspended in the base, they are nearly one when it comes to this polish. I don't find this polish to be a jelly... more of a crelly.

I did 3 coats of Down the West Coast. Although the polish is packed with tons of flakies, it had a nice smooth application. It was easy to work with and gave me no issues. Dry time was great and very quick. I had to head out the door right after I swatched it, no time for Seche Vite, and I didn't even mess it up :P

POLISH INFORMATION Brand: Hare Polish

Price: Full Sized $10
Where to Find: Etsy, Llarowe, Shop Eclecticco, Femme Fatale

So there you have it! I thought this polish was very unique and fun without punching you in the face. I really liked the "marbled" effect with the flakies. What do you think? :]

Have a good one,
I bought this myself. Is that good enough for you, Federal Trade Commission?

Forget Me Not Friday: ESTEE LAUDER- Fiery Hot

Pin It
Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Fiery Hot

IT'S FRIDAY! The polish I have to share with you is Estee Lauder Pure Color in Fiery Hot. I received this as a birthday gift back in 2013 LOL So, my birthday being next week - I figured I'd swatch it finally? I've never tried Estee polishes, or any products for that matter, so I'm excited to see what my sister picked out for me!

Fiery hot is a brick red base with magenta and gold micro-flakies all up in it. Oh my my my, look at that macro. Those flakies are on point. To be honest, I entirely forgot what this polish looked like until I took it out of the box again yesterday. I'm quite impressed with how gorgeous this is!

I did 3 coats of Fiery Hot. The application was smooth, easy to work with and easy to build up. For a $20+ polish, this had a $20+ quality formula IMHO. The dry time was great. I am happy to report the dry time was quick! Great color, formula, and dry time? Way to go, Estee!

POLISH INFORMATIONBrand: Estee Lauder - Pure Color

Price: $21 MSRP
Where to Find: Website, Product Locator

So this is a polish that was released in the Fall of 2012. The info above is for Estee Lauder polish in general. However - there are a few bottles of Fiery Hot in a travel size for like $10 on eBay or $30+ on Amazon if you have to have it :]

I was pretty impressed with this polish. I'm always iffy on high-end polish but this one turned out well. Not sure if I'd dish out the $20/bottle but I will definitely keep Estee in mind while polish shopping.

Have a great afternoon!

This was a gift. Sometimes, people like me. Is that good enough for you, Federal Trade Commission?

REVLON: Royal and ESSIE: Shine of the Times

Pin It I've been swatching my haul for the past 2 hours and I couldn't decide which nail mail polish to use haha. So I went with the one I bought today.

Revlon Top Speed in Royal. Probably the most gorgeous jelly I own. And I was worried about it being fast drying because I usually stay away from those due to never having good luck with them. Nope! Dried fast, application was amazing. Opaque in 2 costs. I just love this!!

I was going through all my glitters and other top coat and layering options. Decided to give Essie Shine of the Times a go around. I felt like I had forgotten about it :( I feel like this is one of the BEST life decisions I've ever made, look at this amazingness!

2 coats Revlon Royal, 1 Coat Essie Shine of the Times

Likeeee?!?

Until next time (probably tomorrow haha),

CHINA GLAZE: Hunger Games Capitol Colors Collection

Pin It I'm keeping this short and sweet! ONLY because there's a bunch of people reviewing these. But I couldn't buy these and NOT blog about them because I love the colors so much! I don't even know the first thing about Hunger Games haha, I haven't read the books yet and I'm not sure if I will BUT I couldn't pass these babies up!

I didn't buy all the colors, I am still going to buy one more (my Sally's was out), I only bought them because I had a $10 off $20 coupon which made them cheaper than online with my Sally's card :] (That coupon is expired but here is a $5 off $25 coupon that is valid until the end of this year)

ANYHOW! I picked up 5 colors:



Thumb to pinky: Electrify, Luxe and Lush (over a black), Harvest Moon, Riveting, and Fast Track

These colors don't look like anything I have in my 250+ collection, that's why I bought them. They all have 2 coats except for Electrify has 3.

Electrify: I love this glitter, perfect balance of gold and glitter not too much or too little of either. I thought of Christmas! haha
Luxe and Lush: This is so unique. I consider it a flakie polish, but when it's on the nail it looks like shards of glass! SO cool!
Harvest Moon: Very, very, very pretty copper color! It honestly reminds me of a penny :P
Riveting: This reminded me a lot of polishes from Zoya's Sunshine Collection, I really like that collection and this color. It's red jelly, but not too red it has a lot more orange in it.
Fast Track: Probably my favorite. I just love this taupe color with the gold glitter flecks through out! It's just SO pretty!

I'm loving all these colors I picked up :] I am going to buy Argo, the green shimmer but that was the one color missing from the store, how rude! (just kidding). You can purchase these from Transdesign.com or Head2ToeBeauty.com, and of course SallyBeauty.com (there may be more, these are just where I've personally seen them).

Hope this helps some of you who are interested in the colors! :]

Until next time,
Lacey
