Zoya Remove + V.S. Cutex Advanced Revival

Pin It Today's post is a little different than you are used to from me. BUT It's still nail related :] However, I warn you that it is longer and more wordy than most of my posts! But worth it!

Cutex Advanced Revival (left) , Zoya Remove + (right)

I don't know if you guys have heard of, or received a sample of, the new Cutex Advanced Revival. I received a sample felt pad last month and I was pretty impressed with it so I decided to give a bottle a shot!

Now, why the comparison? BECAUSEEEE it reminded me and a few other girls I've talked to of Zoya Remove + and because Zoya is $9.99 for a 8oz bottle and Cutex is $1.96 (EDIT: at Walmart) for a 6oz bottle.

So jump over and take a look at my comparison research of these two removers:

I like green polish and I cannot lie. [Sinful Colors greens]

Pin It I know you guys know I love greens and blues, mostly because I've beaten a dead horse! Anyways, I already did a post on blue China Glaze polishes and I thought it would be appropriate to post some GREENS!

Sinful Colors L->R: Last Chance, Envy and Leap Flog

Swatches and a comparison after the jump!

ORLY Space Cadet VS HARD CANDY Beetle

Pin It Dupe? No dupe? Semi-Dupe? I know this is probably OLD news to most people but I was finally able to get my paws on Orly Space Cadet and had to compare it to my Hard Candy Beetle for kicks and giggles.

TOP: Orly Space Cadet, BOTTOM: Hard Candy Beetle

Swatches and comparisons of both after the jump! Super pretty duochromes you don't wanna miss! ;]

ZOYA - GMA Promo Trio: Miley, Sweet & Pippa

Pin It If you saw my Facebook post about Zoya Remove+ and the love affair I have with it, then you know I didn't skip out on the GMA promo! How could I pass it up?! Haha I ended up settling on the "Trio #4" which included: Miley, Sweet and Pippa.

 L->R: Zoya Miley, Sweet and Pippa

I hate to say this. I never thought I would. I've met a Zoya I don't like, or even disappointed in :((((((

JESSICA: Smoky Feather & Iridescent Eye

Pin It A few weeks ago I purchased 2 polishes from the lovely Sandy, at Dandy Nails' Blog Sale! I ALMOST bought these off the Jessica Cosmetics site then I saw she was selling them for a cheaper shipping price :] (Gotta save my money wherever I can to buy more pretties!)

 Top: Jessica Iridescent Eye, Bottom: Jessica Smoky Feather

These 2 pretties are part of Jessica's Peacock Queen Collection. There is one more color in the collection but I wasn't as interested in it as much as these two.

Swatches and a possible comparison after the jump!

TONY MOLY (Korean Polishes): Milky Way, Pinky Star & Shooting Star

Pin It I saw the Polish Well release swatches of these Tony Moly, Korean, polishes. I tried my DARNEDEST to decipher the site she linked to, yeah no luck there haha.

CHINA GLAZE Haul Post 1

Pin It Alrighty, So I went a little crazy ordering from 8ty8beauty.com. I did get 2 Color Club polishes (Mol-ten and Wish Upon a Rockstar), but mostly all were China Glaze haha. Here's what I got:

 

L to R: It's Alive, Street Chic (I ordered Below Deck?), First Mate,

Traffic Jam, Four Leaf Clover, Doll House and Life Preserver

I'm only going to review 4 of them on this post, and I'll post the other 3 later this weekend! Please bare with me on the pictures. I usually use my iPhone 4, but I found my point and shoot in some of the boxes we haven't unpacked. They both have issues picking up particular colors. Ughhhh!

First up, It's Alive from the 2011 Haunting Collection: 2 Coats

I saw this swatch when it came out a few months ago and fell in love with it! I'm loving the olive green medium and small glitters! This is perfect to wear whenever, or layer it over black and it's the perfect haunting Halloween color (or well any other time bahaha, but it sure does change over black!):

I also found this a lot easier to remove than most glitter polishes.

Next up, Street Chic from the Fall 2011 Metro Collection: 2 Coats

Gorgeous, chocolate brown creme polish. Two thin coats did well for full coverage! This wasn't what I ordered. I was a little confused when I got it since I have Milani's Teddy-Bare which is SLIGHTLY similar but SC is darker and more rich, less gray. I don't mind SC at all! I just wish I had Below Deck instead haha.

Here is the comparison between China Glaze Street Chic and Milani's Teddy-Bare, to show... and to ease my mind a little haha. The difference is a lot more evident when they're next to each other, in the bottle they look a lot a like:

 

As you can see, Teddy-Bare is more gray and Street Chic is a lot more rich and chocolatey. I like them both equally, might do a brownish gradient some time soon maybe.

Third, First Mate Spring 2011 Anchors Away Collection: 2 Coats

 

IN LOVE. This is what I was looking for when I purchased Milani's Midnight Satin (which is more black). This is a gorgeous navy creme polish. Again, 2 coats did the trick! Such a smooth, beautiful navy blue! This is a must have!

And for the record, it's Anchors Aweigh ;] not Away, lettin' the Navy wife in me come out a little haha.

Lastly for today, Traffic Jam again, the Fall 2011 Metro Collection - Uptown: 2 Coats

I would consider this a raspberry, magenta, creme I think. It is a beautiful color for sure! A great go-to pink. It is verrrryyy similar to Revlon's Plummy, which is SLIGHTLY darker than Traffic Jam. Two thin coats, like the other cremes I posted today. Just a beautiful color!

And I leave you with 2 nail arts. A black french matte mani, which a friend requested on Instagram (@LACERZ if you want to follow/stalk) and the mani I finished with after swatching these CGs haha.

Sinful's Black on Black and Hard Candy's Matte-ly in Love. I only left it on for a day, I'm not a big fan of black nails on me haha. I DO love this matte polish though. I've tried both Essie and ELF's mattes. ELFs is horrid, to be honest. So streaky and rarely went matte in the 3 bottles I had! Essie's wasn't bad but I had issues with it un-matte-ing when I used my hand lotion. 

Zoya Marina, which I added last minute to their get 2 free polishes/free ship $25+ promo. I LOVE it. Beautiful dusty, metallic blue. I added a quick konad stamp using Black on Black by Sinful so it wasn't so boring for a few days haha.

I leave you with this long post haha

Until next time,

Lacey
