Swatches and Comparison pt4

More swatches! :D Here we go!: 



FLASH!
Essie vs. Essie
(From L to R): Essie Peach Daiquiri, Essie Cute as a Button, Peach Daiquiri, Cute as a Button
this is 2 coats of each.

My camera doesn't like me. For some reason, It doesn't like to capture the colors true colors. *sigh. I need to play around to see if I can adjust the camera setting to see if the colors will capture better.

But in the mean time, these pictures will have to do. Hope you guys won't hate me haha. The non flash pictures are defintely too orange. These two colors are both pink. Peach Daiquiri is more a vibrant pink compared to Cute as a Button, which is a softer pink. In the picture with the flash, the flash soften the colors up a bit as well, I think it is more vibrant. 

I hope you guys are doing well! <3

Swatches and Comparison pt3

More swatches! Aren't you impressed that I'm keeping this up? haha :D I'm so proud of myself!


FLASH!

Essie vs. Ulta
(L to R): Essie Tart Deco, Ulta Peach Parfait, Tart Deco, Peach Parfait
3 coats of each here.

UGH, I hate how the camera distorts the color sometimes. This is one of them. If I put the camera on flash, the colors look too pink and if the camera isn't on flash, the color is too orange. BLAH. I think the actual color is the blend between the two pictures between flash and no flash. 

Anyways, as you can see, the colors are very similar. Tart Deco is just a tiny bit more pink and Peach Parfait is more..well, peachy. I think Ulta makes a lot of nice dupes of colors. Although its not my favorite polish, it is definitely not bad, especially for the price and all the sales that they have. I love sales! :) haha 

Hope you guys are all doing well! <3

Swatches and Comparison pt2

So most of the comparisons that I am doing is with nail polishes from the haul post I did a while back. 


Essence vs. Ulta

(From right to left): Essence No more Drama, Ulta Vintage Violet, No More Drama, Vintage Violet
This is 2 coats of each.

I am definitely eyeing the Essence polish more, although I love both. I'm not the biggest pink fan and the Ulta polish has a pink tint to it, but it's still gorgeous! This is also my first essence polish, and I am definitely not disappointed! Application was pretty smooth and the color is awesome! :)

Hope you guys are having a good one! <3

Swatches and Comparison pt1

So I decided to do some comparisons of polishes. This is first of many that I have lined up! 

Essence vs. Sally Hansen

One my nails (from left to right): Essence Space Queen, Sally Hansen Disco Ball, Space Queen, Disco Ball

In the bottle, Essence had a slight pink tint, but on the nails, they both look pretty much the same. In fact, I think they have almost the same glitter density as well. I love both of these though :) I love glitters!

Hope you guys are doing well! <3

Swatches!

So I have finally decided to do some swatches..my first swatch post! hehe

Okay, so I put these colors together since these where the holiday polishes that came out and I'm sure you guys have all seen swatches of these colors anyways. But that okay, this is good practice for me for posting and swatching :)


The first color is China Glaze's Peace on Earth. I love this color. Such an awesome green yellow. This is 2 coats here. 


China Glaze's Jolly Holly. Here, I only did one coat, but it was opaque enough to stand alone.




China Glaze Little Drummer Boy. I don't think my camera really captured the right color, but let me say, it is such an amazing blue color and nicely opaque, this is only one coat. Love it! 

Anyways, so this is my first swatch post haha, I have more that I will be posting up :) Let me know how I can improve these swatch post, I feel like I didn't say much at all for this post...but maybe that is a good thing since I tend to ramble on about nothing :P hehe

Anyways, hope everyone is doing well. It is still in the holiday season, so, Happy Holidays! <3
