Deborah Lippmann No More Drama and Through The Fire swatches

I picked up these two polishes from a sale at Nail Polish Canada. They are clearing out the DL's as they will no longer be carrying the brand.

No More Drama is a caramel shade with a rose gold shimmer. Slight pearl finish. Formula was thin, watch for pooling, but highly pigmented. Full coverage in two coats. Work appropriate, I would think. Quite liked this nude. Didn't seem to rebel against my skin tone. Created with Mary J. Blige.

Through The Fire is an aptly named deep garnet shade. Shimmer/pearl finish. Great formula with full coverage in two coats. Super shiny even without top coat. Very eye catching in person!

Overall, I really loved both of these! Great formula and shades. And even like them more since I got them on sale! Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Scofflaw Nail Varnish Cloud Cuckoo Land

Some pretty polish to show you today! Scofflaw Nail Varnish Cloud Cuckoo Land.

Cloud Cuckoo Land has a pale lavender creme base and is full of glitter in two shades of purple, copper, and white. I used two medium coats on short nails. No undies, but you could layer this. Nice glitter payout, but I recommend letting it sit upside down for awhile before applying as my larger glitters were all at the bottom. Photos are with top coat. I really enjoyed this polish. Pretty and feminine.






To purchase you have three options. Scofflaws Etsy shopLlarowe or Femme Fatale Cosmetics. No matter where you live, you have options. Please note that as I write this Scofflaw's Etsy store is empty, but I did see that this polish was available on Llarowe. Hope you enjoyed!

COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Catching Fire polish

Catching Fire, need I say more. So excited for this movie. Had to get the polish too. I chose three to try and will be showing those to you today. Seared Bronze, Rogue Red and Black Heat.

I'll just give you the rundown here so I don't keep repeating myself. First, they are all the small glosstini size bottles. Just be aware in case you were hoping for full size. All have very similar formulas. As in terrible, sadly. Even on my poor little nubbies I didn't get full coverage. At first I was trying thinner coats, three, still patchy. Switched to two thicker coats, still patchy. And then took forever to dry. No winning here. Besides the horrid application, the colours didn't exactly rock my boat. Maybe it's just that I like the series so much that I expected too much? For me, the only one that was tolerable was Black Heat. Remember, just my opinion everyone! Don't hate on me if you happen to love these!

Well, thoughts? Have you tried any of this collection? Am I the only one who isn't a fan? Anyway, thanks for stopping by today. Hope to be back with something prettier soon!
