Revlon Nail Polish in Naughty


Polish Source: Freshe.Coat

I was so disappointed when I missed out on Revlon's Perplex because it is a close dupe of Chanel's Paradoxal. Naughty is a cheaper alternative to have the same look of Paradoxal. Revlon's Naughty is a grayish purple with a lavender shimmer to it. This nail polish has a good formula and only took me two coats for it to become completely opaque. I still did three though just to be safe. When I used Naughty I also used the Revlon ColorStay base coat and top coat so it lasted over a week without any chipping. It started to fade on the very tips of my nails but that was about it.

Wet N Wild Nail Polish in Party Of Five Glitters


Photo Source: Steph's Closet

Wet N Wild released Party of Five Glitters when the rainbow glitter nail polishes were all the rage. This was the first rainbow glitter nail polish that I picked up and I like it, but its not my favorite. Party of Five Glitters is  a mix of baby blue, green, turquoise, fuchsia, red and silver in different sized hexagonal shaped glitter. Some people said that this could be a dupe to Deborah Lippman's Happy Birthday but it's definitely not. This glitter  is one that is more of a top coat, not a stand alone polish. If you love nail polish like I do, I would suggest picking this up since it's still a pretty glitter for only $1.99.

Confetti Nail Polish in Moonstruck

I recently picked this nail polish up for only $1.99 at my CVS. This is Moonstruck by Confetti which is similar to a lot of the other taupe nail polishes out there but I couldn't resist at only $1.99. I do like that this nail polish has more of a purple undertone to it. This polish only took two coats to become completely opaque and dries fairly fast. To me this looks a lot like You Don't Know Jacques by OPI but I don't own that shade so I couldn't really say. I use a top coat with any polish that I use.

E.L.F. Studio HD Blush Fall 2012

Superstar
Showstopper
Headliner


Diva
Encore

I am so glad that a drugstore brand has finally come out with something that seems to be a dupe of the Make Up For Ever HD Blushes at a fraction of the price. The Make Up For Ever blushes retail for $26.00 and the E.L.F. ones retail for only $3. Thats a huge difference. Right now E.L.F. has only released five different shades but they vary in shades. I personally ordered Headliner and Superstar for the moment to see how they end up working out on my skin. E.L.F. promises highly pigmented color that creates a long-lasting result for all day wear. I cannot wait for these to come in the mail along with some other goodies that I ordered. I will definitely post a review once I actually get them in the mail. These are available for purchase on the E.L.F. website for now but I hope to see them in stores soon.

Wet N Wild Wild Shine in Sparked


1 Coat
This a super pretty pink glitter with some silver glitter in it as well. There is definitely more pink as you can tell.  This retails for only $0.99!!! How can you go wrong?!? This is a great glitter for underneath crackle polishes, especially black. It would be nice on top of a pink nail polish too. I've even used it to do a "glitter nail" and paint the rest of my nails another color. I can get away with one coat, but I usually do two just so it would be ever more opaque. This is pretty close to OPI Teenage Dream from the Katy Perry collection. I wouldn't call it an exact dupe, but its definitely close.
