Gelish MINI Snow Day Escape Winter Color Collection

Any of my readers from the northeast? I hear you're probably pretty sick of snow days but don't overlook this winter collection from Gelish and Gelish MINI. My stand out color is definitely 360 Black Flip.

LVX Sanguine

Press Sample
Looking for a red hot jelly that's vegan and cruelty free? Look no further than LVX Sanguine from the Fall 2012 collection. I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.

I love how squishy this polish is. You can see a little bit of VNL but I'm too excited about the jelly. I did have a little staining on my cuticles but not at the nails so overall I'm calling this a win.

LVX [Website | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Instagram] is available on their website for $16 a 15 ml/0.5 oz bottle.  It is big 5 free to include Toluene and Camphor, vegan and cruelty free.

JINsoon Nails NYFW 2014

Last September at NYFW Spring 2014 (wrap your head around that one), JINsoon had this crazy have wiped off black grunge look for the Tess Gibserson that I absolutely hated. Because of that, I wasn't quite looking forward to her fall looks this month but I'll let you be the judge. All images courtesy of JINsoon nails.

LVX Luxe

Press Sample
Now here is a polish more up my alley! From the LVX Winter Resort 2013, Luxe is the perfect partner to Alchemy. This silver metallic-like shimmer is the perfect year round color for spacey nails or just high fashion. Or at least that's what I call it and it's my blog so I win. 

I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. I was absolutely in love with this polish.

Now I know another certain company has come out with a chrome like silver polish backed by a certain singer... and they say "This is for one night only." Not LVX. This polish will shine brightly for up to a week without chips. Like I said, I did use a top coat and that helps keep the nails pretty and chip free. 

Definitely the standout of the collection for me. It may be because I'm obsessed with silver but it's also just a great staple polish.

Dermelect NYFW 2014 - Cynthia Rowley

Have you tried Dermelect yet? I saw their line in Ulta this weekend - quite fitting because they just did a rocking rainbow showing at Cynthia Rowley for NYFW 2014. Please enjoy the following - I certainly did. (Images provided by Dermelect - Photographer Credit Fred Namdar.)

LVX Tribute

 

Press Sample Also from the LVX Winter/Resort 2013 line was Tribute, a dark blue creme leaning on jelly. Dark blues tend to scare me as well because of staining issues - no one wants to look like they were killing Smurfs!

I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. I used a small concealer brush for clean up because I did get some on the cuticles, but otherwise, application went well.

As you can see, my camera just freaked out when it came to photographing. That, and CSI would have a field day with the prints I left on the bottle! Thankfully, I didn't have any staining issues when I removed the polish but this is definitely a bold blue that I feel looks best on short nails on myself.

Morgan Taylor Casual Cool

Morgan TaylorCASUAL COOL COLLECTION SPRING 2014

I can't help but love anything that throws back to the 90s. Many days, I feel like it is still the 90s (I'm not willing to admit how old I am, to myself). These colors are rocking for spring as well as a nice nod to the my past.  (Images courtesy of Morgan Taylor.)

CND NYFW 2014 - The Blonds

The show that I was excited the most for was CND. They have been doing looks for The Blonds for awhile now, and they are always show stoppers with amazing nail work. Please enjoy the following. (All images courtesy of CND.)

LVX Alchemy

Press Sample
From last year's Winter Resort Collection, LVX came out with a beautiful metallic-like shimmer gold - Alchemy. Now, you know how I feel about gold - it's pretty but not on my skin. Regardless, I was happy to see this line come out with a gold for those who do rock the look.

I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and Cult Nails Wicked Fast to top. The formula was very good on this bottle - no streaks or pulling and no flooding in the cuticles.

You might feel more comfortable wearing a ridge filling base coat with this polish if you have deep ridges but for the most part, I found this polish very easy to wear.
