LVX Monaco

Press Sample 
Today is the last day of the LVX sale on Gloss48 as well as the last day of my Rafflecopter giveaway for the entire collection so here's the last polish from the Spring 2014 collection! This is LVX Monaco - a bright smurf blue creme. I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

Real talk ladies and gentlemen. This color was not up to my normal LVX par. You can see how messy it is all over my cuticles. I couldn't get this polish to just plain behave. The formula itself wasn't bad, but it was just a parasitic mess. 

More frustratingly, I wore this polish for about 30 minutes before removing and I had staining. Now, I may have been able to avoid that by using a different base coat or two coats of base coat but frankly what I did, didn't work. I was able to just clean my nails with a nail brush, soap and water - so no big deal in the LONG run but boo hiss. I do think this is more attributed to the color, not the brand.

LVX [Website | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Instagram] is available on their website. It is 10-free to include Toluene and Camphor, vegan and cruelty free. Use promo code POLISHGALORE for 20% off your purchase!

LVX Cameo

Press Sample 
The Gloss48 sale for LVX is almost up! Check out this saucy little number, LVX Cameo! It's a crisp magenta creme that is a tad darker than most magentas in my collection. I used a base coat of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

Formula was super sweet - no pooling, no flooding, no staining.

I had a tiny bit of sun fleeting through some clouds when I got this photo. This polish is the epitome of sophistication to me.

Meanwehile in some indirect light, this polish is a pretty little lady. Remember, you can get this for 20% off on Gloss48 for just a few more days!

LVX Orchid

Press Sample
Okay, yesterday I raved about Roux, but every winner needs a runner up, and that's what LVX Orchid is for me this time around. Playing homage to the Pantone Color of the Year, Orchid is a lovely medium lilac creme. I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

So the sun came out all of a sudden and I got so excited and started taking photos. You can see how opaque this polish is and how well it applied. I needed very little to no clean up.

This photo is in indirect light and you can see it pulling a tiny bit red purple instead of light purple but that may be playing off my skin. Either way, this polish is pretty fantastic. Definitely my second runner up and definitely something I will be reaching for again soon.

Then I found out this past week that the polishes were being sold for 50% off! Get your local Sally's sooner than later and pick up your favorites! I got Push and Shove and In True Stefani Fashion.

Zoya Awaken and Monet Collection

If you're a long time reader, you know that I'm really not a fan of most fall collections, or winter, but when spring comes around I'm a happy, happy camper. That's how it was when I heard (and saw) the Zoya Awaken and Monet Collection!

LVX Roux

Press Sample
Have you decided on a LVX polish to splurge on yet? Remember, the Gloss48 sale ends soon! So my absolute stand out of the spring 2014 collection is this beautiful coral creme, Roux. I am absolutely obsessed with coral lately (currently wearing a coral on my toes too) and hope to see it take off again in fashion. For this manicure, I used a base of Cult Nails Get It On, 2 coats of polish and a top coat of Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That.

This polish is absolute perfection. The color is so spot on, the formula was so opaque and lovely, no pooling, no staining. This is what I expect from LVX, every time, and they totally delivered. If you can only buy one LVX this round, GET THIS ONE.

China Glaze Crinkled Chrome

Okay, I know people have some pretty strong opinions about this next collection. I have a love hate - it reminds me SO much of the Easter pastel Hershey Kisses that my grandmother used to stock in her candy dish. I have these polishes in my stash here at home and looking forward to wearing them, especially at Easter - good memories for me.
