Nyx Asphalt Polish

I've been so excited to give this one a turn, it is Nyx polish in Asphalt. Which is a black base polish with rainbow glitter, it is wildly fun. Love it! This is two coats with of course a top off of Poshe.



Indoor lighting.



Outdoors in sunlight.



And I'd caved on my no buy this month, and bought three Zoya polishes. Indigo with it's multi colored glitter I couldn't resist, and of course I couldn't stop at one so to keep it company on it's journey with it came Rihana and Dita.

Nyx Titanic Polish

Decided to do a moon mani, this is my fav. style of application usually I'd use Revlon Color Stay in one of their two shades of red, vintage was the better one. That polish suited the style perfectly but was a (let me think of a non sailor mouth adjective) a...a...bear to remove, not unlike Purple Avenue's glitter extravaganza. Think they've long since stopped making it. But I digress (shocker), decided to give it a go with Nyx's Titanic and love the results. Cleaned up by using Nailene strips and a corrector pen, but still close up you can see it but looks fantastic under not such up close scrutiny. Maybe ^^ The Nyx formula is wonderful both coats dried extraordinarily quickly.

Petite Haul,Mad About Mango Polish, Smith's Lippy

Humming, coming atcha. Or something.


Righty, here's Mad About Mango, another of Revlon's scented line. I was surprised how well I liked it on, it pools a bit, but more fault lays with the fact of my application, must try and master applying above instead or right down in there. The scent, well it smells like any and all kinds of Hubba Bubba gum, ever, stronger than Not so Blue-Berry that's for sure. ^^



Here's my petite Nyx haul, three polishes that came in a box that could have shipped twenty, lol. These are gorgeous.



From left to right is Titanic,Purple Avenue and Asphalt. I'd had to have Asphalt after seeing swatches, anything black and with any hint of rainbow I must get my greedy mitts on.


Decided to try on Purple Avenue first, it has this amazing large chunky holographic glitter, reminds me of some Nfu Oh's. I'm wearing three coats and it gives this light flush of purple to the nails, I like how subtle it is. Bet this would be forgiving if you chipped it. Also this would make a dead lovely top coat. But I do recommend a clear coat over it, not from lack of shine but that not all the glitter lays flat, it is more of a bumpy texture.



Lastly, have to go on about Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm.



I didn't take a picture inside, because the pot has seen a lot of use and you don't need to see that lol. Horrors! But I must say how lovely it feels, there is a hint of peppermint that isn't over bearing and rose oils. The shade is a reddish pink that goes on quite sheer for just a tint of pink, it moisturizes and is glossy. Lips feel very kissy in it. (Is that a word? XD) Highly recommend it!
