Wet n Wild Wild Shine Nail Color - Burgundy Frost Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in artificial light

I'm really liking Wet N' Wild polishes. I picked up their black one and it's true. It is a solid one coater. Anyway, Burgundy frost is surprisingly brick red! However I'm not a huge fan of their bottle design which causes some serious application issues. The bottle holds 12.3ml of polish.

Colorbar Magic Mirror Kit - Swatch & Review

Firstly, please pardon me for uploading pics before I could clean up the messy powder from my fingers and cuticles. Hopefully you'll understand why I couldn't post pictures post cleaning up as you go through this review. First things first, do you get a mirror effect with this kit? Yes you do, but not the kind of mirror you're hoping which is super shiny, reflective and smooth. It's more like this.

China Glaze Nail Lacquer - Let's Groove Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in artificial light

This is hands down my favourite dark purple nail polish. I've read that this is a dupe for Purple Rain by Nars and Taboo by Chanel. Unfortunately I don't own either of those polishes, so I can't compare them. However, I own both Noble purple by Stay Quirky and Grape by Revlon and can say that they're quite similar. However none of the former have the depth nor that 'lit from within' quality of Let's groove. But if you like this shade and want a close dupe you can check them out.

Color Dose Nail Lacquer - Bridal Maroon Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in indirect sunlight

So this post is more of a mini review, as I'm fairly certain that this particular polish has been discontinued, but it's such a beautiful shade I thought I'd write up a post on it anyway. I'm looking for dupes, so if any of you can suggest any good one then pleeeeease do leave a comment!!

Inglot XL7 Nail Enamel - Swatch & Review

2 coats over black + top coat in artificial light

So this review is of one of the most beautiful polishes I own. Inglot's XL7 is magic in a bottle. I can't remember the last time I wore the same polish twice in a row, that's how much I love this polish. The bottle holds 15ml of polish.

Jaquline USA One Stroke Premium Nail Enamel - Heat Wave J16 Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in sunlight

This is my first nail polish from Jaquline USA. I was in NewU to buy some stuff and couldn't resist picking this shade. Based on the bottle and the small swatch the store clerk applied on my nail I thought it would be a good dupe for my favourite maroon - golden wine from Avon. Sadly that wasn't the case.

China Glaze Nail Lacquer - Fifth Avenue Swatch & Review

2 coats + top coat in artificial light

So this polish is a China Glaze oldie. Since there are no official retailers of China Glaze in India, it's hard to find polishes from their latest collections. But the upside is, you can get a lot of classic shades through Amazon which are no available in stores.

Stay Quirky Nail Polish Black Magic -1108 Talisman Swtach & Review

2 coats over black + top coat in artificial light

 
Oh my god! I am insanely in love with this polish. It's such a gorgeous shade which flashes all the colours of a peacock feather. This post also concludes my serious of reviews of Stay Quirky's black Magic range of polishes. I'm honestly torn between this one and 1112 Book of Shadows. Can't decide which I like more.

2 coats over black + top coat in sunlight

Anyway, I've also worn and tested the fifth shade I purchased from this range, so the next blog post should be up pretty soon.

Stay Quirky Nail Polish Black Magic -1112 Book of Shadows Swtach & Review

3 coats over black + top coat in artificial light

This is my third review of a polish from Stay Quirky's Black Magic Range.  I've reviewed 1109 Tantra here and 1111 Tarot here. You can also check my first impressions post about this range here.

Book of Shadows is probably the most shifty and multichrome of all the polishes I've reviewed so far in this range. I just cannot get enough of this gorgeous shade. My photos don't do justice, you have to see this in person to truly appreciate its beauty.

You can check out the shades I've bought here, for a general first impression of the overall collection and to see which shades I'll be reviewing next. I will mention again that these polishes are not holographic as described by the brand. Each bottle holds 6ml of product.

Kiko Glitter Metal Nail Lacquer - 05 Bright Cerulean Swatch & Review

2 coats over black + top coat in artificial light

Kiko's glitter metal 05 is a versatile & beautiful polish with blue/green micro glitter which will reflect a different shade depending on how you apply it. I've include swatches of the different ways in which I wore this polish, so I hope this would be helpful. I'm in love how this polish looks in indirect, indoor lighting, as can be seen in my picture above.

Kiko Holographic Nail Lacquer - 01 Silver Swatch & Review

3 coats + top coat in artificial light

This was one of my picks from Kiko's Holographic nail polish lines. I've already reviewed Starry Blue from the same line here. I was so happy with Starry Blue that I couldn't wait to try this one.

Stay Quirky Nail Polish - Black Raven Claw 45 Swatch & Review

3 coats + top coat in artificial light

So you see that a polish is named BLACK raven claw, the bottle in the picture shows it to be a BLACK polish, what colour do you think it's gonna be in person? Black? No!! It's gonna be purple 😒😑.

Kiko Holographic Nail Lacquer - 05 Starry Blue Swatch & Review

Stay Quirky's oddly named polish in the shade Maroon Plum is neither Maroon nor plum :D. The bottle holds 8ml of polish.

Essence The Gel Nail Polish - Space Queen Swatch & Review

Essence' Gel Finish - Space Queen is such a fun glitter polish. The bottle holds 8ml of polish. Please excuse the slightly dented polish on my index finger. I was too tired to redo the whole nail 😔.
