Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and Blue Mosaic Swatches and Review

Hello all! I realize that these new Revlon polishes are getting quite a bit of hype. I decided that it was time to throw my hat in the ring and share my thoughts and swatches of these two beauties!

Essie Cocktail Bling Collection Swatches

Although this collection is entirely 'jewel' themed none of the colors have shimmer or glitter. Instead they are reserved creme colors which are both fun and professional; demure and sassy.

Essie's Winter Collection 2011--Cocktail Bling

Incoco Nail Polish Applique

In the last Birchbox that I received, I finally got the opportunity to try something that I was just too cheap to buy...

Incoco Nail Appliques!

The color I received was Stardust (glitter finish).

I decided to make this into a video demonstration of my experience rather than just a wham, bam, thank you maam set of pictures. Let me say that these were ridiculously easy to apply; more simple than I would have ever imagined. They also look amazing and the pattern is subtle but still gives that WOW! effect.

Here are some pictures to show the results:

I did add a top coat just to seal in the edges/tips

Color Club 'Covered in Diamonds'

I'd like to introduce you to a new love of mine:

Color Club 'Covered in Diamonds' is a beautiful 'flakie' style polish that reflects iridescent blue, green, amber, and purple. The reflect almost looks like mica. I purchased my bottle from Head2ToeBeauty.com for $3! What a steal (It was originally released with the Untamed Luxury collection)!

Here is a close-up of the bottle:

 And here is what it looks like over China Glaze 'Near Dark':

I love the shine and character this can give to any polish although there are a few difficulties in application:

1. Similarly to hex glitter, this can have some placement issues causing parts of the nail to look sparse and parts to look clumpy. QUICK FIX: Apply in thin layers being sure to allow drying time between application.
2. Little corners of the flakes can stick straight up which makes applying a topcoat difficult. QUICK FIX: same as 1 except check as you apply the thin layers to be sure your not building on  a stray piece.
