Adore: He's the Lucky One and To Have and to Hold


Hi everyone! Happy Sunday! I hope you all have a wonderful week.  Today I want to show you two polishes from a brand named Adore Nail Polish. I received this for consideration and they are part of Adore's Wedding Collection. Adore is vegan and therefore never tests on animals. I know that's quite important to many of you. Their polishes retail for just $8 and are really awesome quality.

First up I have He's the Lucky One and I have been rocking this on my toes for a few weeks now. This is a bright red/orange creme/jelly polish. It's not quite a jelly but is such a super high shine creme it certainly borders on a jelly. It's absolutely stunning and perfect for summer. I just love a good classic red. The orange twist it has makes it a little more wearable for my skin tone.

I only used two coats for the opacity shown. The nail line is very slightly visible but it's basically fully opaque and you'd be really picky to be bothered by that VNL. This went on so easily and I had no issues with streaking or balding. I am in love with the high shine finish on this one. A+ in my book.



  


Next up from Adore I have To Have and To Hold which is a standard white creme. The website describes it as a matte but I do not think it's a matte finish, it's more creme. There's no shimmer or sparkle but it doesn't dry matte it has a bit of shine to it.  This would make a nice white for a french manicure.

Below is just two coats and it is fully opaque. It went on as easily as a white could, as you know, the pigment in white can be tricky. Overall this is a solid white in my book. 




I am a fan of both of these. Love the red though. I think the price point on these vegan friendly polishes is quite fair at $8 and I see myself buying several in the future. 

Have you had any experience with Adore Nail Polish. I'd love to hear about your favorite colors from the brand. What do you think of these two?

Random Thoughts:
  • Just getting over a cold. Miserable!
  • It's insanely hot here, unbearable humidity. Hope it cools down soon. I hate winter and I don't want it back but this humidity has got to go. 
  • Sorry for the lack of posting, been busy at work. Loving my position and learning so much every day!

Precision: Scorpion King


California brand, Precision, is taking the US by storm. They're here to stay and pumping out some really fantastic polishes worth getting your hands on.  Precision was kind enough to send me some goodies to try out. Out of the polishes I have had a chance to try from Precision, this one, Scorpion King, is my favorite. 

Scorpion King is a really interesting sort of charcoal color with tons of purple and silver microshimmer throughout. I love this color, it's super interesting and unlike anything I have in my collection. (Alright, I have a lot of polish, so I have something  sort of like it, but this is different enough)  This was a great formula. I only used two coats to get full opacity and I had no issues whatsoever with application, smooth and perfect. 





I am really excited to see what else this company has to offer. Stay tuned for reviews of some more neutral shades I have tried from Precision. 



You can catch up with Precision Nail Lacquer on Facebook here.

I know I haven't been the best blogger and I thank you all for your patience. I don't blog for a living, I work a demanding full time job, which I LOVE! It's been busy lately and I just haven't had the time to sit down and blog, so I am sorry to leave you without content but I hope you understand. I will do my best to be more consistent. Sometimes I just need a moment away from writing! I know you'll all understand. Thanks for all of the support. This blog would be nothing without you, constant reader. I love you all!

Ruby Wing: Electric Firefly


Hello everyone! I hope you're all doing well. Today I want to show you a polish I received from Ruby Wing for consideration. This is Electric Firefly and it's a really fun color changing polish. It's not like the gradient color change polishes that work off of your body temperature (which I LOVE, like an instant French mani) but rather, it works off of the sun. Yup, this is a solar activated color changing polish. 

Electric Firefly starts out highlighter yellow, indoors, and turns a warm orange in the sunlight. I took a series of photos to show you the transition:


Cool right? 

Now, this color is not my usual cup of tea but it was fun to watch it change. I think kids would love this concept. 

I used two coats for the opacity show and may have been better off with three, but two is pretty much fully opaque.  I didn't have any issues with application.

Overall, this is a fun concept. I think I like the ones that change off of your temperature better, those are so cool, but this is still fun to play with. Like I mentioned above, I think kids would love this concept.

Have tried any Ruby Wing color changing polishes? What did you think of them? Will you seek these out?
