Deborah Lippmann Swagga Like Us

This is my first Deborah Lippmann nail polish! I was so excited. Here are some swatches.

See the green around the golden color? There's a duochrome effect! Really cool.

As you can see, it's a very bright. Excuse my nails, this is after many days of wear and tear. This is with flash.

This is without flash, it definitely shows the green with the angle. It's not actually green but it shifts into a green duochrome at certain angles. 

Essie Manicure

I only own 2 Essie nail polishes so here they are.

 This is Coat Azure by itself. It's an opaque powder blue with shimmer. It's a 1-2 coater.

I decided to layer "As Gold as it Gets" over Coat Azure. I used 2 coats, it's really pretty. It's really sparkly and I like it both ways. 

The two bottles. I used the Beauty Secrets Base Coats and Seche Vite top coat to give my manicure that glossy finish.

Random Swatch Load

I haven't updated anything in such a long time. Man, school took such a huge toll on me. Anyway, here are the random pictures I took throughout the year and never got a chance to publish.

Color Club--

This is called Wild at Heart, it's a gorgeous purple linear holo. Just simply breathtaking.

Revvvolution; like Wild at Heart, it is a holo but it's a dark gray holo. Believe me, it looks better in person. My crappy android camera can't capture the glorious holo effect but believe me, it's there.

Nails, Inc.--

I hate magnetic nail polishes... I suck! haha. It's called House of Parliament. I love the color in all honesty.

ORLY--

This is ORLY Royal Navy. It's a beautiful jelly-like navy with light blue sparkles. It's soooo pretty. I love it a lot actually.

 Both of these are Halley's Comet, it was a really popular color but it's somewhat forgotten now. It is a blue-green; jam-packed with awesomeness. It has flecks that create the shine from my flash. Reminds me of a mermaid but darker.

 Luxe; exactly what its name implies. It is a metallic / foil-type gold that looks luxurious and expensive. It's not pure gold; it's actually not that warm. Very nice.

This is Rock Your World, it's a beautiful purple-y red (like a bruise, but prettier) with gold shimmer. It has INTENSE shimmer that stands out and it really does rock my world!

Zoya--

This is Zoya Reece. It's an amazing pink that's more on the purple-y side with golden shimmer. It's like hot pink but cool toned as opposed to the warm which contrasts beautifully with the warm gold. I've been eyeing this for a while actually.

Nubar--

 This is Nubar 2010, it's the standard flakies like Shine of Times or Hidden Treasure, pretty common but still lovely.

Purple Rain-- it's a really pretty deep royal purple with lots of holo glitter, it's not linear holo, it's holo glitter. Amazing, really.

Sally Hansen--

 Pacific Blue is nice creme blue. It's not as purple as the picture, it's actually blue; like a cornflower blue.

Time to Shine, it really is shiny but that's only due to flash picking up all the shimmer. If you just look at it, it's not actually that shiny but there is lots of shimmer in the mist of a nice metallic brown. I wouldn't say it's copper or anything of that sort. It's just lovely.

Revlon--

Facets of Fuchsia, apparently it's a dupe for the Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance. I've seen pictures, they're pretty close if not exact dupes. It's a dark black jelly with violet / purple glitter pieces. Some of them are small flecks, others are actually hexagonal.

Sinful Colors--

 Aquamarine, the name suits it. It's a blue creme that looks like a hue from a mermaid's tail.

Daddy's Girl, it's an extremely gorgeous nail polish with like 6 coats. Seriously, look at the thickness of that polish. Honestly it's a huge hassle but I LOVE THIS COLOR SO MUCH. I don't know why. It's gorgeous once it's been applied a billion times and with a good shiny top coat like Seche Vite.

Phew. Finally done. I probably have more pictures somewhere else but for the moment, that's all I could dig up. I hope you enjoyed this. :)
