LEX Love Me More - Swatches and Review

Happy Sunday everyone! Well, Happy What's Left of Sunday. I slept most of the day away. I've decided that driving all night to get home is for the young and from now on, I'll leave it to them. But I went gambling and WON! When I go, the purpose is to take THEIR money home with me so no way was I about to hang around and let them get it back.

Here's one of the jackpots I won. I took it while I was waiting for them to pay me off. (Since I wasn't in Vegas, I felt pretty safe snapping the pic, but just be sure and do NOT do it if you're in Vegas. Or at least don't let them catch you.)

Love it when the machine lights up
and starts clanking!

Okay on to the GOOD STUFF!  Today I'm showing you LEX Nail Lacquer in Love Me More. It's a great hot pink with lots of lovely pink shimmer that translates perfectly on the nail. I used two coats and had no issues with formula or application. Shown here with no top coat. Very pretty girly color with enough shimmer to give it an edge.

What do you think? Pinks have never been my favorite color mainly since I'm so pale, but this one is "hot" pink enough to look great on any skin tone.

SueSa S15 / Mei's Signatures - Swatches and Review

Today I have a great new polish to show you! It's so sparkly!

SueSa S15 is a MeiMei's Signatures house brand and is labeled Mei's Signatures #15. And it's 3-Free! In most lighting it reads as a gorgeous silvery taupe color but other lighting, especially natural indirect sunlight, you can see that it has a plum/pinkish look to it. It really is stunning in person but the camera (at least with ME behind the lens) couldn't capture the sparkle-factor. And I really just can't figure out the apparent color-shifts because it's definitely not a duochrome. The finish is almost like a foil, but it appears to be full of microgiltter and doesn't remove like a foil finish would. This one is a real puzzler AND a real stunner. It has a normal nail polish smell and not the strong smell I expected so I was pleasantly surprised by that, too.

I guess to sum it up, I have no idea what color it is or what finish it is, but it surely is pretty!

Some photos are with top coat and some are without. The top coat really brings out the sparkle as it dries to a satin finish. It does have a very VERY slight glitter feel that is completely smooth with one coat of Poshe. (Please excuse the red streaks on my ring and pinky finger - from the topcoat I used too soon after the last red polish I applied. Oy.) The last photos show the difference in the color from artificial lighting (not flash) to natural indirect lighting. SEE what I mean? And the photos actually ARE color-accurate.

Megan Miller Lemon Ice - Swatches and Review

Photo from The Winthrop Chronicles
Great summer recipe!

Today I have another Megan Miller polish to show you...Lemon Ice!  The bottle design is unique and pretty darned cute. But it's more than that. It holds a full .5 ounces of polish, has a great cork cap, which naturally provides a non-slip grip and has a little hand-tied raffia bow. The brush is round and cut well and the stem is short enough that it doesn't collect too much polish. It holds the perfect amount of polish for each nail.

Megan Miller's logo is a peacock feather, as shown on the bottle and the top of the cap. Here's their story behind their logo:

Inspired by the display the peacock portrays when its feathers are in full bloom, the Megan Miller collection aims to inspire you to show your grandest side with confidence and ease. Like the peacock, we look to blend a natural elegance in order to make you look good, feel complete and ‘Be Colorful’. 

Yes, that's Megan Miller Roja you see here!

Lemon Ice is a sheer, jelly-like, pale lemon yellow. Formula was typical of a sheer jelly but went on easily with no issues. I am a fan of 100% opacity, which you will not get with Lemon Ice on its own, so I'm showing you how the color builds on its own, using 3 coats here AND on one nail I've applied two coats over one coat of an opaque white creme.
