What's With the Cattitude? Swatch (Post 19)

Hey- sorry again for the lack of consistent posting! I'm posting two today me thinks.... oh well. This is another color from the Shrek collection, however it is a recent purchase. This is the sky blue creme and let me just say- this is perfect- it's such a standard color yet so rarely produced and it was just a success all around- <3. My bottle pic is not great but the swatches are pretty good. This was opaque in two or three coats- standard for a pastel/pale color. It looks good, wears well and has such a cute name!

Love, love, love! The swatch is pretty good- although not my best! I love this so much but I've pretty much said all I have to say about it- love!!! As always, feel free to email me at sierraheartspolish@gmail.com !

In My Back Pocket and Zom-body to Love

Hey guys, sorry I haven't posted in awhile. To make up for it, I'm giving you two, In My Back Pocket and Zom-Body to love. These two have nothing in common but to me, they are both Halloween colors so I just thought- go for it.

In My Back Pocket is such a pretty color. It's hard to find a good orange and at least to me, this is a great one. It's super opaque and drys nicely. It's consticency is pretty nice as is wear time. This color in a nutshell is basically what kraft mac and cheese (ew gross comparison) looks like when its saturated.

Sorry it's not the best picture- my original copy got deleted of my computer so I had to quickly take another like 5 seconds ago. I don't know how the following swatch is but I think it's one of the ehh ones.

Yay! It's pretty good! But the picture itself isn't :( Oh well! This reallly portrays the color well and it's a perfect Halloween Orange.

Okay Zom-Body to Love. This is OPI's glow in the dark polish. It takes four or five coats because it's sheer and the first one is barely anything. It's a slowish drier but other than that- AMAZING! The color is sosososo pretty it's this amazing saturated green with hints and undertones of blue and man, this thing glows like crazy!!!!

The swatch is a little ehh and the color is showing up really like a dupe for Mermaid's Tears. Which it's not. So fun Halloween colors right? Anways, feel free to email me at sierraheartspolish@gmail.com

Rest Of Pirates (Post 15)

Hey guys sorry it's been a while, tennis and school are back in session! To make up for that I'm posting the remaining swatches of the Pirates of the Caribbean collection (I don't have the shatter because I haven't decided if I'm a shatter girl or not yet) The formula was great on all of these, although Steady as She Rose was streaky on the first coat. So here we go!



So I' going to start with Mermaids Tears because I'm going from worst swatch to best and this is the worst of the group. It is so much brighter in person and depending on the lighting, pulls green or blue. This was amazing in opacity and I believe the following picture is a 2 coater.

\

So the next color is Skulls and Glossbones which is a muted grey. This is one of the strangest colors because more than a few times, I have looked at it and thought- did I put Stranger Tides on? It looks soooo greeen! But everytime it's still this grey so be warned- it pulls a very strange green in some lights. It's pretty but on my pink-pink skin, it is quite unflattering.

This picture shows the strange green in pulls. Probably my least favorite in the collection because it's not a true steel grey.

Next up is Steady As She Rose, my favorite! It's a beautiful muted lilac and is soooo flattering on me! It's kinda streaky on the first coat but you could get by with two if you had to, I however, recommend three.

\

In real life, this is only slightly more purple.

Sorry for the messyish swatch- this isn't a second day nail....

Stranger Tides is such a pretty green- yet so ugly. I can't even begin to describe it. It's not olive, it's not seafoam, it's not mint, it's not a grey green. So yeah. It's kind of just a color of it's own. I'll let the swatches do the talking because they're actually quite good. At least for me :)

Lastly we have Planks a Lot, my all time favorite purple. Ever. And yet it's not my favorite from the collection and the one that is is also a purple. Making sense to anyone? Not to me. Sigh oh well. Let's not even try to understand my brain. This is a beautiful true purple that is amazingly opaque. <33333

Beautiful swatch right? For the record this is what my nails look like when I leave the house. As always feel free to comment or email me at sierraheartspolish@gmail.com Because of the super long post I don't think I'll be posting again until Wednesday but who knows maybe I'll do a blabby all mouth no pictures post tomorrow. After that I think the post's will be pretty consistent with everyother or every third although who really knows. I just ordered 4 sorbets from the Texas collection and another Shrek polish so I'll have those up ASAP which including shipping and swatching, might not be until the end of the month. I love you guys and am sorry my commenting isn't working very well. I should be on twitter by 2012 (I know, a ways away) and will keep the polish love coming!

Into to Pirates and Sparrow Me the Drama Swatch (Post 14)

Yay! Pirates time! Now I know this is an older collection, which I apologize for, but I think these are such pretty colors that I just have to show them! Most of these were not done in bulk swatching and are much better quality. I'm starting with the worst swatch (Sparrow Me the Drama) and working my way up to stuff I am proud of! So here goes....

This is showing up super dusky and purple and grey. It is definitely a muted pink but honestly, as far as true to color goes, this is the worst post. You'll see why in a minute.

This is coming up so nude! And so matte! Grrr. My camera usually doesn't have too many issues but clearly, it doesn't like Sparrow Me the Drama, a pink from the Pirates collection that at many retailers, is still avaliable. It's glossy and pink and just beautiful! Not this awkward Snooki Bronzed Nude that is showing up here with matte matte matteness! It lasts quite well and I think is very well formulated though a tad on the runny side which of course, only I would notice. This is one of my favorite colors in the world and my number one go to pink (other than love is a racket) I know this was relatively brief for me bbut now that schools back in session,  I have piles and piles of homework. I am babysitting again soon which means more money for polish and being with my favorite little kids in the world! (Most of my money comes from babysitting although I do have a small allowance which is great and helps) I will be ordering five new polishes sometimes next week although I haven't decided the exact one's, I'm kinda torn between two. So as always, leave me a comment and I'll try my best to respond or email me at sierraheartspolish@gmail.com

Baguette Me Not Swatch- Post 11

Okeydokey,  here's Baguette Me Not, the other polish I got from a friend in exchange for some too small tank tops and such. Baguette Me Not is from the French collection that came out a while back by OPI. It is currently unavaliable at Ulta but I'm sure many across the country still have it in stock. Using google shopping, it's also really easy to find it online. Baguette Me Not is definitely the wierdest and "ugliest" color in my collection. Having said that, I actually think it's really pretty. It is a reddish, coral neutral brown. Yeah it doesn't make that much sense to me either. But it's almost pink but is still definitely a shade of brown. Like most of my polishes, it's a creme. (Sooooo sorry if you're into shimmerry colors!, they're on their way though, don't worry!)



This picture definitely shows the browner side of Baguette Me Not. But I swear, in some lights in looks super pink, and others coral! This is a super opaque nail polish and I could easily get away with just one coat, I do however prefer two. It lasts an average amount of time on the nails. It's a really strange color and I have had a few people comment on how unattractive it is. I prefer wearing it on my toes but it has it's place in my collection. It's definitely not for everyone because it's such a strange color.

Note- it looks like I have a glob of this color on my middle finger- if you look closely it's in a lot of swatches because it's actually a cut. Yay for another imperfect swatch. This one isnt terrible on my actual fingers but is blurrier than most. Sorry- you'll just have to deal :(. This picture definitely shows of the coral undertones of the nail polish. I have one more random polish and then a review of the Pirates of the Caribbean polishs- some of those are good swatches because they weren't done in bulk!  If you have any questions about this nail polish or about nails in general comment or feel free to email me at sierraheartspolish@gmail.com



Fiercely Fiona Swatch (Post 10)

Okay so here's another and the last (for now) Shrek collection swatch. The story behind this polish is kind of interesting. My friends are really into some of my tank tops and stuff so when i out grow them I gave them to one of my friends and we had a sleepover that night. While I was at her house I was looking through her nail polish (of course) and found two I had to have because they were such unique colors, Fiercly Fiona and Baguette Me Not (the next swatch post). Because I had given her the items earlier she gave me Baguette Me Not, free of charge. However Fiercly Fiona was her sisters. Luckily for me, her sister said yeah you can have it for 5 bucks. So I scored two rare colors for 5 dollars! Steal! Anyways, Fiercly Fiona's from the Shrek collection, of which I already have three of, which was a super sweet gift from my mom and the start of an obsession. It like all the other colors in the collection (and mine!) is a creme.

Fiercly Fiona is one of the strangest, most unique colors I have ever seen! It is a yellowed green. The above picture is acurrate to what it actually looks like in the bottle while on the nails it is much more yellow. It's the kind of color that looks yellow next to yellow and green next to green in one light and yellow next to green and green next to yellow in another.

I think this is one of the top three worst swatches so please please please bear with me! As you can see, it looks much yellower than in the bottle. This is probably the worst formulated out of the four Shrek polishes I have. It is streaky at first but by the third coat you are fine, takes forever to dry and is kind of runny. But despite all that I still really love this color.

What's With All The Cremes?

Yay for the first blog post! I seem to be on track for a post everyday but who knows how long that will last (I will definitely try and keep it up) So in a ton of my disgusting swatches and in my reviews I mention having 90% cremes. I'm sure if I set up a mathematical proportion (nerd alert LOL) I'm sure the percentage would actually be much higher. Hold on let me actually go and do that *Five Minutes Later* Apparantly I own only 77% cremes. Hmmm. I'm going to stick with 90 for a more dramatic effect. Anyways, obviously people are going to think I gravitate towards cremes. Maybe I do, but that's not the reason I own so many. It's simply because of the colors. If I like a color, I'm going to buy it whether it's a matte, suede shimmer, glitter, duochrome etc. It's a nail polish obsession.... I think as a consumer, that's what pulls me in, the color. I definitely like holografic gilttery polish too, if its two colors in one you can't go wrong! So along with waiting like, two months for decent swatches, you'll also have to just stick around and trust I own polishes other than cremes! Bear with me-Sierra

Got the Blues for Red Swatch

Yayyy! We finally reached a polish that wasn't given to me by my mom! The story behind this polish is pretty simple. In the bathroom I share with my sister, there's a closet. In the closet was a beauty bag filled with nail polish. Once I was on an OPI kick I went into the back to go take some for my personal stash. Much to my dismay it was mostly Essie, and we all know how I dislike Essie. But there were two OPI's, Got the Blues For Red and Russian to a Party. So here we go...

Got the Blues for Red is a creme, what else? However it is an older edition of the polish before OPI brought out the huge brushes. I do prefer the huge brushes but my terrible snobbiness (I hate it, don't think for a minute I don't) doesn't care because it's still OPI. It seems more watery than the other cremes I own but that could just be an illusion as the brush is much, much thinner. In all of the "swatches" OPI provides you for this color, whether it be on their app or website, it shows the color as a blackened, super deep red when in fact, it is one of the brightest, most true reds I have come across.

Now the above photo is definitely NOT helping me prove to you that this a bright cherry red. Sigh. Oh well. As the name suggests, it has blue undertones. This is one of the best polishes for longevity on the nails although the formula could be different now.

Ahhh. Finally. Now you see what I mean? Pretty, bright and red. (yes I know the swatch isn't amazing but there are much worse coming in the next few weeks from my bulk swatching) The first coat is kind of sheer, but it actually looks stunning that way as a slightly transparant red. But the above photo is with two coats which leaves it quite opaque but I do think it's full opacity is somewhere closer to three coats.

Who the Shrek Are You? Swatch

Hey guys, here's my second swatch post, also done in a bulk swatch! As you know from the Ogre the Top Blue post, this was given to me by my mom last summer along with Ogre the Top Blue and Funkey Dunkey. Expect a crap quality swatch!

This is pretty much spot on in the photography department- a touch yellower and a touch lighter in real life but that's about it. This is from the Shrek collection which came out last summer of 2010. It, like all polishes in the Shrek collection is a creme finish which means it has no shimmer or duochrome but still has a glossy, reflective finish, unlike a suede or a matte. It is a bright green- one of the brightest I've seen, without being dayglo and having that in your face vibe about it. This is not super streaky but needs two to three coats for full opacity. It lasts for a long time in the nail polish world and is a fantastic summer color.

This swatch isn't too terrible and in my opinion, shows the color perfectly. If you have any questions about this polish or anything else nail related, leave me a comment below or email me at sierraheartspolishes@gmail.com
