Pumpkin Orange Glitter

Hello lovelies!

Tomorrow is Halloween and it sucks that I haven't had any Halloween themed mani or any nail art so I decided to make swatches since I have quite a few polishes that are spooky appropriate. Episode 1 is for Blue Cross' Black Light Pumpkin Orange Glitter. I want to apologize for the poor picture quality this polish is so hard to photograph.

• Color Description: A neon orange jelly base with iridescent glitters
• Formula: This is fairly a quick drying glitter polish but I'm not quite a big fan of the formula, good thing it's not so thick it makes the application quite easy but tricky. It looks matte when dry.
• Finish: Jelly/Glitter
• Coat(s): 2 coats with top coat
• Drying Time: Fast

My iPhone almost want to give up lol, this polish is so hard to photograph which are so common to neons. I really need a good camera, I want to produce good quality photos for my blog. Anyway, this polish is ok for me I like the color but I don't like the texture it's a little bumpy but thanks to seche vite top coat always does the job. Actually the color looks way brighter and striking in person and I really love the bottle it looks so cute. Overall I like this polish perfect for the Halloween.

Irresistible Charm by Nanacoco

Hello lovelies!

Today I'm doing the last swatch for Nanacoco and this is just so gorgeous it's called "Irresistible Charm". This polish doesn't even need an introduction. The photos says it all.

• Color Description: A red maroon with a very fine foil metallic base which is more on the red side
• Formula: Excellent smooth formula and very pigmented that applies evenly and perfectly on the nails without streaking, like most metallic polishes do.
• Finish: Foil
• Coat(s): 1 coat is opaque enough but I applied 2 coats, I like more depth on the color.
• Drying Time: Quite in a slow side

I am truly in love with this color, my husband loved it he said "it's sexy" and that I couldn't disagree. I love foil finished polishes because they're mostly 1 coater and this one is definitely opaque enough for 1 coat but I always apply 2 coats for more intensity.

By the way I wanted to say I apologize for my color description sometimes I just think that I really suck when it comes to describing colors and I definitely need to improve in this category because I want to write good and accurate reviews. 

Girls what do you think? Do you own any from this brand? If not I would recommend that you try Nanacoco.

Chocolate Factory by Nanacoco

I have another local beauty store brand for you today, it's called Nanacoco I don't know if any of you have already heard of this brand this is actually my first time. I only picked two colors and today I'm swatching Chocolate Factory.

• Color Description: A rich dark chocolate brown creme
• Formula: Excellent smooth formula, very easy on the application and pigmented.
• Finish: Creme
• Coat(s): 2 coats for full opacity with top coat
• Drying Time: A bit in a slow side

I love browns and this one is gorgeous reminds me a bitter sweet dark chocolate. Brands like this always surprises me because you always get to hear about the mainstream ones and there's actually a lot of brands that are not recognized but are very good and cheap. I think I'm going to get more colors from Nanacoco especially their HD colors they are stunning.

Girls what do you think? Do you own any from this brand? If not I would recommend that you try Nanacoco.

Blue Satin by Kleancolor

This is going to be the last of the Kleancolor that I'll be swatching and then I'll move on to Nanacoco. What I have for you today is Blue Satin by Kleancolor.

• Color Description: I would describe it as a dull navy blue jelly base with purple undertone packed with subtle glass flecks, few holo bars and holo glitters.
• Formula: I really like the formula not thick or runny just in the right consistency which makes the application so easy.
• Finish: Jelly Glitter
• Coat(s): 2 coats for full opacity with top coat
• Drying Time: Fast

I think this polish is unique on its own, I like that the holo bars and glitters are not densely packed. The glitters and glass flecks looked subtle on your nails which makes it unique and I think this is one of my favorites from this brand.
