Cult Nails Wanna Be

Do you ever buy a nail polish because the color reminds you of a good memory? That's exactly why I needed this Cult Nails polish.

My mom has never even worn the smallest amount of makeup since I've been alive. She never owned makeup. She's not a makeup person in the least bit. However, I remember when I was younger she had this one Revlon nail polish in the bathroom closet. Whenever we'd go out to nice dinners or something like that my mom would paint her nails and mine this Revlon color.

I cannot tell you for the life of me what the color was called. This was the early 90's and I would of recognized it if it were still around. My mom definitely no longer has it either. The first time I saw Cult Nails Wanna Be, my first that was "That's the color!". I had to have it.

Wanna Be

Wanna Be is a medium coppery pink base with intense copper and gold shimmer.

Color: This color is really hard to describe. The base is a kind of a mix of a red, copper, and pink. The color is very richly pigmented and it's infused with this amazing shimmer. I love this color. It's so unusual in comparison to other polishes out there now. This is a great color for fall, and I'd consider it a neutral. This color would go with plenty of colors you'd wear.

Formula: Excellent 2 coat formula.

Price: I do believe this will be available individually for purchase at some point? Currently it's available for $24 in the collection set with 2 other polishes.

Overall: This is a winner polish to me. This is exactly like the color my mom had back in the early 90's. It brings back a lot of memories for me, but it's also really a great color now. It's unique, it works for the season, and it can work with anything.

OPI To Be Or Not To Beagle

I was really excited when I heard OPI was going to have a Peanuts collection. I love Snoopy. My room as a child was floor to ceiling Snoopy. I had Snoopy wallpaper, curtains, and the whole shebang.

I must say the polishes OPI put out were not really my thing, but the displays! How can I get one of the displays? Does anyone know? I did pick up the most Snoopy-themed polish of the bunch though which I have for you today.

To Be Or Not To Beagle over Cult Nails Wack Slacks

 To Be Or Not To Beagle is a mix of multicolored matte hex glitters, black mini bar, and black hex glitters in a clear base.

Color: This is a fun glitter mix. I love the brightly colored matte glitters paired with the black. I will say at first I didn't get how this was any way Snoopy related, but by the looks of it these look like all the colors used in Peanuts comic strips.

Formula: This was an easy to use and apply formula. I didn't have any trouble applying the glitters. I used 2 coats over a base.

Price: I bought this on Amazon for around $7. I don't know where you can buy these in stores, but there are tons of listings on Amazon, eBay, and other etailers.

Overall: This is a fun glitter. I of course, love the theme. The colors in this are great and the formula is good.

Zoya Yuna

The more I swatch the fall 2014 polishes out this year, the more pleased I am with what was offered. I've haven't been so excited by fall polishes in a very long time! That being said, I have another beautiful polish from Zoya's Ignite line to share with you today.

Yuna

 Yuna is medium blue-toned gray witha  rich golden shimmer.

Color: This is 100% unique. This is unlike any other polish out there now, or any other that I've owned previously. The base color is rich and perfect for fall, but that golden shimmer makes this a massive home run. This is gorgeous.

Formula: Great and easy to use 2 coat formula.

Price: This is $9 on the Zoya website, but can be found at Ulta too.

Overall: Absolutely beautiful polish. This is a definite must have and contender for my Top 25 of 2014. You need Yuna in your lives!

Sephora X Celestial

I have a gorgeous textured glitter to share with you today. This is one the Sephora X brand sold at Sephora. This Sephora X brand kills me. I swear they have some of the most beautiful polishes, but at price I can't afford to purchase frequently. That being said, I think this one is worth the splurge!

Celestial 

Celestial is a aquamarine textured glitter.

Color: This color is drop dead gorgeous. This is a bright aquamarine that shines and sparkles so brightly. I think this color would be flattering and most and easy to wear any time of year. This is shimmery for the holidays and bright and bold for spring and summer.

Formula: Excellent formula. I used 2 coats above. This applies so easily and smoothly.

Price: This is $12.50 at Sephora. A bit steep, but worth it.

Overall: Celestial is a really winner. The color is great. The formula is excellent. I absolutely love this polish!

Throwback Thursday: Wet n' Wild Blue Moon

Ever since I organized my nail polish stash last month, I've been redisocvering some beautiful older nail polishes. I completely forgot about this next Wet n' Wild one, but it's gorgeous. Best part? This polish is only $1!

Blue Moon

Blue Moon is a deep navy blue shimmer.

Collection: Wet n' Wild Wild Shine Core

Color: I love this richly pigmented navy blue shimmer. This is dark, but it still reads as navy on the nail. The color really chic and when light touches it, it glows!

Formula: Easy to use and shiny 2 coat formula.

Price: I purchased this for $1 years ago. This is part of the core line based on the WnW website, and should be available for purchase at drugstores and big box stores.

Overall: Gorgeous $1 polish. You really can't go wrong with Blue Moon!
