Essie Navigate Her Spring Collection: Review, Photos & Swatches

Essie is back with a new and fun Spring Collection called Navigate Her. This collection consists of six nail polishes, three are pastels and the other three are more on the bright side. I hope you enjoy the swatches of all the colors, this is such a beautiful collection. Let me know what you think about the different colors in the comments below :)


♥ Navigate Her, A Crewed Interest & To Buy, Or Not To Buy?


♥ Tour De Finance, Olé Caliente & Orange, It's Obvious!


♥ Essie Navigate Her.

Navigate Her is a beautiful pistachio green cream color. I really like this color a lot, its soft but very fresh and pretty at the same time. Navigate Her was perfect in only two coats and it has a beautiful shine to it. Pastel pistachio by NYX is a very close dupe for this color. I might do a comparison between both colors to see how similar they actually are. They look like a perfect match in the bottle :)


♥ A Crewed Interest.

A Crewed Interest is a medium peach cream color. This color is a little streaky on the first coat but after the second coat, it did look more even. I used three coats to make it opaque. I like this color a lot, it reminds me off a lighter and more wearable version of Peachykeen from China Glaze :)


♥ To Buy, Or Not To Buy?

To Buy, Or Not To Buy? is a beautiful pastel lilac cream color with purple/blue shimmers. The shimmer don't show up on the nails until the light hits it just right. It's definitely a very gorgeous color but I wish the shimmers would show up more because it looks stunning in the bottle and I want my nails to look just like how it looks in the bottle. I used three coats :)


♥ Tour De Finance.

Tour De Finance is a medium fuchsia color with pink and blue particle shimmers. This was definitely the easiest color in the collection to apply. It went on so smoothly and it was opaque after just two coats. I love this color, its the perfect summer color :)


♥ Olé Caliente.

Olé Caliente is a bright red-orange color with pink undertones. I love this color, it makes me crave watermelon, haha. I only needed two coats to make it opaque. Just remember to apply a top coat before you use Olé Caliente, because it can stain your nails. 


♥ Orange, It's Obvious!

Orange, It's Obvious is an orange cream color. How cute is the name of this color? Haha, I love it! I actually don't have many orange colors in my nail polish collection so I'm very excited to wear this when Spring and Summer arrives here in Norway. Orange, It's Obvious was opaque after just two coats :)

My favorite colors from this collection has to be Caliente, Tour De Finance and A Crewed Interest. If you are thinking about picking up some colors from this collection, definnitely give them a try because I think you are going to love them. I can't wait for Spring and Summer to come so I can wear these lovely shades :)

MAC Nymphette, BlushBaby & Hush: Photos & Swatches

A few weeks ago, I ordered some MAC products from CheapSmells which is one of my favorite websites. They were having a sale on all their MAC products + they were offering 20% extra off their sale price.

Of course I had to pick up the two products that was on my wish list and I also managed to find another product that grabbed my attention :)

Metallic 4 Life: Review, Photos & Swatches

Metallic 4 Life is from the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection and its a pretty black based color with small, medium and large silver glitters within it.

Metallic 4 Life is a little sheer so you definitely need a few extra coats to make it opaque. I used three coats and I think it looks very pretty. I'm wondering how this would look paired with another dark nail polish? Have you guys tried it out? I'm afraid that it might ruin the base color since Metallic 4 Life is black based. I prefer the clear based glitter nail polishes because you can pair those with any nail polish and it will look cute :)

Fly: Review, Photos & Swatches

Fly is from the OPI Nicki Minaj Collection and its a gorgeous vibrant neon, turquoise color with a glossy finish. Fly is my favorite color from this collection along with Pink Friday. I have a thing for teal and pink nail polishes, I just love them so much :)

Fly is the only color from this collection that isn't sheer or streaky on my nails after it's applied. The formula of this nail polish is really good and it was opaque after just two coats.
