Newly Polished

IsaDora Lip Desire is a sculpting lipstick and is also one of the news for this Collection. The formula is supposed to be creamy and soft, have great pigment, hydrating and a plumping effect. The unique tip is also supposed to make application easy peasy. I have them in 56 Rosewood and 68 Rum Raisin.

 

To go with their new lipsticks, IsaDora is also releasing a new series of matching lipliners called IsaDora Sculpting Lipliner. These babies are also volumizing. It has a twist up function so no sharpener needed! Because it is moisturizing you can wear the liner just on it's own!

 

The IsaDora Perfect Blush is a new launch and is supposed to give you a frosty matte look. The color is pigmented and stays on for long. I have it in 66 Bare Berry.

So, not a new release but still a nice addition to the Collection; IsaDora Brow Shaping Gel. I have it in 61 Light Brown.

 

OPI has teamed up with Kerry Washington to create this collection and the colors are inspired by the great fashion houses. It contains 15 (!!) gorgeous creme polishes and all of the colors are perfect for autumn and winter. Three of them are limited edition.

 

I will not go on ranting about the formulas for each color, because I will just be writing the same thing over and over. The formulas are... P-E-R-F-E-C-T. If you have watched my video for this years Soft Shades Collection, you know I had a bit of issues with the formula being a little bit on the runny side. You will not have that problem with this collection! All of the colors also have great coverage as well (and a lot of them are near one coaters). The only one that you miiight want to paint a third layer to is "Pale to the Chief".

 

Oh well, enough babbling! Ready for some swatches?

 

First up is "Shh... It's Top Secret!". A dark brown, nearly black shade. It reminds me a bit of "You don't know Jacques" but I haven't had time to do any dupe swatches yet so they might just be similar in my head. Although Jacques is supposed to be one of Kerry's favorite OPI colors, so maybe I'm not far from the truth?

 

"Squeaker of the House" is up next. This is a cool, brown shade and it kind of makes me think of the browns of the Nordic Collection but cooler.

 

 

"Never a Dulles Moment" is a warm, creamy yellow. I'm usually not a fan of wearing yellow on my nails for several day but there is something about this shade of yellow that really feels trendy and I do feel pretty wearing it!

 

 

"Pale to the Chief" is like I mentioned earlier the only shade that I had a tiny issue with the coverage. I have two coats on the picture but in some lights you might see a peek of my tips. This is also the only shade with a little bit of shimmer in it, but honestly it's more visible in the bottle than painted on the nail. I do feel like I've seen similar shades before like "Be there in a Prosecco" and "My vampire is Buff".

 

The darker coppar shade is called "Yank my Doodle". This is also one of my favorites! I think it's so flattering and I predict I will be wearing this a lot this coming fall.

 

The same for this shade... Perfection in a bottle! I would say that "OPI by Popular Vote" is a bit more raspberry than the above and a bit darker. Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! 

 

I kind of feel like this is a more grass-like color but this shade is called "Suzi - The First Lady of Nails". I want to start making some military nail art right away when I'm wearing this beauty.

 

Last of the limited editions shades is "Liv in he Gray". Would you look as this dark gray beauty? Doesn't get much better than this.

First up is "Stop I'm Blushing!". This is a light peachy pink color. It look more pink in the bottle and a bit more peachy when applied to the nail. You need three thin coats for full coverage. I think this is my favorite of the entire collection. It's really yummy!

"I Am What I Amethyst" is your perfect purple pastel. The closest I had to a dupe with this one was "You're Such A Budapest" but it isn't that close. Budapest is a lot darker. This is my second favorite and I felt like the formula was a bit better for this one and you can get a nice and even result in two coats.

"It's in the Cloud" is a off-white polish with beige undertones. The closest I had to a dupe for this one was "Be there in a Prosecco" and that really isn't close at all. I think that "My boyfriend scales walls" might be more alike "It's in the Cloud" but I can't find it where I store my polishes?! Lol, where has it gone? Three thin coats for full coverage.

Last but not least, "One Chic Chick" (I have spelled this name wrong like 100 times already... Lol). I usually don't wear yellow nail polish but this one feels so fresh! I have nothing close to a dupe for this one. Love, love, love!

And... I've tried something new for this collection. I've made a Youtube video... Where you can see my face! How crazy is this?! Lol. The video contains a review of each polish followed by live swatches. I also mention comparisons with other colors. I speak Swedish in the video but there are English subs that you can turn on so that all our readers can understand what I am saying. I hope you guys like it!
