NOTD: 10 Professional Nail Lacquer in "And the Winner Is..." 427

9:34 AM


Today's NOTD: 10 Professional Nail Lacquer in "And the Winner Is..." (#427).  This is a bright tomato red.  This one truly looks like the light switch has been "turned on" for it - the color is quite difficult to capture on film, but I think the last one is about as true to form as I can get.  It's a great way to brighten up any look.  I know, reds are a dime a dozen, but I really like this one!


The consistency on this one was a little thin and runny, but that didn't cause any problems in the final product.  Below is 2 coats with 1 coat of top coat.  The only issue I had with the consistency was this - because of how long the brush is, droplets would run down quicker than a normal polish and I ultimately ended up getting a bit droplet on my nail and into my cuticles.  This required more cleanup than I'm normally used to.  Lasting power is quite good as well - I have been wearing this color for 5 days now and am just starting to experience some tip wear.  Nothing dramatic, just enough that I'm noticing it now.

Swatches below.  Unfortunately these are indoor because it has been cloudy and rainy here the past couple of days.

A quick NOTD: 10 Professional Nail Lacquer in Moonlight

10:17 AM


As you can see by the sticker on the lid, I got this little gem 75% off at the CVS sale last month.  This is 10 Professional Nail Lacquer in Moonlight.  With the flash, it looks like a muddy, almost gray taupe, but in natural light (below) it has a more yellow undertones, and doesn't enhance the redness of my skin.  Obviously, these pale gray/taupes are on trend right now, but finding one that compliments your skin tone is the challenge. 


This 10 Professional line definitely has a broad spectrum of colors, mostly work safe and basic, but even this little guy allows you to wear a more trendy shade but still be neutral enough for every day.  Have you tried any of these yet?

New nailpolishes at CVS: Confetti and 10 Professional Nail Lacquer

8:00 AM

I am sure some of you have already seen these (Recessionista posted pics of her purchases yesterday), but for those of us in the Midwest that seem to have a delay in new products, I finally came across the new nail polish lines at CVS: Confetti and 10 Professional Nail Lacquer.  The displays are below, which I believe are going to their everyday displays.



Confetti is quite a versitile collection - colors range from pales and sheers to bold blues, purples and glitters.  I even saw some really nice vampy reds and browns, which I am eyeing for the fall.  I bought a bottle of pale lavender, which I will swatch and post.  The bottles are really cute, and the names are as well.  The price, at $1.99, is also very appealing, so we'll see how the product wears and give a true assessment shortly.

10 Professional Nail Lacquers are a little more "down to earth" in their shades.  These are more typical reds, pinks, beiges, and a few vampy colors.  I bought a really deep taupe/smokey color, which I think will be great for fall as well.  Those pictures are coming shortly...
