Rimmel Red Alert is a Moisture Renew Lipcolor. I don't truthfully find these to feel much different from the older formula but maybe that is just me. This is a classic true red. Please ignore my sloppy application, this was the last swatch and I was ready to be done with it! Hehe, but that aside...I like the color but it has been done many times before. In fact- NYC Retro Red is the same exact color and a slightly less glossy finish for 99 cents.
Pink Chic is another Moisture Renew and is one of those semi-sheer creams if you know what I mean. I always have trouble with these and leaving tell-tale lines in the top lip when I put my lips together. I will mention these swatches aren't blotted and that might help it out. Once again though, I feel like I already own colors exactly like this.
Coral Shimmer...I can't decide if I like this on me or not. What do you think? My lips are pretty pigmented which is a problem with sheer-er colors. I think this may be a little too warm for me but it's pretttty! I always try to pull off corals even though it rarely works out. I do love colors like this though because when I don't want to wear lipgloss this is just enough shimmer and color.
Pink Blush. Look familiar? Yeah. Pink Blush is just a single shade darker than Pink Chic. If it were a little bit more brown (just the teeniest bit) it would be a dupe for MAC Snob, even so it is very passable.
Crush is a weird color. I have a love of weird lipstick shades so from the back of the lipstick I was expecting it to be more orange. This is a weird brown-orange-tan. Kinda reminds me of the 90's. Either way, to frosty for my taste.
This is one of my favorite reds ever- this swatch doesn't do this dark red shimmery masterpiece justice. If you like red lipstick I would recommend picking this baby up.
Celeb is a pretty basic pink in my opinion, a little bit more berry toned and just kinda blah for me.

Sally Hansen...gonna have to look up the name! Will update later
Maybelline Planet Pluto over Sally Hansen...look at this one closer, it's a pretty awesome glitter

LA Colors Magnetic Force...why is there no labels on these? Annoying. This was my first LA colors polish.

This is my favorite of the group, gorgeous shimmy shiny bright orange. This is hot like the sun! Seriously. I painted my moms toes with this and the way this looks in sunlight is unlike any other polish I have. Serious reflective shimmeriness you MUST own! Plus, I like the name. I'm a nerd but I LOVE the Metal Gear games :D

These are only on 2 fingers since they are tiny little bottles. I really like most of these polishes and they have some great colors but do they make these in a larger size? I always get suckered into these because they are only 99 cents but really they aren't that great a value since they are minis. These are all 2-3 coats and they for the most part have great application.




Your Majesty gave me the biggest trouble with application.

This was my memorial day manicure done at the last minute sick in bed (yes, even sick in bed I do my nails). I used all Sally Hansen Insta-Dri colors: Rapid Red, Blue Blast and Whirlwind White. Using the peace sign from my new bundle monster plates I did a quick "tie-dye" with the red and blue. I really love how it came out! I did have some trouble with "bleeding" on this stamp which I had using other polish earlier on my mother's manicure but I've been playing with the BM plates and this is the first problem I've run into!



You can really see the bleeding here.

I'm already gathering some items for my next "green" giveaway which should be up pretty soon!
