NOTD: Dr.'s REMEDY ESSENTIAL Emerald


Dr.'s REMEDY ESSENTIAL Emerald


from their Jolly and Joy Collection


Description: A take on the classic tree-and-plant-inspired gem of a shade, with delicate glimmer and unparalleled amounts of glamour.


I had just one last shade left to swatch in this collection- now I'm done! That's at least that's one thing I completed in 2011!




This shade applied like a dream- 1 coat was almost opaque, but it did need a second to completely even it out. So pretty.

NOTD: China Glaze Glittering Garland

China Glaze Glittering Garland


When I started nail blogging, green was still an off-limits color for me. I am not sure why, but I just didn't think I could wear it. But now that I have relaxed a little, I realize I LOVE green nail polish. Isn't this gorgeous? The above swatch is two coats.

NOTD: Nicole by OPI All Reindeer Go to Heaven topped with Extra Snowflakes Please

Last month I picked up the Nicole by OPI Merry Must Have Minis at Target for about $10, and I am absolutely loving this set. It contains four shades: All Reindeer Go To Heaven, Extra Snowflakes Please, Miss Claus' Night Out, and How Rude-olph!


I was excited to see that Extra Snowflakes Please is a dupe for my beloved Cover Girl City Lights.

NOTD: China Glaze Ring in the Red

China Glaze Poinsettia (2 coats)

topped with

China Glaze Ring in the Red (1 coat)


I thought this was a pretty combo! From pictures I'd seen, I knew that Ring in the Red wasn't

full-coverage, so I did a base coat with Poinsettia, which is gorgeous on it's own.

NOTD: Stila Kitten

Stila Kitten

from the Delicate Set (top set in the pic below)



Kitten (third from left on top) is described as "nude base with gold and silver pearl"



I have to admit I was a little underwhelmed with this shade. As a lover of the Kitten eyeshadow, I was hoping to love this as well. The main thing I love about the eyeshadow is the glow- it has a beautiful shimmering quality, and that's something they didn't follow through with for the nail polish.


To me, the base was a bit murky, and that kept the glitter from sparkling. While it *is* pretty, it's just not what I thought Kitten nail polish would be.


Hope to find time to try some of the other shades soon and let you know what I think.

Have you tried the Stila nail polish yet?
