China Glaze Body & Sol (Summer 2019) Collection | Swatches and Review

Hi everyone!

Sorry for being a little bit remiss about posting here over the past 2 months... I was finishing up my semester and wasn't able to write as much. Hopefully you'll be hearing more from me now that it's the summer!

Today I'm doing a swatch and review of the entire Body & Sol Summer 2019 Collection from China Glaze. The collection is 8 polishes total, and are various different shades of nude with some sort of a glimmery, shimmery twist to each. I was really excited to try these out since they are totally different from what I'd expect of a summer collection. But as someone who does not wear many summer neons and bright colors, these seem much more my style. Plus, all of these polishes are so different from anything else I have in my collection.

Let's get into the review... Be warned: this is a photo heavy post!

First up is "Beaches and Toes". Here I'm wearing 3 coats with top coat. I probably could've gotten away with 2, but the third coat really helps make everything a little more opaque. I would describe this as a classic taupe, with silver holographic microglitter throughout.

butter London Peel-Off Glitter Collection | Live Swatches and Review

Hi everyone!

Today I have a swatch and review for the butter London Peel-Off Glitter Collection.

I love using glitter in my nail art, but I have to admit.... Scrubbing off glitter with acetone and trying to get every speck of glitter off my nails and cuticles after a nail art design is a bit of a hassle. When butter London reached out to me about this collection, I was so excited! It sounded like the perfect solution for me.

Keep on reading to hear what I thought of these polishes and to see my swatch photos/my live swatch video!

Essie Gel Couture Polishes Review | NailsByErin

Hi everyone!

Today I have two swatches from the Essie Gel Couture line. I was recently sent these polishes to review and I cannot believe I haven't tried out the Gel Couture line sooner!

I've been a long-time fan of Essie nail polishes (they were some of the first I ever had) and these are becoming new favorites of mine.

I received the below 8 nail polishes as well as the Platinum Grade top coat.

Overall impressions: these shades are gorgeous, the formulas are smooth and easy to apply, and the two step system seems to really compliment each other. Not to mention, these have the new, flatter and wider Essie brush which makes application a dream!! I am SO excited about their new brush and I think it is a huge improvement.

Now, into the swatches!

butter London Patent Shine 10x Swatches and Review

Hi everyone!

Today I have swatches for 5 polishes from the butter London Patent Shine 10x Collection.

The Patent Shine 10x Lacquers are a 10-in-1 formula that is meant to be long-lasting with high shine. The range comes in 32 colors, and there is definitely a shade for everyone. All of their nail polishes are also 8-Free, which means they do not contain the dangerous ingredients Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP, Toluene, Camphor, Ethyl Tosylamide, Xylene, or TPHP.

Here's how butter London describes these lacquers: Butter London's innovative patent shine 10x formula is loaded with ingredients proven to promote brighter, stronger, healthier nails for your best-dressed nails yet. The patented shock resisting polymer technology delivers limitless shine with up to 10 days of wear. It’s everything you need in one brilliant bottle.

Keep on reading to see which polishes I tried out and what I thought about them. Fair warning: this is a photo-heavy post!


First up is one of my top two favorites... This is "Candy Floss", a baby blue creme. Here I'm wearing three coats with top coat.

Even without top coat, I will admit these polishes are pretty shiny. They definitely can be worn without a top coat, I just always prefer to put one on in order to finish and seal in the nail polish!

Zoya "Merida" Swatch & Review | #SwatchSunday

Hello everyone!

I apologize for my short little break! I start my first year in college in just a week, and have been tied up with last minute shopping and other preparations.

Today I have #SwatchSunday post for you all; one that I have really been looking forward to! I recently got a bottle of Zoya "Merida" from their new Urban Grunges Collection. I absolutely knew that I had to have this polish (not just because it is a sparkly deep green) but because Merida is my favorite princess. I have long, curly, red hair just like her, so I always say that she's my twin :)

Ok, enough back story! Here's my review.
