Dose of Lola

Doing a little throwback with these swatches from Summer 2011. If you haven't heard of Dr.'s Remedy yet, check out their Facebook page for information about what makes them doctor approved.








2 coats

Nurture Nude Pink is a warm pinky beige with pink shimmer. It reminds me of Barielle Pink Sherbet (no, they're not dupes), which is an all-time favorite of mine. I love shades like these. They are so easy to wear.






2 coats

Bold Baby Blue is a bright blue metallic foil. Metallics and I don't often get along, but the color makes the finish a little more bearable.




1 coat

Lovely Lavender is a dustry lavender creme. Holy pigmented, Batman! Beautifiul color and it's a one-coater?! Double winning.






2 coats

Tranquil Tangerine is a not so tranquil golden orange metallic. Colors like this just don't look good on me. I was very angry at NARS for releasing a similar color last year. Clearly, only colors that suit me should be available for purchase (just kidding!).






2 coats

Most golds look absolutely terrible on me, but Glee Gold is definitely an exception. It's a gorgeous neutral gold that is wearable despite the metallic finish. Definitely my favorite from the collection, which is so weird for me to say!





The formula on these was great. They all applied smoothly and easily. Also, the shades are definitely more unique than what I've experienced from them in the past.



Dr.'s Remedy polishes retail for $17 and are available for purchase on their website.

It's snowing, and I'm not feeling particularly Spring-y, so this is the perfect time to share some winter shades with you.



1 coat


Desire Dark Brown is, clearly, a dark brown creme. I love deep chocolate shades like this because anything lighter makes my hands look funny. It has awesome pigmentation, too. 1 coat was satisfactory in normal lighting, but of course, under the scrutiny of a bright light and macro setting, a couple bald spots showed up. Regardless, it's a gorgeous shade.


2 coats


Healing Heather Grey is a blue-toned grey creme. I really love this one. I think the coolness of it works well with my warm skin, which can't be said for all my grey creme. I have a lot of grey cremes, but I can't put my finger on which on this reminds me of. Not very unique, but still pretty. 






1 coat


Revive Ruby Red is a red with orange shimmer. While the orange isn't very obvious on the nail, at the right angle you can catch a glimpse of it. I'm personally not a huge fan of red shimmers, but this might tickle your fancy if you are. Also, talk about crazy pigmented, huh? I don't often come across one coat shimmers.


There's a fourth shade in the collection, Nurture Nude Pink. I love that the names are ridiculously self-explanatory, lol. 


The formula on these is great. I had not problems with application and dry time was actually quite speedy. I wore Desire Dark Brown for 4 days and experienced just a little bit of tip wear. Also, I didn't notice much of a smell from these. Typically when you open a bottle of polish, it's obvious you've just opened a bottle of polish. Not the case with these. Pretty cool.



Overall, the Winter Wonder-Nails shades aren't the most unique, and at $16 a bottle, you can definitely find cheaper dupes. They do have an awesome formula and great nail benefits that give them a leg up, though. It's up to you whether that justifies the cost of these.



This is a completely new polish brand to me, so I did a little research. Dr.'s Remedy takes Big 3 Free to the next level. Their polishes have garlic bulb extract (promotes nail growth), wheat protein (promotes nail moisture and strength), and other good for you ingredients. It's the first-ever nail polish approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. High five, Dr.'s!



They've already released their Spring line, which has much more unique shades. Check out their website @ www.remedynails.com/

About me

As a kid, while everyone else was collecting Pokemon cards, I was collecting Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. My addiction to lip balm evolved into an addiction to all things beauty – from makeup to hair to nail polish.
