Dose of Lola

2 coats


Lately, I've been on the hunt for the perfect greige polish. Out of the ones I've tried so far, Waking Up In Vegas comes closest. It pops just enough against my skintone, but it's still chic and subtle. Awesome!


The application and pigmentation was divine. I barely needed a second coat, but it glided on so smoothly and perfectly that I couldn't help it. The finish is not as shiny as most of here cremes. It dries to a semi-satin finish that I quite like, so I wore this with no topcoat. The dry time was faster than most. I wore this for 4 days before I experienced a tiny bit of chipping, which you can see on my middle nail. Not bad for no topcoat.


After 4 days, I was bored but didn't have time to do a new mani. Instead, I added Studio M Fast Play


1 coat


Fast Play is a light purple base with tons of gold/green duochrome glitter. It's gorgeous!

These 3 polishes are part of the Fall 2010 collection. I used 2 coats for each. They're pretty, but not at all unique.





The label says Sophisticated Lad, but I assumed they just ran out of room for the y. This is a taupe cream. It's slightly more brown than grey. The application could've been better. It was goopy and runny at the same time. Thinner coats is definitely the way to go for this one.




Not So Subtle is your typical grey creme. It applied much better than Sophisticated Lad(y).


Uhhh this polish is definitely calle dGet The Blues. I'm not sure how I turned it into "Get It Blue." Oh well! It's a midtone blue creme. A little dusty. This could be opaque in one coat if you're careful.

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.
