Dose of Lola

3 coats, 1 coat over AA Hassid


Ulta finally stocked Elle's Spell! It's a gorgeous red jelly with red/orange flaky glitter. I knew it would look great over black, so I did a nail with that combo. It really helps the glitter stand out.

This is part of the Wicked Wonderland Set. It's a deep purple with violet and blue shimmer.

Just wanted to share some quick swatches of this adorable mini set from Color Club!



3 coats


Super thick and goopy! I did not like applying this at all. I think I'll add a little thinner. I love the color, though. Totally Winter.




2 coats


Stunning. I need more golds in my life.




3 coats


So bright and happy! This is my favorite from the set.




2 coats


So pretty, but it'll need top coat to look smooth. No biggie.




The formula on these (minus Snowflakes) was nice. I would definitely recommend this set if you're a fan of glitters and fun colors. They're all wearable year round, too.

I was going to skip this because the colors looked really similar and boring, but they have really pretty shimmer that I thought would look interesting layered. Unfortunately, it's the same exact shimmer in every polish, so they all look super similar over black. Oh well. I like them best over black, but the look the most distinguishable over white or alone.



They were all thick and a little streaky on the first coat, but it's nothing insurmountable if you like the colors.


All the polishes were swatched over (l-r): OPI Alpine Snow, nothing, AA Hassid



My favorite of the bunch. I absolutely love it over black! I can see this looking good over tons of different shades; especially blues and greens.


I love what the shimmer does to this bright pink. The shimmer pretty much saves this from being a dud. Spice Drop looks best on its own, in my opinion.


I really want to put this over Zoya Erika for some reason. Hopefully it's as awesome a combo as it is in my head. Anyway, this was kind of meh for me. Eek, when did I develop an aversion to pinks??


Sugar Plum is my second favorite. It looks so bright and fresh! I'd wear this over anything.




Overall, this set is not a must have, but a pretty decent buy if you like a couple of the shades. I do wish that they'd included a green or blue in place of the clear top coat because really, who uses these?? Anyway, I would definitely buy full sizes of Sugar Cookie and Sugar Plum.

Here's my almost current Dior quint collection. I'm missing swatches of Five Golds and Beige Massai, which I'm sure I'll post eventually.





Stylish Move is probably my most used quint. The colors just work so well together. It's pretty much fool proof. :]




I love Earth Reflection for days when I want to look super alert and bright-eyed. The taupes in this quint aren't overly cool, so it works for me. 




Night Dust is one of my favorite quints. The color combination might be a little strange, but it works! I love wearing the periwinkle on the lid with the bronze in the crease. It's a gorgeous contrast. :]










Dior does purple so well! This is the perfect nighttime quint, but the shades are versatile enough to work for day looks as well.




Crush Glow...meh. Not my favorite. Check out my review here.






I love looking at this quint so, so much. I can't wear it, though. It just doesn't work on me.




Pink Idol is such a pretty, iridescent quint that looks great layered over so many different bases. Love!




I always forget I own this, but it really is a beautiful quint. I should use it more often.


Now, for a couple old school quints...




Doesn't this just scream summer? This is the kind of pigmentation I was hoping to get from Crush Glow.




Verte Siderant is just...stunning. Look at that blue!




This is another quint that layers very well. I love the green over black. Perfection.






I've reviewed a lot of these quint on my Youtube channel, so check those out if you're interested.

Mmmm so much holo-y goodness! The sun was totally MIA, but I did my best to capture the awesomeness.

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.
