Laura Mercier Organza and Nude Peach swatches

Laura Mercier Organza. Three coats. Love the shimmer in this! This is from the new 2012 fall collection and still available to purchase. I bought mine from Nordies.

Laura Mercier Nude Peach. Four coats. It is a bit squishy/jelly looking. This is an oldie and long discontinued.

BB Couture Eye Candy Men swatches

BB Couture Heavenly Hunk. Three coats.

Ruby Kisses Baby Blue Glitter over Heavenly Hunk. One coat.

BB Couture Playboy. Two coats. My favorite from this collection.

NYX Girls Gilded Glitter over Playboy. One coat. Not color accurate but I love this combo.

BB Couture Sexy Centerfold. Two coats.

BB Couture Rustic Romantic. Three coats.

BB Couture Dirty Blonde. Three coats. I found the formula runny and a bit hard to work with.

BB Couture Silver Fox. Three coats.

Overall, I like the women's collection better. The formula on these were on the runny side. Not enough to make me complain like Dirty Blonde, but still noticeable.

Cult Nails swatches

Cult Nails Cruisin' Nude. Three coats.

Sephora by OPI Indi-go With The Flow over Cruisin' Nude. One coat. I really like how this one turned out. 

Kiko 232 over Cruisin' Nude. One coat. 

Cult Nails Living Water. Three coats. 

Cult Nails Hypnotize Me over Living Water. One coat. 

Lynnderella Mercury's Rainbow over Living Water. One coat. 

Cult Nails Time Traveler. Two coats. Tardis blue?! I wonder where the inspiration for this one came from. 

Cult Nails Seduction over Time Traveler. Two coats. 

Then I added one coat of Savvy Prince Ala Charm over Seduction. 

J2 Purple Dazzle over Time Traveler. One coat. 

Cult Nails Toxic Seaweed. Three coat. 

SpaRitual Alchemy over Toxic Seaweed. One coat. 

Cult Nails In A Trance. Two coats. 

Cult Nails Let Me Fly. Two coats. 

Barielle Karma Collection

I think on the Barille website this is called the Karma Kollection. "Kollection" Really? Let's not go there.

Do Unto Others. Mmmm. Beautiful turquoise creme. I think if i used a thicker coat, I could have gotten away with one coat. I did have to add a few drops of thinner to this before using. It was just a tad too thick for my tastes, but nothing too bad.

More Connect the Dots! One coat.

Then I tried one coat of CND Emerald Shimmer.

Positive ZEN-ergy. Light grass green with silver shimmer. This reminds me a green version of Butter London's Victoriana. I can say this is unique to my green collection! Three thin coats and no formula issues.

One coat of Deborah Lippmann Today Was A Fairytale.

Soul-er Powered. Golden yellow packed with gold shimmer. The shimmer really made me love this one. It is so sparkly even in low lights. Two coats and perfect! This is my favorite among the colors I picked up from this collection.

One coat of Deborah Lippmann Boom Boom Pow.

Buddha-ful. Blue/green flakies in a beige base. Four coats on its own. It gives it that opal gem look. I love flakies but I can't find myself reaching for this one. The base seems too opaque to be layered over any color without changing the base color so much. My CND Limelight has the same flakie colors and is an almost clear base. I want to say there is a Nfu-Oh flakie with same blue/green flakes that would work as well. I think if they made the base more jelly-like I would have loved it more (like Elle's Spell). I've also layered this over CND Perfectly Bare.

It was really hard for me to capture the blue flash in the flakies, so here is a bottle picture. 

A comparison of Buddha-ful and CND Limelight. Pink and middle (pink is left) is CND Limelight and ring and index is Buddha-ful. These are all one coat over a black creme (American Apparel Hassid). They both have the same color type of flakies but Buddha-ful as you can see, is in a cremey base.

Here is Creative Nail Design (CND) Limelight for good measure. Two coats over American Apparel Hassid, a black creme. There is a small tint to the base, but it is hardly noticeably over black. It is beautiful isn't it?!
