The Color Workshop- Pink

For starters, I'm not sure what to call this color, as I'm not sure if The Color Workshop has names for their polishes. So, I'm just going to have to give it a name that I find suitable. Now, this one to me is a soft pink color. The consistency of said polish is not too thin, nor too thick. Two coats, but not too thick of coats will do for this one. Drying time, the normal 20 minutes I would say, give or take a little more. Chip factor: almost a week; given of course what it is you do to protect your nails. Overall, I would recommend this. -

This is the standard French manicure color. Like the pastel mauve, this one too is lightly and sweetly scented. Can be worn alone also, if you so desire. 2 to 3 coats, depending on how you want your nails to look. It too dries sleek, shiny and professional looking. Goes on smooth. I recommend this one as well. As with all Yves Rocher products, be sure to check site for prices and/or availability of products. -

This lovely French manicure color is great for none other than the classic French manicure. However, I've discovered that it could/can be worn alone. When worn alone, 2 to 3 coats are necessary; depending on how you like it. This polish also is very lightly and sweetly scented. It goes on real smooth, dries with a very nice shine to it too. Drying time is standard; the average time most polishes take to dry. You could speed up the drying time by using those nail polish drying liquids; Yves Rocher has one and it works like magic! This one has become a favourite of mine; I usually wear it alone though. Nails are left sleek, shiny, and professional looking. Two thumbs up in my book. -
Avon Speed Dry Brown Pearl

What woman doesn't like nail polish that dries in no time? With Avon's Speed Dry line, you get nails that are ready in under a minute. It actually claims to be dry in 30 seconds. This particular brand/formula holds true to that saying. I never before tried polish that dried that fast, but when I tried it, I was amazed. I've heard of them before, don't get me wrong, I was just a little skeptical like the rest. Not anymore. As always, a few days in, it started to chip. But don't let that stop you from buying it. No nail polish is chip-proof. I really don't know how to describe the color, but I will say that it's very pretty. It's dark, so you'd want to wear dark/er colors during the colder months. Usually you wear bright colors when the weather is warm/er. Don't let the "pearl" in the name fool you, this one is a nice medium to medium dark brown with slight sparkle to it. So to wrap things up, yes I do recommend this one, as it's affordable, dries quick, and comes in a variety of colors. -
Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear Nail Polish

Let me start by saying that when painting your nails, it's always wise to use a top coat if you want it to last longer. Now, this color is a really deep purple color, I'd almost say that it has the color similar to the vegetable beet. It's a very pretty color. I've been fortunate enough to have a skin tone that ALMOST any color looks good on me. I picked this up at Shopper's Drug Mart when it was on sale; $2.99. That, to me, is a great value. So I splurged and bought 5 more bottles, lol. (Not the same color though). After a few days, I noticed my nail color started chipping, so ladies, you want to use a top coat with this one. That's my only downfall. There is another plus to this; it dries pretty quick; estimated dry time is 5-10 minutes, 10 minutes top. It doesn't say anywhere on the bottle that it dries quick, but believe me, it does. So, I DO recommend it, as it's quick drying, and the color is very rich; also at that price, who wouldn't resist? Overall, well worth the investment. -
Victorinox Swiss Unlimited- by Swiss Army

For those who are familiar with the Swiss Army brand, you might be interested in this one as well. I believe this is a cologne, and not meant for a woman, however, I myself really enjoyed this one. This one too I had a sample of. Reading the back of the package it came in, here is a sampling of a few of the ingredients. Geraniol, Limonene, Lilial, Coumarin, Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Cinnamal, Eugenol, Citral. Now, Swiss Army has been known to make great scents, and this is one of them. As I said, I really like this one, but it is too expensive for me at the moment. It's got a nice crisp scent, lingers long enough to not have to apply to often. (We all know someone who does that), applies too much and doesn't know it, lol. If you're willing to shell out the money for this one, I recommend it. Having said that, I give this one two thumbs up. -
Beyonce Pulse- Eau de Parfum

For some reason, I seem to detect a sweet smell to this one- it almost smells to me like it could be orange zest? I could be wrong. It was around a year ago that this particular eau de parfum was given to me. Yes, it too is a sample size, but not those ones that come on that postcard type thing for one-time uses. It was actually given to me by my local newspaper lady at the time. She said she didn't like it, and that it didn't smell good on her. She got it from those sample counters at The Bay I believe. Any who, I tried it, and I'm shocked that it's actually something I'd wear, given if I had more of it. It stays with you too, so no need to apply often. It is a nice soft, feminine scent. Do look into this one, and/or find more info on it. I would recommend it. Never hurts to try before you buy. That's the only way to determine what's right for you. -
Burberry Body Eau de Parfum

This one along with the other reviews above, is also very feminine. Light, airy, soft, and very subtle, is a nice one to look into. I had a sample of this, and fell in love with this one too. Now, given that I DO love floral scents and the fact I'm not sure what's in this one, I think I'm converted, lol. It smells nice on me, however, since everybody's body chemistry is different, you might want to try it before buying it. You needn't a lot either, it lingers for a while. Definitely worth recommending. -
Esprit D'Oscar eau de parfum by- Oscar de la Renta

A nice womanly scent, this eau de parfum is very light, and appears to me to have a hint of rose scent to it? This one could be worn during the warmer months, as like I said, it's light and airy. It's very pleasing to the nose, not overpowering like some others. If you want to try something different, I recommend looking into this one. This one also has staying power. -

I'm not sure how to describe the scent, but it appears to me to be kind of sweet smelling? It has staying power, which is good; no need to apply it very often. Overall, it's light, crisp and very pleasant to the nose. I would definitely recommend this one. -
