GOSH Gasoline and Purple Heart

Gasoline - 3 Coats, 1 Coat Poshe


Today I have more GOSH polishes for you!  These colors are so awesome too!  I really wish the GOSH brand was available in the US!  I would buy all of their colors!  Lindsay from Polish & Diamonds was kind enough to swap with me for these!! ;-)

Gasoline is a gorgeous shimmer that is purple, but you can see hints of blue and pink in it.  It was extremely hard for my camera to pick this color up!  I know in the bottle it is more purple, but I definitely could see the fuschia color on the nail.  This is 3 coats of Gasoline and 1 coat of Poshe. 















Now I personally think that they switched to two names for these polishes!  Gasoline should be the murky green to purple color!  Even the bottle has color swirls like you'd seen in gasoline!  And Purple Heart can be the shimmer one above, I guess because it reminds me of Valentine's Day and it has shimmer of purple, blue, and pink.  Oh well!  I guess that's the names they wanted!  Hope I didn't confuse anyone with my rambling ;-)  lol


Purple Heart - 2 Coats, 1 Coat Poshe



Purple Heart is a gorgeous duochrome!  It changes from purple, to a grey, to a green.  This is 2 coats with 1 coat of Poshe.  It also has a nice shimmer through it, nothing to bold, but just enough to keep the polish looking even more interesting than the color shift.  Plenty of pictures to see all the different shades of color from this gorgeous bottle!



See the bottle!?  It looks like gasoline! lol







 














So do you love these colors?  Me too.  And I'm sure some of you are sad because you don't have GOSH anywhere near you.  But you're in luck!  I *think* I have found some dupes for these, so look for that post in the next couple of days.  I'm not sure if I'll do the last two GOSH polishes or my comparisons yet.   Leave me a comment if you prefer one over the other!

Hope you enjoyed more swatches of GOSH!  ;-)

Much Love,

GOSH Golden Brown and Rusty

Golden Brown - 2 coats, 1 Poshe top coat


Today I have 2 of the 6 GOSH polishes I received in a swap from Lindsay at Polish & Diamonds.  I decided to break these into 3 posts because I have so many pictures!  And who doesn't love pictures!?  So today I am featuring Golden Brown and Rusty.  And I must say, these two went on perfectly!  I didn't even do any clean up on these!  The brush is a bit tinier than most, but it gave me great precision!  Both only needed 2 coats, which I actually thought Golden Brown would need at least 3!  I think they were even nice at 1 coat, which really surprised me.  Both received a nice thick coat of Poshe top coat to give them extra shine!












Now, go ahead and call me crazy, but Golden Brown made me think of blonde hair! LOL So below is a picture of my hair with the mani.  Don't they sort of look similar!?   I know it's not perfect, but that is just what I am forever going to associate this color with now :-) lol!





Next is Rusty, a gorgeous "red head" color!  hehe but it is stunning!  It has these extra little pieces of shimmer in it, giving it extra sparkle!  It also reminded me of a shiny new penny!


Rusty - 2 coats, 1 Poshe top coat










These are wonderful new additions to my collection!  And the formula is great!  I hope your excited for the two purples tomorrow!! :-)

Have a great Monday!  Isn't hard to believe how quick the weekend goes by!?  If only we had an extra day or two!  Maybe I'd been able to relax more and get everything done that I needed too! lol

Much Love,
Crystal

Joe Fresh!!

Twilight - 3 coats


I have 3 gorgeous Joe Fresh polishes to show you!  I did a swap with the lovely Lindsay at Polish & Diamonds.  I am so thrilled to have these!  They apply like butter!  First up is Teal, it could almost be a 1 coater (I used 2)!  It is a teal color (hence the name, lol) and has a pearl shimmer.  Next is Khaki, which I used 2 coats.  It is a light army green with a pearl shimmer.  And last, but not least, is Twilight, which is a black jelly and flakie that shifts from green to gold to orange.  I used 3 coats for the pictures.   This color is so pretty!  The flakies are huge too, which make it even better!  Each polish has a thick coat of Poshe top coat (love how glossy they look!).  It says they are $4 on the bottle, but I believe Lindsay found them 3/$10!  She is in Canada, but I believe they have a store in New York?  Not 100% sure, sorry!





Teal loved to change colors on me and not photograph very well!  It is pretty close though in the picture above though.  I've read that this is a perfect dupe to Rescue Beauty Louge - 360, sorry I don't have RBL to compare it!














Next is Khaki!  Another hard color to photograph! lol The color dried slightly darker than the bottle.










It is crazy how much lighting affects the color!  It kept changing on me, like in the next two photos!









And last we have Twilight!!  Wow.  Just wow.  Black jelly with huge flakies - need I say more?













Hope you enjoyed my photos of my new beauties!  Thanks again to Lindsay for swapping!! 

Have a great weekend!

Much Love,
