I posted the company press release on Dr.'s REMEDY back in February and now I have them reviewed and am posting. First up is Desire, a dark brown creme, or as they said "a cocoa-meets-hot fudge handsome hue." ^_^ I'm not the biggest fan of the square bottle tops because they don't line up perfectly after that first time. Boo.
I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Desire and a top of Seche Vite. The formula was super nice and I seriously think this is one of my best manicures as far as polishing goes. I did have to clean up just a tiny bit with my paint brush, but not much.
I can't quite put my finger on the color - I'm not sure if I love it or not. Part of me loves it because it's like a chocolate bar, part of me loathes it because it's dark brown. I've never been a very big fan of dark polishes.
In the shade, it's quite a dark color - I don't mind dark colors on nubbins as much but on longer nails, I just get super self-conscious. It might be a great Konad base though!
Dr.’s REMEDY® Enriched Nail Polish is available for $16 online at http://www.remedynails.com or by calling 1-877-323-NAIL. You can "Like" them on Facebook.

I am in love with purple holographic polishes. It's probably my absolute favorite "go to" wear for fun (right before red/pink holographic polish.) I couldn't wait to try out Gamer Glam from the Tronica Collection by China Glaze.
I did not use a base or top coat, and this is 2 coats of Gamer Glam.
And a sad old shade picture. Holographic polishes need the sun!
Formula was quite nice... this was actually day 2 of wearing - you can see some tip wear.

From the recent Tronica collection, 3D Fantasy wasn't originally a color that I though I'd like. Listed as a "peachy pink holographic", I'm finding that it's much more of a tomato pink red?
I did not use a base or top coat with this but instead just wore it straight on the nail - 3 coats. Formula was nice but I notice every single ridge in my nails.
And a shade picture - just because.
Maybe this is more peachy? Meh. ^_^

Last in the Femme de Cirque collection is So Many Clowns... So Little Time. Longest nail polish name ever? Heh. I found that it was a rather smooth polish application. I used a base of OPI Natural Nail, 3 coats of So Many Clowns... So Little Time and no top coat.
Another sheer-ish shade. Good for the office, sad for opaque color lovers.
Shade is a lot of the same.
And finally with a coat of I Juggle...Men.
You can see a bit more of the glitter over this color but it's still a bit sheer all the way around.
OPI is available at Professional Salons, including Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard’s, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret, and Ulta, for $8.50 ($10.95 CAN) suggested retail for each Nail Lacquer. Please visit their website for details [official website].

Also in the Femme de Cirque collection is In The Spot-Light Pink, a "pretty pop of pink!" It's a lovely color in the bottle.
I used a base of OPI Natural Nail, 3 coats of In the Spot-Light Pink and no top coat. The formula was quite smooth.
Definitely more sheer than I originally thought. I have seen other bloggers call this a sorbet (like the OPI Texas collection), so maybe?
In the shade - pretty squishy looking (jelly? sorbet?)
Here it is with a layer of I Juggle... Men over it.
Pretty? I like it. Good office appropriate manicure. ^_^
