Dr.'s REMEDY Revive

Next in the Dr.'s REMEDY Winter 2010 Collection is Revive, a shimmer-infused Wizard of Oz-inspired shade of crimson.  It's like a Ruby Red Slippers without glitter, which is nice to see.


I used a base of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Revive and a top of Seche Vite.  The formula on this one was super thin with the first coat but with the second coat, it was beautiful and even.  

Can you see the satin like shimmer on the nail?  Lovely.

It's also pretty sweet looking in the shade.  I think it would look great with some metallic flowers stamped over it as well - it's a lovely base.  I might even try it with some crackle!

Dr.'s REMEDY Healing

Another from the 2010 Winter Collection from Dr.'s REMEDY is Healing, a seductive pewter with deep blue undertones.  It's light like deborah lippmann's Waking Up In Vegas, but the blue undertones makes this a cousin, not a dupe.  I'll have to do a comparison soon.


I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 2 coats of Healing and a top of Seche Vite.  The formula was quite nice on this polish as well.  Before I forget, I didn't happen to get "Nurture" which was the nude pink color in this collection.

I thought this polish would be more streaky, so I'm glad it's definitely not.  It has some milky properties so you can see a bit of VNL on my pinkie, but it's not bad.

In the shade, the blue really shows up - still a nice cool color - almost like freshly poured concrete.

Dr.'s REMEDY Desire

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!

China Glaze Gamer Glam

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.
