Seche Dives In Head First

Press Sample

Halfway through the Bright and Bold Collection Summer 2013 from Seche and we have Dives In Head First, this lovely bubblegum pink creme. I used a base of Seche Natural, 1 coat, and a top of Seche Vite.  Lovely bones.

You see this sun photo? You see this squishy pink? You like? I love.

Rather see it in the shade? Deal. Jelly.

Finally indoors with the light coming through my now broken storm door (I'm still bitter, don't mind me). I really fell in love with this pink and that's saying something because normally pinks are a dime a dozen and I'm saying "yawn, next." This was pretty much my stand out color in the collection.

China Glaze Autumn Nights

Ah geez, Fall 2013 already? Yes.  One more collection from Cosmoprof North America that I wasn't able to talk about until now (grumble) and a blurry picture to go with it! I don't know what was wrong with me. But I'm pretty much in love with the top half so there's that.  It's something about jewel tones.  The bottom half... well I'm needing a pick me up because I'm not a fan yet.

You may have seen these on display already but the official release is supposed to be September 2013. Twelve new shades available in open stock, 6 piece box collections ("Gossip over Gimlets" and "Strike Up A Cosmo") and then the pretty 6 piece counter display, 12 piece counter display and 36 piece rack.  Those last 3 things are mainly for the professionals.

My picks are Strike Up A Cosmo (the rose gold on top) and Goldie But Goodie (the gold shimmer on top) but I'm interested in how Gossip Over Gimlets (silver foil on bottom) will wear too. 

As the season begins to change and the weather cools, China Glaze® invites you to step inside for an evening of cocktails, gossip, flirtation and gorgeous nail color with the new Autumn Nights collection. Gab with the gals, clink those glasses and cheers to a fabulous Fall with nails that strike up a conversation.

Gossip Over Gimlets

Platinum shimmer soiree

Goldie But Goodie

Eternal rust gold shimmer

Strike Up A Cosmo

Seche Wild One

Press Sample

More Seche Bright and Bold today - this is Wild One, a pretty coral creme. Okay, so I had to cheat on this one a little. I used a base of Seche Natural, and two coats of polish before my top of Seche Vite.  Normally this polish line is one coat but I think I got too excited and that's what caused me to need two coats. If you don't let your base coat dry completely, you can get drag when applying your color coat.

Pretty coral sun photo. It's like salmon coral here but wait until you see it in the shade, hold on.

Turn around in the shade and you see more coral. Be wild, little one.

Ta da - indoors with some indirect light. I chose a different photo that my original one that was on the Nail It mag because I feel this one shows more coral that the others. Whatevs, *NSYNC reunited last night and I can't really move forward from that because my inner teenager is too excited.  WILD ONE.

Seche Clever and Confident

Okay, so I just showed you one of the 6 summer polishes from the Seche Summer collection but earlier this month, Seche announced their Fall 2013 collection too!

Now, I was able to get a few photos during Cosmoprof North America 2013 but call it shaky hands or something because only one came out well enough to show.

Okay, so it's hard to tell, but this fall collection is all beautiful jewel toned polishes.  And now for the official press release!

Leading a versatile life, the Seche woman is the toast of the town. Her busy schedule and wonderfully witty sense of humor keep her happy, as is. You never know what this silly, but sensible woman will have in store for you… but her intuition assures she is always clever and confident.

Shades in the collection include:

Happy, As Is

A vibrant raspberry red crème

Wonderfully Witty

A rich navy blue crème

Silly, But Sensible

The perfect fall burnt orange crème

Clever and Confident

A delectable, deep plum crème

Versatile
A dark teal crème, versatile for anyone

Seche Scorchin' Hot

 Press Sample

Last year, Seche quietly launched their newest product - Color! It started with 33 iconic shades but has since branched out into a story line all about the "Seche Woman" with over 58 shades! The first themed collection was in the spring 2013, and it was called Prim & Polished. Next was the summer 2013 collection called Bright and Bold, which I debuted on Nail It! online back in June.  Now that things are settling down a bit for me, I'm able to show each polish in a little more detail, like I'm known for.

The first polish I'm showcasing is Scorchin' Hot, a serious red creme. I used a base of Seche Natural, 1 coat of polish and a top of Seche Vite.

So here's the deal about Seche colors. It's one coat - seriously. One coat coverage. However, that's just for the polish. You still need to use your base and top coats to get protection and shine. I stayed with the Seche family of products because they work well together, but if you have a favorite base or top coat, try it out!

Here is Scorchin' Hot in the sun - can you see how opaque and pigmented it is? Seriously. 

Meanwhile, here is Scorchin' Hot in the shade - you are seeing a bit of green tint from the grass which has been growing like crazy in this Texas heat. 

Finally we have this lovely red indoors with some indirect sunlight. It's hot, lovely, bold and pretty amazing if I may say so myself.  While summer may be coming to a close fast, it's still a great staple for any collection. I'm having a hard time not BUYING ALL THE SECHE because I am super happy with the formula, consistency, and opacity.

So where to buy? At first Seche Lacquer was only available at professional beauty supply stores and select e-tailers [Head2ToeBeauty] but now Ulta has picked up the line as well! Unfortunately, you can only purchase online with Ulta, and they do not have the summer (or spring) collections available.

With Ulta, the price is $7.50 for a 14 mL/0.5 fl oz of polish - but you may find different prices online with etailers or at professional beauty supply stores.
