Seche Not Easily Swept Away


If you've been following PolishGalore for any period of time, you may have figured out that my favorite color is purple. So you can only imagine that when I saw this lovely lavender, Not Easily Swept Away, I was jumping for joy. But not every polish can be a winner.

I used a base coat of Seche Natural, 1 coat of polish and a top of Seche Vite.

Now the polish itself was lovely - highly pigmented and opaque but mother of pearl, those ridges! I need to wear a ridge filler with this polish and I don't know why. The rest of this collection didn't do me this way. I was a sad panda.

The shade is a little better - not as much ridge shame but blah!  Okay, so I'm not totally in love with the shade of lavender - it's much lighter than I'd prefer but still lovely.

Finally indoors - more ridges. Yikes. Definitely wear a ridge filler next time - or else your little secret is on display like no tomorrow.  Kinda like Miley's backside at the VMA's this year. 

Seche [Website | Facebook | Twitter] Nail Lacquer is available at professional beauty supply stores, select etailers and Ulta online. Price ranges from $4 to $7.50 depending on retailer.

Seche Pretty Little Heartbreaker


Continuing to go down the line of the Bright and Bold collection and this is Pretty Little Heartbreaker, a bubble gum pink creme. I used a base of Seche Natural, 1 coat of polish, and a top of Seche Vite.

Another winner here from Seche.
Very Barbie pink.

Great base for stamping or nail art, I feel.

Very opaque and pigmented. I'm not sure I could wear this on a daily basis like it is, but I'm sure there are plenty of ladies who would love this baby.

Salon Perfect Fall 2013


More fall coming down the pipeline. Now I have a love/hate with Salon Perfect. I love that it's like the baby sister to China Glaze and the new bottle shape is something that I don't mind collecting but it's SO hard for me to find Salon Perfect at my Wal-Mart. I went tonight and the entire two racks were WIPED. The only thing they had was Salon Perfect Sugar Cube (which is actually a really nice white, but still).


 Also really big this year is Matte top coats. I don't totally understand it except all old things are new again. Remember when matte polish was awesome? Me too.  Regardless, please enjoy the following press release.
When it comes to accessorizing this Fall’s most fashionable looks, a pop of rich color is the perfect way to spice up otherwise sensible shades for the season.  Gorgeous emerald green looks luxe against neutrals while deep berry tones add pizzazz to black.  This August, polish off any look with the new Salon Perfect® First Look Fall Polish Forecast.

Accessorize with a colorful manicure in one of the gorgeous seasonal shades.  Choose from iridescent metallics and vibrant blues to rich reds and subtle pinks.  No matter the shade, achieve a smooth, satin finish with the limited edition Matte FX top coat, or slick on a shiny top coat for a glassy, glam finish.  The Salon Perfect® First Look Fall Polish Forecast offers a bounty of manicure options this Fall.
