Mary Kay Redefining Elegance Nail Polish - Plush Plum, Gold Leaf and Lavish Sable swatches!

My favourite part of the Mary Kay Redefining Elegance fall collection has to be the nail polishes. The colours are so rich and luxurious looking that it makes me feel classy just to wear them!
Plush Plum
Gold Leaf
Lavish Sable

The only thing I don't love is the brush which has a very short handle, I'm used to the standard long ones and am finding the short one harder to control accurately - other than that, these polishes are love!

Essie Brand New Bag - Case Study, Glamour Purse and Lady Like swatches!

OPI Muppet inspired - Gettin' Miss Piggy With It!, Divine Swine and Excuse Moi! swatches!

You've had a week to recover from part 1 of OPI's sparkly Muppet inspired collection so here comes part 2:
Divine Swine - fine purple and large silver sparkles in a clear base. It took about 5 coats to get to this!
Excuse Moi! - mostly fine pink with some small multi-coloured sparkles in a pink base. This is the only one from the glitters that has a coloured base so this effect was achieved with only 2 coats!
Gettin' Miss Piggy With It! - small red and large silver sparkles in a clear base. 5 coats and I can see a few bare spots so I could have used 6 for full coverage!

And here's my guilty admission, glitters are always such a pain to take off but because I had to use so many layers for full coverage, I just applied a really thick base coat first and when I was ready to remove, these suckers just peeled right off - bad for my nails I know but much less aggravating!

Essie Brand New Bag - Carry On, Very Structured and Power Clutch swatches!

The Fall Essie collection is called Brand New Bag and are meant to be classic shades reinvented for modern times. I must admit, this collection is not my favourite - personally, I'm more about the colour - the brighter, the better - like the Essie Braziliant summer collection! But since I know some of you like things more subdued, this is for you - these three are the deeper colours from the collection, come back next week for the lighter tones.
Carry On - is a deep wine colour
Very Structured - is a burnt seinna
Power Clutch - was described as a dark green, but I don't see that as all - call me colour blind but on both my nails and in the bottle it looks grey - with maybe just the slightest hint of green in certain lights!
