Borghese Stellar Notte

I'm proud to say that this was actually my very first Borghese. I was hesitant to buy any, simply because I just can't stand the old style looking bottles. I'm a modern girl, and these just don't fit. Until I saw this duochromed girl in a display. I just love having color options from 1 polish. This is purple, blue, teal and a hint of green, which I had a hard time capturing.

Borghese Minis

Good afternoon all. Today I have two *new* Borghese minis to show. They were available in stores around Spring/Summer. And of course I am swatching it now -_- If you missed out on these minis it's ok because it's nothing special. But I thought they were cute and decided to get it.

Borghese Torta Dolce

Sheer gold shimmer


Sheer blue shimmer


Sheer pink shimmer


Sheer green shimmer

These are suppose to worn over colors, but I have yet to try that. Because alone it seems like boring colors.

Borghese Confetti

White pearly shimmer


Fuchsia creme


Purple shimmer


Electric blue shimmer

Overall, this was a yawn to me. Nothing exciting like I've said before. Since they are minis they were a little hard to use. I do like the electric blue shimmer though. It's very bright and vibrant.

A few of the new Borghese Swatches

Okay so I am VERY excited to finally start my blog. I have tons of older swatches and mani designs that I would love to share with you in the future, but for now we shall start with the new Borghese polishes I bought this past weekend from Ulta. I only got 3 of them, but I can say, it's all love!

The 1st one I got is Mediterraneo Sea. It's a deep teal base with silver, purple & bright teal glitter.

The 2nd one I have to share is Vigneto Berry. This is an amzing semi dark magenta with bright pink glitter in it.

Last but not least is Ipnotico Gold. This is an AMZING gold polish with gold glitter in it. This polish can look so different in all types of light!

Borghesem Milani, & Revlon

I'm finally updating! Gosh, life just gets busier and busier every day -_-

I have a bunch of Borghese, Milani, and Revlon's that I've bought for awhile and never got to try on.

Well I finally did with each as NOTD's instead of swatching it.

Borghese


Limoncello - yellow/gold frost. 3 coats. I am in LOVE with this one. I thought this would be my least favorite, but it turn out to be my favorite. It looks a little more gold with hint of yellow.


Pisatcchio - sheer shimmery green. 5 coats. Yes five coats. Any green that needs that many coats doesn't deserve my love. If it was opaque in 2 coats I would've like this more.


Plummagio Purple - blurple. 2 coats. Actually this is more navy blue than purple. It has hints of purple red shimmer in it but barely there. Looks purple on the bottle though.


Stellare Notte - blacken blue/green/purple duochrome. 2 coats. Very pretty.


Tutti Gelati - bright pink with microglitters. 2 coats. Very cute!

Milani


Digital - pink holo. 2 coats


Sweet - barbie pink creme. 3 coats

Revlon


Lilac Pastelle - pastel lavendar creme. 3 coats. (Dries really slow)


Minted - pastel mint green creme. 3 coats (again dries terribly)

So all these are drugstore finds of course. Milani has the best formula/application IMO. Borghese formula is not bad either but their brush is hard to get used to. Revlon is kinda thick and the dry time is terrible.

I'm working on all my drugstore brand nail polishes this whole month. I have a lot of Sally Hansen to do... I hope I get to it >_<

I don't have time to do swatches anymore so my posts are gonna be slower since all the pics are literally gonna be NOTD pics. I hope that's OK with everyone :)

Borghese Serena Nail Laquer Mini Kit

Hi guys! Catching up on my posts. Today I have the Borghese Mini Kit in Serena. I found this mini set at Rite-Aid in which I forgot the price.. it was around $7.99 - $9.99 a little pricey for mini's but there was one color in there that looks absolutely stunning!

These polishes don't have names, so I'm just going to label them 1, 2, 3, and 4 (according to the order they came in)


I found this pouch a little cute. And mini's are just so adorable! It's like the babies of regular sized nail polishes!



#1 - a brown based creme packed with silver glitters. Sheer but three coats did the job.


#2

#2 - My favorite of the bunch! A gorgeous charcoal gray, green, purple, blue duo chrome. It looks absolutely stunning! I hope Borghese makes a big bottle of this. I tried my best to picture all the colors. But I can't seem to really capture the green or the purple. I love this one.


#3 - A clear base with red, pink, purple, and blue glitters. I bet it looks amazing as a top coat over a dark purple base (like #4)


#4 - A vampy purple shimmer. Looks like a plain jane, but I like it. I just wished I tried the glitter #3 over it. Bet it would look amazing.

This is my first time trying Borghese nail polish. And I am satisfied. Mini's were quite harder to apply because of the size, but application was flawless. No streaks and no clumps. I'm looking forward to trying more Borghese nail polishes in the future :)

I'm done with two of my hardest exam's today. And I have one more to go!
