Construction In Progress!

The blog is undergoing some major changes.

One major point, is that some posts with images got cut off on the right side, as the widths of the columns are changing. I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to fix the proportions so that you can go back and enjoy old posts properly, or if I’ll just let it be. For now – that is the case! 🙂

Keep your eyes open, and be sure to let me know what you think by e-mail, comment, or the shoutbox!

Ck Splendid Glam Mini Nail Enamel Collection

What it is:
A set featuring four fresh and flirty nail polish shades.

What it does:
ck Calvin Klein Splendid Glam Mini Nail Enamel Collection contains a set of four long-lasting, chip-resistant nail colors. The bold shades of Indigo Blue, Aqua Splash, and Heartbreaker will look amazing peeking out from a pair of strappy sandals and Hint of Pink will give your fingertips a sheer glaze of color.

What else you need to know:
The set includes four Nail Enamels in Hint of Pink, Indigo Blue, Heartbreaker, and Aqua Splash.

all are with two coats except Hint of Pink (ring finger color – that was 4)

Review (5 highest, 1 lowest):

Packaging: 3 out of 5 (the polish is a little misleading, as the cap is bigger than the bottom half holding the contents, making you think you are getting more than what you’re actually buying)

Price: 3 out of 5 ($25 Limited Edition at Sephora)

Quality: 2 out of 5 (each polish had a different consistency and application)

Overall: 2.5 out of 5

My Verdict:
When I first laid eyes on this, it was very much an eye-catcher. I am always a fan of the cK packaging, with its clean lines, and seductive colors. The price range is always a little out of the norm, but at the same time, that’s a given (at least to me) with the company’s name.

This 4pack looked really cute and begged me to take it home as if it was love at first sight. The results were quite disappointing. All the polishes have a differently consistency, Indigo Blue went on the best, with no problems, and was vibrant from the first coat. Hint of Pink went on terribly – it was uneven, streaky, and took four coats to even have a presentable shade. Heartbreaker was cute but was a little streaky at first, and is super high maintenance with application. Last but not least, Aqua Splash looked much nicer in the bottle, was very watery in color, and would probably need a third or fourth coat to look better.

The only one I liked out of this collection was Indigo Blue, and I have a nagging feeling, that the Milani Bolting Blue I swatched a while back might be a dupe. Will let you know!

I don’t recommend anyone to get this – unless they get the Indigo Blue separately – in which case getting OPI or so will just be more effective b/c you’ll get more product too.

Talk About It

Tell me this y’all:

What product would cause the apocalypse for you if it was discontinued?

I can’t live without lipgloss in general (and am quite attached to Too Faced Mirror Gloss), but I also don’t go anywhere without my Chanel and MAC mascara. EVER. I would be one sad pup to ever see them pass. I would probably be devastated though, if mascara and lip gloss ceased to exist.
