I am more than pleased with this revamp of Sephora's nail polish
offerings. I was never super impressed by SOPI, so it's awesome to have
it replaced by a range so diverse and complete. They covered all their
bases. The first shade that caught my eye was a shimmer from the New
Classics collection.

Formula X Infinite is described as an aubergine pearl. I see it. It glows like nobody's business. Infinite's formula was just okay for me, but oh my goodness is it pigmented! Thinner will be necessary for the next time I wear this, so it will be interesting to see if it's still a one-coater when it's not as thick.





I popped a coat of Nfu.Oh 51 over Infinite, just to see what would happen to the color. Magic. That's what happened. 









Formula X Infinite retails for $10.50 and is available at Sephora.

Givenchy Fuchsia Irresistible is a vibrant pink with a touch of warmth. I wouldn't call it fuchsia because it's not cool toned at all. While this isn't the most unique color, the formula makes it a bit more special. I have yet to be disappointed by the formula of any Givenchy polishes. Wonderful! However, if you were going to pick one shade from this range, this would not be my recommendation.

Dior Galaxie is a warm plum packed with fine, pink shimmer. This was my pick for my first mani of Autumn, and it's been on ever since. The wear is awesome! The formula is also worth mentioning. Galaxie applied effortlessly, and it could definitely be a one-coater if applied carefully.



Dior 992 Galaxie retails for $24 and is available at Sephora.

Givenchy Croisiere Purple is a beautiful lavender creme. I like my purples to have no hint of pink, so this shade is right up my alley. The finish is super shiny, and the formula is absolutely flawless.



If you've been looking for some luscious cremes, definitely look into Givenchy. I haven't tried a bad one yet.



Givenchy Croisiere Purple retails for $20 and is available on Sephora.com.

Hard Candy Emerald's Eve,  Deborah Lippmann Shake Your Money Maker

The only noticeable difference between the two is that the teal glitter in the HC is more vibrant than the DL. The DL also has a blue-ish base, while the HC has a clear base. Over black, the difference is still slightly noticeable.



These two are not dupes, but they will probably be close enough for most people, especially considering the price difference. I actually like Emerald's Eve more. The formulas are comparable - both thick and packed with glitter.



Hardy Candy Emerald's Eve (7.8 ml) retails for $4 and is available on Walmart.com. It's probably in-store too, but save yourself the headache and just order it online.



Deborah Lippmann Shake Your Money Maker (15 ml) retails for $19 and is available at Sephora and Ulta.
