Love & Beauty- Grey

So this is another Forever 21 nail polish, which retails for $2.80. This is called Love & Beauty-Grey.

Although this color doesn't look it does in the bottle its still very pretty. Its a dark grey laced with gold/ olive shimmer. The consistency was totally different than the consistency of Love & Beauty-Olive, it was a lot thicker but in a good way. It went on perfectly in two thick coats and stayed on for 3+ days without chipping which is when I took it off so I'm sure it would have lasted longer also. 

Want to hear some exciting news? I was contacted by a beauty company asking me to review some of their eyelashes! Although my blog is not a 'beauty' blog (makeup/ clothes/ other beauty products) this is my first offer and I am just so excited a company is interested in my opinion so I agreed to do the review. If you guys like the review I may turn it into a once a month post other than nail polish tradition. How about that? Sound good?

Love & Beauty- Olive

Love & Beauty is Forever 21's nail polish line and the last time I was there I picked this up.  Although I love green, this olive tone is something WAYY out of my comfort zone because as you guys know I hate reds, pinks, olives etc and I've been trying to break out of that..which is why I got it haha. 

This is Love & Beauty- Olive


Sorry, I didn't really clean up too well..I did my nails in the dark haha. Anyways this polish was REALLY thin so this is only three coats and to be honest I wish I did a couple more.  I think Forever 21 got the name a little wrong, on the nail it comes out a little more like a dark gold/bronze.  Either way its a pretty color, definitely worth the $2.80 price tag!

Love & Beauty

Why hello everyone! Once again I'm procrastinating, I have a test on monday but I'm not studying until tomorrow hahah. College sucks, all I do is study, sleep, study and study. wahh.

Well w/e, today I'm showing you Forever 21 Love & Beauty Mint.

This polish looks exactly how it does in this picture so no need for more than one.  It is a very thick blueish green cream polish (more blue than green).  In the bottle it looks pretty white but on the nail you can see exactly what color it actually is.  The application was PERFECT and soo surprising for a polish that was only $2.80.  It went on thick but not clumpy at all, covered in practically one coat  (although here is 2).  Because it was so thick cleanup was a bit of a pain but i think it turned out good! I would definitely buy Love & Beauty brand again!

By the way, I have the weirdest shaped pointer finger nail. No matter what shape i file it in to or how much I clean it up on the sides its abnormally round. What is up with that? Oh and another addition: my cuticles are not that red...I'm not sure why they look like that but they are normal color in real life hahah

EDIT: Thanks to my sorority sister Nicole she reminded me of a color that is very dupey to this one.  As I'm sure many of you have already, its Essie Mint Candy Apple.

As you can tell mint candy apple is a little greener but it's still a pretty solid dupe. (It also depends on which formula you have of this polish, rumor has it that they changed the formula a while back). Does anybody have both of these polishes? Do you think they are dupey?
