Clinique A Different Nail Enamel For Sensitive Skins, Swatches and Review

*Press Sample
 
Hello hello,
 
I am so excited to share with you guys A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins by Clinique!  Clinique is dermatologically tested and 100% fragrance free.  They designed the polish to minimize unwanted reactions to the nails, skin and eyes.  Apparently, the chemicals in some polish can cause a skin rash around your eyes.  Did ya'll know that on average, a person touches their eyes 200 times a day?  Yikes! 
 
A rainbow of twelve new shades make up the permanent collection, and there are limited edtition shades as well!  Today I am showing you six of the 12 permanent polishes.
 
First up is my favorite of the six, Really Rio.  Really Rio is a gorgeous coral cream, this color is so hot this season!  Application was creamy and smooth, this was three very thin coats.


Happy Heart is a gorgeous, bright pink leaning coral cream.  This is a really unique color to add to your collection, I don't have anything like Happy Heart.  Two coats was all I needed for perfect coverage.
 
 
 
Red Red Red is one of Cliniques most beloved lipsticks, and now you can wear this classic red on your nails.  Red Red Red is a cream-jelly hybrid, I used three coats here and still had a little bit of visible nail line. 
 

 
Fizzy is a pretty, vintage pink frost that glided on like butter!  Two thin coats were all I needed.  I really love this shimmery neutral.
 

Black Honey!  This vampy burgundy is so sexy!   Black honey is another iconic Clinique lipstick that you can now wear on your nails.  This was so pigmented that it was almost a one-coater.  I can see this being my go-to dark shade.
 


Sweet Tooth is a very very light pink jelly.  I actually used four coats for this swatch because I have a bit of staining on my nails (the only downside of a nail blogger!)  Most people would only need two coats of this gorgeous barely-there pink.
 

 
Clinique also has a base and top coat in one that is meant to be worn with all the shades.  I wore the base and top coat with Happy Heart and it lasted 5 days without one single chip!
 
The thin, flat brush makes application really easy.  It actually may be the perfect brush in my opinion!  Not too skinny or wide, just perfect.  I was also impressed by how quickly these polishes dry.
 
 
 
Next I'll be swatching four of the limited edition Summer shades.  Stay tuned friends!

Black Glitter Skittles

Hiya
 
I have been loving the swatches of Illamasqua Speckled everywhere lately!  I don't have access to this brand nearby, so I imitated it with the polishes that I had on hand. 
 
The black glitter is L.A. Girl Glitter Addict Uninhibited.  Uninhibited has tiny black glitter and medium sized black hex glitter.  It is super jam packed with the glitters, so i had to dab it on rather than swipe.
 
Each nail has a base color, one coat of glitter and then they all have a coat of OPI Don't Touch My Tutu over top.  On my pointer is Revlon Dreamer. Middle finger is Sinful Colors Sweet Tooth. Ring finger is OPI My Very First Knockwurst, and my pinky is Color Club Blue-ming.
 
 
I was so excited when I saw this next polish by Love & Beauty (Forever 21) but once it was on, I didn't really love it.  Rose/Red (such a dull name) felt very chunky on my nails.  My base coat is Zoya Dita, and while this IS a gorgeous pink, I think I should have used a different color.  Rose/Red has a lot of different glitters going on!  It has lots of multi-sized irridescent shards, small silver glitter, red square glitters and large red hearts.
