    Hello heroines!

    I know some people have been looking for swatches of polishes on bloggers with relatively tanned skin so I attempted to swatch the pinks and reds in my stash in Singapore. It was supposed to be out on vday itself but well, I guess I'd other plans then. Like sleep, for example, seeing as to how I was swatching at 3am.

    These aren't all the pinks and reds I had, but I guess I just got really really tired. Ugh. The bane of having too many bottles of polishes. I hope these help though! I'm gonna keep swatching through my stash according to brands and collections.

    China Glaze Material Girl - Eye Candy 3D Glitters collection

    I loved how quickly Material Girl dried! And it was rather opaque too. This was two coats I think. And one thin layer of top coat because the polish dried gritty, as expected.

    Orly Retro Red - Plastix collection

    I bought the Plastix collection out of curiosity. They came in minis, which is a good size if you just wanna try something out. I loved how opaque each coat is but the only problem lies in application. The formula is slightly tricky to work with and requires heaps of concentration to make sure each coat is applied smoothly! This was two coats.

    Revlon Ruby Ribbon Matte Suede

    Revlon Ruby Ribbon Matte Suede with glossy Top Coat. Look at that gorgeous shimmer!!

    I loved Ruby Ribbon! From the hidden shimmer to the thick yet flowing formula. I love it all. The only problem would be the cleanup as the red polish does stain your skin. However, if you're looking for a good matte red polish that doesn't look flat, Ruby Ribbon is your baby!

    Kleancolor Metallic Pink

    Metallic Pink dried sooo ridiculously quickly! This was two coats, two easy, fuss-free, painless coats. I'll definitely use this polish when I'm in a rush. It was pretty funny actually. When I was swatching this, I remembered how everyone always talks about how badly Kleancolor stinks. I decided it couldn't possibly be that bad so I wanted to try. I inhaled majorly and nearly choked after. Never. Try. That. At. Home. Kids.

    China Glaze Poinsettia - Let It Snow Collection

    Don't you just love how glossy this is?! I didn't even put a top coat on this one because it was just sooo juicy. I mean, shiny. I love it! Two easy coats here. It might be my go-to red from now on.

     

    What do you think of this sneak peek into my stash so far? Many more to come, I promise.
