Bootie Babe Nail Polish Review, Swatches

Bootie Babe Nail Polish Blue Baboo, Bossy Mossy Review, Swatches

ABOUT BOOTIE BABE

Bootie Babe® is a new beauty and fashion brand developed by SuperBooty LLC.

In Oct of 2011 the company is proudly launching its first collection, a line of nail polish featuring cute and collectible bootie shaped bottles.

SuperBooty President and CEO Mark O’Hara wanted to create a humorous, bold and truely unique beauty product that would literally “stand out” from the competition.

O’Hara’s creative and business interests go beyond nail polish.
He states “My goal is to develop the Bootie Babe brand and manufacture a variety of products including cosmetics, apparel, accessories, gifts and jewelry.

SuperBooty LLC understands the need to market cosmetics that are safe, free of toxic ingredients and developed using cruelty-free testing procedures.

Bootie Babe lacquer formulations are developed specifically to be “California Safe”,  and do not include chemicals such as formaldehyde, toulene, and dibutyl-pthalate.

These mini booties cost 4$ each and the shipping is 6$ for upto 3 bottles..and increases..accordingly..so you can get 3 bottles at 18$ which is very decent enough..and the quantity in each is also 9ml which is pretty good..

First of all, is’nt the packaging super fun..my mom and granny were a little amazed though 😀 And anyone at first would be seeing a nail polish bottle of a bootie shape..

I love the cute packaging and the brush is nice too..only the formula is a too thick..and after one coat..it kind of goes gooey at times..and takes a lott of time to dry too..

I love the Blue Baboo shade..a pastel kind an egg blue..its quite flattering..and the formula of this is somehow better too..

Where as the Bossy Mossy is a moss green with a neon tinge..though I liked the shade at first..but the formula of this was kinda thicker..and then when I removed it..it stained my nails a greenish yellow !! And the stain just did not go..I so hated that..it stayed for a month or so..

See how it has smeared a little coz did not dry and even chipped a little on the index finger..

I loved the shade Blue Baboo and definitely recommend that..check out more shades here

Essie Nail Polish Fiji, Mint Candy Apple- Review, NOTD

Essie Nail Polish in Fiji and Mint Candy Apple

Guest Post by Sophia

When you’re choosing an outfit, you think about choosing the right shoes, jewellery or handbag but even more so lately having the right nail polish colour is essential! Now I have a number of different nail polishes from a variety of brands, but there are still some which I have yet to add to my collection and up until recently it was Essie nail polish.

About the product: Go girly and get glam with Essie Nail Polish – Fiji. It’s a lightweight polish with high-powered shine that not only strengthens nails, but imparts long-lasting, intense color.

MRP: £7.99  for .5 fl oz

Key Ingredients: Nitrocellulose strengthens nails while providing flawless texture. Mica adds a gentle shine to finished nails.

How to use it: Apply one to two coats of polish to dry, clean nails. Follow with a top coat for longer wear.

L-R: Mint Candy Apple, Fiji

Fiji, Mint Candy Apple

I picked up ‘Mint Candy Apple’(I’m just crazy about mint colours) and ‘Fiji’(for a more neutral tone).  ‘Mint Candy Apple’ is a fresh, mint green with a slight bluish hue. It is a little reminiscent of candy in some ways because of its pastel shade so the name is quite fitting. ‘Fiji’ is a very pale pink, verging on white which although looks simple it elongates the nails, making the hand slimmer and longer.

First of all I really like the packaging! I love the neat cube like bottles, with Essie embossed on 2 opposite sides of glass. It’s has a delicate ‘e’ groove on top of the lid too.

The nail lacquer is of a medium consistency, not too thick and not too runny which is ideal in my opinion! The application is really smooth and the brush is wide enough to cover the surface area of the nail in a few strokes. The colour is quite sheer after the first coat, but a second coat really finishes it off and by then it’s perfectly opaque. The polish is quite long lasting and I found it stayed put on my nails for at least a week before I noticed any signs of chipping.

Essie nail polish is slightly pricier than drugstore favourites such as Rimmel or Barry M, at around £7.99 but I certainly think they’re worth the money! There’s a gorgeous selection of colours to choose from, bold shades, pastels, glitters and more – it’s hard not to buy them all!

I am reviewing the shade 912 Crimson Red. I have already reviewed their previous Color Marvel Nail Paints here.
These have a slimmer and better packaging..I liked the bottle..and also the brush..it spreads evenly and faster. Also its dries fast.
Crimson Red is a true bridal red shade…I love such reds..Another similar one I like is Street Wear Bridal Red. But since I found this now..and its Acetone, DBP and toluene free..I am sticking onto this..and surely getting this for my red stock forever !
Pros:1. Its Acetone, DBP and Toluene free.
2. Did not chip for 6 days and then chipped a little at the tips.
3. The brush is nice…non messy, fuss free application in a minute.
4. The shade is opaque enough and just 2 coats are required.
5. Dries fast.
6. Economical at the price..as it offers 8ml.Cons:

1. Availability is a problem with Lotus Herbals Cosmetics.

No other cons. I am totally loving this shade, the opaqueness, does not chip for 6-7 days and Acetone, DBP and Toluene free. And the Crimson Red Shade ! I am totally getting this..and recommending for sure..
Rating:Quality: 4.5/5
Value for money: 5/5
Availability: 3.5/5

Overall rating: 4/5

Would I buy it again: Yes !
