Avon Stardust Nail Enamel Review & Swatches

I have a little bit of a glitter nail polish obsession. So, when Avon’s new Stardust Nail Enamel arrived I couldn’t wait to test it out. If you’re also a fan of sparkly nails, you’ll know that it’s hard to find polish that really shows up the way you want it too. Some are too sparse and are better used as a top coat and some take about ten coats to show up. But then you come across some that perform exactly the way you hoped they would or even better and such was the case with new Avon Stardust.

The lineup comes in Cherry Dazzler, Crystallized Pink, Jewel Blue, Silver Crystals and Black Sequins. Personally, I love them all but my favourites would have to be the light pink and black. The Black Sequins look like a star covered sky, and the Crystallized Pink looks like pixie dust. You only need two coats and your nails are fully covered. I also find that the colour lasts quite a while without fading or chipping.

Check out the swatches below and let me know if this is a collection you’ll be checking out!

Summer arrives this week and it’s the perfect time for bright, juicy nail shades. If our toes are going to be in the sand, grass or water, you can bet their going to painted a vibrant shade and the new Essie 2014 summer collection is helping us do just that. We recently reviewed the new lineup and if you’re looking for bold and bright, this is a great collection to check out.

“Urban Jungle” is described as an irresistible alabaster orchid, “”Fierce, no Fear” an intense cocoa mahogany, “Roarrrrange” is an unstoppable, bold orange, “Strut Your Stuff” is a compelling cobalt aqua, “Ruffles & Feathers” is a powerful peacock teal, and “Haute in the Heat” is an unforgettable hot raspberry.

“Haute in the Heat” is our personal favourite and we also love the mix of the off-white and chocolate brown. The green, blue and orange are cute if you’re looking to shake things up. What do you think? Which shade do you have your eye on?
