Love the Color; Still Testing Duration

So when you try something new, it is advisable to try one color. I couldn't make up my mind, so in addition to Oxblood, I bought Nightfall and Slate. Well, I'm wearing the Oxblood - which is to die for. The color goes on rich and beautiful. I waited a day between adding the second coat and glass top coat. The tips have started to chip a wee bit, but I like to separate the first and second coats they they can dry. And did I say the color is amazing???

First Take, OK But Not Great

I have just started using the RGB polishes as I love the 5 free formula. I purchased the box of RGB Remover Pads and used them for the first time yesterday. I found the pad to be both drier, and smaller, than expected. I followed the directions (apply, set, remove, rinse) which was a bit challenging as the remover pad was quite dry. As promised, I was able to get the polish off of my nails with one pad - although I did have to use some regular acetone to get the polish off of the fingers. I'm hoping that the packet is just dry, and that others will work better. Being in packets makes it very convenient to travel with the product.

The BEST mascara I have used

After using the same mascara brand for several years, I became dissatisfied at the clumping and lack of volume - even with brush wiping and regular product replacement. Through sample programs, I was able to try at least 8 different brands - from Clinique to Dior to Buxom to Benefit and more. My goal was to find a black mascara, rich in pigment with a brush that would apply product without clumping on upper and lower lashes. I had heard of Kevyn Aucoin's brand, and I bought the product once it came back into stock. It is amazing. The product is rich in pigment so very dark. The brush is thin and uses a unique method for coating the lashes, which not only prevents clumping, but also allows easy application to upper and lower lashes. The product creates volume, but does not create the look of false lashes or brittle extensions. It enhances what you have to the fullest degree - which is just what I wanted.
