The Dr.'s REMEDY holiday 2011 Jolly & Joy collection includes: REVIVE Ruby Red, PASSION Purple, ESSENTIAL Emerald, SERENE Silver Glitter, and RESOLUTION Red Glitter. They are all shimmers with the exception of the two glitters, SERENE and RESOLUTION, of course.
I love these glitters, I thought they were foils at first but they are just packed full of fine glitters. These swatches are with ONE coat! I love it! They also were not hard to remove either, which is awesome!
SERENE Silver Glitter, my favorite of this collection, is a super packed with fine silver glitter and flecks of red and NOT GREEN but light blue glitter! I totally thought they were green at first. Dr.'s REMEDY describes it as A seasonal sizzler like no other; shine, chic, totally unique in the metallic scene. Honestly, I can't say I have a glitter like this... other than maybe the foil, Designer... de Better, from the OPI Muppets collection. I totally have this on my toes right now, I wanted to keep wearing it!
The other glitter, RESOLUTION Red Glitter, is totally NOT a red glitter! It is definitely PINK! I still like it though... it's a super packed fine (like SERENE) pink glitter, same color I'd say as OPI Teenage Dream (beautiful pink). Dr.'s REMEDY describes it as A red-meets-copper spin that's sequin-look-alike with high-shine and sparkle. It's pink, but yeah it DEFINITELY shines and sparkles!
Overall the two glitters were GREAT in application... seriously only one coat but I tend to apply glitters a little thick, but even with a thin coats... two coats max. These pictures are with no topcoat.
Of the three shimmers... check out this red!
REVIVE Ruby Red, is a gorgeous vampy red. I insanely LOVE when a polish is light in the center and the sides look dark, I think that is gorgeous, and this polish does that! Dr.'s REMEDY describes it as A shimmer infused, Wizard of Oz-inspired shade of crimson. Such a rich beautiful deep dark shimmery red... ahhh drooling over here! The only problem I had with this one was the brush... my brush was the size of a toothpick! I had to use my nail art brush but it was worth it. I do want to mention that Dr.'s REMEDY is aware of the brush issue and is working on getting that fixed with the manufacturer. I actually think it will be great for doing the kids nails and art!
See what I mean?! Bright bold middle and dark on the sides! This is totally on my list of polishes that remind me of Snow White, this looks like the apple! Oh or maybe the Twilight book cover apple? Gorgeous!
These pictures are with no top coat. This is 2-3 coats of polish.
PASSION Purple, my other favorite of the shimmers, is a gorgeous.. well, boysenberry purple! Dr.'s REMEDY calls it a bombshell-boysenberry with subtle silver meshed throughout. Spot on! This is a gorgeous purple with silver shimmer. I'm actually still wearing this one I really like it and it finishes very shiny.
The formula for this one is great to work with also.
These pictures are with no top coat. Three coats of polish.
ESSENTIAL Emerald, the last shimmer in the collection, is actually very pretty on the nail! I was deceived by the bottle it didn't look very shimmery and just a plain color. It reminds me of this cute little lizard the kids I babysat as a teenager had, I think it was an Anole?! Anyway, Dr.'s REMEDY describes it, A take on the classic tree-and-plant-inspired gem of a shade, with delicate glimmer and unparalleled amounts of glamour. It is for sure an emerald green, a very light shimmery one. One thing I didn't like is that the formula is kind of wonky it either dried too tacky or too fast and I had to add another layer of polish for touch-up.
I also wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow is the last day for the special HOLIDAY code offer at Dr.'s REMEDY...

To my readers... I am so so so so sorry I have been away! My poor baby girl is hurting something fierce from teething!
(what's that you say? Pictures or it didn't happen?)
Poor baby and her little white puffy gums!!! She has been captive of my complete attention the past few days since there have been fevers and sleepless nights for the whole house! I am back now and have been polishing away and found some great untrieds to show off!

ReplyDeleteAwwww I'm so sorry about your baby girl. I went threw hell when my son was teething. No fever for him but a lot of crankiness and he was so uncomfortable. He didn't even wanted me to touch him!
