Rococo Sheer Gloss Collection Swatches, Review & Nail Art

Whew! Today has been a whirlwind of trying to keep everything straightened out from the giveaway announcement yesterday! The feedback so far has been incredible, and I'm so happy you're all enjoying the opportunity. I'm thankful for you, and that's just a small way for me to show it. If you haven't entered already, be sure to check out the giveaway, worth over $200 here.

Tonight I'm getting festive with nail art! I've reviewed and thoroughly enjoyed Rococo polishes before here, and tonight, I'm showing you two sheer gloss colors. I liked the sheer look of them, and it inspired me to try out another plaid look. If you're looking for a tutorial for plaid, I have one here.

I was also inspried by a Japanese nail art book I picked up from Born Pretty Store.

In addition to Once Bitten (reviewed below after the jump), I used Goldie (Zoya) and OPI Jade is the New Black. The base is Marshmallow (essie), which is included in the giveaway I'm holding!

Now let's review these two gorgeous sheer polishes!


The first color is a red jelly, that's intentionally sheer, called Once Bitten. Even though this formula is sheer, it builds absolutely perfectly. Shown here is just two coats!

You can see that it's super shiny, which is a result of its sheer properties. I'm mad about this one, and it's the perfect squishy jelly for Christmas!

The other sheer is Poison, which is a little bit more patchy, but still pretty perfect. It reminds me of grape jelly.

These Rococo sheers are available for purchase from Space.NK here for $16.50, and if you can afford that price tag, you won't regret it. You get what you pay for, and here, you're paying for an incredible formula, which is unbeatable in the world of nail polish.

ROCOCO Mod's & Muses Collection Swatches & Review

No new news on the flood situation from my perspective. Which is good news!

More good news is that I have nail art and swatches to show you.

ROCOCO nail lacquer released a line of four 60's-inspired shades in their new collection, Mods & Muses.

Rock your nails this summer with the newest shades from ROCOCO. Inspired by the iconic styles of the 60's, ROCOCO's "Mods & Muses" collection draws on bright and bold shades reviving the statement hues of this groovy decade for a flower power collection.

60's style huh? Well more flower power to them! Here's the nail art to go with it!

Besides the base, which is OPI My Vampire is Buff, the colors are all from this collection, the first of which is Flower Child.

Flower Child is a lovely pale yellow creme. It's somewhat difficult to work with. I'm coming to terms with the fact that most, if not all yellows, are like that. Ugh. This yellow took 3 patient coats.

Bombshell is a dark but bright magenta. It's a quality I can't really describe, in that it's bright on the nail, but it's not exactly a bright color. I used 2 easy coats for this.

Flashback is another creme (they all are) that counts as coral, but is much more orange than the pink. This requires 2-3 coats, 3 if you're impatient like me.

The last color is called Kitsch, and it's a mint creme. It's the exact color of mint ice cream, which makes me almost as happy as mint ice cream does. Just like Flashback, it's a 2-3 coat polish that requires patience.

Overall, these polishes are great! The collection is cohesive and the cremes make me giddy.

You can buy these polishes at spacenk.com for $16.50 each. Pricey, yes. They're also available at select Bloomingdales. You can spot them in these precious boxes:
