Priti NYC Bovey Bell Carnation is a bright pink jelly! I think it has the best formula of all the Priti NYC jellies I’ve tried so far. It’s not streaky and is opaque with two coats. It doesn’t dry super shiny like most jellies, but you can always remedy that with a topcoat.

Pictured above is two coats.

Priti NYC Dragon Tree is a brown jelly. This one is pretty opaque, but you can still see bits of squishyness around the edge of my nails. Pictured above is three coats. It dries nice and shiny without a topcoat.

Priti NYC is available for $12.50 per bottle from Spirit Beauty Lounge.

Disclaimer: this polish is really sheer and shows my naked & stained nails. Do not look if you don’t want to see it… As much as I hate it, I feel like I’d be doing people a disservice if I didn’t show just how much this polish doesn’t hide.

Revlon Sheer Seafoam… yeah. Talk about sheer. Hello, stained nails (courtesy of Booty Babe Mossy Bossy). Generally when polishes name their colors sheer something, it’s not that bad. This time, Revlon wasn’t kidding around. Sheer Seafoam is sheer. Which is lame. Look at that bottle color! It looks like such a pretty, squishy jelly. I think achieving that color is an impossible task. Pictured above is 5 or 6 coats. I can’t even remember which ’cause it was that many…

If you like sheer polishes, this is for you! If you don’t like sheer polishes, avoid at all costs!

SoFlaJo Enchantment is a duochrome topcoat from her Year of the Dragon collection. The colors in the topcoat vary with base color used. In this I used Sally Hansen Night Flight, which is a black creme. The predominant colors in Enchantment over a black creme are green/blue with little bits of holographic sparkle. Super pretty!

Pictured above is one coat. It applied evenly and smoothly, with no problems whatsoever!

SoFlaJo polishes are available from her website. Each full sized bottle retails for $10. Minis are $5.

Red Carpet Lacquer Colonel Mustard is a mustard yellow jelly with bits of copper and black glitter. I absolutely love this. It’s such an unusual and unique color. The jelly base is fairly opaque as well. I achieved a suitable opacity with two coats, which are shown above. The second coat really changed what the first coat looked like and I wish I had taken a photo of what it looked like. The second coat “muddied” a lot of the glitter bits you see above, so if you don’t like how many of the glitters look hidden in the yellow base, you could wear this on top of OPI The “IT” Color.

All in all though, I am very, very pleased with this funky and unique color. It has great opacity. It dries quickly. It’s not very gritty, nor is it a top coat eater.

Colonel Mustard is from Red Carpet Lacquer’s new collection, the Clue collection, inspired by the Clue game and movie. It has been ages since I’ve played the game, and I’ve never seen the movie, but this color really nails the mustard part.

This collection will be available on Friday, May 4th! Each color will retail for $8. “Like” Red Carpet Lacquer on Facebook for updates on when the collection will be live, and keep on checking her Etsy page.

Hand Cream Quest (HCQ) is a journey on which I embark to find the perfect hand cream… not too thick, not too light, not too greasy, not too dry, not too fragranced, and most importantly, incredibly moisturizing! I will judge based on price, packaging, texture, absorbance, scent, the Zoo Factor (a combination of all the above + staying power + working at a zoo), and Acetone Addict (does it moisturize after acetone usage?). 

If you feel that a product should be considered for my HCQ, please send me an email at paulina@thegoreprincess.com and I will add it to my to try/to buy list! To view other hand creams on my quest, click here!

Price: Zombie Momz Vicious Vanilla Cream retails for $6.25 including shipping on their Etsy page. Each jar contains 2 oz.

Packaging: This hand cream is packaged in a narrow jar. I’m not a fan of jars and hand cream because I always get it stuck under my nails and that’s kind of annoying. But that’s just me.

Texture & absorbance: This lotion is light and absorbs quickly.

Scent: The scent is very, very, very vanilla-y, almost to the point where it is overwhelming and overpowering.

Zoo Factor & Acetone Addict: Okay, so based on the name, I was so excited to try this. Zombies have dry, flaky skin. Mom[z] can have dry, flaky skin from doing mom things with their kids. The combination of the two should have equaled the best hand cream ever, right? Right? WRONG. I don’t know how, but this hand cream managed to make my hands drier than they were before I applied it.

Buy it again? No way, Jose. My hands are dry enough without needing to put hand cream on to make them drier.
