Covergirl Outlast Stay Brilliant Polish Swatch: Goldilocks

Covergirl Goldilocks (2 coats)

Hi guys, I hope your Monday wasn't too manic. We had an unexpected winter storm here in North Carolina so classes closed early and I had to go home. That was good, but I had an appointment today that I had to reschedule which was a hassle.

I don't really get Covergirl polishes very often, but when I saw Goldilocks in the store, I thought it looked similar to Rescue Beauty Lounge's new polish, Footpath. While they aren't dupes (I don't even have it to compare, but I can tell from pictures), I'm not about to shell out $20 for a color that is close enough for me. Goldilocks is a mustard/taxicab/yellow creme. I think this is one of those colors that is so ugly that it's pretty. This is in the permanent line, so you shouldn't have a hard time finding it, and the price will depend on where you pick it up. I was actually really happy with the application, despite it being a yellow, and it only needed 2 coats! This is a smaller bottle at 0.37 fl oz instead of the normal 0.5 fl oz so keep that in mind. What do you think?

Cover Girl + Hunger Games Catching Fire Glosstini Collection Swatches: Scalding Emerald and Violet Flicker

Cover Girl Scalding Emerald (3 coats)

Cover Girl Violet Flicker (3 coats)

Today I'm going to go watch Catching Fire with my parents so I thought showing my 2 Cover Girl Hunger Games swatches would be appropriate. I could only find these at Target, but I'm not sure if they're exclusive to them or not. Up first is Scalding Emerald which is a murky green color with most colors of the rainbow without it being a holographic polish if you know what I mean. I love it! Sometimes it was just hard to see what color this really was. These are tiny bottles with short brushes which I don't love, but it wasn't a deal breaker for me. These hold only 0.11 fl oz and were $2.99. 

The second swatch is called Violet Flicker which is a plum color with blue and pink shimmer. I didn't find this one to be quite as unique, but it was still really fun in the bottle. These were both a bit sheer and needed 3 thick coats, and you can still see a little bit of nail at the ends. Surprisingly the removal was pretty painless and didn't need the foil method. Overall, these were pretty, and if you can find them, pick them up because they are cheap and won't take up space. Well, that's why I picked them up.
