Hello girls :)

Today I have here the whole Dr.'s Remedy Jolly & Joy collection for holiday 2011. Collection consists of five "rich, riveting and radiant shades". The colours are traditional Christmas colours but not the classic shades you'd expect.

REVIVE Ruby Red - dark red wine shimmery colour. Formula of this polish was really great! It applied easily, wasn't runny or thick and pigmentation is almost perfect. I've used two coats but even one coat almost enough...but you know me, I go for the perfection ;) This polish had very thin brush, almost like OPI minis, which I didn't really understand why - other polishes had the good thicker brush.  It dried fast and removal was good.

ESSENTIAL Emerald - light-ish green colour with tiny silver particles. Pigmentation was again good, I've used two coats for a full coverage. Drying time was average and I didn't find any troubles when removing it. It didn't colour my cuticles or anything like that.

SERENE Silver Glitter - silver, blue and red glitter. Tiny glitter particles creates almost foil-like finish, really nice festive polish. I just don't want to repeat myself but great pigmentation again - I've used two coats and one layer of topcoat to smooth the finish. Removal was very difficult so definitely soak your nails a bit or use the foil technique.

RESOLUTION Red Glitter - pink and silver glitter. I don't know where this name came from, I really don't :) IT IS NOT A RED GLITTER :D The finish is again foil-like, very sparkly and almost metallic. I needed two coats for a full coverage and then one layer of topcoat to smooth it out. Drying was time average and removal very difficult. Soak, soak, soak!

PASSION Purple - boysenberry purple with rose-pink shimmer. Dr.'s Remedy describes this shade as boysenberry colour-I had to Google it as I've never heard of boysenberry :) But it's a very nice purple with subtle rose-pink shimmer. Pigmentation is good in one thicker coat but I've used two to make it perfect. Finish is smooth and shiny and polish dries fast. Removal was easy and without problems.

Hi girls :)

I finally swatched the whole Muppets collection :) Today is the summary of all the glitters. You can have a look at the Part 1: Colours if you haven't seen it already.

All the glitters except Excuse Moi! were exactly the same only differed in colour. They are great for layering, in fact they look much better layered over another colour. All the swatches here (except Excuse Moi!) are over Color Club Black.

Getting’ Miss Piggy With It - small red hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. Again I've used one coat of glitter and one coats of topcoat. It dries fast and you better use the fiol technique to remove it. This combo reminds me of Deborah Lippmann Ruby Red Slippers polish except in DL polish are all glitters red, no silver ones. I personally like this mani with Getting’ Miss Piggy With It better...and it's chaper ;)

Fresh Frog of Bel Air - small green hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. I've applied one coat of glitter and one coats of topcoat. There's not much more to say about this glitter, only that it dries fast and looks good :)

Gone Gonzo! - small light blue hexagonal glitter mixed with large silver hexagonal glitter in a clear base. It has exactly the same formula as other glitters in this collection - dries fast, it's tough to remove and applies good. This one reminds me Revlon Blue Mosaic except it doesn't contain green glitter.

Rainbow Connection - different size and colour glitters in a clear base. This is a great layering polish. I don't like it by itself, it looks like circus on the nails or confetti, just too much. But like this over black or white it looks quite nice :)

Divine Swine - purple and silver glitter in a clear base. The purple glitter is ordinary small glitter, the silver glitter is bigger hexagonal glitter. It dried fast which is always great. It really reminds me of polishes like Revlon Facets of Fuchsia and Deborah Lippmann Bad Romance.

Excuse Moi! - beautiful dark pink jelly with different size and colour glitters. There's so many colours that I'm not going to write them all :D I've applied two thicker coats and you can see the coverage in the pictures. I think it's pretty good for a glitter and jelly :) It dried reasonably fast. As most glitters, I had to use a layer of topcoat to make it nice and smooth. This polish is really adorable and I like it the most from all the glitters in the collection :)
