Hello lovelies,

Nicole by OPI came up with another gorgeous collection celebrating TV show Modern Family. I must admit I haven't heard of this show until I first saw a press release for this collection...but then again I'm not American so I hope I can be excused :) Anyway let's get back to the polish beauties...

Collection consists of 14 shades of different shades and finishes, all having names tied to the Modern Family characters.

Hayley Good Lokin'... - small rose pink glitter with bigger pink holo hexagon glitters in a clear base. Glitter has good density, there's quite a lot of it in the bottle but it's easier to layer it rather than apply it by itself. The application was a bit harder as the formula is slightly thicker. I'm wearing just one coat over Am I Making Myself Claire?.

Am I Making Myself Claire? - pale dusty lavender creme. This little beauty has an excellent pigmentation! It is almost one coater but those of you with long nails will be better off with two coats. It applies easily as a butter and dries fast.

My Jay Or The Highway! - dirty taupe creme. It's quite unusual and not very girly colour but I would like it in an Autumn palette. It applied well and dried fast despite runny formula. I needed two coats for full coverage. No topcoat in the pictures.

Stand By Your Manny - medium blue with silver shimmer. I've had quite a trouble with this polish. The formula is runny and sheer and drying time is longer - average. I needed three coats for full coverage.

Alex By The Books - pale mint creme. Such a pretty shade! Not too pastel yet not too dark. The formula on this one wasn't flawless either - it creates patches when going over with the brush more than once. I needed two thicker coats for full coverage. It dries glossy and in an average time.

A Like-Haley Story - bright neon pink with magenta shimmer. I'm so angry at my camera that it doesn't show the true colour. In real life the shade is bright, rich and neon, absolutely perfect for summer. It has great well-pigmented formula that applies easily. The shimmer also shows nicely on the nail.

A Phil’s Paradise - foil greyish olive green. This shade is very similar to OPI Number One Nemesis, they are almost dupes. It applies well and dries fast and is slightly streaky. I'm wearing two regular coats. 

Back In My Gloria Days... - red based purple with shimmery particles. Oh how gorgeous this purple is! It's so much nicer in real life! I'm wearing two coats but I feel three would be better for my long nails. It applied easily and dried fast and I'm wearing topcoat.

Basking In Gloria - rich red berry shimmer with bigger sparkle particles. My second favourite, this is a real stunner! I just love this colour, in fact I want a car in this exact colour! :D I needed two thicker coats for full coverage. It applied well but the formula was little bit runny. The drying time was good.

Candid Cameron - green-blue duochrome metallic. Another beautiful shade reminding me of mermaid-like colours. The duochrome effect is not that strong on the nails but it does show a little in certain lighting. It has an excellent pigmentation, I'm wearing two coats that dried fast. It applied well however the finish is streaky so I had to pay attention to brushstrokes.

I Do De-Claire! - medium/light pink with pearl finish. I really don't like this polish. It's not the colour it's the finish. It's very streaky which shows every small imperfection. It applied well and it has good pigmentation as I needed just two thicker coats.  

She’s Lily Something - pink and blue glass flecks in a clear base with pink star glitter. This is a glitter topcoat that is meant to be layered so I have applied it over I Do De-Claire! There is plenty of the glass flecks but not enough of the star glitter. I had to fish them out and place them on the nail carefully. They are quite big so sometimes they stick out. It applied well. 

What’s The Mitch-uation? - dark indigo metallic shimmer. It looks very similar to OPI Into the Night from the Amazing Spiderman collection but it has slightly better formula. It applied easily but the finish is streaky. As with the OPI polish, this one also has lower pigmentation and I needed three coats for full coverage. Two coates weren't quite enough but could do if you have short nails. The polish dries slower.

What a collection! I have my favourites in there, I love especially the dark rich shades. I really like that there is a wide range of finishes but I would prefer if he formulas would be consistently good. I'm sure everybody will find at least one shade they'll like since there's 14 of them in this collection. Enough said, I'm happy I could try these polishes, some of them are absolutely gorgeous and you can look forward to nail art posts with them!

Hello lovelies,

Today post is going to be picture heavy! I have here seven 2true polishes that I want to show you. This is the first time I've tried this brand. I guess I'm a bit spoiled in my nail polish choices so I haven't even thought about purchasing this brand in the local drugstore. Well if you want to know what I think about them, continue to read...

Shade 12 Fast Dry Colour Quick - creme taupe colour. I always found taupe colours very elegant and office friendly so I like this shade very much. It applies very nicely, dries glossy and has good pigmentation. I'm wearing two coats and no topcoat. I find the polish to have quite long drying time without fast-drying topcoat.

Shade 13 Fast Dry Colour Quick - grey creme leaning towards blue undertones. Formula of this polish is good as it applies nicely and the polish levels itself out on the nail. I'm wearing two coats which are enough for perfect coverage. Drying time of this polish without topcoat was average and removal is easy.

Shade 7 Crystal Nail Polish - brown foil with pink undertones. I've found that the polish has blue and orange particles in it making it quite interesting shade. It applies easily and the pigmentation is good - I got away with two coats. On the other hand removal was bit of a pain. The foil particles got stuck to my skin so I had to spend more time removing them.

Shade 8 Crystal Nail Polish - plum purple with blue foil flecks. It has quite good formula that dries fast. I'm wearing two slightly thicker coats which were enough for a full coverage. I've had the same problem with removal like with Shade 7 - the foil particles stick to the skin very easily and it's hard work to get rid of them. On the plus side this polish doesn't stink like I've experienced with similar shades (Zoya Fei Fei and OPI Her Majesty's Secret Service)

Shade 9 Crystal Nail Polish - dark bronze foil. It's a very pretty brown/bronze shade with gold particles that nicely lighten up the polish. It has exactly the same formula as the previous two shades so no major problems.

Shade 1 Glitterati line - silver hex glitters in a light blue jelly base. In addition, the jelly base has fine glitter in it so it livens the polish nicely. I have applied one coat of Shade 2 over Mohda Atirada. It slightly darkened the shade of the Mohda polish. It is not pigmented enough to be worn by itself but it's good for layering. The drying time was average and removal was quite easy.

Shade 2 Glitterati line - silver and gold hex glitter in a pink jelly base. Again, the jelly base has fine glitter which looks really nice. It's also much better for layering as it would take like four or five coats for full coverage if applied alone. I am wearing one coat over Mohda Amor. It has good amount of glitter which is also a bit harder to remove.

The formulas of each nail polish line varied but generally they were on the drugstore brand nail polish level. I would rank them 7 out of 10 mostly because of slower drying and because I had to apply thicker coats to get full opacity. If you're on budget and simply don't want to spend your money on OPI or Nails Inc. I think you will be quite happy with these. I've noticed some really nice shades in the 2true range so I might be purchasing some others myself.

2true nail polishes can be purchased at Superdrug in-store or online for £1.99 or 3 for £4.99. Each bottle has 7ml and the brush is quite good, easy to work with.

So what do you think?
