Bobbi Brown Scotch Shimmer Nail Polish ($15.00 for 0.37 fl. oz.) is described as a “glittery copper.” It’s a brilliant, brightened copper-orange with warm golden-copper and darker copper micro-glitter and shimmer. Rescue Beauty Lounge NailsandNoms (LE, $20.00) is less shimmery. Zoya Amy (P, $9.00) is much darker, redder. Zoya Beatrix (P, $9.00) is lighter, more glittery. Zoya Tanzy (P, $9.00) is darker, more orange/red. See comparison swatches / view dupes.

I love how fine the shimmer and glitter is, because it seems to catch the light particularly well and give it an extra bit o’ sparkle. I wish it had a little more coverage, as it seemed slightly translucent after two coats. The consistency wasn’t too thick or too thin, and it seemed to dry faster than the average polish, but it still dried down to a shiny finish (I was expecting something more foil-like based on drying time). I get a week of wear out of Bobbi Brown’s polish formula, which is normal for me, with minor tip wear and no chipping (no base or top coat used).

Beauteous! The classy coloring reminds of delicious butterscotch. Too bad I’m not too interested in getting it right now. I’m having too much fun with my Dior nail polish…lol! Maybe next year. But at least it looks impeccable on you, Christine.

Hi Christine! Your site isn’t letting me log in for some reason. Anyway, I wanted to tell you I really admire the amount of work you put into this blog. Sometimes it’s a struggle for me to post even once a week, and I see Temptalia with a few posts a day. I know that must take so much work, so thank you for all you do!

No error message, it just won’t do anything when I type in my info and click, “log in.” It stays on that page and won’t budge. Maybe it’s just on my end 🙂
