MOST OF THEM are good. :)

I've built up my collection of these Xtreme wear polishes over the past month -I now have Sun Kissed, Mint Sorbet, Celeb City, The Real Teal, Disco Ball, and Posh Plum. :) I'll do each individual polish seperately, since the quality varies SO MUCH! Let's start.

Sun Kissed (yellow-orange): I got this about a month ago and i was really disappointed. :( I thought it would be a nice polish, but it ended up taking FOREVER to dry (over 15 minutes before i could kind of touch it even a bit) and it's one of those polishes that never really dries. It's kind of hard to explain, but i went to sleep with it on after about an hour, and the next day i touched it a little hard and it just got ruined. It's also very sheer. So that was a waste of my 3 bucks :( * 1/5

Celeb City(glittery silver): Pretty good. My friend got this for me on my birthday and it's super glittery, shiny and just gorgeous. However, it has the same problem as Sun Kissed, just much less extreme. It takes 10 minutes to dry, but after that you can't touch it hard for about 2 hours. After that, though, it's perfect and really glittery. It only lasted 1 day before it started peeling off, though. However, it's super opaque in only a single coat! *** 3.5/5

Mint Sorbet(true mint pastel green- no blue undertones): I saw it for only 2 bucks at Target, so I had to get it because of the Mint nails trend. It ended up being really good! Dries in about 5 minutes, all the way in 15. I use it sooo much! It's opaque in one coat and lasted me 3 full days before I began to bite at it (a bad habit of mine.) It's my favorite! :) ***** 5/5

Disco Ball(clear polish with lots of little glitters in it in all different colors): I got this at the same time that I got the Mint Sorbet. Gorgeous glitter polish! the glitters are really saturated and nice. I usually use it as an accent nail, and you get almost your entire nail completely covered in glitter in 3 coats. That's AMAZING for a glitter polish! This is great. ***** 5/5

The Real Teal(shimmery Teal): I saw a deal for 2 for 4 at Walgreens and spent quite a while picking the polishes out - they were all gorgeous! I got this and painted it on my toes to the beach one day, and the pool the 2 following days- all I got was a tiny chip on my big toe. UHH, THAT'S AMAZING! It dries really quick, too. You do need 3 coats for total opacity, though. It's still really longwearing and great. :) **** 4.5/5

Posh Plum(not really plum. hahaha, it's a deep raspberry color, but definately NOT plum) The last one! 2 for 4 at walgreens. It's shimmery and gorgeous, and looks really nice on the fingernails. This one does take longer to dry and needs 2 coats, but overall it's amazing and gorgeous, and lasted 2 days with absolutely NO chipping before I removed it! :) that's good. **** 4.5/5

overall, great inexpensive line of polishes that ranges from 2 to 3 dollars. I would repurchase most of these! :)

sorry for blowing up the page, hahaha.

NEEOOONNN PINK!

OH MY GOSH, I am in love with this neon pink! I got it about a week ago and I have used it twice. It's a super bright, matte, pigmented, NEON pink. :) I used it for daytime, but you need a verrrrryyyy light hand- it's super pigmented, and with the color, you WILL end up looking like a clown. Hahaha. :) Overall, my favorite blush EVER- you can use it year round. :)

I really like it! :)

SO, I got this about a week ago and I have been using it a lot. Although I do think that both the blush and bronzer are too shimmery, the colors are gorgeous. I happened to take it to the mall the other day and compared it to laguna and nars, and there's really no point of comparison. The blush does become gold in the light, but not nearly as easily as orgasm. Also, it's much less peachy and more pinkish-mauve. The bronzer I do like A LOT more than Laguna - Laguna is REALLY orange, and they have the exact same pigmentation, but the bronzer in the ELF duo is much more brown and natural-looking, even though it's shimmery it's great for nighttime, and with a light hand, wearable for daytime as well. :) Overall, I really like it and will probably be purchasing it again when I run out - probably not soon because there's so much product in there!

I FEEL STUPID. haha

This was given to me for my birthday in the color "Vintage Violet", a very nice purple that looks blue in the light, which is gorgeous. For the LONGEST TIME I thought it didn't crackle because I always put it on top of my bare nail thinking it would crackle by itself. Hahaha. But it's really thick and hard to put on. It still works and looks really nice as an accent nail, like I have it on at the moment. :) HINT: do a thin coat for lots of thin little spider-web like crackles, and a thicker coat for big, thick, spreaded-out crackles. :) overall, I would buy other colors, but it's not like amazing. I want to try the China Glaze one, though. :) BTW, I GIVE IT 4 STARS, NOT 2!! IT WON'T CHANGE. :(

AMAZING for the price!

I saw these for 84 cents at Target and what could I say? I couldn't resist. I got a black, pink, and tangerine creme finish, and a blue and purple frost finish. WOW. The black was nicer than the sephora by OPI one and was opaque after a couple of coats, the pink is bright and gorgeousand also opaque in 2 coats, and the tangerine color is my FAVORITE for summer and doesn't even need more than one coat for me. All of the creme finishes were very nice and I've worn them all at least twice. I loved the consistancy, not too thick but not watery. I can say, however, that none of them lasted me more that a couple of days, probably 3 at the most. I guess that if I had used a top coat it would have lasted longer. Next are the frost finishes. I got a blue that duochromed with green and a purple that duochromed with blue. These both look VERY nice in the sun and are really pretty. I haven't used the blue on all of my nails, just my ring finger accent nail, and it looked nice with a light-medium green shade. it did start to chip on the second day around the edges, but it was okay because I just repainted the 2 accent nails. The purple is really pretty! I can't tell you about the longwearing-ness of it because I removed it the next day and I only wore it once to the mall and a stranger complimented me on it. :) both of them are pretty sheer, and if you want legitimate opaque-ness, you need 3 or 4 coats. I didnt, though, because they look very nice when they're kind of sheer, especially over another color that it duo-chromes with. All in all, very nice colors, and I got all of these for well under 5 dollars! I would DEFINATELY reccomend it, and I think this line is comarable to opaque Essies.

great liner brush. :)

I got this a few years ago from my mom and I really love it. I use it to line my bottom lashline and I get it wet for a nice liner effect. :) I really love this and I use it on a daily basis. It has lasted my and my mom over 4 years!

pretty great!

It works. I bought it because I didn't want to use up all of my at-home brazilian keratin, but it does do something. It smells JUST like coconut and does make your hair noticably softer and a little bit shinier. :) EDIT: THIS IS ACTUALLY PRETTY AMAZING. I went to the pool recently with my friend, and I happened to take this with me. WOW. You know how rough and dull your hair looks after you're in the pool with all that chlorine? Yeah, this takes it allllll away. It makes it SO soft and shiny, even after you damage your hair with pool water. NEVER forget to take this to the pool!

Hit or Miss.

I have this in 7 colors: silver, teal, dark blue, baby pink, taupe, mauve, and scented grape. Teal, Dark blue, and Baby pink are all very thick and still need multiple coats for opacity. The rest are all the perfect nail polishes, and the gold shimmer (taupe) is a great consistancy sheer color but i think it was meant to be really sheer. It's definately my favorite. I would reccomend most of these!

Princess in Training. :)

This smells amazing! Like a mix of vannila and orange. It's not too sticky and you can reapply about once every 2 hours, it's not super longwearing, but it's acceptable. I wear it on top of my orange lipstick to give it some shine and it looks great. :)

pretty.

I used this for a smoky eye look on my sister for my sister's prom and the pigmentation is good. The white color is too powdery and the silver is hard to get out. The black is an amazing dupe for the new black by lancome. :)
