Nire's Desire: Yoga Trio

Press Sample

I tried yoga once and well, the polish is much more fun and pretty! :) The Yoga trio from Nire's Desire is a beautifully done shifting set in colors that everyone could love.



Pranayama's most prominent color is a very vibrant kelly green that shifts to golden green, a sort of an army green/brown and in some lights, a dark blue. It was really difficult to capture this one since it is a bit more subtle than the other two. Formula was smooth and opaque in two coats. It has a fine brushed metallic finish but with how this shifts it's not that noticeable in person.






I thought for sure that Namaste would be my favorite of the three just by the looks of it in the bottle. I'm a purple and blue junkie and this one feeds the need with its shifty ways! So mysteriously beautiful! I wore two easy coats for opacity and this one also has the brushed metallic finish with a strong shift.





Prana was saved for last because for me, it was a total surprise and I wanted to surprise you too! I can't recall the last time I reached for a red polish... It seems like at least a year, if not more. But this one. This red to purple shift has totally won me over. I'd reach for this a hundred times and still love it just as much if not more! Its super squishy looking, the shimmer gives it a depth that I don't think I've ever seen in a polish and the shift is, quite simply, amazing.

Nire's Desire: Techno Collection -Phase Two

Press Sample

Erin from Nire's Desire sent three of the six polishes from her Phase Two of the Techno Collection. The set was created to make the perfect ombre manicure.

Levitate is a beautiful medium shade of turquoise with bright turquoise shimmer and holographic particles. The holo is subtle in most lighting but more vibrant in the sunlight. Erin said that she was so happy with this color that she felt as if she were floating - and I would bet that's how it got its name! I wore two coats with topcoat for the photos.





Crush is a beautiful royal blue with purple and silvery blue sparks and holographic pigment. It's such a vibrant color that it looks like it's glowing! Check the bottle in those photos and you'll see what I mean, its really difficult to capture but I did my best! The polish went on like butter in two coats.
Erin changed up the packaging recently, and I love the new flat brushes. They allow easy control of where the polish lands on the nail and help make those nice straight edges around the curve of the nail. She also has new easy to read bottle labeling and sexy curvy bottles!





For An Angel is my favorite of the three. It's a bluish purple with blue and pink sparkles that add depth to the holographic polish. I keep looking at the bottle and thinking Erin must have magical pixies helping her make this polish! It's a beaut, and a one coater! Yep, I just wore one coat and topcoat for the photos.





This is my second review of the Nire's Desire brand and I am pleasantly surprised with the packaging improvements she's made in what seems to me like such a short time. Her formula is consistently good and she is very open to any sort of feedback. I enjoy working with her and hope that you've enjoyed the review and photos!

You can see the rest of the Phase Two collection and grab your own set at Erin's shop: Nire's Desire.

Nire's Desire: Revel and Anam Cara

One Product provided for review, one product purchased by xoxojen.

Debbie from The Crumpet blog posted a swatch of Revel to her facebook page and I bought it so fast that the Road Runner would have missed it! Revel was so stonking gorgeous, that I had to have my own bottle!

I had not heard of Nire's Desire polishes before Debbie blogged them, so I was excited to try a new brand and even more excited when Erin offered to send another polish to me for review.
Random: I also just now realized that Erin's name is spelled backward for her brand - Nire's. How neat!

Revel is a grape juice colored one coat holographic polish. Yes, its a one coater folks! I must admit I do apply polish in fairly thick coats, so if you use thin coats it might take two coats. The formula is fluid and very easy to apply. During application the polish stays wet enough that you can paint the whole nail then go down the middle again to even it out. I had very little clean up and that makes for a happy Jen! I like the square bottle and vinyl labels too. The front has the brand name and the back label shows the color name. Beautiful polish, excellent formula, and pretty packaging - what more could a gal want?




Then there was Anam Cara, oh how I love thee! Anam Cara was provided for review and sent along with my Revel order. Its a blue leaning medium purple, nearly a periwinkle color with green shimmer in it that shifts to hot pink under lower lighting. The formula and application are stellar, just like Revel's. I shot this photo series with CFL bulbs which seem to have washed out the beautiful shimmer somewhat, but you can see it glowing wildly in the bottle. Its like that on the nail too!

Did you know that Anam Cara is an Irish term roughly translated "Soul Friend" - sort of like a soul mate but a friend. So, Erin made this one for her best friend who just moved away. The purple speaks of passion, love and happiness while the green gives it a Celtic flair. Do you have that special someone that you always feel close to, no matter how far apart you are?




If you like what you see here, have a look in her shop. Nire's Desire is definitely on my 'must have all the polish' list! You should also stalk follow Nire's Desire's facebook page so you can keep up with new releases and other news from the brand!
