The most delicious Truffle I've ever.... worn! Earthy and neutral, it features brown and gray undertones . Bottom line: But this shade. It is not only right n trend, it will be a seasonless addition to your collection and I promise you will wear it more often then you think. This is that yummy shade you wear when you want a polished look but you don't want the polish to be the star of the show. It took only 2 coats for mochalicious perfection. This was a slightly thicker lacquer than other LVX varnishes that I have used. No worries, I was able to finish my manicure with no trouble. It applied evenly, leveled quickly and after 4 days, only 3 nails are chipped. I'll say that's pretty bad ass for a nail polish! Vegan, 5-Free and amazing, I rate Truffle a coveted 5 out of 5 stars. xoxo •Nancy-Lee

Scarlet is an intricate color; polish one coat for a gray finish with complex maroon undertones and two coats to achieve a full captivating maroon-gray. This mind-blowing color is a must try. How could I resist a description like that? Especially when it was 35% off during Black Friday?! With that savings I grabbed 3 bottles, regularly $16 each. Today I present Scarlet . One coat provides a unique sheer grey finish which dances with shades of maroon. I applied 3 coats for full opacity and rich shimmer. I waited 3 minutes and accented the moons of my nails with Alchemy , my favourite LVX shade of all time!! Once both shades had fully cured I added a top coat to lock in the shine. I waited a solid 10 minutes before completing this last step. I did not want the gold to lift and drag down my nail.

How delicious. Mynt by LVX . Stimulating and revitalizing, this cool mint is the perfect summer pastel. Mynt pays homage to the significant prevalence of green this season. Invigorating and powerful, this serene green will prevail as a top choice for the warm summer days that are ahead of us. Created for a Summer fling, I found Mynt to be far more valuable a shade of green this Winter. I paired 2 coats of this divine cream with 3 coats of Trixie by Zoya . This combo lasted 2.5 days before small chips appeared. You know my addiction to LVX , a 5-Free vegan lacquer company whose small batch shades are inspired by runway trends. If you haven't made a purchase, you should: you will not be disappointed! Rating 4.5 out of 5 stars, Mynt is available on www.ShopLVX.com for $16.00.

Tantalizing and feminine, Deco is a vibrant coral . I love this creamy shade. It applies cleanly and streak-free needing 2 coats for full opacity and has a quick dry-down. I accent this look with Alchemy , a flamboyant gold . I like it so much I won't buy any other gold as they could never top this one. Also covering opaquely with 2 coats, it dries shiny and amazing. Deco and Alchemy lasted 3 days before the first chips appeared. Simply delicious. I love these shades apart as much as I love them together. I rate Deco 4.5 out of 5 stars and Alchemy a coveted 5 stars. I'll get much more wear out of Alchemy .

Once again Mariah Carey pulled of The Impossible : A reddish pink polish that reminds me of a candy strawberry. Visible glitter of hexagon and stars embellish The Impossible , by OPI . Though I had to work at adding the stars to my nail one at a time, securing them on my brush and dabbing them into place. Once the stars dried in place, I added another coat of polish to cover them so they looked more organically applied and didn't peel off. I applied 3 coats of The Impossible . While it was drying down to a textured matte finish , I added 2 coats of Tribute by LVX to each of my ring fingers. The blue is rich, shiny and delicious. A perfect compliment. Did you jazz up a special Independence Day mani? Post the link below so I can check it out!! xoxo •Nancy-Lee

Luminous and powerful, this tranquil shade pays tribute to Callais, the infamous intrepid blue from our debut Summer Collection. With complex white undertones, Celeste is expressive and dynamic. Pair this cool blue with vibrant coral, like our very own Deco. This shade deserves to be decorated. Even as a standout on it's own, Celeste wants a wing man. As always, I started with a base coat, this time I chose Nailtiques Formula2 , followed by 2 smooth coats of Celeste and topped it off with Butter London Hardware top coat. This shade lasted 2 days before small chips started to make their appearance on the edge of my nails. Celeste is a beautiful shade and I cant wait to pump it up with something else.... I own Deco , too! Retailing for $16, I rate this 5-free vegan nail polish 4.5 stars. The LVX collections are always bottle true, easy to apply & remove and the fashion forward shades add a new level of modern-classic accessory to my nail ...

This alluring poppy red will stimulate and enliven your attitude for the summer season. This season's classic red, Modena is an essential shade that everyone should incorporate into their wardrobe. Pair this seductive red with white and neutrals. This is a dreamy red. Kissed with blue, it is not the pink poppy you might have been thinking of, it is more like the flower that represents Veterans day. Bright, delicious and daring. This is an amazing shade of red that offered an opaque, creamy finish with only 2 coats. I left this shade on for 6 days and was pretty impressed to discover there was zero staining on my nails which is unheard of when it comes to red. It lasted 3 days before it chipped and stayed bright and beautiful. Retailing for $16, I rate Modena a coveted 5 out of 5 stars. xoxo •Nancy-Lee

  I can't resist. It's as if they speak to me. I grabbed 4 of the LVX Summer 2013 collection from BeautyARMY.com. How amazing are these shades? Celeste , Deco , Mynt and Modena . 5-Free, this vegan line just gets better and better with each limited edition collection. While the shades are seasonal, the hues are timeless. Which is your favourite? xoxo •Nancy-Lee

This is one of the hardest reviews for me to write. As you know, I ha ve a deep love for LVX . I am completely addicted to this Brand and own sever al shades over several seasons. I really wanted to add Citrine to my collection and when I saw the partnership with ASPCA , a 20% donation, I pounced. Unfortunately , Ci trine turned out to be a 'miss' for me .

This audacious blue is an amazing statement color for the season. Cerulean is intricate, inviting and is the perfect cool bright addition into our Spring palette. This groundbreaking blue pairs well with pristine white and shades of golden yellow. If you follow me on Instagram, you know this is my favourite shade at the moment. I have worn it 5 times in as many weeks - I just can't get e nough. I am almost addicted to Cerulean . It's bright but not ne on. It's perfect for spring/summer but can punch up a Winter White wardrobe. Another easy applicatio n, Cerulean goes on cleanly and streak-free with only 2 coats. I find this has the best finish if you apply it thinly and use three strokes . The creamy finish is completely opaque and lasts 2.5 - 3 days before chipping. Another LVX winner!! 4.5 out of 5 stars. Here's the real deal: you must start with a base co at - Cerulean stains your nails. If you forget and staining occurs, u...
