Here are some photos from around the blogs about Adoree nail polish swatches. Plan for Spring but can be used anytime.

166 Deep Purple – Tyrian purple shimmer with red and blue shimmer particles.  This is a deep, rich, and regal vampy purple shimmer.  When I first saw it in the bottle, I thought I wasn’t going to like it, as I saw silver ribbons.  And silver ribbons usually equate to frosty mess, but I was pleasantly surprised.  There is a bit of frosty sheen to the finish, but it’s not brush-stroke-y and it’s not unflattering.  This was one of the thicker formulas that I tried.  Pic is 2 coats.

216 Fruit Shake – Pale milky peach with silver microshimmer.  Okay, when I say “microshimmer”, I mean microshimmer.  The shimmer is definitely there, but because it is so fine, it tends to sit on top of the polish, giving the finish a slight pearl effect.  It’s not a pearl polish, but it does have a bit of a pearly sheen.  I think this is a beautiful color, although it doesn’t really work with my pink skin.  I think it would look fabulous in the summer with tanned skin.  It reminds me of a peach milkshake.  The formula was pretty thin, but it was manageable.  Pic is 3 coats.

Tahitian Pearl – Grey-green/purple duochrome.  Unlike the other polishes in this post, Tahitian Pearl is LE.  Also, it doesn’t have an item #.  It’s the first polish listed in their Adoree selection.  If you love anything duochrome-y, you are going to LOVE this one.  The green/purple flash on this is gorgeous.  The catch?  Of course there had to be a catch… it’s extremely thin.  Like if-the-color-wasn’t-so-amazing-I-wouldn’t-fool-with-it thin.  This picture is 5 coats.  I would normally never recommend a 5-coat polish, but the coats on this were very thin and it dried quickly.  After I applied the last coat, I added a coat of SV and within minutes it was dry.  So, while it is many coats, it’s also not out-of-the-question.  It’s so pretty, I say it’s my favorite of the 5 despite the thinness.  It does look nice layered, but that has a tendency to change it from a duochrome to a shimmer

Today I’m sharing Adorée “Harbor Brown” with you. It’s a pearlized warm brown; a great fall shade. Pictured is two coats.

We’re very excited about CND Shellac new colors. And what’s more, we got news that we’ll have them soon. Perhaps, by end of February 2011. So you can start pre-ordering now online at our website Esthersnc.com to get the new colors.

At the moment, we have all the colors, base and top coats, shellac uv lamps and remover wraps. We also have the new CND Shellac Base Coat and Top Coat in the .5oz-size for $32.95 each. Means, doubles the size but costs less. Great for you who wear cnd shellac nail polish frequently.

Now I want to know what is your fave color from the new release? Please post your comment here.

Up for swatches, some Adoree colors for spring.

First is Adoree Blush Tone #141. Nice, sweet pink with bluish iridescent finish, which really shows under the sun light (photo #2). The photo used Beyou nail polish (discontinued) which has the same color with smaller size.

Second is Adoree Ivory Tusk #185. I love the shimmer and sparkle of this white polish. The sparkle add something to this polish subtle white.

And finally is Adoree Pink Taffy #116. Medium pink with shimmer finish.

All available at Esther’s Nail Center. And right now we have Adoree nail polish on sale for only $3.99 per bottle. Offer ends 1/31/2011.

Swatches done by Catherine from Strawberry Mochi. Thanks!

Adorée African Violet is super sheer, this swatch is 4 coats. I couldn’t get good pictures of the duochromatic effect but it is visible despite the sheerness. This color by itself with no colored base creates a greenish cast at some angles. It’s very pretty and seems to be a distant cousin of the coveted OPI Sugarplum Yum. Ultimately, due to my preference for opacity, this African Violet is probably not something that I would wear on its own but it’s a great color for layering.

Now, *this* is more like it. African Violet over black create amazing colors. African Violet over black is dark purple .

The swatch above is a representative of the green end of the chromatic spectrum.

Ok, another post of 4 Pinks from Adoree Nail Polish collection. This is a continuation from previous article “Pinks from Adoree Nail Polish #2″.   These nail polishes are available at Esther’s Nail Center.

From left to right:

Adoree Country Pink #142 – A sheer pale pinks with gold iridescent tone. Show subtle pink on the nails. Also great for layering.

Adoree Deep Carnation #211 – Pretty, bright pink in creme. Great for summer also. Glossy.

Adoree Pink Fashion #178 – This  hot pink in creme will surely brighten up your day. It has more red to it than Adoree #211. Glossy.

Adoree Wild Lilac #199 – A light pink with shimmer, almost to chrome finish. I like this color. It’s delicate, sweet pink but shimmery enough to get attention. The color on the picture show the bluish tone but not on the application.

Ok, I hope these posts are a great opening for many more pinks to come. Happy spring!

I recommend reading this great post on seventeen.com about Nail Art Ideas for spring season. All ideas are DIY and great for natural nails. Levels are from simple to difficult with creative nail polish application, nail art gems and pearls. You can find all stuff needed at EsthersNC.com, your online source for nail art.

This is a continuation from previous article “Pinks from Adoree Nail Polish #1″. I’d like to present another set of 4 pinks from Adoree collection. These nail polishes are available at Esther’s Nail Center.

From left to right:

Adoree #143 Hot Lips – Just like it’s name this color is a hot pink with blue tone iridescent finish. More to satin look than glossy. It’s a vibrant color that would really show on nails.

Adoree #164 Rose Freeze – A perfect name for this pink since it hold a bit glitters in it. When applied on nail, it’ll show only subtle glitters.  A shimmer pastel pink. Because of the glitter characteristic, it may need some layers for even finish.

Adoree #212 Begonia -  I love this medium, dusty rose pink. It comes to a shimmer, almost metallic finish.

Adoree #213 Ribbon Pink – This is like the color of pale pink ribbon with subtle green iridescent look.  A very pale pink, similar to natural pink French Manicure.

Love pink? Couldn’t get enough?  Then wait for the next post of the other 4 pink shades.

This color reminds me a bit of Maybelline Banana Puddin’: a slightly more saturated yellow and not as sheer. It still took four coats to even this out (and there are several spots where it still isn’t even). This was an NOTD for a couple of days and there was no chipping and virtually no tipwear at the end of the third day. Reviewed by Flinty from Polish or Perish blog.
