covergirl amethyst and midnight magic


Hey so has anyone else seen all the new CoverGirl Outlast shades in Walgreens yet? Those small displays started popping up everywhere that have a limited collection of colors, but recently a whole shelf full of CG nail polish popped up at my Walgreens, with what I think is every shade from the core line.

A few caught my eye right away, so I took 'em home and swatched both of them.

Amethyst





Two coats of Amethyst. This one didn't catch my eye right away, but I picked up the bottle by chance and noticed it has a purple shimmer.

The formula is on the thick side, but it's not unmanageable and applies quite smoothly. The color is a nice mouse-y brown, and the shimmer is subtle but it adds an interesting quality to the polish.

Midnight Magic





I knew I wanted this one as soon as I saw it. It's a crazy blue metallic foil with a smattering of copper, green, gold, and silver. It's just AWESOME in the bottle, which is why I grabbed it. The copper is what makes this one unique and interesting in my opinion.

Midnight Magic does not disappoint. I swatched it with two coats, but three thin coats would be best.

There were a few more colors that looked pretty and that I want to try, but at seven bucks a pop I'm gonna have to hold back for a while... D: Unless they're on sale. ;)

  1. the price is pretty much why i havent pulled the trigger on buying any of these, but that amethyst is certainly a polish to second glance at! i think cvs or one of those has these on 2 for $10 right now.

    1. Yeh they're a bit pricey for drugstore polish... :/ If they keep coming out with interesting shades I'm going to go broke. :P

  2. Midnight magic looks awfully dupey for zoya fei fei. Gorgeous color.

    1. That's definitely a possibility. o: If I had Fei Fei I'd do a comparison! :(

    2. I have them both, as well as SinfulColors Winter Wonder. All three are exact dupes, but the Zoya takes 3-4 coats for coverage and the SinfulColors is slightly thick. I think the Cover Girl formula is the best of the three.

    1. There was a red one right next to it with the same foily finish, but I put it down and got Amethyst instead! xD Now I wish I'd bought all three...

  5. Liking Midnight Magic! My hubby picked up a couple of the CG's for me a few weeks back a purple/lavender one and a teal, STILL haven't gotten to swtaching them yet though! LOL

  7. I'm so glad I found your blog - I love it!

    I picked up both of these last night - I suspect Amethyst is a dupe for Chanel Paradoxal but now I can't find my Paradoxal (or my Revlon Perplex) to compare. Do you have Paradoxal or have access to it? No one's blogged about this possible dupe yet.

    I also picked up the gorgeous red foil bomb you mentioned (Timeless Rubies) as well as a red metallic with a firey flash (Forever Festive). They were on a BOGO at both Rite Aid and Walgreens. They'd already been picked over pretty well or I'd have gotten more.

Please leave me a comment! I read all of them and I will definitely get back to you if you have any questions.
