Here is the third lacquer from Zoya's Sunshine Collection that was released for this summer. Sunshine has 6 sparkling summery shades, each with lots of golden glitter. Zoya Tanzy is the perfect summer orange. Orange doesn't always look very good with my skin, but all the golden glitter in Tanzy made it look very nice on my skin tone. It applied well, like...
Hi, everyone! Today I'll be showing you my first Borghese. It's called Mediterraneo Sea, from the Holiday 2010 Collection. This is a really cool polish. It has a dark blue base color, and it's chock full of glitter. The glitters are blue, silver, green, purple, and some even look a little holographic. It dried matte, but I didn't like it that way, so...
This is my second Mean Girls-inspired post for On Wednesdays We Wear Pink. I chose to show you guys one of my new OPIs. This is OPI Don't Know...Beets Me! It's kind of a silly name, like lots of OPI polishes, but it is a very nice color. Though not unique, it's a pretty bright pink crème. The application was flawless. It took...
After a day or two of wearing OPI Dating a Royal, I decided to add two layers of Nubar 2010. Nubar 2010 is a clear polish filled with awesome flakies. It's so pretty. Check out the difference it made with OPI Dating a Royal! It's like a whole new polish. Nubar 2010's flakies shine orange, green, gold, and blue depending on the angle....
OPI Dating a Royal is a gorgeous royal blue. It's very opaque, and it was a one coat wonder for me :) I really love the OPI formula on colors like this -- super pigmented, and super creamy. It didn't stain my fingers or nails at all either! It also looked so great on the nail. I wasn't that excited for it, but...
Zoya came out with a matte collection for summer, called Mod Matte. The colors are very bright and summery, and, of course, all have a matte finish. Zoya does mattes quite well, in that they aren't too difficult to apply. I never wear nail polish long enough to really test the wear on them, but they seemed okay throughout the day. Phoebe First...
I bought six colors from Zoya's summer collections, all of which are from the Sunshine half. I love the crèmes in Summertime too, but I couldn't afford to get them all. Here are the first two colors from Zoya Sunshine, Zoya Reva and Zoya Kimmy. REVA Reva is a beautiful fuchsia color, full of golden sparkle. All the Sunshine colors have this shimmery gold, and...
Golden Rose is a Turkish company that makes a lot of great holos at reasonable prices. I bought this and the other polishes in my haul from their US website. They offer free shipping over $20, and it is pretty fast too. I really recommend buying some Golden Rose holos. They aren't the strongest out there, but they are cheaper and still very...
OPI Absolutely Alice was released as part of the limited edition Alice in Wonderland collection. It is a beautiful glitter, and very popular. I'm really glad I got my bottle early, because now it's selling for crazy prices on ebay. OPI Absolutely Alice is a glitter polish made up of royal blue and gold glitters. It shines like crazy! I have been in...
Continuing with April's blue polish swatching in honor of Autism Awareness Month, here is OPI What's With the Cattitude? It's from the Shrek Collection OPI did, and it is one of my favorite spring polishes. What's With the Cattitude? is a baby blue crème. It's a pastel, but it applies quite well despite that. OPI really does have a great formula. These pictures...
Here are some current giveaways I am entering. First is You Nailed It!'s Deborah Lippman giveaway. The exact color is going to be a surprise, so I just threw in a picture of the famous Across the Universe. Diava's Lacquer Box is holding a giveaway of Gosh Holographic. Holy cow! I really want this polish, and I'm sure you do too. Look at the cute...
Here's another beautiful blue for Autism Awareness Month. This is Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Extreme Wear in Pacific Blue. Whew, what a long name! This is a super pigmented blue. It is hard to describe the color itself; it's a very bright cornflower-type blue. It's a crème, and it applies super easily. For being a drugstore polish, Pacific Blue is downright awesome....
As Autism Awareness Month continues, I'm swatching all of my blue polishes. This is Nubar Indigo Illusion, a really strong duochrome lacquer. It covered incredibly well, with two thin coats for maximum opacity. It also dried very quickly, something that seems to be typical among Nubar polishes. The duochrome shines blue, green, gold, and mauve. I tried to capture some different angles, so...
