Bonita Colors| Wanna Get Away Collection

Hello Loves!

Today I have another collection by Bonita Colors. I swear these names make me wanna get away. Its a very bright and fun collection as any vacation should be in the summer.

First up is Ibiza Nightlife, a bright jelly pink. I did three thin coats for opacity plus topcoat. The formula for this one was really good and great coverage for a jelly like color.

Essie Summer 2015| Peach Side Babe Collection

Hello loves!
I got my hands on the Essie's summer 2015 collection.
These colors are beautiful no doubt but not quite the kind that WOWED me at all.
Let's get to the colors...
Private Weekend is a white cream with glitter.  Beautiful white with glitter on the bottle but the glitter would not show on the nails. Nada! Oh but you will see the glitter once you start to remove it. WITCHCRAFT ha!
I did two coats. Plus top coat.

Essie's Flowerista|Spring 2015

Happy Friday!

Today's post is the new Essie collection for spring 2015.

This collection celebrates the fresh perspectives and energetic nature of the spring season.

It is also the first collaboration with designer Rebecca Minkoff who is joining Essie as a global color designer.

I wish that Essie would come out with more spring-ish colors. Two of these, although beautiful colors, does not scream SPRING to me, you'll know which ones :-)

Let's get to them... I took different shots of many colors because some were really hard to capture the true color.

First up is Petal Pushers a slate grey and to me with a blue undertone. Beautiful color, a bit darker than my photo. Formula was really good, too good. Two coats plus top coat.

Zoya|Delight Spring 2015: Swatches & Review

Milani| Fierce Foil Nail Lacquer

Hello loves!

I know, I know... I am on Milani roll this week. They sent me a whole lot of new things for Spring 2015 to review/swatch that its impossible to move on to something else, but I am not complaining, not at all!

Today's post is about nail polishes. Milani released six new polishes for their Fierce Foil line. I have to be honest, I am not the biggest fan of polishes that have flecks, seriously. Once I tried these on my nails, I was done, and I'm in love.

The following is an insert from Milani's press release note:

“Nothing like genuine gold flecks – twirling, swirling, luminescent sparkles - to take lacquer shine to the next level. For a multidimensional effect foil shine that only looks like you spent hours at the nail salon, paint on one of these six high-impact, trend-driven shades. Named for famous Italian cities, they span the color spectrum from the pearly-white, beachy Sardinia to the cobalt blue Venice. While it goes on sheer, the gold-formula has real staying power. These hip lacquers were built to last.”

Essie|Cashmere Matte 2015 Collection

Hello Again lovelies!

I may be in a roll the next couple of days as the year has started very busy for me! YAY! for that. ;-)

I have the new Essie Cashmere Matte collection, which was sold out on their website, and I was going crazy.

Essie describe this collection "with a satin-matte texture and a subtle but spellbinding micro-iridescent finish" it has a soft matte finish and with matte polishes is better if used without top coat. I applied three coats for all colors to get full opacity. it is better to wait a minute or two in between coats to dry. A great thing about these is that they dry quick and they feel so soft after dried, like touching cashmere LOVE!

Zoya Matte Velvet Swatches & Giveaway

Hello again!

I am certainly on a roll today with this second post today.

Back in November 2013 I did my second post and it was for the matte velvet from Zoya, back then it was only four., and let's be honest my photos were bad, but I am proud of how much I have improved :-)

This year Zoya has re-released them plus two new ones (are they?) giving a total of six matte velvet polishes.

These type of polishes are not be worn with a base coat or any kind of top coat (unless you decide to). And due to the unique matte formulation, color is not long-wearing as a traditional nail color.

Let's get to the fun...and a surprise giveaway at the end...

Zoya's Entice & Ignite Fall 2014 Collections' Swatches

Good afternoon loves!

It’s been a crazy week, sort of. I was called to work for a couple of days to the office in NY, while out, received these two collections, I was anxious to get back home to swatch them, but when I got back, life and household stuff took most of my time.

Anyway, the wait is over, at least for me it is :-)

I will keep this post short as I have many, many photos (12 polishes in total) to share but I won’t write much. I’ll use Zoya’s definitions of each color followed by my very short opinion ;-)

So here we go...

Now off to each shade from this collection...

Essie 'Dress to Kilt' Fall 2014

Good Evening lovelies,

I have a late post tonight as I could not really wait!

On my most recent trip to NY, and as a routine, I went to my spot in Brooklyn and what did I find? The new Essie Fall 2014 collection! Yay! I bought two, wonder what I may do with the extra set?? :-D

Well my dears, I have to say, Essie hit a homerun with this line, I mean, SERIOUSLY! I don't own any of last fall's collection, so the colors are new to me, at least from Essie.

Let's get to them... I may have taken more than one photo of each... ;-)

Zoya Naturel Deux (2)

Hello My lovely readers!

Today I have swatches of the new Zoya Naturel Deux.

Zoya has done it again, they have come out with a new set of neutral polishes, these are deeper hues and oh my so beautiful and in my honest opinion, PERFECT.

So I don't sound repetitive for all of these I did two coats, they are full coverage (amazing) they can easily be a one coater only if you apply a ticker coat for most of them, I honestly forgot for which one it won't work, I added top coat as well.

Lacquered Nail Polish

Hello Again!

Today I have a new indie polish. YAY!
