This is the second part to the summer collection by Zoya.

These are gorgeous micronized metallic sheen, very shimmering and when the sun hits, very sparkling. The formula on all polishes is actually good ones more opaque than the others but still good.

Zoya MaeFirst is Mae, a beautiful magenta pink with micronized metallic pearl finish. Two coats plus top coat. Great application!

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.

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.IMG_4303

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...

Swatches: Bonita Nail Polish Fall 2014

Hello!

Today I have a quick post on swatches for the new Bonita Fall collection.

All of these polishes have shimmer on them and varies from one coaters to just two.

Bonita's colors can be found at Rite Aid and the price is not more than $3.49 per polish, sometimes can even be a bit less.

If you don't have a Rite Aid close by you can also find them on the Bonita's website but they only ship within the USA I think.

Good afternoon loves!

To apply these no basecoat or top coat is recommended and keep in mind that they dry matte, and although textured polishes are really a pain to remove, Zoya has provide an easy tutorial on how to remove it here: how to remove.

First up is Oswin, a true red textured pixiedust with crimson mega hex particles. This is two coats. On the second photo I show how it would look if a top coat is applied.Zoya Oswin

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?? :-DEssie Fall 2014

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.

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.Zoya Naturel Deux (2)

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.

Essie 'haute in the heat' Summer 2014

Good morning dolls,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Purchased

Today I have the new Essie summer 2014 collection 'haute in the heat'.

I have always used Essie, It is one the first brands I used if not the very first one. I thought the neon collection was the summer one ;-)

I have to say these colors don't yell summer at all, well maybe a little. I am unhappy with one of them and the rest were good to work with. Let's get to them...

First up is Haute in the Heat, the namesake of this collection, a beautiful cranberry, hot pink mix. Really good formula and it can easily be a one coater if a little bit than normal is used. This is two coats plus topcoat.Essie Haute in the Heat
