Zoya: Flair for Fall 2015 (Full collection swatches)

Press Sample

Hello loves! I hope everyone's weekend was great. It has finally started cooling down here, it's really beginning to feel like fall. So I have some great fall shades from Zoya's Flair collection. This set consists of 6 metallic polishes. I have all 6 shown here as 2 coats, unless noted below, topped with Superchic Lacquer Marvel Top Coat. They all have excellent formulas, applying silky smooth, and they dry very quickly. I love Zoya's metallic formulas because they aren't brush strokey and they have a lovely shimmer to them.

Zoya: Paradise Sun Summer 2015 Collection

Press Sample

Hi guys! Today I have the second Summer collection from Zoya to show you. I had planned on swatching these sooner but I know that we bloggers tend to post them all at once and then the blogging world seems to go into overload. This is why I decided to wait so they would serve as sort of a refresher, or as something kind of new if you happened to miss the storm of posts. Now let's jump right on into the photos! 

Zoya Delight Collection: Swatches & Review

Press Sample

Hey guys, happy Saturday! Today I have some great Zoya polishes swatched for you. This lovely spring collection consists of 3 cremes and 3 shimmering metallics. I have all 3 metallics shown as 2 coats and the cremes shown as 3, they are all topped with Seche Vite top coat. This collection has exquisite formulas, all applying smooth and easily. No dragging, clumping or thickening during application. The cremes are a little thinner than the metallics but build nicely and are completely opaque with the third coat without being too thick on the nail.

Zoya Wishes Collection Swatches

Press Sample

So I realized as i was going through my photos that I somehow forgot to post my Zoya Wishes swatches! Silly me. So here are my very late swatches. The Wishes collection was released for Winter 2014, it consists of 2 metallics, 1 creme and 3 Magical Pixies. 

The metallics have excellent formulas, they apply smooth and easy and are perfectly opaque in two coats. They are the perfect thickness, giving you excellent control so there is no flooding the cuticles or sides. 

The creme formula is a bit thinner, I required 3 coats to get it even and opaque. There was minimal flooding but you do need to be more careful with it than with the metallics. 

The Pixies were a little bit of a disappointment for me. I love the original Pixies and I love the original Magical Pixies but these jelly based ones really don't do it for me. They never get very textured, like the glitters just sink into the jelly base too much so they dry too smooth in my opinion. All of the Pixies are shown as 3 coats 

So let's get on with the swatches...

Hello all! I have a few of the SinfulColors Holiday shades to show you tonight. There are actually quite a few in this "holiday" collection but some of them are favorites that are usually available all year long and there are quite a few that were brought back from last year as well. These are a few that I don't actually already own, it's so hard for me to find new ones sometimes since I have sooooo many Sinfuls! It is my absolute favorite drugstore brand after all!

Zoya Awaken Collection Swatches & Review

Press Sample

I have been slacking on my Zoya swatches, I know I know...SHAME ON ME! I was really hoping to swatch these when my nails grew out a little longer but I kept putting it off, kept breaking nails and I have had these in my “needs to be swatched bin” for far too long. So even though I can’t show them off on longer nails the way I would have liked to, at least my nails have gone beyond being super crazy nubby. Thank goodness for that! Anyway, the awaken collection consists of  2 creams and 4 metallics in gorgeous pastel shades that are Spring perfection!

Hello again! Today I have a little bit of nail art for you all. I’m really quite happy with how this whole thing turned out. Vary rarely do I think of a particular design then have it actually translate the way I pictured it in my mind onto the nail.

Zoya Satins Collection: Swatches and Review

Press Sample

Hi loves!!! Long time no see! I took a mini hiatus to get somethings straight but I'm back now and I'm going to try to get back into the swing of things once again. What better way to start off than with some Zoya? Today I have the final part of the Fall collections. I already posted 2 out of the 3 collections: the Fall PixieDusts and the Cashmeres. I was looking forward to this collection the most of all 3. I love the Pixies and I love cremes but I usually don't find myself as excited about metallics. The summer metallic collection, Irresistible, changed my mind though. Zoya knows how to do metallics, so when I received the press release for this set I was giddy with anticipation! These colors ROCK!!! The formulas rock just as much. No dragging, flooding or pooling, they are extremely opaque, smooth and silky. The brush strokes are minimal, when present they actually look nice with the finish; not junkie like most metallic polishes.

Mish Mash Challenge: Metallic

Purchased By Me/Gifted To Me

Hello loves, happy Wednesday! I have another really quick Mish Mash Challenge post today, I promise that I will take my time on these posts soon. I'm still playing catch up on review posts and still a bit under the weather so I'm still just kind of zipping through the Mish Mash posts, but hey it's on time this week! 

I was looking forward to doing this day in the challenge and had a specific mani in mind. When I came down to it I wound up doing something completely different! LOL

Happy Monday!! I hope everyone had a great weekend, I know I did! The weather has been so amazing and feels so summer like, I just love it! Summer like weather calls for beautiful summer nails, wouldn't you agree? Zoya has come out with some really amazing summer collections this year (if you haven't seen the Summer PixieDust Collection click here to see my swatches) and today I have the Irresistible collection to show you.  This collection contains 6 foil metallic polishes that all have a a hint of gold flakes. Each of these had a great formula making application fairly easy. No dragging or balding and they all went on pretty smooth, with the exception of one (keep reading below) All of the photos are shown as 3 coats, unless otherwise stated, and all are topped with Sally Hansen Diamond Flash. I want to note that with the length of my nails I usually use one more coat than would be used on shorter/average length nails.
