China Glaze Jamaican Out

Too much work lately but I still want to keep blogging :) I thought I would again show you another older China Glaze. This is two coats. Not a super wow colour but not bad at all for this time of the year.

I am actually done with swatching all the China Glaze polishes and I cannot wait to tell you more about it and show you some pictures of the work that has been done! Have a great weekend.

Zoya Beach & Surf Collection Summer 2012 - Swatches and Review

I have something very exciting for you today. The Zoya Beach & Surf Collection for summer. I LOVE summer collections. They remind me of holidays and are always so positive and full of colour. 

Zoya says: "Summer 2012 is going to be a super stylish season for nails with the latest offering of nail polish collections,Beach and Surf, from the new color of fashion, Zoya! This new splash of color, designed by the Zoya color experts, is kissed by sea and sand translating beautifully onto the nail in the famous, full-coverage Zoya formula.

Dive into the creamy shades of the Zoya Beach Collection or the shimmering sea foils of the Zoya SurfCollection. The choice is yours – this color palette is sure to be a splash!"

So let´s have a look at these. The first part is the Beach Collection followed by Surf. All the swatches are in natural indoor light (no sun, flash or artificial light):

REAGAN

LARA

SHELBY

ARIZONA

TRACIE

WEDNESDAY

CARLY

KIMBER

RORY

MYRTA

MEG

ZUZA

To sum this collection up: I love how these two collections complete each other and it will sure be a lot of fun to play around with these shades. For example I will for sure be wearing something from the Beach on my nails and from the Surf on my toes. Or different combinations on the nails! I must try something soon. The colour choice is also very pretty, I am in love with the turquoise and pinks and purple of course!

I also really liked the formula. It was a bit thicker but not in the bad way. I loved the cremes, they apply like a dream. These all covered in two coats and some may even need just one thicker coat. 

So what do you think of these? Which ones did you get or are on your wishlist?

P.S While speaking about Zoya, I must mention that this weekend is the Earth Day Zoya Nail Polish Exchange! For more information click here.

China Glaze Thataway

I hope you are not bored with these older China Glaze polishes. I am not, it is just amazing to discover all the shades. Some of them I have never heard of and it is such a pity. Just look at this beauty here. Thataway is a beautiful orange with gold shimmer. It looks very bright in direct sunlight. My pictures are as always indoor daylight. Perfect in two coats and no application problems :)

Essie Braziliant

I will have some serious swatching in the following weeks so I took a few days off now. I don´t want it to be something I don´t want to do, I want my blog to be fun. Today I want to show you a Essie Braziliant which is a beautiful bright (but not neon) orange with very dense shimmer. I don´t wear orange polishes very often and when I do I always take Illamasqua Gamma, which is my favourite, but this is pretty too. Have a great Sunday!

Finger Paints Fall Fashionista Collection 2011 - Swatches and Review

Summer is coming to an end and it is time for some fall collections. I don´t like reviewing fall collections in July because I am not in the mood for fall colors at that time. So today I have for you the fall collection from Finger Paints called Fall Fashionista:

STUNNING STILETTOS

Is a light grey creme. Two coats.

TO - TELLY CHIC

This is a blue, a bit teal. I like shades like this a lot for fall and this had great formula plus it is a one coater.

CATWALK QUEEN

I don´t like these mustard kinds of yellow very much. But if you do, I recommend this shade because as the previous one it was a dream to apply and covers in one coat.

RASPBERRY TAFETTA

This is my favourite of the whole collection. The color is so rich! I love it. This is two coats.

VINTAGE VELVET

A grayish teal. These colors are popular this fall. Two coats.

MILITARY GREEN

This was a surprise of the collection for me. You know I don´t like greens much. There are only a few I can actually wear. But this one is interesting. Very pretty shade of green. Two coats here.

CORDUR ORANGE

This is a reddish orange. Any kind of orange is great for fall so this color just fits into the whole collection. And this is another one coater.

HAUTE TAUPE

Taupe will always be popular. I don´t know if you would be interested but I could do a little comparison with this :) Two coats.

PURPLE PINSTRIPE

Another favourite of mine. This grayish purple is so nice and I like the way my nails look with it. Two coats again.

I have to admit one thing...I underestimated this collection. Yes the colors are nothing that special. I mean we have seen most of these before. The creme finish is also everywhere this fall. But you know what I love about these? Their formula and opacity. When I will be in the mood for a typical fall creme I will for sure wear something from this collection. I totally love Raspberry Tafetta, Military Green and Purple Pinstripe. Fall Fashionista is a nice typical fall collection that I am sure everybody can choose from.
