Zoya Ornate Collection

Today I've got Zoya's new ornate collection to show you. These are all super awesome glitter and shimmery polishes.

Aurora: A full coverage sugarplum purple with holographic micro glitters. This went fully opaque with two coats.


Blaze: A cool toned mulberry with micro fine holographic glitters. This formula is the exact same as Aurora, just a different color. 



Electra: A super packed silver holographic bar glitter. I'm not a huge fan of bar glitters, because they're "hairy" and hard to control. This is three coats for 99% opacity :)


Logan: A yellow toned forest green with a foil-esque finish with blue-green shimmers. This went on with two even coats. 


Storm: A black cream packed with micro fine holographic glitters. This is the same formula as Aurora and Blaze.


Ziv: A yellow gold foil with accents of warm gold glitter flakes. This went on smoothly with two coats.



What do you think about all of these glitters? Do you have a favorite? Mine is a tie between Ziv and Blaze

The Hungry Asian- Strawberry

Today I've got another Indie polish to show you from The Hungry Asian! This is Strawberry- a red jelly-cream *hybrid-oooooooh-ahhhhhhh* with black glitters in it that make it look like puree'd strawberries. This goes on evenly with two coats -NO SPOTTING!!- and dries fairly quickly, and shiny enough to ALMOST not need a top coat *but I used one anyways because I feel naked without it*

Hope everyone likes this :) Does anyone else have/LOVE this polish?

Tough As Nails Lacquer Teal Me About It and Spacing Out

Today *procrastinating on my 31dc post* I've got two more Tough As Nails Lacquer  polishes :). Have any of you went to swatch something and fell in love and HATED to take it off? That's what happened when I swatch these awesome polishes :)

The first up is Teal Me About It *Teal Me About It is a clear-based lacquer designed to layer over another color. It includes hex and diamond glitters, enjoys long walks on the beach, and puns.* I layered this over Nina Ultra Pro Gladiator *a SUPER shimmery gold*

Next up is Spacing Out *Spacing Out is a black jelly lacquer. It contains teal, turquoise, blue, and silver holographic hex glitter. Spacing Out likes thinking thoughts, examining her fingerprints, and . . . wait . . . what? * This one I did on its own with two coats, and it's amazingly squishy AND sparkly
