Cult Nails In The Garden Collection Swatches

I'm on a blogging roll this week! Today I have Cult Nails In the Garden collection to show you. This collection consists of three matte/wax finish polishes and two super shiny ones. First off I must say that I LOVE the silly names on these -and Maria's story behind the names. All of these polishes are unique and perfect in formula.


Morning Glory: Morning Glory is a purple-pink *more on the pink side* matte/wax finish polish. This went on smoothly with two coats. This polish can actually be worn with ONE coat and no streaks/spots. I probably need a gallon of this polish, that's how amazing this color is.

 Let's Get Dirty: Let's Get Dirty is a lavender toned nude matte/wax finish polish with the most gorgeous shimmer in it. The formula was the same as Morning Glory and it's a close second on my favorites for the collection. This is two thin coats.

 Kiss My Rose Bush: Kiss My Rose Bush is a rosy pink matte/wax finish polish. This one was a tiny bit harder in application, and for photogenic reasons, I used three thin coats.

 Ay Poppy!: Ay Poppy! is a traffic cone orange polish. This is so bright and wonderful that even my DSLR had issues getting it's true color. This is two coats with NO top coat. This is so glossy it makes me want to cry with happiness :)
two coats- NO top coat


 You're My Dandy Lion: You're My Dandy Lion is a soft but bright yellow. This is two even coats with no top coat. This is a glossy polish compared to most brands, but not quite as glossy as Ay Poppy!
two coats- No top coat

Overall, I absolutely LOVE this collection. Maria hit the nail right on the head with this one and I love it. It's definitely different from what most brands are coming out with, but it's perfect. My top two from this collection are definitely Morning Glory and Let's Get Dirty. You can purchase these polishes HERE!

Zoya Pixie Dust Summer Edition

Today I'm excited to share Zoya's new summer edition Pixie Dust polishes. I was super impressed with the first six of these and excited that they continued with another set of them. These are all SUPER bright, vibrant colors and jam packed with sparkle. Instead of sounding redundant, these all went on evenly with two coats, and look GORGEOUS with or without top coat.
Quick swatches of all six 
L to R: Solange, Beatrix, Destiny, Miranda, Stevie, & Liberty

Zoya Pixie Dust Swatches/Review

Today I've got to show you my FAVORITE Zoya polishes EVER :) The Pixie Dust collection. Pixie dust is a matte, textured, glittering polish full of sparkle and dimension. I'm going to have to say that these are perfect. I don't have too much to say about these, because they speak for themselves. *All pictures are done with 3 coats and no top coat*

Dahlia: Black textured matte packed with silver glitter


Chyna: The perfect matte red with red glitter jam packed in it


Godiva: A sandy nude with silver glitters


Nyx: A soft periwinkle with *of course* silver glitters. This is my FAVE from the entire collection.


Vespa: Pastel celery green with silver glitters


London: Soft gray with silver glitter


I decided to see how these looked topped with a high gloss top coat, so of course, I can't not show you :). Here are all of the above topped with two coats of CND Super Shiney

Hope you love these :) I'm in love with every single one of them.

Cult Nails 2nd Anniversary Swatches/Review

Hey guys! Today I have Cult Nails 2nd Anniversary collection to show you. Let me start off by saying I hate swatching Cult Nails because they're all so awesome and I don't want to take them off. I wanted to keep all three of these on forever.

Blaze: Blaze is a blend of gold and copper glitters. Photos shown are three thin coats topped with Wicked Fast :)



Tempest: Tempest is a thick *almost* one coat white. Even though it's just white, the formula was great and it went on smoothly and evenly. This shows two coats topped with Wicked Fast


Fetish: Fetish is a matte black polish of awesomeness. It's not thick like most matte polish, and it goes on super smooth. The first two pictures are two coats of Fetish with no topcoat, and the second two pictures are topped with Wicked Fast
