A Small Nail Polish Haul and Swatches

I only bought two nail polishes this week. I'm trying to cut back because I've never worn a lot of the nail polishes I already own. Anyway, today I have two OPI nail polishes to show you. I don't usually buy OPIs since I rarely find them on sale but this week JCPenny had them buy one get one 50% off, plus I had a 15% off coupon, so they didn't end up being too expensive.

You're Such a Budapest is a lovely lilac with sliver shimmer, although the shimmer isn't really visible on the nail. It's quite a bit lighter in person. This is three coats.

 

Amazon...Amazoff is a beautiful dark teal creme, I really love this one too, but there is some staining so I recommend using a generous amount of base coat. This is two coats.

 

Thanks so much for visiting and please leave any requests, thoughts, or questions in the comments.

My Zoya Collection: Greens and Golds

This is part two of my Zoya collection swatches, my first installment in this series was the red swatches and in case you missed that, you can see it here. Today I have swatches of all my green and gold Zoyas.

 

Ziv is a beautiful gold foil with some small copper-ish flakes in it. This one is so sparkly in person, it's definitely my favorite gold out of my collection. This is 2 coats.

 

Maria Luisa is a gold flake topcoat. This one doesn't actually contain real gold but it is still really pretty, this is one coat over Ziv,

 one coat over OPI You're Such a Budapest,

 and one coat over OPI Amazon...Amazoff.

 

Cassedy is a pewter foil. Like Ziv, this one is also really sparkly. Shown here is one coat.

 

 Yara is a stunning olive green with gold shimmer, I absolutely love this one. This is 2 coats.

 

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope those of you in the US have a great Fourth of July. Please leave any questions, thoughts, or requests in the comments, I love reading them :)

Nail Polish Haul and Swatches

So I went nail polish shopping... Again. That's pretty much my life summed up in one sentence. Anyway, I bought eight nail polishes last week and I have swatches of all of them for you.

The first three nail polishes are all from Sally Beauty, they had a buy one get one free Orly sale which is how I got Glowstick and Snowcone, Flawless Flush was on clearance.

Flawless Flush is a lovely pinkish lavender with gold shimmer, this came out in their Spring 2014 collection so look for it in the clearance bins. This is two coats.

 

Glowstick is an insanely neon yellow polish that lives up to its name, I'm currently wearing this one and it's amazing. Shown here is one coat over white.

 

 Snowcone is a lovely periwinkle creme with an amazing formula, this is ONE coat! It's a little bit lighter than it appears in the photo.

 Next is my first ever Deborah Lippman nail polish Boom Boom Pow, I kind of hate the name but the polish itself is a beautiful gold topcoat which contains "24 karat gold dust". I love the delicate gold shimmer this one has in it, which you can see better in the second picture. I found this one on clearance at Sephora for $4.99 which is pretty great for such an expensive nail polish.

 

 

Finally I have four Sephora Formula X polishes, starting from the top they are called Boom, Maniacal, TNT, and Firecracker. This is one coat of each over Zoya Black Swan. I also found these on clearance at Sephora, they were $2.99 each.
