Glitter with Half Moon Stamping

Hi Dolls!!! So today's mani is a little sparkly and flashy, exactly what I need to shake away these winter blues!!!

 I did a base of Zoya Reagan with two coats of Orly Bubbly Bombshell!  Bubbly Bombshell is like most glitter bombs because even though it is packed full of glitter it is still has a clear base that would take 3+ coats to get the coverage I wanted! So I did a base of Reagan! I then stamped a half moon design using Bundle Monster Plate BM-215 and China Glaze I'd Melt For You!!!

Now I usually shy away from glitter bombs, solely because they are a pain to remove!!! This mani reminded me that even though they may be a pain, the sparkle can't be beat!!!

House Of Colour by China Glaze

Happy Friday Dolls!!!! Today I have China Glaze's newest collection,  House of Colour:) Now looking at the previews for this collection I was kinda meh about it, but there were a few that really struck me:) But when these babies came in the mail I got excited because the previews do not do this collection justice at all!!!!

*press sample*

First up is Let's Chalk About It, a Soft White Creme with just a hint of pink:) Great formula with only slight streaking on the first coat! Here is 2 coats

About Layin' Out is a gorgeous Salmon Pink Crelly:) This polish just looks juicy, builds up opacity in 2 coats but I did 3 coats just to take care of VNL (visable nail line)

Don't Be Shallow is a Sky Blue Crelly, one of my favs of this collection!!! The coverage is the same as About Layin' Out, good build up in 2 coats! But again I did 3 coats to take care of VNL:) not to mention it is one of Pantone's Color of the Year (Serenity)!

Shut The Front Door is a Medium Purple Crelly base with a very intense pink shimmer!!! This one is definitely unique in my collection, and I Love Unique:) Here is 2 coats

Chrome Is Where The Heart Is, a Blush colored Chrome!!! Like most chrome polishes this beauty has a tendency to streak on application:( but it is a 1 coat wonder!!!!

In The Near Fuchsia is a Fuchsia Crelly!!!! A great berry color with that lovely crelly squishiness that we all love!!!  The coverage is slightly more dense than the first two crellys in this collection as this took only 2 coats:)

Pink or Swim is a  Dusty Bubblegum Pink Creme!!! The formula was much thicker than the rest of the collection but still workable, here is 2 coats!  This is a slightly darker version of Pantone's second color of the year (Rose Quartz)

Sorry I'm Latte is a Nude Creme with pink/orange undertone! This one is a great neutral and perfect palate cleanser!!! Here is 2 coats:)

Glitter Me This... is a Gold, pale pink and white multi sized glitter topper in clear base! Now after looking at the pics I wish I had done this over a different color... The awesomeness of the combo IRL just didn't transfer in pics. The distribution of the glitters is perfect, no fishing at all!!! Here is 1 coat over Sorry I'm Latte:) 

Girls Just Wanna Have Sun is a Pale Yellow Creme! Now pale yellows are hard to do right so as not to wash out the skin, but this one is perfect!!!! Here is 2 coats:)

Come Rain Or Shine is a Medium Blue crelly with intense pink shimmer!!! There is nothing hidden about the shimmer in this polish, it is apparent in every light!!!! Here is 2 coats:)

Moonlight the Night is the last in this collection! It is a menagerie of  blue, purple, teal, and orange translucent glitters!! Looking at this polish in the bottle it appears to be in a blue jelly base, but fear not the base is clear!!! Here is 1 coat on all nails with several layers sponged on my ring finger!!! 

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I like this collection!!!! It has a little something for everyone!!!! My personal fave are Something to Chalk About, Girls Just Wanna Have Sun, Don't Be Shallow, and Come Rain or Shine:)

Zoya Island Fun Swatches

Hi Dolls!!!! Today I have the Zoya Island Fun Collection to show you:) This is a collection of 6 richly pigmented bright creme beauties! One of the things I love most about this collection is the deepness of the tones, I can definitely see wearing this collection well into the Fall:)

*press sample*

First up is Demetria:) A bright poppy red that leans slightly orange! This color is so classic and beautiful it just begs to be put on your toes for a trip to the pool or beach!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV!  

Cecilia is a gorgeous traditional teal creme:) This polish makes me think of the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean!!! But be careful with this one as it is highly pigmented and can stain so make sure you wear a good base coat!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)

Nana is a bright fuchsia that is perfect for your next Mani!!!! Love the wearability of this Color!!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)

Serenity is a bright summery purple creme:) This gem has a great blue undertone and I love the way it looks with my skin tone!!!  Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV!

Jace is a great tropical green!!! Every time I look at this color I can't wait to do some nail art with it!!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)

Lastly is Talia, a bright turquoise/blue creme that is incredible!!! I am such a sucker for blues too:) Like Cecilia this baby is highly pigmented and will stain, so make sure you use a good base!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV!

I always look forward to Zoya's collections no matter the season and this is no different!!! I love how true to the tropics this collection is!!! It is available now on www.zoya.com for $9 each and $54 for the collection! Stay tuned because I have Paradise Sun Collection coming soon!!!
