Plaid Print with SinfulShine Prosecco

Hi Lovelies! Sorry I've been a bit MIA this past week. A new shift at work is leaving me with little time and energy to spare for nail art. I finally got the motivation that I needed when my friend gave me a bottle of SinfulShine Prosecco. I have been trying to find this limited edition polish in vain for the past few weeks so you can imagine how excited I was when she got a hold of one for me. I'm still over the moon excited to finally have it in my little paws. I have no idea how a 2 dollar bottle of polish bring so much happiness, but it does. Of course I couldn't wait to use it and here is what it led to..

Zoya Naturel Deux (2) Collection Swatches and Review

Happy Friday Everyone! Today I am excited to finally share with you my swatches of the Zoya Nautrel Deux (2) collection. This collection is a follow-up to the popular Naturel collection which came out early this year. Although the Deux collection has been available for a few months now, the Fall colors just begged me to delay swatching until the weather started to turn. I think now is the perfect time to show these beauties off to you...

Zoya Naturel Collection

Hi Everyone! Today I would like to show you the Zoya Naturel collection! As the name suggests, the collection features some beautiful natural shades. Sometimes in a world filled with bright colors and glitter, it is so refreshing to see such wonderful soft creamy shades. I found these to be great on their own and also perfect bases for nail art, which I will show you in the coming weeks. For now let's take a look at these beauties...

Color Club - Alter Ego: Reveal Your Mystery Collection

Thank you so much to everyone that stopped by this weekend to wish this blog a happy 1st birthday. It means so much to me!

Today I have for you swatches of half of Color Club Alter Ego collection. The collection consists of two sets of six colors. One half are the light colors in a set named Reveal Your Mystery. The other half are dark colors and the set is named Keep it Under Cover. I only own the Reveal Your Mystery set of the collection and it is what I'll be sharing with you today. The collection was released in Spring 2011 and just like all of the other Color Club collections that I own, I'm about a year behind in getting to play with them, but better late than never...

OPI - Holland - Part 1

I'm so excited to show you the first half of the new OPI Holland collection which is set to release next week. The collection has such a great mix of colors and finishes that I am having a hard time picking favorites. I'll just get on with the swatches and let you decide for yourself, just make sure to let me know what you think! :)

A Roll in the Hague
This is a bright orange cream. It is bright, but not neon bright. Covered well in two coats and was shiny enough that I didn't use a top coat. Application was very good. During cleanup, the polish removed easily, but flooded my cuticles with yellow. You can see it on my ring and pinkie fingers in these photos. I've never had this happen before. I didn't seem to stain my nails though (any more than they already are :D), but just in case, I would suggest a good base coat with this.

Did You 'Ear About Van Gogh?
A pale taupe with a hint of gray. OPI describes it as bisque and I would have to agree. Application was great, two coats for full coverage. No top coat on this one, it was shiny enough on it's own. Love the look of this...

Dutch'ya Just Love OPI?
A plum purple with a coppery shimmer. The shimmer is best seen in the sun and is pretty subtle indoors, but definitely still there. Such a gorgeous shimmer. I used two coats for full coverage and added a top coat on this one...

A closer look at the shimmer...

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes
A dark salmon color with a copper shimmer. The shimmer in this one is very subtle, but does give it a nice touch. I used two coats for full coverage and application was great. These are with a top coat...

The shimmer...

I Don't Give A Rotterdam!
A light periwinkle blue with a strong silver shimmer. The shimmer particles themselves are larger and almost look like tiny flakes up close. I applied two coats, but probably should have used three. When the light was directly behind, I could see through some spots. Nothing an extra coat couldn't fix. The color is just gorgeous....

I bit of close up to see the shimmer...

I Have a Herring Problem
This is a darker, slightly more blue version of the above. It was also a bit thicker and covered well in two coats. The shimmer in this more of a champagne gold giving it a warmer feeling. Another gorgeous polish in this collection...

I Don't Give A Rotterdam! vs. I Have a Herring Problem
Just for fun, a comparison of the two blue shimmers side by side so you can see the difference. I Have a Herring Problem is on the index and ring fingers and I Don't Give A Rotterdam! is on the middle and pinkie fingers...

A closer look... I Don't Give A Rotterdam! on the left and I Have a Herring Problem on the right...

I'd love know what you think of these!
