polishSWATCHES: Zoya Sparkle Collection Ivanka + Nidhi + MiMi + Gilda + Alegra

I decided to go ahead and share the rest of the swatches I needed to post of the Zoya Sparkle Collection today due to numerous requests I had for certain colors. So, here you go ladies... Enjoy! :) On my previous post showcasing Charla from this collection I was asked the question "how easy are the polishes to remove?" . I just wanted to answer and state that these polishes are actually quite easy to remove.

If you take your removal pad or cotton ball and saturate it with remover, then let it sit on the nail a few minutes, and make a downward sweep down the nail while gently moving side to side... most of the polish should come off in that one sweep. If you still have polish left just repeat the steps and that should remove the polish easily without getting glitter all over your skin.

polishSWATCHES: China Glaze Flying Dragon

polishSWATCHES: China Glaze Flying Dragon

My 11 yr old daughter is absolutely in love with this color and is actually the reason I'm wearing it today. I arranged for my hubby's friends to come over and cheer him up while me and my girls snuck away for a little "girl time."

While I was scanning my collection for a polish to wear today my daughter with big wide eyes picked this one. Then haggled me for about 30 minutes as to why I should let her have it instead, lol.

The reasons she gave as to why she should be the new owner ranged from I don't wear it enough, to her favorite color is purple, to I already have too many polishes in my collection.

Since it's really hard for me to part ways with any of my polishes... I just figured it would be easier for me to get her own bottle insead. :) Smart mommy!

polishSWATCHES: OPI Meet Me On A Star Ferry

polishSWATCHES: OPI Meet Me On A Star Ferry

When I posted the in-store picture of OPI's Hong Kong collection in the early part of January, at first glance I knew Meet Me On A Star Ferry was going to be one of the first colors I swatched. And as I eagerly opened up my reserved package inside the store and did a quick rundown of all the polishes, another patron and the cashier both commented on this particular polish first. This did nothing but confirm for me that Meet Me On A Star Ferry just may be the star out the bunch... at least for me as well as them, lol.

I really wish OPI had released this shade back in the fall. Because though I feel that Meet Me On A Star Ferry is an attractive and eye grabbing shade, to me it's just not a color that screams Spring and Summer are on the way. Yet I still seem to love the shade anyway, it's gorgeous!

True to OPI form applying this polish was a cinch, though you just might have a tad bit of streaking due to the shimmer. The pictures above are all with my normal 2 coats, but I think that applying 3 will be my normal with this particular polish.

With the anticipation and excitement of the release of this collection...

Have you made up your mind which ones you're going to get if any?

polishSWATCHES: Zoya Reverie Nail Polish in Adina+Happi+Reece

I finally said to heck with this dreary weather and decided that I would go ahead and post pictures of my first three polish choices from the Zoya Reverie nail polish collection. First off I have to say that these polishes apply like a dream, but be forewarned... either use speed dry or give them the allotted time needed to dry thoroughly or run the risk of ruining your beautiful manicure like I did.

polishSWATCHES: Zoya Reverie Nail Polish in Adina+Happi+Reece

This wonderful polish here is Reece. I'm sure you're already had the pleasure of seeing swatches on other blogs, but I wanted to show from a brown girl perspective how gorgeous this color looks against our skin. It's not your average pink toned polish, as this little beauty has beautiful irridescent golden tones infused within.

This lovely polish here is Happi. A beautiful pink, that at first glance may shy some of you away if you're a brown girl, but trust me when I say take a chance! It's so pretty! Again, infused with those beautiful iridescent gold sparkles, this color is subject to get a lot of wear from me for Spring.

Ahhh... and this plum beauty right here is Adina. Yes, the absolute stunner in the bunch according to most. I definitely have to agree that this color is the attention grabber and I am absolutely in love with the shade and how it looks on me. I put it on and couldn't stop myself from staring... the duo chrome effect just had me mesmerized.

All of these colors went on wonderfully with two coats of polish and the formulation is an absolute dream to apply. Tomorrow I hope to have up the other three colors in the collection... Gwin, Lana, and Laney for you to view.

If you have been holding out or debating on whether or not you should grab this collection, let me help you out and say... do! I couldn't be anymore pleased than I am with the polishes and I'm really disappointed to think about how I might have missed out on them.

XoxOxo,
