Amber Rose at Christian Sirano: Dupe Her Polish

As the paparazzi swarmed to take pictures of Amber Rose sitting front row at the Christian Sirano fashion show during New York Fashion for Fall 2010 so we could pick apart what label she was wearing or whose shoes she had on, I was busy focusing on the silver foil colored nail polish she was rocking.

Knowing that metallics are and will continue to be a huge nail trend for seasons to come which is now largely thanks to Minx, I was busy compiling an assortment of polishes that can easily serve as dupes for this particular color.

First up is CND's Silver Chrome

described as a molten chromed finish nail color

Second is Essie's Loophole

Third is Zoya's Trixie

and Fourth... Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear Nail Color in Celeb City

available at most local drugstores for about $2.99.

Orly is also releasing a silver polish named Shine in it's Foil FX collection which is scheduled to be available in March.

Wearing a foil textured polish is one of the easiest ways to achieve the look of a Minx manicure without that $40 to $50 price tag. Not only does it add glitz and glam to your nails, but the colors generally compliment any wardrobe choice.

Do you currently have a foil polish in your collection or have the intent to add one this season?

So tonight, today me and my wonderful hubby had the opportunity to enjoy a night on the town and spend some much needed time together. Today was such a beautiful day here today that we couldn't bear to spend our time in the house. We laughed, we loved, we ate till we were full... and we enjoyed the city lights in our city. Thank goodness I had the foresight to put on my party nails, because we TORE UP the town tonight, lol. Yeah, we ran this townnn! Sorry Rihanna and Jay... new sheriff's in town.

As promised, here are the other three nail polishes from the Zoya Reverie collection for you to view. And just like the previous three these too are some really great colors for Spring.

polishSWATCHES: Zoya Reverie Nail Polish Gwin+Lana+Laney

Lana is said to be a rich red metallic and boy is this statement true! Fiery and bright this color is gorgeous! That's a lot to be said coming from me... considering I'm not really that into reds. Not really a true red due to it's orange undertone, but it does have that fiery red look to it. I think I'm fond of this particular shade because of the gold undertones that are present. Literally I was drawn to this color on my nails once it was swatched. Definitely the one I'm partial to out of this bunch.

Laney is described as a silver moonlit metallic with gorgeous subtle duo chrome undertones. Laney applies nicely with two coats, but you may experience a little bit of streaking due to the metallic chrome finish and might consider going with three coats instead. This is something that I have found to be common with most chrome finishes, particularly with silvers and golds.

Gwin has been stated to be a sunny melon metallic, but I like to describe it as a nice burnt orange shade. This color pops against my warm skin tone and is a shade of orange that many brown skinned beauties would probably add to their collection. Due to the fact that orangey corals look really nice on warmer skin tones this color probably runeths over in my collection, right there next to the purples.

If I was asked to pick my top three favorites in the Zoya Reverie collection I would have to name Adina, Reece, and Lana as my picks. All of the colors were surprisingly very nice shades on me, but those were the three that really stood out once I swatched them and had all the colors on. I also really have a soft spot for Happi, but I was impressed with the fact that Zoya created Lana- a red that I like, so that's why it made the top three instead.

Judging from the swatches from both of the Zoya Reverie collection posts, which of the colors make your top three?
