Zoya's Godiva

I thought I would cleanse my palate for the upcoming #summernorules nail art challenge! I chose Zoya's Godiva, a Pixie Dust from early 2013.  It is a textured nude/beige that is rather sheer, achieving opacity with 3 coats.  I love the sparkle :)

#30DaysofColourChallenge - TEXTURED

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 14 is a textured polish and this is Zoya's Carter.  Carter is part of Zoya's 2013 Fall collection.  It is a rich purple textured polish with pink/purple 'pixie dust.'  It is a bit on the thick side, but I used 2 coats with no problems.  This polish is a stunner!

#30DaysofColourChallenge - GREY

This is a month long swatch challenge for April.  A different manicure every day!

Day 10 is grey and I chose another Pixie Dust from Zoya...this is London.  It is part of the 2013 Spring Collection.  As with most of the Pixie Dusts it was opaque with 2 coats. This one looks so much better in person, the mico silver glitter is stunning.

Zoya's Savita

I'm back!  Sorry for being MIA, but 'life' kind of got in the way of my Polish Obsession!

I have had Savita for over 6 months, it has been hidden in the little black box it came in...duh!  The box was so pretty I thought I would just leave it there and not put it with my other pretties.  Anyway, it is a beauty.

Savita is part of Zoya’s Matte Velvet Collection which they re-released this Fall.  It is a satin matte purple with a slight shimmer.  Two coats and it was completely opaque!



So happy to be back blogging and what a way to re-start then with my favourite colour!!

Loaded Lacquer's Giddy Up

I was so excited when I received my package from Loaded Lacquer.  The first polish that caught my eye was Giddy Up.  It is a gorgeous clear based glitter consisting of different sized holographic silver hex, berry pink hex, dark pink hex, lilac hex, holographic magenta hex, and blue/gray hex.  Zoya's Reagan is on my middle finger.  All I can say is GORGEOUS!!!

#springnorules - GREEN !!

It's only 3 more days until Spring...let's hope the weather turns more Spring-like soon.  Green is the first theme of the Spring Thaw Nail Art Challenge!  I used my fav textured polishes, Zoya Pixie Dusts, in Chita and Vespa.  With these 2 beauties I don't think nail art is necessary...the polish says it all.






Up next is Spring Dotticure on Thursday March 20th ;)  Here is the schedule for the challenge, if you are interested...remember no rules!
