OPI Pop Culture Collection

Hello everyone!

Today I have for you a new upcoming collection from OPI.

The POP Culture Collection consists of six new 3-dimensional nail effect infused with bubble like particles.

Basically these are textured polishes,  which I love! It doesn't means that I love every single shade in this collection but I don't hate them either.

I bought these from PolishPick.com.  

(This not an affiliated link and I'm not sponsored by OPI at this time.)

Following the instructions, I applied two coats on bare nails. They applied easily without issues.

Hate to Burst Your Bubble 

This is a bright warm yellow with gold shimmer. 

Pop Star

This is a light lilac with a blue shimmer to it. 

 Days of Pop

This is a sky blue with green shimmer. 

OPI Pops!

This is a coral/red with golden shimmer. 

Bumpy Road Ahead

This is a deep blue  with sky blue shimmer.

Pink Bubbly

This is a bright bubblegum pink with purple shimmer. 

What do you think of this collection?

I like it! 

I understand these are not everybody's cup of tea but if you like textured polishes, these are fun to play with although I prefer the Pixie Dust from ZOYA. 

My favorites from this set are Hate to Burst Your Bubble, Pink Bubbly and OPI Pops!

Thank you very much for reading!

ZOYA Enchanted Collection, Winter/Holiday 2016

***Press Sample***

Hello everyone!

Today I have for you the gorgeous collection from ZOYA for Winter/Holiday 2016. There are six polishes in the collection, with various finishes.

This is a very pretty collection, I think the shades are perfect for Winter and if you love the PixieDust finish as much as I do, this collection is for you.

Olivera can best be described as a spellbinding color-flip metallic with an indigo base and a green and purple shift. This is a stunning shade! The duo-chrome effect is very noticeable on the nail.  This was completely opaque in two coats. 


Saint is a periwinkle shade with a subtle magenta shimmer to it. This is two coats.

Elphie can best be described as a bewitching emerald green with a sugary green sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula. I applied two coats. 


Waverly can best be described as a brilliantly deep sapphire blue with blue sparkles in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula. This is two coats. 

Lorna by Zoya can be best described as a luscious berry with a sugary sparkle in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula. This is a very pretty shade opaque in two coats.

Alice by Zoya can best be described as a captivating periwinkle with magenta and blue sparkles in the exclusive Zoya PixieDust Matte Sparkle formula. This is two coats. 

The Enchanted Collection is now available at www.zoya.com and retails for $10 each or $60 for the set.

ZOYA - Magical Pixie, Summer 2014. Swatches and Review.

***Press Sample***

Hello!
Today I have for you the Magical Pixie Collection for Summer 2014 that ZOYA just released. These three polishes have very chunky glitter and a rough texture.

Arlo, this is a violet/magenta jelly base with matte holographic glitter. I applied two coats to obtain opacity.

Bar, this is a  nude jelly base packed with matte holographic glitter. This is two coats.

Ginni, this is a light pink jelly base loaded with matte holographic glitter. I did two coats.

All of these polishes have the same Holographic Magical Pixie formula, the glitters are the same on  all of them. They apply smoothly, with the first coat they looked very sheer but the opacity was built after the second coat.
I love textured polishes and these are stunning, at least for my taste. My favorite is Bar, it's a very sparkly nude polish.

These are available for pre-order here.

Thank you very much for reading!

Roughles Skittles

Hello everyone!
Spring is finally here and what a better way to welcome the warm days than wearing some pastel shades. I wanted to wear my Nicole by OPI Roughles but I wasn't sure what shade should I use so I decided to go for skittles.

On my ring finger I used I'm Stucco On You, on my middle finger I used On What Grounds? and the pink shade is Rock The Look.

I stamped using the plate Cici&Sisi 05 and added some flowers from the plate Cici&Sisi 03

Thank you so much for stopping by!

China Glaze - Sea Goddess Collection

 ***Press Sample***

Hello everyone!
These are the six matte and glistening glitters with the texture effect that China Glaze brings to us this time in the Sea Goddess Collection.

I didn't apply base or top coat for the swatches below.

Tail Me Something, is a shimmery purple texture shade loaded with purple and silver glitter. This was opaque in two coats. 

Shell We Dance, medium pink shimmery texture base with pink and silver glitter. This needed two coats to obtain opacity.

Seahorsin' Around, stunning teal texture polish packed with silver glitter. This is two coats.

Wish On A Starfish, it's gorgeous!!! Light shimmery pink base with golden shimmer to it. This was opaque in three thin coats.

Teal The Tide Turns, minty green texture base with teal glitter. It was a little bit shear and three thin coats were needed to obtain opacity.

Sand Dolla Make You Holla, withe/pinkish texture base with multicolored micro glitters in it.  It was a little bit sheer and I needed to apply three coats but it's manageable. 

These texture nail polishes are stunning, I love the shimmery/glittery base. If you like texture polishes, these are for you.

Available at Ulta, Sally Beauty and other beauty supply stores.  $7.50 MSRP.

China Glaze Crinkled Chrome Texture, Swacthes and Review of selected shades.

***Press Sample***

Hello!
Today I have for you swatches of three shades from the new China Glaze Crinkled Chrome collection. It's a little bit hard to describe the texture on these polishes, they all have the metallic chrome effect packed with bar glitter and mini beads to create the texture.
These applied nicely, you will get full opacity in just one coat but if you want to get the full texture effect I would recommend two coats. Always wait a couple of minutes between coats.

I didn't apply base or top coat for the swatches below.

I'm A Chromantic, this is a metallic pink shade. I applied two coats.

Crush, Crush, Baby,  a light lavender shade. This is two coats.

Aluminate, this is a silver foil shade. Two coat.

I'm still undecided about this collection, I don't know if I love or hate these polishes. It's very original from China Glaze creating this never seen before effect.
I love textured nail polishes but it's something about these that make them look weird, unfinished, like a messy manicure.
What do you think of this collection?

Thank you very much for reading!
