Two Gypsies Nail Lacquer Reviews & Swatches

Hi there everyone! I have a brand spanking new brand to share with you all today; Two Gypsies Nail Lacquer. They open up their online store today and have some great formulas and amazing colors to start off with! :D

Press Sample

 Blue Moon contains red, blue and silver glitters in a deep blue jelly base. Shown is 3 coats with top coat.

 This polish is so dreamy to look at! :) The red glitters add a nice pop of color against the blue and everything goes together perfectly. It was a tad sheerer than I was expecting, so for my last coat I was a little heavier handed with the coats than normal. Overall though, formula was easy to work with and I had no problems getting out any glitter or a problem with dry time. :)

 Chilean Chocolate has a red-brown base color with a scattered holographic finish. All nails are 2 coats with top coat.

Warning: You cannot eat your nails with Chilean Chocolate on, even though you will want to! :P Really though, it looks good enough to eat! I've never seen a polish like this, the rich base color is just beautiful and everyone is a sucker for holos. ;) Formula was perfection, just like the color!

 Lake Glass is a green jelly with gold, silver and blue glitters. For these photos I used 3 coats with top coat.

 Yet again another gorgeous polish! I love the micro-sized glitters in this polish because they give it a really unique overall look and help to make it look like it's namesake. No complaints about the formula for this polish either! :)

 Wicked has blue-brown base with blue, gold, silver and red glitters.  All nails are 3 coats with top coat. 

The glitter in Wicked a little more sparse than the other 2 glitter polishes in this post. That's ok though, I know not everyone loves a ton of glitter and prefers the accented look. All of the colors add a nice pop to the base color, which is another unique color on it's own. :) Formula was just a tad thick, but very easy to work with and even though the glitter was spares, I still got a nice assortment on each nail. :)

Two Gypsies Nail Lacquer opens their shop today! Make sure to follow their Facebook page for more information! :)

Zoya Zenith Collection Reviews & Swatches

Morning everyone! I have the most recent collection from Zoya to share with you all today. :) Crazy that holiday collections are already coming out and it's not even Halloween yet! I'll go with it though because I'm loving the cooler weather we've had here lately. ;)

Press Sample

 Belinda is described as a cosmic purple metallic. All nail are 2 coats with top coat.

 Ahhhh this polish is gorgeous!! Formula was a little on the thin side, but it wasn't hard to work with. This is a must have in my book! ;)

 Cassedy is a metallic pewter polish. Shown is 2 coats with top coat.

 I wasn't too excited about this polish, against the others in the collection. It is a nice color, don't get me wrong, just nothing jumped out at me when I saw it and I felt the same with it on the nail. Formula was good, but as with all metallics I loathe the clean up process because I get shimmer everywhere. >_<

Dream is a deep blue with scattered holographic flakes. For these photos I used 3 coats with top coat.  

I thought this would be a dupe for LA Girl Brilliant Blue and while I haven't done a side by side swatches, it does seem a tad brighter and seems to have a lot more flakes from comparing the bottles. Even if they were the same, it's worth having an extra of such a gorgeous polish! :) Formula was again easy to work.

 Mosheen has a icy blue base with iridescent bar and hex glitters.  All nails are 1 coat over 2 coats of Zoya Rocky.  

 I really wasn't a huge fan of Mosheen over the polishes from this collection, so I had to go with one of my favorite Zoyas. ;) The mixture seems so simple, yet it's really stunning! Formula was a tad thick, but easy to work with and I got a ton of glitter in just one coat. :)

 Payton is described as a galactic cranberry with holographic glitter.  Shown is 2 coats with top coat.

 I know this is winter collection, but Payton is an awesome fall color as well! :) The base is a little more opaque than the other colors from Zoya like this, so the holographic flakes don't shine through as well. Still it's a stunning color and I think another must have. ;)

 Seraphina is a grey/silver metallic. Here I used 3 coats with top coat.

 Seraphina did surprise me because when I first saw pictures I thought for sure I wasn't going to like it. I was proven wrong though! ;) It reminds me of snow and since I love snow, that's probably why I fell in love with it. :P It starts out pretty sheer, but builds up nicely. Still I hate the clean up when it comes to metallics, I think I will let this one slide though. ;)

With the exception of Cassedy, I can't really choose only a few of these polishes that you "need", because you need them all! :P 

This collection is available now through Zoya.com and soon at Zoya retailers. Make sure to follow Zoya on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and their blog for information about new upcoming colors and deals!

Lynnderella Children of the Candy Corn 3, Contessa Zucca Pumpkina, Lucky Numbers, Something Old... & When We Were Little

I'm so behind on Lynnderella swatches! >_< I do apologize as I've been letting the stress from the upcoming move and the insanity my son brings me daily, get in the way of time for posting. I'm devoting all day to posts and editing my photos (which doesn't sound like a lot when all I do is crop and watermark, but I take tons of pictures and have to go through and find my favorites), in hopes to catch up! :)

Children of the Candy Corn 3 contains satin and matte orange, yellow and white in a gold-shimmered clear base. All nails are 2 coats of 3 coat of Linda Johansen Razzle Dazzle.

 Waiter! There are 4-legged octopi swimming in my candy corn! Haha :P I'll never see them as anything different, I'm afraid!  I love how Children of the Candy Corn has evolved with each version and this one is no different, even if I do have octopi swimming in my candy corn. ;)

Contessa Zucca Pumpkina has metallic, neon and satin orange glitters accented with iridescent green and neon in clear peridot-shimmered base. These photos show 2 coats over 3 coats of Zoya Seraphina and an accent nail of 2 coats over 2 coats of Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris.

 I was afriad when I layered this over Zoya Seraphina my camera wouldn't capture the shimmer and I was right! >_< The two actually worked amazing together in person, but I layered it over black so you could really see all the shimmer Contessa Zucca Pumpkina has to offer! ;) The shimmer over Seraphina did come alive in my close up shots below at least! :)

Lucky Number is described as a shimmering sheer red-pink-gold pink base with different shapes and sizes of red and black glitter. Shown is 2 coats over 2 coats of Zoya Cassedy.

 Even though it isn't technically considered a "lucky number" my favorite number is 5. Not sure why, but I've always done things in groups of 5 (yes, yes I know this post has 6 polishes *twitch*) and been "drawn" to that number. There's your random factoid about me for the day. ;) 

Something Old... is a mixture of assorted whites accented with pastel yellow, soft pink glitter and gold holographic microglitter in a white-pink- and gold-shimmered clear base. All nails are 2 coats of Something Old... over 1 coat of Cult Nails Nevermore.

 I usually try to use something other than basic black to show off polishes for a full mani, though I did have a reason for using it here. Nothing brought out the shimmer quite like black did! :) Seriously look at that amazing shimmer and how it popped over black! Sometimes there is a reason to just back to a basic color like black and I think this polish is one of them. :)

When We Were Little  has assorted small bright and neon glitters in a clear multishimmered base.Here I layered 2 coats of When We Were Little over 2 coats of Zoya Dream.

 Lynn never disappoints with multi-glitter neon mixes, am I right?! Sadly, the shimmer in this polish got a little lost using Dream as my base color. :/ You can never go wrong with a fun, Lynnderella multi-glitter mix though, shimmer or not. ;)

CoverGirl Pyro Pink, Rouge Red, Seared Bronze & Sulfur Blaze

Evening all! I'm behind as always. >_< I haven't been able to find all 9 of the CoverGirl polishes from their recent Hunger Games Catching Fire collection, only these 4. :( Hopefully soon a store around me will get the remaining colors in. Till then, here are the 4 I have found! :)

Pyro Pink is a mauvey-pink with silver shimmer. All nails are 3 coats with top coat. 

This color gives me what I call "death hands", where it makes my skin look, well...deathly. For this reason I don't really like it. I think it would look amazing on a darker skin tone instead of mine. ;)

Rouge Red is an orange-red with golden glass fleck. Here is 3 coats with top coat.

My nails are on fiiiiiirre! My first and only thought when I put this on! :P Seriously though, you are sure to stand out with Rouge Red on your nails! 

Seared Bronze has a golden brown base color with olive and red shimmer. All nails are 2 coat with top coat.

 I'm a little on the fence about this color. It's got a lot going on, but I'm not sure if it's a "me" color. 

Sulfur Blaze has a bright yellow base with yellow glass fleck. Shown is 3 coats with top coat.

I'm not normally a fan of yellows, but this one is amazing! Love everything about it! So give it a shot even if you dislike yellow. ;)

I've only heard of this collection being in stores at Walgreens (where I found these) and Meijer, but hopefully more places will start popping up with them! :) Find CoverGirl on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, Tumblr and Instagram
