Zoya Surf Collection Swatches

Zoya’s Surf Collection is for those of you who want lots of shimmer in a nail polish. I am not one of those, but I must admit that these would look great for a night out. They have tons of shimmer and are quite flashy. Each colour has lots of metallic micro glitter in it [...]

OPI DS Bold Swatch

Check it out. One coat goes you a little sparkle and two would give you a lot. I was in the mood for black nails so I paired this with YSL Shiny Black nail polish and was happy with the touch of festive glitter. It didn’t chip off as much as two coats would have [...]

Swatch: Dior Holiday 2011 Exquis

Dior’s Holiday 2011 polishes from their Merveille collection has something for everyone. It has neutrals, brights, and a dark vampy colour too!  Each shade has very fine gold shimmer in it which barely translates on the nail.  You’ll see it more in the bottle than you will on your nail. LOVE this golden khaki colour [...]

Swatch: OPI Inspired By the Muppets Designer, De Better!

Absolutely LOVE this colour, especially for the holidays! Designer, De Better is a foil metallic that has a neutral beige beige and lots of pink glitter.  It is jam packed.  2 coats gave me opaque coverage, but the nails you’re looking at just have one coat of the polish, because I felt that was enough. [...]

Swatch: Star in the S-Kylie

Ok, this is the best colour from the Nicole by OPI Kardashian Kollection. I know I’ve said that for the other sparkly polishes, but this time I’m sticking to this one. It’s partly because it looks like I made the polish myself at home, and partly because I got SO MANY compliments on it. Everyone [...]

Kardashian Kolors Swatch: My Empire…My Rules

I gotta say that this is one of the more boring colours from the Kardashian collection of Nicole by OPI colours.  My Empire…My Rules is described as a taupe but to me it looks more grey.  The grey is neither dark nor light, and is kind of flat.  I wasn’t a fan but I’m guessing [...]

Kardashian Kolors Swatch: All Kendall-ed Up

You can just tell by looking at my nails that this colour is a keeper. The application was super smooth – in fact, I can’t remember the last time I used a nail polish that went on this beautifully! I did get full coverage in 2 coats, but I wanted a thicker, more opaque, and [...]

Swatch – Wear Something Spar-Kylie from Kardashian Kolors collection

So I wasn’t in love with Kim-pletely in Love and It’s All About The Glam because I found the shades to be slightly streaky and very hard to get good coverage. But I LOVE Wear Something Spar-Kylie!  The pictures you see are just two coats of the polish and I actually did get full glitter [...]

Swatch: Zoya Nimue

Honestly, I thought I was in love with the Zoya Smoke collection because it’s all creams, but I actually love its sister collection “Mirrors” too. The colours are so wearable and pretty though they’re slightly too colourful compared to the nudes we’ve been seeing this season. All the same: Nimue is a lovely steely lilac [...]
