Kiko 341 with Different Dimension Black Dahlia

Hey guys!

Saira and I recently did a little swap and she sent me a few lovely Kiko's to add to my collection. This is Kiko 341, which would not at all photograph correctly. It was deeper and a little dustier in person. Beautiful! 2 coats. 

I did a quick gradient using Different Dimension Black Dahlia (however, my bottle label says Black Delilah). This was rather subtle but very pretty.

Do you love glitter gradients? I do! 

Talk to you soon!

Julie G Shark's Cove with Cameo Colours Right Round

Hey guys!

Did you have a nice weekend? We went to my nephew's birthday party on Saturday and then my brother's college graduation on Sunday! So lots of food and cake this weekend, lol. It was a busy weekend but a nice one :-) 

A while back, I was hunting for some polishes for a friend and happened to fall in love with one of the colors she was asking for (thanks Saira :-p). 

Julie G Shark's Cove is a lovely seafoamy/turquoise shimmer. This is 3 thin coats. Love love love this! It is so delicate and summery. 

Then, I was pleased to find that I won a polish from Cameo Colours through an Instagram contest and when I saw Right Round, I knew that's what I wanted for my prize :-) DO YOU SEE WHY!?

Naturally, I thought these would look fabulous together and yes, yes they do.

This is 2 coats of Right Round. I did have to fish the big circle glitters out a little bit, but I'd recommend leaving the bottle upside down for a few minutes before application and that should help.

Talk to you soon!

China Glaze OMG A UFO and Take A Trek

Hey guys!

Happy Friday!! What are you up to this weekend?

Today I have the 2 remaining Hologlam polishes I bought from the Spring 2013 China Glaze Hologlam release. 

OMG A UFO is a burnished green. I love this color, and I would DIE if it were as holo as I was expecting. BUT, it is still very pretty. This was 2 coats. 

With flash:

Take A Trek is a pretty steel blue. Again, 2 coats.

 With Flash:

Different Dimension Wide Awake with Emily de Molly Super Vixen

Hey guys!

Different Dimension Wide Awake is a light pink scattered holo. I used 3 thin coats here. 

Then, I added 2 coats of Emily de Molly Super Vixen because CIRCLE GLITTER! This is one of my first 2 Emily de Molly's and I lurve them. I love circle glitter, in case you were wondering :-p

What do you think, is glitter on top of holo too much? I say "Never!"

Kiko Sugar Mat 640, 645, & 646

Hey guys!

My biffle Amanda sent me a few of the Kiko Texture polishes and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed them! 

First, I wore 640 (the orange) and 645 (burgundy) as a full manicure. This orange color kills me... I love it shiny, matte, textured... So so pretty! 

I used 3 coats of each of these. They dry fairly quickly. 

Kiko 646 is a black texture with silver glitter. This would look amazeballs with a topcoat but I left well enough alone and wore it textured. I used 3 coats.

What do you think of all of these textured polishes we are seeing lately? I was hesitant to wear them but I'm kind of liking the texture more than I thought I would!

Talk to you soon!

Zoya Dotticure

Hey guys!

Here's a quick dotticure I did using Zoya Darcy, Yana, Rocky, and Neely! So fun! Both hands have a coat of KBShimmer Clearly On Top! 

I alternated the base color on the right hand, using Neely as the base color.

Dots dots dots dots dots dots! Do you love dots?

Zoya Irresistible and Stunning Swatches - My Picks!

Hey guys! How was your weekend? Mine was great, our baby shower was yesterday and it was so nice! It was at a tea house, so it was super cute and adorable and vintage looking. Love!

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, since there are quite a few pictures in this post! These are my picks from the summer release from Zoya, the Irresistible Collection and the Stunning Collection! So I'm not repeating myself, these were all 2 easy coats, with a few noted exceptions.

First, Josie, a grass green creme polish. I love this color! It's a beautiful summery green!

 Thandie is a creamy orange. Pardon the ridges on my nails... whoops. I love oranges like this; fun but not safety cone orange :-)

Darcy is a bright yellow! I am one of those people that loves yellow so I'm always excited to see fun yellow polish. This was 3 coats, as it was a little streaky after two. The first picture is with flash, the second without.

Rocky, a dusty blue creme. LOVE!!! Blue is my favorite color and I definitely have a lot of blue polish but I can't help it. It calls to me! LOL

Rikki is a green foil. I'm not usually a foil person but I really liked the swatches I was seeing of this and I'm glad I got it. It's a little bit robot-y :-)

Amy is a gorgeous orange metallic/foil. I love love love love this one. This kind of orange just makes my heart palpitate, lol!

Finally, Yana. This fun pink is rather punchy and reminds me of watermelon Laffy Taffy. Mmmm! I'm glad I don't have a lot of scented nail polish; I might eat it! LOL There is a slight shimmer in this but I didn't really see it on the nail. Luckily, the color is lovely enough that it doesn't even need the shimmer :-)

So there ya have it. My picks from the Zoya summer releases. Did you grab any from these collections? Which were your favorites?

Talk to you soon!
