Zoya Arizona

I knew when I was going to purchase colors from Zoya's Beach and Surf Collection that Arizona was going to be a must (on the Beach side of the Collection).  I just loved the soft, creamy orange color and had to make it mine.  While I am not disappointed in the color, I was disappointed in the application.  You might be able to see the streaks in the pictures, but I felt as I was painted, I kept getting bald spots and streaks in my application--which I HATE.  It might not be too noticeable to you, but if I can notice it, I'm not happy.  Oh well, I think I'll just have to be cognizant of that when applying it for future manicures.  My photos show three coats.

Zoya Alegra

I was drawn to this color at a recent trip to Ulta.  From Zoya's Sparkle Collection, this is a sparkly, fuchsia pink with red and purple undertones.  Application was good and I have it painted in three coats.  I don't think the pictures do it justice, it's a looker.

China Glaze Attraction

Check out my iPolished blog post on my thoughts on China Glaze's Magnetix Collection HERE.  Opacity is great.  One coat is nearly enough, but two always makes a better magnetic polish look.  I'm showing you all three of the magnets from China Glaze, plus two coats of polish before it's magnetized.

OPI A Roll In The Hague

So glad for spring and brighter colors. This color is from OPI's Holland Collection  I was immediately attracted to this color, even if I'm not a huge fan always of OPI.  The color was clear as the bottle and I was very happy with the color.  (I'm not a fan of the crazy big brush OPI uses; I don't think it is the best for the cuticle detail).  This is three coats.  I'm not sure how true the color is, but it's a great, bright tangerine.

Orly Au Champagne

This color is from Orly's Holiday Soireé Collection.  I picked this color up on a whim at Sally's and was surprised by it.  First, I had no idea it was a satin finish, and I really like that.  I also was pleasantly happy with it's opaqueness.  It was a great, solid pearl white.  I have it painted here in three coats.

Ulta Alter Ego

I got this color purely because I needed to pick a color to fulfill a coupon at Ulta.  I wasn't sold on it in the bottle, but after I put it on, I really liked it.  The bottle makes it seem more muted, but on the nail it was nice and bright and metallic.  It had great application and is painted in three coats for pictures.

Ulta After Party

I feel like this is one of my original colors in my vast collection of polishes. Like when my collection had 30 polishes and not 200. But since it was an original, it dried up and needed replacing. It's a great holiday, winter-esqe color because of the silver and red sparkles. It's pretty dense and very sparkly (especially after a top coat-which is not used in these photos). I've painted three coats for the pics.

Zoya Apple

Apple is from Zoya's Sunshine Collection and is perfectly named for its likeness to green apples. It's shimmery and fun, however it's a bit light on application. I have painted three coats and you can still see it's a bit on the sheer side.

Zoya Areej

This color is from the Zoya Summertime Collection. It has good application and opacity; shown here in three coats.
