Zoya Ivanka

I've always wanted this color from Zoya since the Sparkle Collection came out, but have only recently purchased it when I had a coupon for Ulta.  It is a very pretty emerald sparkle, but for me, I felt like it was not as opaque as I wanted it.  I have it shown here in three coats.

China Glaze Instant Chemistry

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. Here is the polish with and without being magnetized.

OPI I Have A Herring Problem

From the Holland collection, this is a dusty blue with gold micro glitter.  It is a nice hue with decent application.  But as with most OPI polish, I feel it always needs three coats for opacity I'm comfortable with.  It is shown as such:

Zoya Isla

Such a great red.  She is from Zoya's Truth Collection and is described as a blackened Red because it definitely darkens on the sides away from the light.  It is so pretty, pictures don't do it justice.  Plus, she has great application.  Three coats of polish looks like this:




China Glaze Icicle

This year's holiday collection from China Glaze Let It Snowbrings back an old familiar.  This color is almost an exact duplicate to last years Cheers To You.  However, I don't mind.  My bottle of Cheers To You is almost gone I use it so much, that I'm glad to replace it with this year's version.  Application is good, very opaque, but you have to be careful to let it fully dry between coats or else you can get bald spots pulled from over applying.  I have the color shown in three coats.

Manicure tip: This silver is great to put under more sheer water marble colors for added dimension.

China Glaze In The Lime Light

This is a great green neon from the China Glaze core line. It has a hint of shimmer in the color. It dries matte like most neons do. Application is opaque in three coats as seen here.

Orly It's Not Rocket Science

This is an awesome color from the Cosmic FX Collection from Orly. It's claimed to be a multi-dimensional polish that reflects light in different ways. It really does look different depending on the light and the view of the nail. I love it so very much! Here it is shown in three coats!
