Hello lovelies,

Today I want to show you Zoya's Naturel Collection that has been introduced in January 2014 and yes, I am very late with the swatches. The polishes are not sent directly to me so it takes a while for them to reach me, that's why my reviews are always a bit late. I still hope you'll enjoy my swatches.

"The Zoya Nail Polish Naturel collection masters delicate tone on tone color with six new, full-coverage (opaque) neutral nudes with a pink undertone, that can be worn beautifully alone or stunningly together to create modern tonal accents."

Chantal - French Vanilla Cream. Chantal is light beige cream with yellow undertones that looked quite nice on me. I've applied two slightly thicker coats because the polish wasn't that opaque. It applied well and I'm wearing topcoat. Check our bridal nail art design I did with Chantal.

Taylor - Light Toffee Cream. Zoya's shade description is quite fitting but I'd rather call it pastel toffee shade. It applied well and had excellent pigmentation. All I needed were two thin coats for full coverage.

Rue - Boudoir Blush Cream. Rue such a gorgeous pastel mauve shade, very feminine. The formula was very good and nice to apply and two coats were fully opaque. I'm wearing topcoat as well.

Bridgitte - Bombshell Mauve Cream. Now we're coming onto the purple shades that I love! Bridgitte is beautiful light mauve that has great formula. I've applied two regular coats for full coverage.

Odette - Sultry Maroon Purple Cream. Zoya says it's maroon but I say it's purple ;) Maroon is reddish brown, right? Nevertheless, it is a gorgeous shade. Unfortunately the formula is not as good as the rest of the shades. I find it to be quite watery and runny and I needed two thick coats for full coverage.

Normani - Sable Mauve Cream. Mmmm..sable mauve...I think it's more like dark dusty purple? It applied easily and was well-pigmented so I needed just two regular coats.

I'm so glad Zoya has designed another collection with office-friendly shades and I have many favourites in this one. All polishes applied nicely and dried fast. The pigmentation varied but generally most of them were opaque in two regular coats. I'm wearing topcoat over all shades but they dried by themselves quite fast and smooth.

Zoya polishes are available at Zoya.com (US), at The Nail & Beauty Link (UK) and at Nail Polish Direct (UK).

Hello lovelies,

Swiss indie polish brand Cadillacquer has recently released a new collection inspired by Seek The Fire video game and today I will show you swatches of four shades.

I have reviewed for Cadillacquer before, you can find swatches of Breaking Bad Collection here and here and other polishes here and here.

Seek The Fire - denim blue crelly base with red glitter. IMO this is the most interesting shade from the whole collection..at least for me. I love the contrast of blue and red very much, it makes the polish unusual. I've applied two thicker coats to get full coverage. The polish dries a bit gritty because of the glitter so I've applied topcoat.

The Woods - green base with gold shimmer and fine flakies. This green seems quite cool-toned to me despite the fine gold shimmer. The formula was easy to apply but I needed two thicker coats for perfect opacity. It dried fast and smooth but I still applied topcoat.

Beyond The Walls - mushroom brown base with iridescent blue and gold sparkles. This shade is looks very elegant in real life, kind of like cool-toned taupe. It applied nicely and two regular coats were fully opaque. The polish dried fast but not completely smooth so I've applied topcoat.

She’s One Of A Kind - pastel grey with magenta shimmer. I really liked this shade, especially with matte topcoat (coming soon ;). It applied well but I needed two thick coats or you could do three thin coats. I just don't like doing three coats. The drying time was good too and I'm wearing topcoat.

Have you seen Cadillacquer Seek The Fire collection before? It is inspired by video game "The Last of Us". They all had good formula and I haven't encountered any major problems.

If you'd like to get your hands on Cadillacquer polishes you can purchase them directly at Cadillacquer website and at various international stocklists.
