gold - Lucy's Stash

Hello lovelies,

I've got some more awesome Shimmer polishes to show you! Shimmer polish is well-known for its pretty glitter bombs and I am always amazed to see more and more amazing combinations! So here they are:

Karen - purple, blue, silver and holo glitter in a lightly tinted base. Karen is girly purple with flashes of blue glitter and looks great layered over pinks and purples. I have applied one coat over Dermelect Moxie. The glitter density is very nice but not dense enough for full coverage in two coats. It dries fast but I needed topcoat to smooth the surface.

Liana - black, dark blue, holo, silver glitter in a grey tinted base. This pretty blue and black glitter combo has just the good amount of gold. The bottle is packed with glitter and it could possibly be opaque in two coats. I have chosen to layer it instead though, I have applied one coat over Zoya Rocky. It applied well and dried fast and slightly gritty.

Amy - light blue, red, pale gold and green in a light pink tinted base. This glitter would work nicely with many different colour bases. I have layered one coat over Zoya Micky. It is also great for gradients (as are most of Shimmer polishes). It applied well and dried fast.

Erica - pea green, holographic, gold and teal glitter in a clear base. This manicure evokes St. Patrick's to me, it has lovely flashes of green and gold. I have applied one coat of Erica over Zoya Josie. It dried fast and gritty so I've applied thick coat of topcoat.

Linna - green, teal, red, gold, orange and blue glitter in a clear base. This colour combo is mostly teal with hints of green and red glitter. I have applied one coat of Linna over Dermelect Renegade. One coat provided nice glitter coverage. I didn't experience any problems with application and it dried fast.

So that was another batch of Shimmer Polish swatches. They all have pretty much the same formula that dries fast and applies well. I have plenty more to show you so stay tuned!

Hello lovelies,

It's time for Zoya Summer collection! This is just first half called Irresistible which offers six shades with shiny foil-like finish.

Amy - bright orange foil with gold foil flecks. It's a pretty colour that will certainly draw attention to your nails! It reminds me of Summer sunset.. It applied very easily and the formula was nice. I needed two coats for full coverage.

Tinsley - rose pink foil base with lots of gold foil particles. This is a really interesting polish, something I haven't seen in a while. The polish colour kind of changes in different light. Sometimes is more rose coloured and sometimes the gold in it really sparkles. I'm wearing two coats and the formula was easy to apply.

Bobbi - magenta purple base with silver foil particles. This is my favourite shade of the whole collection. It's a nice feminine colour that reminds me of many pretty flowers. I needed two coats for full coverage.

Kerry - bright gold foil-like finish. Very, very nice gold shade which is not leaning towards orange, I like that. It applied just fine and I needed two thicker coats as Kerry is a little bit sheerer than the other shades.

Rikki - pea green base with gold foil particles. I find it to be quite unique shade because the gold particles have slightly coppery colour. I needed just two coats for full coverage.

Hazel - light denim blue foil base with old gold foil flecks. This type of blue isn't my cup of tea but overall it is a nice shade. it applied well and two coats were enough for full opacity.

There are some nice shades in this part of the collection. My top picks are Bobbi and Tinsley. All polishes had very easy-to-apply formula and were opaque in two coats. The drying time was rather average as the foil finish takes a bit longer.

Zoya polishes are available at zoya.com (US) and in UK I know about Amarya.co.uk that carries them as well.
