Base: none Color: four coats Zoya Vespa Top: none (unless otherwise indicated) Application: good (out of poor, average, good, excellent) The Zoya PixieDust polishes have looked the most appealing to me out of all of the new textured polishes all along, and the first three I swatched today didn’t let me down. Zoya’s version of […]

*Sent for review* Today I have swatches of the four neutral polishes Nicole by OPI added to it’s line-up for 2014. The neutral trend is still going strong and these four polishes are great options for work appropriate polish and also base colors for more elaborate looks. Nicole by OPI Yoga Then Yogurt is a […]
I took full advantage of the one sunny day we’ve had in what seems like months to swatch this delicious holo for you! I’ve had my eye on Smitten Polish Electric Lime for awhile now and finally managed to get it (along with a few other holo treats) a few weeks ago in a restock. […]

*sent for review* It was FREEZING when I took these pictures. Dear Polar Vortex, no one wants you here anymore! Luckily, these spring colors helped me remember that spring will probably come to CT this year. Probably. Let’s start off with Zoya Cole, an orange-y peach creme. Zoya describes this as “full-coverage peach whisper cream”. Peach whisper […]
I was hoping to swatch the Zoya Tickled collection today, but I have a massive cold on top of my already bad spring allergies. I honestly can’t muster up enough energy to swatch 6 polishes, take 80-something pictures, pictures about 18 pictures, crop at least 18 pictures, and write about 6 polishes. 6 isn’t even […]
*Sent for review* The last few days have finally started to feel like summer might come to CT this year after all, and I got to swatch the Zoya Tickled Summer collection. I’ve been dying to swatch these but it rained for I think three days straight last week and I felt these bright summer […]
*Purchased by me* This gorgeous swimming pool blue creamy holo is Smitten Polish Himalayan Blue Poppy. Himalayan Blue Poppy is actually from Smitten’s spring collection, but I am just getting around to wearing it now. I wore this the other day when I went kayaking at the beach- what a good choice for a beach […]

*Sent for review* I definitely did not intend to make you wait all week to see the second half of my OPI Nordic Collection swatches, but I came down with a cold or maybe flu this week and it really knocked me out. The summer is a terrible time to be sick, but I am […]
