Zoya Entice Collection

Tuesday, September 2, 2014 9/02/2014 07:17:00 PM

*PR Sample

Zoya's Fall Collection comes in two parts, I've already shown you Ignite, the metallic half of the collection. Today, I have Entice to show you. These six polishes are all beautiful cremes. They apply wonderfully and are perfect colors for the fall.

Up first is Nyssa. Nyssa is described as a "milk chocolate brown" which gave me full coverage in 2 coats.

Genevieve is a "cool leather gray" which I adore. This was opaque in just two coats.

Ryan is a "classic indigo" which took three thin coats to be fully opaque. This polish did stain the skin around my nails, so be careful during application.

Next up is Margo. A "modern red plum" Margo is one of my favorites from this collection. It took 3 coats for her to be fully opaque.

Claire is a "warm rich burgundy" which was opaque in 3 coats. Claire reads as a brick red on me and I love it.

Finally we have Veronica. Veronica gave full coverage in 3 coats and is described as "brilliant red wine."

Overall I loved these beautiful cremes. I said it last time, I'll say it again, I hate that Zoya always doubles down on reds/pinks in their collections. It would have been nice to see a green or a true purple, but these are all still really pretty.

Which colors are your favorite? Mine are Margo and Genevieve.

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#StampingSaturday: Banksy Inspired

Saturday, August 30, 2014 8/30/2014 11:00:00 AM

It's the weekend again, and it's going to be a long one for all of you. Sadly for me, I'll have to work today but it shouldn't be for too long. I hope the rest of you enjoy three long days of blissful relaxation! The only thing that makes me sad it this weekend is the unofficial end of summer, better get my last hurrahs in while I can. ;-)

For today's look I started with a base of I Love Nail Polish's Mega (L). This is from the new Fall Collection, and it is mega holographic silver polish. I'm wearing 3 coats of this beauty and it applied like a dream.

I then used MoYou London UK Rebel 02 to stamp on Bansky's Panda in Konad Black and Mo You London UK Pro Collection XL 20 for the circular stamps. I love Konad Black for stamping, it's so crisp, but why is it always so hard to clean up. Ugh.

You can see a picture of the original Bansky Panda below. Do you like my graffiti inspired nails?

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Zoya Ignite Collection

Friday, August 29, 2014 8/29/2014 11:31:00 PM

*PR Sample

Today I have Zoya's Ignite collection to show you. These are all described as liquid metals which isn't always my favorite finish, but let me tell you that this collection has won me over. They are so pretty!

First up I have Zoya Autumn, which is described as "varnished copper liquid metal." I would say that it is fall in a bottle. The perfect polish to bring in a new season. This is 3 thin coats, but you could easily do 2 thicker ones.

Sansa a "deep eggplant with a gold metallic sparkle." It's a dark deep purple that really shines in the light. This one killed me with its prettiness. I applied 2 coats for full coverage.

Remy is so pretty. It's a favorite for me in this collection. This blue teal polish is described as "brilliant indigo with copper and gold liquid metallic." Remy was opaque in just 2 easy coats.

Next we have India a "deep luxurious red with a gold liquid metallic shimmer." This one reads as a chocolatey red on me, if that makes sense. I used 2 coats for this look.

Second to last is Yuna! YUNA you have my heart. This polish turned me into a fangirl for a hot second. Described as a "warm grey with copper and gold liquid metal" Yuna stole my heart, her flawless formula that applied easily in 2 coats helped.

Finally we have Teigen. Teigen fully covered in 2 coats and was easy to apply. She's described as a "pink toned cranberry with a copper liquid metal."

Like I said, I love this collection. I never understand why Zoya doubles up on reds/pinks in their collections, but that doesn't take away from how pretty they are. Which ones are your favorites? Yuna is the big favorite for me, but I love Autumn, Remy, and Sansa too. Heck, I love them all!

Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

#TheLacquerRing: Striping Tape

Thursday, August 28, 2014 8/28/2014 11:00:00 AM

#TheLacquerRing is back. The lovely Cynthia from Of Life and Lacquer has the pleasure of picking for the month of August. As you know by now, we do a color for the first go around and then an art pick for the second theme in August.

For Cynthia's second pick of the month she chose the art prompt of striping tape. I think by now y'all know I love a good striping tape mani. So I was excited for this prompt. Let me start off by showing you my base color. I began with a base of KBShimmer Mint-al Vacation. This is a lovely soft minty blue with a scattered holographic shimmer in it. I'm going to show you 2 pictures of the first hand pose, one with normal lighting and the other with flash. This way you can see the holographic rainbows.

Mint-al Vacation was the perfect base for my striping tape look. I used Color Club Harp On It and OPI In True Stefani Fashion for the other colors in this design.

Amazeballs right? I'm so happy with how this came together. Love the mix of liner and scatter holographic rainbows plus the holographic glitter.

Don't forget to check out what Cynthia, Amanda, Lesley, Frosso, Jessica, Siobhan, and Nicole came up with as well. You can see their looks below.

Morgan Taylor Neon Collection

Wednesday, August 27, 2014 8/27/2014 11:35:00 AM

It totally makes sense that at the end of the summer I have a full neon polish collection to show you. This is the Morgan Taylor Neon Collection. If you don't like lots of pictures maybe this post isn't for you. This collection may be my favorite neon collection ever. I didn't need a single white base for the polishes and they were all opaque in three coats. While these are all cremes a few of them applied more like a "crelly" (creme + jelly). Now that I've told you all that, lets look at these pretties.

Starting off with the least neon polish in the collection this is Don't Touch Me, I'm Radioactive. I think it is just insanely hard to make a neon blue polish, so I would classify DTMIR as such, however it is very bright and in your face.

Don't Worry, Be Brilliant is a bright neon coral polish that tends to lean orange in certain lights. This is my favorite from the collection and man it was in your face!

Pink Flame-ingo is an on fire pink! I love this color and thought it was so beautiful!

Next I've got It's Electric which is a radioactive bright purple.

This is Watt Yel-lookin at? a highlighter neon yellow. This was the sheerest of the 6 polishes, but it can be built up just fine.

This last polish, I've already shown you but I wanted to include it in the collection post. Go for the Glow is a bright green that really does glow because NEON!
