This is 2 coats of the beautiful Zoya Zuza. It's a "deep, saturated, oceanic turquoise with gold and silver metallic shimmer and a foil-like finish." Truly lovely & a nice formula much like
Zoya Edyta so you'll need to wait a couple of minutes before adding a second coat.
Thanks for reading!

I won a
French Tip Dip Kit a while back and ended up really liking their white polish and their topcoat. I contacted them to see if they might be interested in sending me some of their other polish colors to try out and
French Tip Dip Eccentric is the last one I've tried & my favorite!
Eccentric is a gorgeous, rich teal creme that just needs two easily applied coats. I almost got away with just one. I don't have any teal creme polishes for some reason. Not sure why since I love the way Eccentric looks! This is definitely my favorite of the bunch & I think I'll be wearing it a lot this fall & winter.
Here's a couple of shots in indirect sunlight! Glossy!!

UPDATED: Here are each of the colours on the nail. The formula on these are all very nice. Have to be careful when applying Obscurity though, it can get streaky.
Here is just a quick look at the Go Goth collection! This collection came out for Halloween 2010. I'm really excited to see what they have in store for us this year!
Retails for $39.90, a bit of a rip off but I really loved these colours.
Sanguine is a beautiful dark red, plus I love saying it. Sanguine.
Nevermore is a very pretty navy with pink and purple sparkles.
Unripened is really nice! I really hope OPI brings this sort of shade into a normal collection.
In order above in outdoor lighting natural vs. flash: Ink, Obscurity, Sanguine, Unripened and Nevermore.
Here is Ink and Nevermore side by side. Can you spot the difference?
Did you pick this set up? Did you like them?

Once again, our faithful cameras let us down again. Vinyl record is much more teal than what is shown here.
You can get this for $7 at Dress Smart in Onehunga. I haven't really seen the L.A. girls colours anywhere else.
The formula was quite consistent with the other shades I tried from this range. Quite a nice thickness to it, very smooth and excellent coverage. It can apply thickly quickly though, so be careful with these ones.

How's it going? I went into town today and can't resist walking into Farmers and checking out their ever-expanding nail polish collections. Today they had the Orly Christmas shades, the white, green and red that come with a little red purse, and some minis.
The only minis that excited me were these two, Meet Me Under The Mistletoe and On The List.
I don't think On The List is actually a part of this collection, but it sure fits doesn't it?
I will be posting swatches of these two hopefully this weekend if I'm not still settling into the new place, but for now here are some pretty pictures!
Speaking of On The List, which polishes are you wishing that Santa will bring you?
For me.... I think mainly is OPI Who The Shrek Are You?, Isn't That Precious and It's a Girl!

Hi all,
This week I hauled a good amount of polishes but the majority of them have not arrived yet should be coming in hopefully tomorrow, I cant wait! The ones I am showing you today I picked up at my local Rite Aid, CVS and the others I stumble upon while shopping in Forever 21 (I didn't even know they sold nail polish I guess everyone is giving a shot at it).
1st up is part of the limited edition Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polishes, Starry, Starry Flight. That has to be the longest name ever! I first saw this polishes swatched on The Nailphile I absolutely loved it! I already had a fav. silver glitter which was Sally Hansen Extreme wear Celeb city but this one blew that one out the water. It was opaque in 3 thin coats, it wasn't at all lumpy,dries really quick and last long. This one is a must have!!!
2nd Milani Neon fresh teal: I haven't had a chance to wear this one because Starry, Starry flight has held up so well. I love teal polishes and a neon teal polish sounds good to me. This polish you are suppose to use a white base color for the teal color to pop (actually say it on the label). I cant wait to use it with a nice nail art design.
3 and 4 Love & Beauty (Forever 21 polish) No name and Camel:
I had to get these 2 polishes because I don't have anything that looks like either one of these. Camel is a little darker then a nude it reminds me of OPI Barefoot in Barcelona which I had but it got lost in the move so why not get a cheaper version on it. The other didn't have a price tag so no name on it. I really like this one it has really thin holo glitter and a great plum color. These polishes are about $3 and they have a variety of colors these are the only ones that stood out to me.
Finally 2 silver holo glitters. Snowman and Wet N' Wild Wild Shine Cheers
I got these because I gave the holo glitter I did have away while I was in search of Starry, Starry Flight I found these 2 and I couldn't decide so I got them both. I swatched them on my nail wheel and I liked the snowman better because it has more glitter and dries faster(its cuter too). Ill probably end up giving away the other one. I got these at Rite Aid and they both cost under $2.That's all for this week cant wait till my package gets delivered so I can show you the wonderful polishes I got!

Blue India was very popular in the states and sold out so quickly. However, at the release party I went to, I think my mum and I were the only ones who paid attention to the polishes! So I don't think they will be quite as a big seller here.
BLUE INDIA
Was amazing! Best MAC formula ever! 98% coverage in the first coat. It was so smooth and creamy. I hope MAC produces more like this!
The colour of Blue India is sort of a dusty teal. But it doesn't have too much green in it, more of a blue teal. But definitely dusty.
It is quite a universal colour too, I tried it on and loved it, same happened with mum. My hands are more neutral coloured with yellow tones around my cuticles where as mum has more red undertones. So I think it will work with multiple skintones.
VESTRAL WHITE
The formula for this polish was really... different. I've never come across something like this before so I wasn't too sure on what to do for it.
It felt like I was applying a cream polish but then it left weird streaks as matte polishes do when you put them on too thin. I had to use 3 coats to get it all evened out.
I feel a white ridgefiller would help with this.
The colour of Vestral White is not quite a stark white. More of a creamy white. Like it has a little bit of softness to it as apposed to OPI Alpine Snow but not quite as soft as say Zoya Lucy or OPI Time-less is More.
