Zoya True Collection and Fleck Effect Collection for Spring 2012
Posted by Unknown
Today I have the Zoya True Collection and Fleck Effect Collection for Spring 2012 to share with you guys. Zoya came out with six gorgeous shades for the Spring with three cremes, and three gorgeous shimmers. Along with the True Collection, is the Fleck Effect collection which consists of three flakies! That's right FLAKIES!


Cho is a gorgeous yellow toned beige creme. 3 coats. I can't help but to think of Harry Potter and Cho with this name :)

Farah is a tan beige creme. 2 coats. I love the look of this one because it is very neutral and it has this unique shade on it.

Bevin is a smokey turquoise green creme. 2 coats. I love this musky like look of polishes, where the color isn't vivid but it still stands out.

Skylar is a slate blue with gold and silver shimmers. 2 coats. How gorgeous is Skylar?! I love how you can see both the gold and silver shimmer.

Tru is a purple base with gold shimmers. 2 coats. Tru has a true purple look to it (you see what I did there? har har har) And I was quite surprised I was able to capture it on camera since purples usually translate into blues in pictures.

Lotus is a dusty purple with pink shimmers. 2 coats. I love this one! I think pink and purple goes really well together.
The True collection is the perfect collection to welcome the Spring season. There wasn't a single color I didn't like. The formula is the typical Zoya formula which applied flawlessly. Only Cho needed three coats, under two coats my nail line was still visible and I didn't really like that. Nevertheless, the collection is simply gorgeous!
Now let's have a look at the Fleck Effect Collection!

Masie over Cho. Masie is a green flakie with a very sheer blue base

Masie over Farah

Opal over Bevin. Opal is also a green flakie in a super sheer green base.

Opal over Skylar.

Opal over Skylar without flash. This shows more of the green.

Chloe over Tru. Chloe is a pink, orange, and green flakie in a super sheer pink base.

Chloe over Lotus

Chloe over Lotus with different angle to show the flashes of orange and green.

Chloe without flash over Lotus, showing more flashes of orange, and green, and you can see slight pink flashes here.
I am a true flakie fan, so I was super excited to see that Zoya was making flakies! These were a little on the thick side, but being that it's a top coat that's not an issue for me. I know we've seen plenty of green flakies and orange flakies, but this is from Zoya!
Overall, I am quite satisfy with the collections. I can't pick favorites because they're all gorgeous. I love the shimmers the most!
Well that's all I have for today, what do you guys think of the True Collection? and the Fleck Effect collection?

China Glaze - Kaleidoscope Collection - 4 Swatches
Posted by Unknown
Good morning everyone! Today I'll be showing you 4 polishes from one of the most popular (and hard-to-find) China Glaze collections, the Kaleidoscope Collection.
2 of these polishes are mine and 2 of them belong to my friend Emma who let me swatch them for your viewing pleasure! (And also so I could decide if I wanted to get them for myself.)
I'll show you the two I do own first. (My favorites!)
China Glaze - He's Going In Circles
This was the first Kaleidoscope I felt I needed and an amazing friend, Laurie, got it for me for my birthday!
(You may remember Laurie from her guest posts here and here - she won't be needing anymore though because she's just started her own blog! Check her out at Dressed Up Digits.)
He's Going In Circles is a light seafoamy green scattered holo, and I adore it. The color is so "me" and the holo effect in these polishes is unlike any other holos, it's scattered and sparkly and pretty. I love it!
Before I go on to the other polishes, I'll tell you where they came from.
Another great friend, Chelsea from Pretty and Polished, does a lot of dusty hunting. She finds beauties like these and other Kaleidoscope/OMG polishes and she sells them on her blog for really great prices.
Not only does she sell hard-to-find polishes, she sells her own custom frankens too!
Check out her Etsy store here, she has amazing polishes! I have 3 of those babies to show you and I hope to swatch them soon!
Okay, after that name dropping, we are ready for the other 3 polishes.
China Glaze - How About A Tumble
This one is a beauty, too. I thought I only needed the green one, but then I saw this one! It's a pretty pink shade, purple-toned. Yum yum yum.
China Glaze - Don't Be A Square
This is another pink but a more salmon-colored pink. This one is lovely, they're pretty much all lovely.
The formula on all of these is good too, 3 coats but they apply really easily.
China Glaze - Kaleidoscope Him Out
This is probably my favorite name from the collection! It sounds like a pun OPI would use. This color is also lovely, it's a light blue with the same pretty sparkly scattered holo.
There are 8 more colors from this collection that neither myself or my friend have, so I don't know if I will ever show you more of them. Maybe someday I'll buy a few more. There are more pretty ones!
(But I am not going to get all 12 like I did with OMG. My wallet can't handle that.)
