China Glaze: Seahorsin' Around

Good evening readers! Today I have for you a polish from the China Glaze Sea Goddess collection: Seahorsin' Around. This is an amazing blue texture polish. The blue textures seem to be my favorite. This polish reminds me of the blue texture from the Mariah Carey collection! 

As usual, all photos are taken with my phone using a desk lamp as lighting. 

And I'm super excited, I just got an Olloclip for my phone and so I've included a macro of the polish. So preeeeetty! 

Seahorsin' Around was super easy to work with and covered in 2 coats. 

Thanks for reading! 

OPI Liquid Sand: Alcatraz...Rocks

Good morning everyone! I have a short but gorgeous post for you today. I've been avoiding Ulta because I'm trying to save money for a Vacation coming up so I haven't had a chance to check out a lot of the new collections. One polish I kept hearing about was the new Liquid Sand polish from the San Francisco collection by OPI, Alcatraz...Rocks. 

I accidentally found one. It was hiding with The Bond Girls collection. I thought I had just written off Vesper too soon! Anyway, I looked at it and it was love at first sight. Alcatraz...Rocks is a stunning dark grey/purple base and tons of little tiny glitters in a ton of colors. It's just fantastic! 

And then a blurryish (my camera just wanted to focus. Haha I couldn't get it to go blurry!) one to highlight the sparkle. 

I see green and purple and gold in there and more colors show up in person. Out of all the texture polishes out right now, this ranks as one of my favorites. I did not put any topcoat on, but from the other blogger pictures I've seen, it's just as amazing with a couple coats. 

I would definitely recommend picking this up if you like the textured polish look!

Zoya Destiny

Good afternoon! Today I've got my final pick from the Summer 2013 Zoya PixieDust shades! This is Zoya Destiny.

Destiny is a lovely coral with an amazing gold shimmer underneath. The gold shimmer makes the color really pop! I was not at all surprised that this came close to being my favorite. (I'm so in love with Stevie because purple is my favorite color!)

This is three coats in indoor lighting. 

The gold was so hard to capture. 

I'm just in love with Zoya's take on the texture polishes. These are, by far, my favorite of the trend. 

What do you all think of the texture polish craze? Love it? Hate it? 

Zoya Stevie

Hello all! Hope your day is going well! Today I have some swatches of Zoya Stevie from the Summer 2013 PixieDust collection! I picked up a total of three from the collection and love them all. Pictures of the others will be up soon! 

I used two coats for these pictures and they are all taken in indoor lighting!

OPI Tiffany Case

Good afternoon loves! Hope you all are doing well! I think I'm getting a cold. Can't tell yet, but my throat has been sore for the last few days. Yuck!

I didn't expect it, but it's official. I'm into the texture polish craze! I never really got into the crackle thing when it was around, and the matte look is still iffy for me, but this texture thing! I think the polish companies are doing great things with these polishes. First Zoya with the PixieDust line and now the Bond Girls collection from OPI. I wasn't planning on picking any of these up, but decided since I don't have a blue polish -- I passed on Nyx by Zoya -- that I'd grab it. Best. Idea. Evar!

Tiffany Case is a bright blue polish from OPI's Liquid Sand line of texture polishes. It manages to stay matte and textured while being amazingly shiny and sparkly! I can't stop looking at my fingers!

I don't know if I'll be getting any more of the Bond Girls collection, but picking this one up was definitely a good call! 

Any of you have a preference or think you'll be picking any of this collection up??

Zoya Vespa (again)

Good morning everyone! I know I already did a post with Vespa from Zoya's PixieDust collection, but let's be honest: it was just one picture.... and it really wasn't all that good. Haha. Soooo, I took some new ones to go a long with my post on Godiva.

Here is Vespa, again. The lovely sage green textured polish from Zoya's PixieDust collection. I *think* I got the shimmer captured. That's truly what makes these polishes amazing.

I really love these polishes. At first I didn't like the whole textured polish craze that is going on, but the shimmer that these have is just fantastic! It really looks like someone poured crushed gems and sugar on your nails. I'm super impressed. I'm probably going to just stick with these two colors from this round of PixieDust polishes because it looks like there are some bright colors coming out later this year... and THOSE I want. I want them already and haven't even seen them swatched!

Hope you liked the better version of swatches from this post! Check out my post on Godiva HERE if you haven't see that one yet!

Zoya Godiva

Good evening!

Today is just a super brief post. I have a second polish from the Zoya PixieDust collection. I really wasn't prepared to like this collection or this entire fad as much as I do! I picked up Godiva, the nude from the collection. Love it! It's just gorgeous and the sparkle that I can't capture just adds an extra OOMPH!! I used three costs for my swatch and all picture are under a desk lamp.

Zoya Vespa

Hello! Today I just have a short post with a picture of one of the PixieDust polishes by Zoya: Vespa. This polish was pretty much impossible to capture. There is an amazing fine silver glitter that sparkles in person but won't photograph.

Based on pictures I had already written this off as one I wouldn't like but I was wrong! I'll be picking up the rest of the collection soon!
