This lovely polish is part of Orly’s Cosmic F/X for Fall 2010.
The formula is amazing – quick drying and opaque within two coats.
In the shade shots you can see the gorgeous purple shimmer in the bottle, but it didn’t translate well into the picture, but in real life the purple shimmer/flashes were just…amazing. This is definitely a color that’s well worth the purchase.
The sunlight drowned out the purple shimmer, but it is there! But it’s just beautiful, isn’t it?
The two colors that bumped it back? Rescue Beauty Lounge’s The Real Housewives of the Tudor Dynasty – Catherine and Catherine H. These 2 colors are part of their Fall 2010 collections.
The formula was quick drying but not as high gloss as their cremes. No worries, out of the 4 colors (the other 2 will be posted tomorrow) these two are really my favorite!
See below for the yumminess!
This beautiful blue grey purple is what I was hoping Zoya’s Kelly would’ve been on me. This color was gorgeous, even with the shimmer that ran through it.
I love this purple grey…it’s gorgeous. What do you think?
What I loved about this is that it dried fast and was a flattering color on me.
You can still find some of these colors, but not all, should you decide to go on a hunt for them. I will re-swatch these (along with the French Collection) with proper lighting. For now, settle for the indoor and flash only.
I rocked Russian Navy for so long that I have 3 – yes THREE – bottles of them.
Maybe I’m getting ballsy in my old age. 😉
Formula: Again, great application. I rarely have problems with Zoya and when/if I do it’s so minor I have a fierce internal debate with whether I should mention it or not because the flaw is usually by my hand (literally). As you can see on my ring finger, there is some nail peeking through…again, that’s me and my heavy handed application. 😀
I love shades of blue like this. This particular one is a creme with some very fine glitter in it thrown for good measure. I’ve received a bulk of nail polish from BB Couture and I find I am never really happy with their glitter polishes. I don’t know what it is and I can’t put my finger on it, but it bothers me. I don’t want to make them sound like amateurs, but I definitely prefer their cremes and their shimmers but not the glitter. Sorry for all the BB Couture fans out there. I don’t mean to upset you.
I love the China Glaze Holographics. How can anyone not like them? 😀
See below!
Even without the flash, this color was throwing holographics everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I finally decided to tame the beast with a single flash setting. It’s a gorgeous teal, isn’t it? It was a nice cool color against my skin tone.
Love how the sun really brought this into play. In the shade it was this deceptive little color was pretending to be a tame gold nail polish. Out in the sun, I swear it was one of my favorite gemstones (lemon quartz) gone wild! It’s a bit warmer in the undertones than I expected and it clashed terribly with my skin, but … how can you deny how gorgeous it looks?!
