Julie G Tokyo Nights | Review & Swatches

6/9/2016

 
Picture
The Julie G Nail Color in Tokyo Nights is a dark navy. The polish is super opaque, I only used one coat in my swatches. As dark polishes tend to do, Tokyo Nights did stain my nails a bit around the edges, so I would recommend some kind of base to be paired with it.

Black & White Granite Nail Art

5/10/2016

 
Picture
I created the granite texture with some plastic wrap, which is not a new technique. The base color I used was Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Black Out, followed by China Glaze Five Rules, OPI Alpine Snow & Zoya Kelly.

Death of a Bachelor Nail Art

3/27/2016

 
Picture
To recreate the album cover, I used Wet n Wild 1 Step Gel in Power Outage (black), Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in In Prompt Blue (royal blue), Sephora Formula X in Flashy (red), OPI Alpine Snow (White) and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Mellow Yellow (yellow). I sealed the design with the Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II Top Coat.

Wet n Wild Power Outage 1 Step Wonder Gel | Review & Swatches

3/21/2016

 
Price: $4.99 * Buy At: Walgreens * Size: 0.45 fl oz
Picture
The Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel Polish in Power Outage is a classic glossy black. Power Outage is super opaque, something I definitely look for in a black polish. It is super easy to apply, and since it is not thick, it dries fairly quickly. I wouldn't say that it gives quite the shine and thickness that gel polish does, but it still looks nice on the nails.

Zoya Storm | Review & Swatches

3/7/2016

 
Price: $9 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz
Picture
Zoya Storm is a black creme packed with holographic silver pieces of micro glitter. Storm seemed a bit sheer with the first coat, but with two coats it is completely opaque. I used two coats for the swatches. I love holographic polishes and I love black nails, so Storm is right up my alley! I think the color is just gorgeous.

Zoya Sue | Review & Swatches

2/20/2016

 
Price: $10 * Buy At: Ulta * Size: 0.5 fl oz
Picture
Zoya Sue
Zoya Sue is a soft champagne nude with a satin matte finish. Sue is almost opaque with one coat, but I used two in the swatches. With the matte finish of the polish, it becomes dry to the touch pretty quickly, but it does not become fully dry for a little while. Sue is a nice easy color that would work any time of the year as an everyday kind of shade

Zoya Malia | Review & Swatches

2/9/2016

 
Price: $9 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz
Picture
Zoya Malia is a cool toned medium lilac creme. Malia is completely opaque with one coat, something I often find with Zoya polishes. Malia has a very smooth formula that is easy to apply and dries at an average speed. One coat of Malia is shown in the swatches. I typically do not like purple in general, but if I wear it it will be a shade like this one.

Zoya Kelly | Review & Swatches

1/28/2016

 
Price: $9 * Buy At: Zoya's Website * Size: 0.5 fl oz
Picture
Zoya Kelly is a dark grey creme with a blue-purple undertone. It is nearly opaque with one coat, but I used two coats for the swatches. As with all Zoya polishes, Kelly has a great formula that is easy to work with. I love grey or neutral nail colors, so I will be using this one quite a lot.

OPI Don't Bossanova Me Around

1/5/2016

 
Picture
OPI Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around is a light pink toned nude with a cream finish. Don’t Bossa Nova Me Around has the same great formula that I typically find with OPI. It applies very smooth and only needed two coats for an opaque look. ​I really like neutral nail colors like this one and find that it looks nice in every season with all kinds of outfits and jewelry.
