Zoya- Veruschka

Hi! This week's polish is Zoya's Veruschka. I've been wanting this polish for ages! When Zoya announced that they were re-releasing some of their MatteVelvet polishes, I ordered Veruschka immediately. Now that the weather is starting to really feel like fall, I decided to try it out. Oh my goodness, this polish is gorgeous! I've always thought of matte polishes as dull and wasn't into them. This polish proved me wrong, it is anything but. It's a deep evergreen (almost emerald) with lighter green shimmer. Application was easy, the formula was smooth and not too runny. The photos show two coats without topcoat (But it looks just as amazing with topcoat).

OPI- My Boyfriend Scales Walls

Eek! I owe you guys two posts this week (I'm so sorry)! Please don't throw tomatoes at me. Today's second polish isn't anything new, but it is a lovely one! My Boyfriend Scales Walls is a very light grey creme, but it isn't so light that it can be confused for white. It's cool-toned- sometimes it looks like a pastel slate blue. The formula is great considering it's a pastel, three thin coats to become opaque!

OPI- My Vampire is Buff

Hello again! This polish isn't a new release, but I'm definitely happy I picked it up. My Vampire is Buff is, as the name says, a buff color. It's like a very pastel brown with a tinge of yellow in it. Wonderful nude polish! Three easy coats with minimal streaking or patchiness- application was a breeze.

essie- Partner In Crime

Good morning! Today I have another polish from the new essie fall 2014 Dress to Kilt collection. It's a cool-toned dark chocolate brown creme. Partner in Crime has an even better formula than Dress to Kilt- it's a one coater! The color's gorgeous, too! Perfect for fall- I love it. The photos show one coat with no topcoat.

essie- Dress to Kilt

Good evening! I'm sorry, I'm slacking. I've just been so busy lately. I hope I can make up for it with an amazing polish! Here is Dress to Kilt from essie's fall 2014 collection. It is a deep berry red creme with a phenomenal formula. It can totally be a one-coater if you do a slightly thicker coat. It's so smooth and dries super glossy. essie's polishes haven't been too great formula-wise lately, but they really hit it out of the ball-park with this one. As always, I do crazy thin coats so it took me two to hide my nail line. Otherwise, it's opaque in one coat. No topcoat.

Zoya- Ryan

Good evening! Hope you all had a great week! Today's polish is a new one from Zoya's fall 2014 Entice collection called Ryan. Ryan is a dark blue creme that almost leans teal. It's so dark it's barely distinguishable from black in some lightings. I've been wanting to get this polish for a while and it did not disappoint! I absolutely love the color, perfect for fall! The formula was great, too. It could easily be a one-coater, but I needed two because I do thin coats. It was smooth and dried glossy. The photos below show it without topcoat.

Zoya- Dream

Good morning! Hope you're all enjoying you weekend! Today I have Zoya's Dream. It came out a few years ago in one of their fall collections. Dream is a deep blue jelly with lots of holographic flakes. It's so gorgeous, it looks like a starry night sky! Indoors it just looks like a sparkly blue polish but once you step into the sunlight the scattered holo comes out. It sparkles all the colors of the rainbow! I love this polish! The application was a breeze, 3 easy coats and you get the color in the bottle. It dries really glossy too. The photos show it without topcoat.

essie- Turquoise & Caicos

Hi! Wow, I missed two weeks, I'm so sorry! Today, I have a classic essie polish- Turquoise & Caicos. As the name suggests, the polish is a turquoise color. It has a crelly formula and is easily buildable, it'll be perfect for jelly sandwiches! It takes about 4 coats to get it opaque and the color stays true to the bottle. It wasn't very streaky and applied very smoothly. The final 3 photos show 4 coats with topcoat.

OPI - Chillin' Like A Villain

 Hello! I know I'm late on this collection, but today I have OPI's "Chillin' Like A Villain" from their Muppets Most Wanted collection. I've wanted this polish ever since it came out. Chillin' Like A Villain is a peach creme with a slight beige-ness to it. I'm in love! Unfortunately, the formula wasn't too great. It was really thin and sheer, it could almost be a jelly. It took me 4 coats to get it opaque. I have coat-by-coat photos below (please excuse my cuticles). The photos are without topcoat.

Color Club- Macaroon Swoon

Hello! Hope you're having a great week. Today I have a Color Club polish for you called Macaroon Swoon. How cute is that name! Macaroon Swoon is a pastel warm yellow creme. The color is very true to the bottle but it seemed to darken just a bit with topcoat. Formula-wise, it isn't the best. It's a bit thick and patchy. It took me 4 coats to even it out and get it opaque. I'd say it's worth it, the color is just so pretty and perfect for spring. I'll be wearing it plenty more! The photos show it with topcoat.

And another shot- because why not?

Later, I decided to add a coat of "Clowning Around" from Polish Me Silly. 

OPI- Mod About You

OPI's "Mod About You" is a beautiful cool-toned, pastel pink creme. It looks great with a tan, I absolutely love it! It dries a bit darker than in the bottle and the formula's pretty thin. It was streaky and uneven so it took me 3 coats to get it opaque. The photos below show Mod About You without topcoat.

Zoya- Wendy

Zoya's "Wendy" is a beautiful coral or melon pink creme. It's perfect for summer! The formula was a bit streaky on the first coat but just one or two more fixed it. The polish does dry a tad darker than how it looks in the bottle, but I love it nonetheless. The photos show three coats and topcoat.

essie- Mint Candy Apple

essie's "Mint Candy Apple" is a cult classic- and for good reason. Honestly, at first I didn't think it was as amazing a color as everyone was making it out to be. After I put it on I realized why everybody loved it. Mint Candy Apple is a beautiful pastel mint blue creme and goes really well with a tan. Application was easy and I got it opaque in 2 easy coats. I tend to do thin coats so 1 slightly thicker coat works too. The photo shows it with topcoat.

Sincerely Polish- Maria Veronica

Hi! Today, I have another indie to talk about and it is Sincerely Polish's "Maria Veronica". I love how Karen includes some nail decorations and a handwritten thank you note in the package, she's so sweet! Maria Veronica is a pale pink crelly polish with all sorts of glitter shapes and sizes. It has matte pink hearts, matte purple circles and two different sizes of metallic purple hexes. It's so cute! There is enough glitter in the polish so that you don't have to fish around for any and the formula is very nice. Because of its crelly base, the polish takes about 4-5 coats to get it pretty close to being opaque. In the photos below I have 5 coats and there is just a hint of visible nail line. Because of the large glitters, more topcoat is needed to even it out as well. The photos below are with topcoat.
