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.
