Zoya Darling Collection, Spring 2021

 pr sample

I have the beautiful new Zoya Darling Collection for Spring 2021 to share with you today!  This six piece collection is so lovely for Spring, it is a mix of pastel, soft, dusty and bright shades.

First up is Val, which is described as a mid-tone sky blue cream.  Fabulous formula, two easy coats.

Kayleigh is a light lilac cream with a fantastic formula, two perfect coats.

Mara is a muted rose-toned mauve cream.  It has that muted, dusty vibe to it that I just love.  Two easy coats.

Tweedy is a fun, bubble gum pink cream.  I ended up needing three coats for this one.

Ella is a beautiful coral cream.  I used three coats of this one to get full coverage.

Joyce is a bright and fabulous hot pink cream.  It has a slight jelly formula, I used two coats for my swatch.

What do you think of the Zoya Darling Collection?  Which one is your fave?

Have a great day loves,

OPI Spring Collection 2021, Hollywood

 pr samples

I'm so excited to share the new OPI Spring 2021 collection with you today!  OPI is celebrating its 40th anniversary and returning to its birthplace with the Hollywood Collection.  These 12 new polishes are so fabulous, there are a few shades in here that I know will be fan favorites!

First up is Movie Buff, a pale pink cream.  I used two thickish coats and got full opacity.

Hollywood & Vibe is a sweet light pink with a hint of lavender.  Great formula, two easy coats.

I'm an Extra is a dusty peach medium nude cream.  Great formula, two coats.

Suzi Calls the Paparazzi is a lovely medium rose cream.  It's very similar to I'm an Extra but more pink than peach.

 I'm an Extra Here is and Suzi Calls  the Paparazzi together so you can see the difference.

Bee-hind the Scenes is a pale yellow cream.  I love this sweet yellow for Spring.

Destined to be a Legend is a dusty medium blue cream.  This could be a one coater if you load up your brush with the first coat.

Oh You Sing, Dance, Act, and Produce? is a lovely medium purple with a hint of dustiness.  This was so hard to capture on camera, it is quite a bit dustier and more purple instead of blue in real life.  Another perfect formula, almost one coat.

Rated Pea-G is a rich pea green cream.  Fantastic formula, a one coater!

Award for Best Nails goes to... is a deep royal blue with a slight jelly finish.  I used two coats.  My bright lights made the nail line more visible than it actually looks in real life.

Emmy, have You seen Oscar? might just be the perfect red!  It has a slight jelly finish so I used three coats for this swatch.  Again, my camera was playing me today and this is showing up much more orange than it looks in real life.

15 Minutes of Flame is a magenta pink with the loveliest shimmer running throughout. Two coats.

I'm Really an Actress is my fave from this collection!  A deep jelly red with gorgeous holographic bits swimming throughout.  Such a stunner!  I used two coats for this swatch.

What do you think of the OPI Hollywood Collection?  Which ones are your faves?

Have a great day loves,

Cirque Colors Valentine's Abstract Nail Art

 pr samples

I'm so excited to share this Cirque Colors Abstract Nail Art with you!  I love how this one turned out, I think it's perfect for Valentine's Day.

I used all Cirque Colors for this look: Sartorial, Spotted in Soho and Blushing Queens.  I created a quick video tutorial and shared to Instagram if you want to see how I create these Abstract looks.

I also tried a new to me technique to create the black splatter.  I used acrylic paint and flicked it onto my nail, it worked great and I love the end result.  I added gold leaf as usual!

Hope you have a great day loves and a very happy Valentine's Day!
