Cirque Colors Facets 2018 Collection, Swatches and Review

PR SAMPLES

Hello Lovelies!

I have the absolutely stunning Cirque Colors Facets 2018 Collection.  This beautiful collection is inspired by precious and semi precious stones, which I am absolutely obsessed with!  I have precious stones all over my house so I was so excited to have them in a nail polish form!

 This 12 piece collection has 6 new shades and 6 returning shades that have been reformulated.  All of these polishes are a jelly formula with fabulous holographic flakes swimming throughout.  The flakes are small and lay flat against your nail.  I used Essie Good To Go Topcoat and everything was smooth and glassy.

First up are the 6 new shades.

Emerald is a stunning emerald green jelly.  2 coats.

Padparadscha is a lovely pinky-coral shade.  I used 3 coats to try and cover my nail line as much as possible.

Rose Quartz is an angelic sheer pink.  I used 3 coats and still had some visible nail line which is to be expected as rose quartz does have a see through quality.  I wore this beauty for 6 days!

Sapphire is a  fabulous navy blue jelly.  My Mom's wedding ring has sapphires so I have loved them ever since I was a little girl.  I used 2 perfect coats for my swatch.

Zircon is a lovely sky blue jelly.  I used 2 coats, I think if I had done a 3rd, I would have completely covered my nail line.

Ruby is a beautiful rich red with hints of pink.  Easy to work with, 2 coats.  Ruby is my daughter Nalaya's birthstone.

The next 6 are the returning, reformulated polishes in the collection.  I don't own the orginial polishes, so I'm not sure of the difference, but these were all perfection!

Smokey Quartz is an amazing brown-black jelly.  I was so excited for this one and it did not disappoint!  So much beauty in this little bottle of polish!  2 easy coats.

Paraiba is an absolutely stunning turquoise jelly.  Two easy coats!

Dioptase is a fabulous teal jelly.  This beauty turned out to be my favorite of the whole collection!  2 perfect coats.

Tanzanite is a glamorous royal purple.  2 coats.

Morganite  is a sheer peach jelly.  The holo flakes really showed up in these pics!  I used 3 coats.

Garnet is a rich, deep red jelly.  Fantastic formula, 2 easy coats.

There you have it!  What do you think of these beauties, which one is your fave?  Do you have any of the original Facets collection?  I'm so curious to hear how they differ!

You can purchase the Facets 2018 Collection on Cirque Colors website here on September 12th.  These beauties will be part of the permanent collection at Cirque Colors!  They retail for $12.50 each.

Have a great day lovelies!

New! Zoya Thrive Collection for Spring 2018

PR SAMPLES

Hello Lovelies!

I have the new Zoya Spring Collection called Thrive to share with you today.  This is a really fun, bright, shimmery take on a Spring Collection and I am loving it.  The dreary, rainy and snowy days here in BC have me craving bright colors and warmer days!

First up is Haruko, a whimsical lilac cream with violet shimmer.  Haruko turned out to be my favorite of the collection, the color is stunning and that shimmer stole my heart!  The formula was great, I used three thin coats for my swatch.

Monroe is a fabulous berry pink cream.  This beauty is so pigmented, I used two coats for my swatch.

Brandi is a gorgeous blush pink cream.  This is another fave of mine, I love pinks with a hint of 'dust' like this one.  Great formula, two coats.

Leisel is a sheer sparkly pink and purple topper.  I used four coats of this on its own to see if I could build it up.  My nail like was still super visible on the fourth coat.

 I layered one coat of Leisel over Brandi.

Darby is a dusty grayish-blue with electric blue shimmer running throughout.  You all know that I'm a sucker for any polish that has shimmer.  Great formula, two easy coats.

Trudith is described as a muted, wisteria purple cream.  It is very pigmented and has a great formula, two coats gave me perfect opacity.

Zoya polishes have a 10 free formula, are vegan friendly and you can get 7-10 days of wear time out of them!  You can purchase Zoya polishes on their website here.

Which one of these beauties is your fave?

Have a great day lovelies!
