Picture Polish Imperial Swatch & Review

Hi there and hello! I wanted to show you my newest addition to my Picture Polish stash, Imperial. Picture Polish is an Australian boutique brand that sometimes collaborates with bloggers to create new shades which is super cool. This one was created with my friend Jeanette, The Swatchaholic.

It came out last fall and I'm so glad I finally picked it up. It's a neon purple with holo sparks, blue and pink glass fleck shimmer and pale gold medium hex glitters. Seriously stunning. The application was a little streaky/patchy, due to the neon pigment I'm guessing, but it looks perfect after three coats. Also, make sure to shake it up well because the glitters tend to sink. It dries matte so you need a top coat for shine.

It also is a bit difficult to photograph the color correctly, I would say it's a little more red toned in real life than I could capture here. Haha it kinda sounds like I'm complaining about this polish, but I really do love it! Problem child or not, I love it.

You can purchase this on the Picture Polish website or from any of their stockists, I bought this from Llarowe for $14.50. What do you think of this color? If you could create your own collaboration shade, what kind would you make? See ya next time!

Zoya Fall 2014 Ignite Collection Swatches & Review

Hello gorgeous! I have the second Fall collection from Zoya to show you today, this one is called Ignite. This is the sparkly half of their fall offering, while the Entice collection gave us crèmes. There are six stunning shades in this bunch with "liquid metal" shimmer. Let's take a look at them!

Press Sample

First is Autumn, which is the perfect name for this polish, a metallic orange coppery shade with gold glittery shimmer. I really like how this looked with my skin tone. I used two coats here and got lovely coverage.

Next we have Sansa, a sexy eggplant purple with gold and purple glittery shimmer. I liked this way more than I expected to! Two coats were all I needed for this one, fab formula.

This is Teigen, a yummy metallic raspberry shade with gold glittery shimmer. I used three coats here, only because I thought I could still see my nail line through two, but it was probably not really necessary. The third coat deepened the color a lot. Oh well, I like it either way!

Remy is super gorgeous. A dark oceany blue with brighter turquoisey green shimmer and some of that gold glittery shimmer like the others. This is two coats. I did have some mild staining on my cuticles after clean up.

And this stunner is India, a polish I wasn't super excited for in the bottle but really blew me away when I put it on my nails. It is a deep red burgundy that has red, blue, purple and gold shimmer! Vampy and ga ga gorgeous. Two coats.

Last we have Yuna, another pleasant surprise for me, a dark blueish greenish grey with a hefty dose of gold flecks and glittery shimmer. Super pretty! Really great formula as well, two coats.

This is a real winner of a collection, I liked all the polishes and even loved some of them. You can get these on Zoya's website for $9 each. Did you pick up anything from this collection? If not, which ones are you lusting after? Do you prefer this sparkly half of their Fall collections, or were the crèmes more your style? Have a great day!

Zoya Fall 2014 Entice Collection Swatches & Review

What's up kittens? I have another Fall collection to show you today! Zoya put out two sister collections, the first of which is called Entice. It offers six rich, deep crèmes that will serve you well during this upcoming season.

Press Sample

First up is Claire, a dark burgundy crème. This is almost on the brown side but it's definitely a red tone, quite deep and warm. Reminds me a little of dried blood, ooooh. Pretty great formula, two coats. I am surprised at how much I liked this on me, not my usual type of color.

Next is Genevieve, a blue grey with a slight pearl type shimmer. The shimmer is pretty much only perceptible in bright light though so it looks like a crème in most lighting to me. Applied a bit draggy. Two coats.

Margo is a red plummy crème. I love this color, it's so yummy and perfect for those who still like brightness on their nails but want to be fall "appropriate". Shiny and smooth. Two coats.

This one is Nyssa, a warm yellowy toned milky brown. When I applied it, it looked like it went on a lot darker than it appeared in the bottle but outside in the sun they look the same, which I thought was interesting. This is two coats.

And here is Ryan, another deep fall blue. Dark enough that in low lights it might appear to be black, but in bright lights it's quite a nice true navy. This one applied a little thick for me, I ended up with a lot on my cuticles and it is a bit of a pain to clean up. I could see this one being a stainer. Two coats.

Last is Veronica, a deep berry red shade. I tend to really like how these shades look on me, but don't wear them too often, which is silly haha. Very creamy and shiny. Two coats.

You can purchase Zoya nail polish from their website or Ulta stores for $9 per bottle. What do you think of these lush crèmes for Fall? I would pick Margo and Claire as my favorites out of these guys. Stay tuned to see my swatches of the Zoya Ignite collection, coming soon!
