Zoya- Zuza

Hi!

Today I have Zoya Zuza. I bought it from a seller on Copious with a $10 credit I had for only 1 cent!!! How awesome is that? (if you'd like to sign up on Copious and get a credit, feel free to click my invite if you'd like:  http://copious.com/invites/4fd984676058f17f7f00933d )

Zuza is part of the Beach & Surf 2012 collection. On the Zoya website they describe Zuza as a "Deep, saturated, oceanic turquoise with gold and silver metallic shimmer and a foil-like finish. A beachy, colorful, foil-like shade with the perfect balance between blue and green."

This is 2 coats of Zoya Zuza over China Glaze base coat and Orly topcoat to top it all off.

You can purchase this color here on the Zoya website.

Sinful Colors- Zeus

Hi Everyone!

I decided to make a quick post about Sinful Colors Zeus before I headed to bed. I'm having company over later today (Sunday) so I didn't know if I would have the time to post this so I just went ahead and decided to post it early. :)

Sinful Colors Zeus is a sort of dusty purple with a pink/purple shimmer. This was part of the Cast Away collection I believe. I love Sinful Colors. They are pretty cheap ($1.99 or even cheaper if you find them on sale) and they wear just as long, if not longer, than some of the big name brands. With this mani I used China Glaze base coat, 2 coats of Zeus and Orly topcoat.

 Indoors under fluorescent light.

With flash on.

You could possibly still find this color in stores along with their permanent and current collections.

Thanks for reading!

Color Club- Worth The Risque

Color Club Worth The Risque is a silver polish with a holographic sheen. I bought this a while back and swatched it but never really got around to doing a full mani until now. The holo is there, it's just hard to catch it in some lights. You can really see it in the sun and if you are under a lot of light, but other than that you may not catch it. I actually like this polish, I wish it just had more of a holo effect. The formula is good since it's not patchy or hard to apply like some holo polishes can be. This is 2 coats over base and Orly Topcoat.

I tried to catch some of the holo effect, but it's a bit hard to.

With this polish, I've heard that there have been some with super amounts of holo and others that were duds with no holo. I'm guessing mine is in between? I'm not sure. Every swatch I see has about the same amount of holo mine does.

China Glaze- Blue Iguana

I picked up Blue Iguana when I was clearance shopping at Ulta. I found this for $3.99? (I think). It was part of the Island Escape collection from last year.

Blue Iguana is a medium almost dark blue with glass fleck shimmer that is blue and violet. This shade is pretty sheer. I usually don't go past my 3 coat limit (I make exceptions from time to time) and this was still sheer, although I really like it. The violet shimmer is hard for me to pick up in my photos, but it is there in person.  This is 3 coats with Orly topcoat.

I also apologize ahead of time for the messy nails. I finally found a brush for clean up that actually works, so they should get better with time.

This shows the shimmer better.

I believe I may try this color again over black. I think it would make it pop more. 

Thanks for viewing!
