Swatch and Review of OPI Stay the Night

I needed to take a bit of a break from all the nail art, so I have a swatch post for you today! I am slowly getting behind in the challenge, but I am still hopeful I can pull it together and finish all of them! I just hate putting out nail art I don't love, hence the pauses in nail art. Therefore, I have a beautiful swatch today! I took a trip to TJ Maxx just to see if they had my favorite strengthening base coat. I recently ran out, and sometimes they have it for a great price. I alternate between Essie Grow Stronger and OPI Nail Envy, so I was really excited to find Grow Stronger for only $4.99! It is usually $9 or $10 now. I also found an unexpected beauty OPI Stay the Night for only $3.99! I believe this is from the Mariah Carey Spring 2013 Collection. I only have sprung from that collection and for some reason this one never caught my eye until now. It is a textured black base with some red leaning pink glitter in it!

Swatch and Review of Zoya: Chita

Hello! I am sorry I haven't posted for a few days, my husband and I went camping! We have been wanting to go to Crater Lake for a while now and Labor Day weekend was the perfect excuse. Camping is really hard on your nails, so I thought I would go with just a plain textured polish this time. Zoya Chita is a forest green textured polish from their PixieDust line. It has a lot of gorgeous sparkle! I took the photos below in our camp site in full sun.

Swatch and Review of Zoya Magical Pixie Dust Summer 2014 Collection

Press Sample

Summer 2014 is shaping up to be beautiful! Zoya sent me three new polishes from the Magical Pixie Summer 2014 Collection and I have them to share with you today!  Zoya provided these for my honest review. The Magical Pixie polishes are very textured polishes, but even if you don't like textured polish you should definitely check them out. I have photos of all with and without top coat, and I think you'll be surprised!

Swatch and Review of China Glaze: Sand Dolla Make You Holla

First off, I have to say the name of this polish makes me cringe. Sand Dolla Make You Holla? Really?

Now that that is out of the way, China Glaze's Sea Goddess Collection for Spring 2014 came with several gorgeous, textured polishes. I could only find one, but it was the one I had my eyes on. Sand Dolla Make You Holla is a white based textured polish with multi-colored glitter. I find that the China Glaze textured polishes to be less gritty than the OPI Liquid Sand or even the Nicole by OPI Roughles. Take a look:
