Zoya Merida

Hello Readers! I have really been on a green kick lately, maybe it is because I caught a faint glimmer of spring coming. I'm sure spring won't come full force for a while now, but I can surround myself with green polishes.

I am very excited to share a beautiful holographic Zoya polish with you today. It is a beauty called Merida! It is a nice forest green with holographic similar to Dream that everyone so coveted. 

Julep Dominique

I have a thing for teal tones and holographics. I don't know if any of you have noticed this, but it is pretty clear to me that I can't seem to stay away from these. Today I have on the blog one that is exceptionally gorgeous. It is Julep Dominique. The color is rich and unique and I've been wearing it so much lately! Dominique has a really unique holographic glitter throughout that really reminds me of the holographics in polishes like Zoya Dream. Dream has a lot more glitter packed in whereas Dominique is more scattered. I still love the effect though.

KBShimmer Office Space Collection (Partial)

Press Sample

Today KBShimmer released the new Office Space Collection and I have two from the collection to share with you! From the press release:

"Sometimes you want to be a bit naughty, but stay within the professional lines. The Office Space collection consists of 8 naughty and neutral shade ideas for the office. These 8 shades add a pop of color and sparkle to your nails, while still keeping the boss happy."

This collection reminded me of my old Work Wear Wednesdays series that I let slide. These are really great for an office environment that is a little more strict with nail colors or in a more professional setting. I was sent Hint of Manilla and Supplies Party. These two are similar shades but have very different glitters. I love neutral colors on my nails so this collection is perfect for my taste.

KBShimmer Haute Mess

Haute Mess from KBShimmer is a glitter bomb I have to share with you tonight! This was the other polish I received from the Winter/Holiday 2016 Collection that released November 1st, but is still available online. This is a heavy glitter packed with silver, copper, rose gold, and holographic glitters which makes you take a second look at this disco ball on your nails.

KBShimmer Have a Look-Ski

Press Sample

KBShimmer released their Winter 2016 Collection recently and I have Have a Look-Ski here to share with you today! This shade is a holographic blue that looks like a perfect winter wonderland tone. It has a little bit of an icy tone but with the holographic shimmer, the polish looks so perfect for the holidays. I'm pretty sure I love all the holographic polishes and this one is no exception.

Pacifica 7-Free Super Fox and Abalone

I have been talking about trying Pacifica 7-free polish since it came out and I am glad to say, I picked up two colors and have them to share with you today! More about 7-free polish at the end of this post. I picked up a duo-chrome looking polish called Abalone, and a teal with shimmer called Super Fox. Both type of colors are those I gravitate towards. I think the metallic-like duo-chrome is always good to test out and see if it has a tendency to be brush stroke-y or not. I picked both of these up at my local Ulta for $9 each.

KBShimmer Carpe Denim

Carpe Diem! I mean, Denim! I have a great polish to share today. Carpe Denim is from KBShimmer and is obviously a play on carpe diem. This is a deep navy, with lots of glitter, so much holographic glitter! It is dark, but not one of those almost black shades. It is solidly in the navy camp. For the below photos I applied three coats.

Nvr Enuff Gilmore Girl Inspired Collection (Partial)

Nvr Enuff Polish is an indie brand introduced to me by a my friend Oksana from The Polished Koi, who absolutely raves about the polish. I happened to be told about a restock the day of and was able to snag a couple to try out. I picked up Bracebridge Dinner and Firelight Festival both of which are from the Gilmore Girls Collection. I admittedly have never watched Gilmore Girls until recently, but I just started watching a few episodes. I still don't get the references, but I imagine that might take a little more watching. Regardless, the colors are gorgeous!

KBShimmer Summer 2016 Collection (Partial)

Press Sample

KBShimmer has released the new Summer 2016 Collection! I was sent How Low Can You Flamingo?, Along for the Tide, and Gull, Get Real!. These are part of a twelve piece collection that are available starting today.

KBShimmer To Peach His Own and Color Club Wicker Park

I have a pretty simple look to show you today. KBShimmer To Peach His Own and Color Club Wicker Park are two colors that were brought to my attention through other bloggers and I am so glad I found them! The two colors pair well together, especially since one is more of a neutral and one is so bright and vibrant.

OPI Nail Envy Treatment in Samoan Sand

I have been a fan of OPI's Nail Envy for quite a while. I usually get the special treatment for peeling nails because, well, my nails peel a lot. I was pretty excited when I heard OPI was releasing some new Nail Envy with color. All of the colors are already pre-released colors, but now they are infused with Nail Envy. I picked up Samoan Sand because I can't resist nudes. 

Wet n Wild Spring 2016 Collection

Wet n Wild's Spring 2016 collection is out now, so I decided to get all of them and sharing them with you today! The collection includes a soft pink called Love Fest, a blue mint called Kiss My Mints, a lavender called Lay Out in Lavender, and a periwinkle blue called Breeze on By. All of these are soft and light shades typical of what you would see in spring.

Sinful Colors Copper Pot

Sinful Colors is one of those polish brands that always seems to find it's way in my shopping cart when I am at the grocery store. It is really affordable and offers a ton of colors to choose from. In my most recent purchase, I picked up Copper Pot. It looked so bright and glowy from the bottle, I knew I had to have it!

Julep Kimberly

I'm doing a bad thing. I am sharing something that is unavailable, yet again. I am so sorry! I am trying to get my polish organized and I am discovering polishes I may have worn but never shared on my blog. So, today I have Julep Kimberly. I think I got this around a year ago, but it was definitely in the spring time. This is a lavender purple with black speckles that remind me of a robin's egg! I know robin's eggs are blue, but same concept, right?

KBShimmer Spring 2016 and Mega Flame Collection (Partial)

Press Sample

I have two colors from each of the new collections from KBShimmer called the Spring 2016 and the Mega Flame Collection. I have Peony Pincher from the Spring 2016 Collection and Stalk Market from the Mega Flame Collection. Peony Pincher is described as a pastel pink with lavender undertones and is a linear holographic. Stalk Market is described as a near celery green yellow. All the Mega Flame polishes have some strong holographic glitter.

Wet n Wild 1 Step Wonder Gel

Have you noticed lately how so many brands have come out with "no light needed" gel polish? I am immediately skeptical of such claims. It simply is not gel if you don't use the light curing process, but as much as I am a skeptic, I am also very curious. When I saw Wet n Wild was coming out with gel polish, I wanted to try theirs especially since it is an inexpensive brand. These cost $4.99, and there was a $1 coupon in the display as well, so I got these for $3.99 each. 

Sephora by OPI (discontinued) Crackle Polish

I know it is terrible to show you discontinued products, but I really wanted to see what you all think about crackle polish. Hate it? Love it? I have had a bottle of crackle for ages, but I have never actually used it, until now. The crackle I have was made by Sephora by OPI. They no longer make this brand. It is called Blasted Black. I decided since I am sharing a discontinued polish, I may as well show you two. The polish I layered this over is also from Sephora by OPI and it is called Henna-thing is Possible. 

OPI Venice Collection

I'm a little late in sharing this, but today I have part of OPI's fall collection on the blog today! This year's collection was inspired by Venice. I've never been, so those of you who have should let me know if this captures the feel of the city. At first glance not a lot of the colors really look like fall at all. I didn't get them all, but I have most of the collection here. 

Cirque Colors Icon Duos for Nordstrom Opening Ceremony Pop-In

Press Sample

Today I have three gift sets from Cirque Colors to share with you! The three gift sets are available through Nordstrom for their Icon Duos Opening Ceremony Pop-In and are available now through January 3rd. I have blogged about the Nordstrom Pop-ins before, but as a recap, these are only available for a limited time through specific Nordstrom locations (listed at the end) or online at Nordstrom.com. These three sets retail for $22 each and are a perfect small gift for a polish lover! Each set comes with one creme and one holographic, which makes them perfect for nail art.

KBShimmer Hexy Bikini

KBShimmer Hexy Bikini has been on my list for a while and now I have it! It is a beautiful glitter bomb, and I definitely need more glitter bombs in my life. It is generally silver toned, but has a ton of color in it as well. Most of the glitter is multisized and hex shaped.
