Zoya Jubilee | Holiday 2018 Collection

Press Sample Things are moving along this month and I’m doing a little catch up on photos I did nearly a month ago, but with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, I hadn’t found time to type the posts yet. Today, we’re going to see a few of those posts – and we’re kicking it off with the Zoya Jubilee Holiday 2018 Collection. This is a 12 piece collection that ranges from neutrals to brighter, festive colors and some Pixie Dusts! There’s also an effects top coat. Let’s jump right in and take a look.

OPI Metamorphosis Collection

Press Samples of the OPIMetamorphosis Collection Happy Sunday everyone! I’ve got a lot going on this weekend, but I’m hoping to get a few posts going here. First up we’ll be looking at the OPI Metamorphosis Collection! This is a limited edition, 6 piece collection of polychromatic glitter particles that shimmer and shift. I’ll be showing all 6 shades over a black creme shade (Vapid Pessimist) but these look really nice over most deeper shades if you want to pair with purple or blue. We’re going to jump right in and take a look at all 6 shades. Just for reference (and so I don’t repeat it over and over) each photo is 1 coat of Vapid Pessimist and 1 coat of the topper, followed by top coat. OPI | Butterfly Me To The Moon OPI Butterfly Me To The Moon is a lighter blue to pink shifting shimmer with some…

China Glaze OMG Flashback Collection

Press Sample China Glaze OMG Flashback Collection I am so excited to share the China Glaze OMG Flashback Collection with you today! Back when the original OMG collection released, I wasn’t blogging yet. Back then I got my nails done at a salon, usually just a simple French Manicure on my acrylic nails. By the time I got into doing my own nails, sans acrylic, the price for the original China Glaze OMG Collection was too much for this poor mama. But the China Glaze OMG Flashback arrived, and it’s just as beautiful as I had hoped! For the majority of my swatches, I did use my indoor lighting. I get home from work at night, so I had very little sunlight to work with. I did manage to do a skittle mani of 5 of the shades and snap a picture outside before the sunlight disappeared though – it will…
