A England Russian Soul Collection Review + Swatches

Hey everyone! I hope you've all had a lovely weekend. This weekend was my younger sister's birthday and father's day so it's been quite a busy one for me, but it's been nice to spend some time with my family. Today I've got a review of the gorgeous new A-England Russian Soul collection*. The collection consists of 5 majestic holographic glitters ranging from silver to navy, which are described as being inspired by 'Russian music and dance', and all of which are absolutely stunning. I'm still quite new to A-England but the polishes absolutely blow me away every time. Full review after the jump 




Waltz Of The Flowers* is a lovely lilac holographic. This was 2 easy coats, shown without topcoat. The first coat was quite thin and I had expected to need 3, but it evened out with the second coat.




Natasha's Dance/ War And Peace* is a black/blue holographic full of silver glitter. This was just one easy coat, which I was very impressed with. It dried fast and shiny but this is shown with one coat of HK Girl topcoat to see if it gave it anything extra, which it did but I think it was still beautiful without



Katyusha* is a slightly turqoise silver shade. I found this one to have the most visible brush strokes of them all, but it's not too noticeable once the polish has settled on your nail. This was 2 easy coats, shown without topcoat as it dried fast and shiny without



Polovetsian Dances* is a deep purple holographic. This was 2 easy coats but I definitely could have got away with one, I just wanted to see if the second made any difference. This is without topcoat as it dried fast and shiny without



And last but not least is Kalinka*, which is gorgeous lilac-leaning silver. I found this and Katyusha* very similar, except Katyusha is more turquoise-leaning. This was 2 easy coats, shown with topcoat but it looked the same without and it dried fast + shiny. 


What do you think? Do you own any of this collection? Let me know in the comments!

SquareHue June 2014 Box Swatches/Review

Hey guys! I have perhaps the best SquareHue shades ever made to share this morning. The June box totally and completely knocked it out of the park with three full-coverage, perfectly "summer" shades! This box was themed around Maui and I'll tell you what, I would wear any single one of these shades on a tropical vacation!

Wailea is warm peachy color, one of those classy neutral type of shades. This is two easy coats.


Ka'ahumanu is an incredible shade of turquoise. Seriously, if one color could epitomize the perfect ocean water, it would be this one. Two coats here as well. (And do me a favor and ignore that icky fuzz on my pinkie, okay? Cool.)


And last, but certainly not least, is the shimmery sky blue goodness of Ala Moana. So, so perfect. You guessed it, two easy coats.


Unbelievable. Seriously, how incredible is this collection? If you need a little push to sign up for your own SquareHue subscription, I think this is it. Go ahead and click on any of the links in this post and sign yourself up because honestly, $14.99 for these three polishes is a STEAL.

Cirque Heritage Collection Swatches/Review

Happy Monday everyone! I have some gorgeous holographic polishes from Cirque to share with you today to brighten up the beginning of your week! The Heritage collection is a seven piece collection of stunning holographic polishes.

Sky Woman is a periwinkle blue with a strong holographic effect. The pigmentation on this one is insane; I used two coats here but you could probably get away with one!


Panacea is a chartreuse green holographic polish. The formula on this one was a little thinner and definitely needs at least two coats for opacity.


Xochitl is a vivid shade of orchid with a super strong holographic effect. This is two coats. I love this one!


Cerrillos is my absolute favorite! I'm such a sucker for turquoise and this one is totally awesome. Two easy coats here.


Powwow is a vivid magenta holographic polish. Two coats here with a great formula.


Sani is a silver holographic. This isn't the strongest silver holo I've ever seen, but it is really pretty and has a great formula.


Luminous Owl is a fabulous warm coral holographic. I loveeeee coral! Coral and turquoise are my very favorite colors and this collection has both! I used two coats of polish here.


The Heritage collection is available now on Cirque's website and at these select retailers. Go grab yourself at least one of these; the colors are so unique and the formulas are awesome! Which is your favorite? Mine is a tie between Cerrillos and Luminous Owl... betcha didn't see that coming! ;)

OPI Taylor Blue Review/Swatch

Good morning everyone! Today I have a very special polish to show you called OPI Taylor Blue. Taylor Blue is made for the Taylor's Gift Foundation, which works to increase the amount of people who are registered organ donors. The foundation is named after Taylor Paige Storch, who died at the age of thirteen, but saved or improved the lives of five different people because she was an organ donor.


The color is a fantastic shade of creamy turquoise and was perfect in two coats. The cost for each bottle of polish is a $10 donation to the Taylor's Gift Foundation. You can also choose to contribute more to the foundation or purchase a holiday gift pack, which includes a Taylor's Gift book and two Taylor's Gift bracelets.


This is a cause that I feel very strongly about and I think it's great that Taylor's Gift was able to team up with OPI to offer this polish! I know I'll be wearing this gorgeous shade often, especially in the summer months. To purchase Taylor Blue, please visit the Taylor's Gift store. I'm an organ donor, are you?

Zoya Zenith Collection Review/Swatches

Goooood morning! Today I have the Zoya Zenith collection that I'm excited to share with you. This collection is amazing; Zoya really knows how to deliver!

Cassedy is a beautiful pewter metallic that leans slightly green. This is two easy coats.


Seraphina is the most delicate pale silver shimmer to ever grace my nails. This is three thin coats.


Belinda is a deep, juicy purple that radiates blue shimmer when the light hits just right. This is two coats.


Payton is a warm deep maroon shade with flecks of holographic glitter. Gorgeous color and great formula; this is two coats.


Dream has the same finish as Payton, but is a rich royal blue shade instead. Same great formula and coverage: two coats here.


Mosheen is a distractingly pretty top coat consisting of iridescent bar and round glitter in shades of turquoise. This is two coats over Sailor from Zoya's Cashmere collection.


The Zenith collection is available now on www.zoya.com and each polish retails for $8. You can also purchase the set packaged together for $48. I'm curious what you guys think of Zoya's take on holographic polishes. Do you love them or wish they were more holographic?

KBShimmer The Grape Beyond & Would Jubilee It? Review/Swatches

For those of you who have never experienced this brand before, KBShimmer is an awesome company headed by Christy, a fantastic lady who makes equally fantastic polishes and other products! KBShimmer is celebrating it's 5th year in business this month and to celebrate, Christy designed this beautiful polish duo. These two shades will be sold separately, but were created to work well together.

The Grape Escape is a medium matte purple polish with turquoise shimmer. The first coat of this polish was a little bit streaky, but the second coat evened out perfectly.


This is two coats of The Grape Escape with topcoat. I love how the topcoat makes the turquoise shimmer really pop! This is definitely one of my favorite color combos!


Would Jubilee It? is a glitter topper created with all of Christy's favorite glitter (which happen to be a lot of mine, too!). This clear base is packed with fuchsia, aqua, and silver circle glitter, as well as a mix of other glitter. This is two coats over The Grape Escape.


This duo will be launching on August 8th on KBShimmer's website. As always, keep updated with them on Facebook for all the first looks at new shades! Will you be picking up one or both of these shades? You know that I totally recommend that you do!

Disney Princess Nail Art Series: Jasmine

A lot of you guys were really excited about my Disney Princess nail art series so I finally have another princess for you! This design is based off of Jasmine's head band (from Aladdin, for those of you poor unfortunate souls who have never seen it).


I used Zoya Wednesday for the base color. On the ring finger, I sponged China Glaze First Mate and I think OPI Can't Find My Czechbook to create the jewel. I painted a bit of white on the top to make it look like it was reflecting light and then surrounded the whole jewel with a dark gold.

So what do you think of it? I know it's a little simpler than some of my other nail art, but I really like how it turned out! Did you get what it was meant to be right away?
