Zoya Fire & Ice (Flame) Collection

Hi! I know I haven't post in awhile. I was sick for the past week and I'm finally feeling better. Still coughing and voice is still rasping but other than that I'm good. So forgive me :)

So anyways, today I have Zoya's new Fire & Ice Collection, which recently the collection's name was changed to Flame collection. This collection consists of 6 gorgeous colors with a foil like finish.

All pictures were taken under artificial light.


Tiffany a soft peachy copper shimmer


Gloria is a rosey pink shimmer


Crystal is a turquoise blue with gold flecks


Lisa is a red shimmer with reddish flecks


Sarah a magenta shimmer with red and pink flecks


Valerie is a plum purple with light purple flecks

Overall this collection is stunning. I loved all six shades, but my favorite has to be Crystal. I love how the orangey/gold/copper flecks work with the turquoise. Very unique color. Formula was the typical Zoya formaul, smooth and perfect in every way. All were under two coats.

And that's all I have for today!

MAC Venomous Villains Nail Lacquers

Yay! I finally have the MAC's Venomous Villains Nail Lacquers done today (2 months late). I know its all absolutely sold out now and that evil eBay is having it for prices beyond imaginable.

I spent quite a lot of money on this collection. Being that I absolutely love Disney, and of course MAC. Them collaborating is like me having a dream come true! Below is everything that I bought from the collection. I do not regret spending money on these because I love the colors and everything. My wallet wasn't happy though, but that's OK xD

Anyway, here are the swatches of the nail lacquers:

Formidable is a plum-ish base with blue and pink flecks of shimmer. Yes very similar to Orly's Galaxy Girl


Mean & Green is a brownish green base with purple and golden shimmer. And yes very similar to Orly's Space Cadet


Bad Fairy is a red shimmer with hints of gold and orangey shimmer

As you can see, Bad Fairy is the only one worth buying since Formidable and Mean & Green have dupes. What I wished they did was slap on Maleficient's picture on the polish bottle like they did with the Hello Kitty's. That would've made the polish more special and unique. They were all under three coats and application was pretty good. Had no problems.

OPI Designer Series Radiance & Magic

Today I have the two new OPI Designer Series Radiance and Magic. I honestly feel a little disappointed with these new DS polishes coming out because all the old ones were holo. And there's no holo in these :( But they're still pretty..

Radiance is a silver foil which was opaque in two coats. I actually liked this one a lot



Magic is a sapphire blue with blue and turquoise flecks. This one took 3 coats for full coverage

Radiance and Magic are both nice, but I do hope to see some more holos in the future for their Designer Series collections. Those were awesome!

Radiance is my favorite because it applied so nicely with no streaks. And we tend to have that problem with 'metallic' so I'm pretty impressed with the application.

Well that's all I have for today!

China Glaze Vintage Vixen Collection

Hi all! Today I finally have the China Glaze Vintage Vixen collection to show. During my weeks of swatching there was absolutely no sun at all, therefore all pictures were taken under artificial light (which I pretty much prefer since its most color accurate)

I'm so glad to finally swatch fall collections because I'm loving all the fall colors as I'm a little "sick" of the summer colors. As we all know that's just temporary xD

On with the swatches!


Swing Baby - a silver/gold shimmer with foil finish. Very bling like


Riveter Rouge - a strong golden red shimmer


Midnight Mission - dark blue shimmer, has silver flecks


Jitterbug - a light charcoal silver foil. Has a little blue and a little purple in it. But mostly silver.


Ingrid - chocolatey taupe with silver flecks of shimmer. LOVE


Hey Doll - a bronzey brown shimmer


Goin' My Way - golden brown shimmer. A little close to bronze but more brown toned.


Foxy - a fire red bronze shimmer


First Class Ticket - dark purple shimmer. Picture shows a little more blue than purple.


Emerald Fitzgerald - a dark green/teal shimmer


Classic Camel - mustardy beige with golden shimmers. LOVE


Bogie - a sort of an eggplant purple metallic ish.

I love this collection. The colors are great for fall. And their formula was good. Some were a little leaky but not too much. My favorite is Classic Camel and Ingrid.

I'm looking forward to their 'Tis the Season to be Naughty And Nice collection. Though not much colors interest me there. I need to see more swatches before I'm convinced to buy the whole collection. Though I'm really interested in that peppermint cuticle oil. I might even buy two sets just so I can get that peppermint oil lol

Well that's all I have for today. I have a few hours to spare before I head to class, time to relax :) Enjoy your Sunday guys! And for those who have Columbus Day off, enjoy that as well!
