Zoya - Reece

So I got in my order of Zoya polishes!  So excited!  I was drawn to the duochrome ones, and so I started with Reece.  According to Zoya's website - they describe Reece as a Rose metallic duochrome.  A frosty hint of gold creates a unique "oil-slick" rose-gold.

Here she is!

I took two pictures - one with and without the flash because I wanted you to see the gold that was in the polish.

It's a beautiful mauve-rose color with a gold shimmer that is just stunning.

I liked the consistency too.  It was a thinner polish but covered well in the standard two coats.  Topped it off with some Seche Cite and voila!!!!

Hello Reece!!

Overall this is a gorgeous color that pictures do not do justice.

Different Dimension ~ Soft Kitty, Warm Kitty

I have been wanting to review this one for a long time. This is the 3rd polish of the Big Bang Theory Collection from Different Dimension. This polish misbehaved on me the first couple of times I tried it. It is pretty thick, and I didn't think I was skilled enough to put it on. Every time I did, I ended up taking it off in frustration.

So, I added some thinner and a couple more mixing balls. That seemed to do the trick:

From the Etsy listing, this polish is a creamy grey jelly base with tons of different sized white hex glitter, silver holographic glitter and grey glitter in different sizes.

This polish is not glitter heavy, and I think that is why I like it so much. Even though this polish almost defeated me, I kept on fighting it until I won :)

Orly - Glitz

So I was perusing the clearance at Sally's and came across a couple bottles of Orly.

I realized...I DON'T OWN ANY ORLY!!!

This must be rectified immediately.

So I picked up this little gem...

 

What a beautiful gold color!!
So in keeping with me flashy theme for my anniversary (which is today, Happy Anniversary, Todd) I decided to use this on my nails...

I ended up doing two coats - but let's be honest...it covered in one coat.  It is beautiful!!  A great color for fall and I picked it up for $2.79!!!

It looks good on short nails (since I had to trim mine after an unfortunate cleaning incident...I keep telling mu husband I need a maid - this way I won't paint my nails every other day...so far no luck...).

I would definitely see if Sally has this because it's really beautiful!!!!

Different Dimenision - Fifty Shades of Grey Collection - Red Room of Pain

So I was saving this one for a special occasion.  This Saturday my husband and I are celebrating our fifth wedding anniversary.  (I love you, Todd!)  I decided to overhaul the finger and toes and when thinking about our upcoming weekend away (just going to Denver, about an hour away) I decided to do red toenails.  Classic red.  Then I remembered the Red Room of Pain. 

I debated putting it on my toes because I know what it takes to get glitter off of nails.  The foil wrapped around my piggies?!?!  Did I want to do that???  Would I rather choose Christian's Red Room of Pain than go through the process of removing glitter from my toes???

Obviously I went through with it.  Please excuse my overpainting on the toes.  As some of you know, it's work to get down there and get the too look pretty.  The look a tad dry, and there is some paint where it shouldn't be but it's all good!!

So I started with Essie's Jag-U-Are.  It's a gorgeous red shimmer.  Here it is and here are my toes...

It's a really nice red.

So I started with one coat of Red Room of Pain (WHICH I LOVE!!!)

I offered pretty good coverage from the get go.  But it wasn't ENOUGH sparkle.  We were planning on going to a fancy dinner so these toes needed to be Ah-MAZING!!!!

Coat two (sorry for the blurry photos...my iPhone doesn't take the greatest photos...that or it's user error).

I love them, and so does Todd. 

Over all a great polish!!!  Only one more review to go in the collection.  More...

Which I have used but I forgot to photograph it...I know...silly me...
