Zoya Reverie Spring 2010 Collection

I love pink/green duochrome shimmer. I LOVE it. And every single color in Zoya's Reverie Collection for Spring 2010 has it. Oh sigh. It's so fucking purty.

This is a kind of "Valentine's Day" collection, made up of two pinks, two red/oranges, a purple and a silver all in incredibly thick rainbow microshimmer, so thick it's nearly a frost in application. You might see streaks when you put it on, but let it settle and it goes back to a sleek coat. Just try to be a bit even in your application and you should be okay. It's a good formula, Zoya pretty much always is, so it applies nicely and two coats did me for a nice opaque polish job. This absolutely needs topcoat though, for you non-topcoat wearers, as I found it dried a bit dull, but you should wear topcoat anyway. It brings out the full beauty of a nail polish (except a matte, of course).

You can't always see the duochrome effect in my pics, I think the purple, Adina, shows it well, and I think Reece shows the pink aspect okay. Just know it has it.

Also, just FYI While my nails get stronger and longer I'm wearing glue-ons. That's why suddenly they're all long and perfect. Got tired of broken short nails!

O! A Daily OPI! - OPI Glacier Bay Blues

This is one of my favorite blues of all time. It's a navy base with a duochrome shimmer in teal and cobalt. Here you can only see the cobalt, unfortunately, take my word for it the teal is amazing. A completely unique stunner.

Another Month of Zoyas! - Zoya Beyonnce

Zoya Beyonnce is a kind of rose/bronze duochrome with gold shimmer. It's very pretty and fun. I love polishes with something special in them like this. I don't see any reason Beyonnce couldn't be worn at work as well as be super hot out on the town. My picture does not do it justice.

Another Month of Zoyas! - Zoya Ki

Ahhh I wish I could truly capture the magnificence that is Zoya Ki. It's a base of shimmery charcoal, with a prismatic effect shimmer of purple, green and sometimes a flash of blue. Check the bottle to see all the colors it has, the nails only show the purple aspect. Sooooo cool. A big favorite of mine. if you like duochromes or dark shimmers you will not be disappointed.
