OPI Holland Collection 2012 - Swatches and Review - Part 1

Happy Friday! So glad this week is over and on to a healthier happier week. Today I have the OPI Holland Collection to share with you. This is the first of two posts dedicated to the collection. I started with the shimmers because they're one of my favorite finishes. All of the polishes were photographed using indoor lighting to showcase the shimmer.

Pedal Faster Suzi! - pink base with tiny silver/white shimmer. The formula is a medium thickness and slightly sheer so I used 3 coats but probably could have gotten away with two. This is one of my favorites from this half of the collection.

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes - dirty rose pink with matching shimmer. I wasn't sure how this would look against my skin tone but I like it. It has a slightly thicker formula than Pedal Faster Suzi! and only needed 2 coats.

I Don't Give A Rotterdam!- Smokey light denim blue base with silver shimmer. I'm in love with this one. Two coats to perfection!
I Have A Herring Problem - the sister to I Don't Giver A Rotterdam! It also has a smokey blue base with silver shimmer but there's a touch of green giving it a darker tone. I could have gotten away with 2 coats but I added a 3rd.

Wooden Shoe Like To Know? - light brick red-brown with copper-red shimmer. I used two coats.

Dutch'ya Just Love OPI? - medium purple with copper-red shimmer. My camera totally changed the color of this one. It's more of a dusty medium purple. I used two coats for to make it opaque.


OPI successfully captured a few of the Spring color trends for 2012. Most of the polishes from this half of the collection have an earthy feel to them but it's balanced on the nail with the addition of shimmer. Overall I'm pleased with this half of the collection. My favorites are I Don't Give A Rotterdam, Dutch-ya Just Love OPI? and Pedal Faster Suzi!

The Holland Collection by OPI will be available Spring 2012, at Professional Salons and Spas. For more information 800-341-9999 or visit www.opi.com.

Zoya Fleck Effects Collection 2012, Swatches and Review

Hello everyone! I'm still slightly under the weather. It's quite funny that I've tried so many things to make myself feel better and today the only thing that worked was painting my nails. Polish makes me happy. It just feels natural to me. Anyways, I wanted to take a moment and thank you all for your sweet comments. I'm still slightly behind on catching up with everything in my life but I hope to be on track soon!

Today I want to share the Zoya Fleck Effects Collection with you. This Collection consists of a green, blue and pink flecked topcoat that can be layered and applied over several colors to create a 3-D effect. I believe they look best over a black creme which is what I used below.

Maisie - Aqua flakie that flashes blue and green in a sheer turquoise base. This was my favorite from the collection. It makes my nails look like the Sea!

Opal - Green flakie in a sheer green base. It flashes a bright green and shifts to a blue.

Chloe - Sheer pink base with two types of flakes. One flashes red to orange. The other flashes green to blue, but my camera couldn't capture this one. It's quite beautiful on the nail.

Opal over Chloe - For fun I added a little Opal to Chloe. Love the look!

A closer view of the pretties.

I applied one coat of each Fleck to create the above looks. They all applied well and removed easily. The concentration of Flecks is what I would consider medium. They're not as thick as Essie's flakies and not as thin as FingerPaints. I like that you can layer the Flecks to create the look that you want. I think it gives you more control over the outcome when you can layer the polish to your own personal taste. Overall I think they're pretty Jazzy! My favorites from the set are Maisie and Chloe.

Zoya Flecks Collection can be purchased from Zoya.com

A Couple of NOTD's

I thought I'd share a couple of NOTD's from last week. First up is Nebula by NerdLacquer.

Isn't she amazing!

Next is a Black Knight Franken. I used the recipe by ChalkBoard Nails.

Last but not least. I added a few Fairies using the Red Angel image plates.

I loved wearing both of these manis. I constantly found myself staring at them throughout the day. The glitter is gorgeous but not too distracting for work.






I hope you enjoyed. Thanks for stopping by :)
