Zoya Exchange- Part IV

And now ladies & gents, here the the fourth and final entry in my Zoya exchange haul. Enjoy!

Zoya Sloane copy Zoya Exchange  Part IV

Sloane is quite simply, awesome and I’m not sure why I didn’t already have this! It’s a super vampy deep purple that has hints of brown and red. The shimmer is red colored. This is a definite must have for those who like vampy colors. This was three coats.

Zoya Exchange – Part III

And here we have Part III of my Zoya exchange haul! Sorry the descriptions are so short, I am not feeling good today and just have zero imagination right now.

Zoya Kotori copy Zoya Exchange   Part III

Kotori is a really cool glittery blue. It’s a navy blue and the glitter is really fine and light blue. It is pretty sheer so I needed three coats and could have even used four.  But that’s fine with me because it’s not like anything else I own.

Zoya Exchange – Part II

Here is my second installation of my Zoya exchange haul. These colors were all awesome in their own way and I am super happy to own them. No application problems with any. Why? Because Zoya rocks!

Oh and I know I said no more words on the pics, but these are old which is why they are on there. Sorry for the wishy-washiness!

Zoya Charisma copy Zoya Exchange   Part II

Charisma is really one you MUST see in person to believe. This is officially now my favorite pink ever. In the bottle it looked like a watery bright purple and I was sure I would hate it. What came out was a stunning bright blue based fuchsia that is so mesmerizing! Granted, it is sheer at first and jelly like so I needed a good three coats. Plus it’s dull and flat with no top coat, so I used a top coat here to shine it up for you and show it’s true potential. Amazing, right?

Dazzle Dry Morocco Collection for Spring 2009

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I am just so burned out by the time I get home I just can’t deal with MORE computer work! Today I have Dazzle Dry’s new collection for spring 2009 called Morocco. I will tell you now I know next to nothing about Morocco other than it’s dry, hot and desert like. I picture people on camels with long flowy colored scarves riding across a big sand dune. And that about sums it up. So really, I have no clue where the idea for these colors came from, but I assume they did some research, haha! Keep in mind that Dazzle Dry polish is very dull when you don’t use their top coat and I don’t use top coats in my pics so these are dull looking. They do shine up nicely though, so no worries and they dry SUPER fast, no joke!

Dazzle Dry Afternoon Delight Dazzle Dry Morocco Collection for Spring 2009

Afternoon Delight


Afternoon Delight is a really strange color. This reminds me of something out of the 1960′s for some reason. It’s very bland and somewhat ugly if I dare say so. There are very few colors that I just REALLY don’t like and this, Ladies & Gents, is one of them. The color is a rusted salmon pink/coral. The application was pretty good and it was opaque in two coats. It just does nothing for me and I wonder what in Morocco is this color?

Duri Nail Polish

Duri Cosmetics is a brand that is new to me and from what I have seen so far, I am REALLY happy to have discovered their polish line. These aren’t “new” colors, but they are colors I think a lot of you will really like and want to try out. The application on all of these was really nice. Creamy, not too thick or thin and it dried fairly quickly. What I REALLY loved about all four of these is that they all have that “lit from within” effect and look amazing both inside and out in the sun!

Encore

Encore is a gorgeous jewel colored navy blue with light blue shimmer. It may not be the most original color on the planet for nail polish, BUT is it worth owning if you are a blue lover like me. This was three coats.
