BB Couture has added two fantastic greens to their recent avalanche of new colors. I am LOVING all these fabulous colors!! The application of these was great, I had no problems whatsoever. I have changed my pics a little. I decided that writing the name of the polish on the pic looks tacky and takes away from the picture so no more of that! I also made them slightly larger. Check ‘em out!

Venom

Venom is so cool! It’s an icy mint green that’s both metallic and shimmery at the same time. I definitely do not own any of green that looks like this, so that’s a huge extra plus in my book! Though it was metallic I didn’t have streaks. This was perfect in just two coats.

Here begins a four part series of my Zoya exchanges. I exchanged 19 old polishes that I didn’t love for some spankin’ new Zoya’s, I mean who could resist that offer? So here we go with Part I, enjoy!

Addison is kind of a strange color on me. It’s a flesh colored taupe-y pink with light gold shimmer. It looked super duper neutral on me, which is fine, but generally I like something with more *pizazz*. The application was great, as most Zoya’s are. This was three coats.

The same friend who turned me onto O2 Skin nail polish also was able to snag me some of the infamous OPI Yokohama’s, which were exclusive to Japan. They have leaked into other places like China, Australia and New Zealand and you can find them here if you Google it, but people are charging between $26-29 bucks per bottle, which is outrageous! Two of the colors I really wanted were gone when she went to pick them up, so I have only two to show, but they are really great anyway!

Baby Blue really isn’t “blue” per se. It’s more of a blue/green with a very strong yellow duochrome effect. It’s like nothing else I own and so fabulous! The application was fabulous if a wee bit sheer. The color reminds me of mermaid scales, if such a thing existed. This was three coats.
