Remember when I showed you Deborah Lippmann 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer in Sweet Dreams? Well here is her darker sister, Ray Of Light.
The formula with this baby is thick. SUPER thick. Not that easy to work with and much thicker than my experience with Sweet Dreams.
Wet n Wild Fauna Collection is the “sweet sister” to Flora which I showed yesterday. Both are limited edition sets and available starting in mid March.
Fauna is the cooler toned of the sets. This will suit fair-skinned folks maybe better than Flora will.

Have you heard of Sheswai Lacquer yet? I reviewed them awhile back and now they have three new colors out for spring/summer.
Sheswai is big-3 free and the caps are made from sustainably harvested wood from family owned tree farms. In fact, they are the first ones in the industry to use this type of cap, reducing the need for plastic. Not only are they eco-conscious, the caps are really nice, and possibly my favorite ones from any brand!
Oh and did you see how pretty the design on the front of the bottle is?
Zoya Beach and Surf are the new summer collections for 2012, inspired by the sea and sand!
There are twelve new colors in all, six in each collection. Beach focuses on mostly creme colors and Surf is all about foils!
The formula for Beach overall was pretty good. There were some slight streaking issues with a couple, but they mostly worked out. All but one were two coats. The formula with the Surf colors was great. Creamy amazing foils. Applied like butter, and all just two coats.
Ready to get your bright pop of summer color on?

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics has a new collection out called The Garden Collection this spring/summer.
This collection features five new Nail Lacquers (and a re-promote), five Loose Colour Concentrates, and six new Lip Tars. It was inspired by poisonous and psychotropic plants (oooh groovy!) as well as more earthy tones found in nature.
Recently OCC changed their bottle shape from a soft square to this harder rectangle shape. I like the way they look and line up. However, and this only really applies to those blogging about nail polish, the shape makes it really hard to hold and get an attractive photo of your hands! So I apologize in advance for the lame finger angles, but I did my best with my short digits.
