Impala Nail Color is a Brazilian brand that recently launched in the US! Yay for news brands for us!

Their polishes are 3-free and many of them are also hypoallergenic. They have a pretty wide variety of shades and finishes as well.

There are two things to note with this polish. One is that yes, the bottles are shaped a little different from most in the US. I don’t love the shape but it didn’t have any negative effect in the application. I actually found the pointed tip easy to hold and manage. The one issue I had was the wand tends to get super flooded, so I had to wipe it and the brush off quite a lot before I applied the polish.

Zoya Irresistible for summer 2013 features six shimmery metallic shades for your nails.

The NARS Pierre Hardy Nail Polish collection is new and was inspired by his summer 2013 shoe collection. Yep, he’s a shoe designer! I had no idea who he was until I saw the press release. Oops.

What is super cute about this collection is that the nail polishes come in a mini “shoe box” and as a pair. Inside are two complementary shades and also a dust bag (which his shoes also come with). Cute idea!

There are six pairs in all to choose from.

This is how they look inside with the dust bag snug in the middle.

Cult Nails In the Garden is a new spring collection featuring five new shades in various finishes.

In the Garden is really a perfect set of shades for spring. It’s very reminiscent of what is actually in MY garden blooming right this second!

There are three wax finish shades here, which dry matte. They are thicker and a bit harder to work with but not impossible. They look great either matte or with a top coat and I’ve shown you both below.
