The second collection Zoya has for summer 2009 is called La-Di-Da. These are cremes and four of them in particular are neons (though they call them Ultra Brights). Pics taken in sun/clouds with no top coat.

So as you know neons are notoriously hard to get true pictures of. Pippa is brighter than this pic but its not as screaming yellow as some. The yellow of this one is really nice and sunny, almost lemony. This is one yellow I can wear, yay! This was streaky the first two coats but mostly evened out after the third.

Holy brightness Batman! Color Club’s new collection for summer 2009 is a very vivid one called Electro Candy. These colors are definitely in the “neon” category (with shimmer!) though my pictures don’t necessarily show that. Neon’s are really hard to photograph, at least for me, so trust me when I say these are even brighter in person. Pics taken in sun with their color enhancing top coat.

The Cherish collection for summer 2009 is my first experience with the Spa Ritual brand. I really like the bottle design, it’s unique and somehow very pleasing to hold. The bottle top has a “grippy” texture to it which makes the caps easy to open, especially when you have lotion slathered all over your hands. I didn’t have any application issues with these other than where mentioned below. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

Hi Internet! Precision is a brand of polish I just tried for the first time and I think I might be hooked…This collection is their spring 2009 collection called Color FX. It’s a really great group of bright festive colors and not a boring one to be had here. The application was different depending on which color, so I’ll make notes of that below. Pics taken in sun with no top coat.

This is a really great melon-y/coral colored polish that was sheer and jelly like as far as the formula. I needed three good coats to make it opaque enough for me, but it did apply nicely. Very flattering and bright, I really like it!

Evening peeps! Hope you are having a fun filled Saturday night! I had a great time in Napa today, the weather was so awesome. I ate a wonderful meal and went to an authentic European castle/winery in Calistoga (I want to share some pics with you of this so check for a new post soon!). Also got a wee bit of shopping in and got a ROCKIN leather Coach purse for $100 bucks at the outlet stores, yay! Ok enough about that, I also managed to do some swatching of Barielle’s new collection called Sugar Rush for summer. It’s totally gorgeous and I LOVE each and every color. It’s my favorite summer collection so far! Unless otherwise noted, the formula was really great on all of these. All pics taken in sun with no top coat.
