Zoya Calm Spring 2020 Collection

Hello there! Are you ready to check out the Zoya Calm Spring 2020 Collection?

Zoya Calm features six new, muted shades. Five of these are cremes and one is a soft shimmer. All of them really are calming, mellow colors. For some reason they remind me of the kinds of shades you might see in a spring wedding.

These had a good formula and the coverage was pretty nice. Only one of them required three coats for me.

ORLY Birds of Prey

Happy Wednesday friends! Today I’ve got the ORLY Birds of Prey trio for ya. You have probably heard by now that Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) is coming to movies soon. February 7th to be exact.

I was sent a box filled with movie-related goodies like a shirt and choker (available at Hot Topic), three Smashbox Always On Cream to Matte Lipsticks (available on their site and Macy’s), Splat Semi-Permanent Hair Dye (available at Target, Walmart, CVS, Walgreens and Rite Aid) and the three limited edition ORLY nail colors (available on the ORLY site).

Two of the nail polishes are neons and one is a glitter that makes a nice topper. Everything was swatched over a ridge-filing base coat and I only needed two coats.

OPI Mexico City

Why hello and welcome to the OPI Mexico City collection! This collection features twelve new shades all inspired by the bright and festive shades of the city.

For this collection OPI partnered with a native Mexican artist named Sofia Castellanos, who is known for her illustrations and murals. Her artwork is featured on select packaging throughout the campaign.

The formula was good with these. Most of the light shades tended to be three coats for me and the medium and dark shades were just two coats.

OPI Hue is the Artist?

TGIF and say hello to essie gel couture timeless tweeds!

essie gel couture timeless tweeds is their take on not not-so-neutral classics in pinks and browns. There are four cremes and two shimmers in the collection and I definitely get Chanel tweed suit vibes from the shades.

Nearly all six of these covered nicely with two coats. One was a three-coater though, and a bit problematic for me. More on that later!
