In an effort to actually get these polishes posted, I decided to swatch. Swatch as in 2 or 3 coats. No base coat, no top coat. Because I'm trying to get this stuff up here. :)
Zoya Kalista... A really pretty burgundy/maroon shimmer. Almost opaque in 1 coat, but this is two. Dried very quick.
Kelly. You've all seen it, you know you have. :) It actually looks like it's supposed to in this pic, but in real life, it is waaaaay purple on my fingers. I'm so disappointed in how it looks in real life, it's getting sent to the bestie.
Skye. Fleshy, slightly shimmery, pink color. I was going for the mannequin hands look when I bought it, but am trying to decide if I still like it.
Ibiza. A beautiful, beautiful blackened blue. Pearly finish that isn't brush stroke-y at all. It stains like a mother though. Seriously, this one was on for less than 3 minutes and my nails were blue. Very blue.
Harley. Very pretty silver/grey lilac with pale purple and sliver shimmer. 
Freja is a gunmetal grey that is totally fabulous. I absolutely love me a gunmetal grey. I love that it is a soft shimmer, not a chunky glittery polish.
Cola. I hate this one. Absolutely hate it. Took 3 coats to get a spotty finish. 
Blair. Blair is a deep, berry red that is very shimmery. It's one of those glow-from-within pretty polishes. This one was practically opaque in the first coat. *whew!* That's all my Zoyas. Until I get the new ones that I ordered during the exchange. :)
Now I wish I had gotten Kalista and Freja in the swap. I forced myself to get lighter colors so we'll see.

I like both of those, so you can't have them. :) there'll be another opportunity soon, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBestie Out back at you! ;P
