Pretty, pretty color. Love the result. Getting it on the nail isn't as easy. The formula was goopey and thick. I got some bubbles on the left hand, too. Zoya and bubbles seems to be a reoccurring theme for me.

SH Xtreme Purple Pizzazz
This is a purple jelly with fuchsia microglitter. 3 coats. It tends to look totally different in different lighting. Sometimes you do not see the glitter at all and it looks like super shiny purple glass. In bright light it looks indigo or "blurple" with sparkling glitter. I love the jello-y look.
Misa Date Night to the Twilight
I wasn't head over hills over this polish. It looks different in different lighting. Its something of a frosty foil. I guess I'm sort of on the fence on this one. It can look less blue depending on the lighting.

OPI Funky Dunkey
I've had this polish since last summer and never wore it. Its a great medium purple cream! It applies really well, this is 2 coats. The name is sort of lame... I guess donkey doesn't rhyme with funky.
China Glaze LOL
They might be laughing out loud, because this is the least holo color in the OMG Collection. Its a fabulous purple, but the holo is just a hint. These are linear holos, meaning the particles are tiny and the rainbow reflection is very tight and organized. These are my favorite holos. I do wish they would come back again. The Tronica China Glaze collection, this spring, is a scattered and dull holo. I didn't buy any. They're exclusively at Sally's and Cosmoprof.

Zoya Stacey
Now that I see the pictures, this looks a heck of a lot like Orly Plum Noir! I love these sorts of colors. Its a fair bit darker than I expected based on the bottle and color drops. It looks quite vampy on me, almost black, but definitely not black.

OPI DS Magic
You may have wondered where I disappeared to. Just a heck of a lot going on. I've been less than healthy over the past few weeks. I think I have got SAD (seasonal affective disorder), too. It gets dark about 4:30 now. I can't stand this time of year.
I put this polish on tonight, thinking it might cheer me up. Its so beautiful! Glittery and duochromey, though you cannot see that in my photos. It shifts to purple.
Zoya Valerie
I thought Valerie would be more purple than it is. Really, its more of a wine color than a purple. This photo might lean a little more red than it really is. My other photo leans more purple than it really is. So somewhere in the middle.
Zoya Jacy
This photo is much more color accurate. You can see the hidden shimmer if you look close. A really pretty color.
Zoya Jacy
This photo is not very color accurate, but it shows the hidden shimmer of Jacy, which sadly was difficult to observe on the nail.
Orly Out of This World
This is a gorgeous polish. I feel like I am seeing it everywhere, though. Most noteably in my recent Zoya haul. Julieanne looks a heck of a lot like this polish. I haven't compared them, but I'm going to guess they're close.

Gradient Mani
I have never received so many compliments on a manicure in one day! Customers were telling me all day how much they liked it.
I did this gradient mani last night. It was easy and fun. I used ChG Frostbite as a base. I added Zoya Ivanka first at the cuticle end, then put OPI DS Magic on the tips, then I used SH HD DVD in the middle to blend them together with the help of a little Orly Smudge Fixer. The smudge fixer smooths and blends the colors together.
I am loving these new foil-glitter polishes. Zoya's Sparkle Collection, OPI's Summer Flutter Collection, and Sally Hansen HD Ultra all have polishes with this awesome finish.
