I wanted to show you guys another Zoya polish from the Sunshine collection today - Tanzy. It is a really bright, fun orange shimmer. I love the finish (Zoya's flecked finish is probably my favorite polish finish. I love the irregularity). I love the orange with golden shimmer. I wish the color were a tad darker, but that could totally be fixed by layering this polish over a red base. Also - it is a bit sheer, but nothing that another coat of polish wouldn't have fixed. I'm really happy with all of the polishes I've purchased from this collection so far.

Zoya: Kimmy
I like this polish - it is bright and sparkley, which are my favorite things. Though if you're interested in this shade of polish check out the comparison at The Phalanges Files, and see if you'd be more interested in Hard Candy's Lava. I actually prefer the prominent orange quality of Lava to Kimmy.

Zoya: Rica
I loveeeeeeeee this polish. Love love love. This is everything I wanted Zoya's Tiffany to be, but wasn't. I didn't even know that Tiffany could be made more amazing. But Zoya's Rica truly is awesome. It is the perfect pink/coral color with golden foil. J a'dore. It is so bright and summary. I have been wearing it on my toes literally for 3 weeks - ever since I got it.

Nicole by OPI: Sea How Far You Go
This is the first Nicole by OPI that I've tried.... and I love it! It is such a unique color! Olivey green with tons of gold shimmer mixed in.
And in the shade, it looks even more golden.
Definitely grab this if you're into weird polish colors.
OPI: Peach-A-Boo
Here is a gorgeous golden/peach/pink sheer polish from OPI, Peach-A-Boo. Generally I hate polishes that show my nail line, because I feel like my nails look dirty, but I like this polish a lot. Next time I'd definitely layer it over a opaque nude polish, but I still like it on its own.
Gorgeousss shimmer. <3.

Orly: Rockin Rocket
Another polish I only have a lukewarm feeling for. I think I'd love it more in the fall. For some reason I expected or wished for the base color to be lighter, but it has a lot of deep dark red/brown in it. I like the golden shimmer - but I was kind of hoping for a dark red version of Zoya Tiffany. Oh well - like I said, I'm sure come October I will think this is the best polish in the world.

OPI: Cozu-melted In The Sun
Today I wanted to show you the polish I've been wearing most of this week for my numerous interviews. OPI Cozu-melted in the Sun is a fantabulous peachy golden shimmer polish. Perfect for interviews - conservative yet blingtastic in the sun.

Sally Hansen: Coral Amber
I got this polish after seeing tons of gorgeous pictures of Sally Hansen Prisms all of the internet. And I checked ebay to see if they had any.. and they certainly did. I found someone selling a lot of 10 polishes for like 20 bucks. So.. I jumped at it. This was the polish I was most excited about - a gorgeous duochrome that is mostly orange but in the bottle has a huge golden flash. Well - unfortunately it doesn't play out that way on the nail. It just looks like regular old orange. A very pretty orange - but plain old orange nonetheless. So this polish was a huge letdown. Hopefully the others will be better.
Oh and also, this polish was extremely sheer. I suppose these were meant for layering. This was 5 coats.
Nina Ulta Pro: Candi Apple
I found this at Sally's and just had to try it because I'm constantly on the search for a nice bright red with golden shimmer. This isn't exactly bright, but I still really like it. I can't wait to wear it a lot in the late summer/fall.

Revlon: Gold Get 'Em w/ Galaxy
Here is the other set of Revlon polishes that I bought. This is a very sheer gold, Gold Get 'Em, and it came with a dark blue glitter with some holo hex glitter thrown in. This gold is not only very sheer, but very light. And shimmery. I actually kind of like it now that I am looking back on it. I think it would be great to wear in a conservative work environment.
On to the pictures...
And with one coat of Galaxy:
And two coats:
I'm not a fan of this combination. I think the glitter would look much much better with a dark blue or black polish.
