Twinsie Tuesday - Favorite Discontinued Polish

It's Twinsie Tuesday and today we're talking about our favorite discontinued polish. I've actually blogged about quite a few of these in my Throwback Thursday posts and I guest posted my absolute favorite, OPI DS Glamour, over on Amandaladish's blog a couple of months ago.  So this won't be my absolute favorite, but a favorite. Unfortunately there are just way too many fabulous discontinued polishes out there and I still had a hard time picking one, but I'm going with China Glaze Emerald Sparkle.

Emerald Sparkle is like the deep green version of the ever popular China Glaze Ruby Pumps.  It's green, it's glittery, it has lots of depth and it's discontinued! To add insult to injury one of the batches was a dud (while it's not ugly, it's not green glitter jelly goodness).  It originally came out as a part of the Holiday 2008 collection, but was limited edition. China Glaze if you're reading this (which they probably aren't), bring it back a long with one in every color!

Don't forget to check out the other Twinsies and their favorite discontinued polishes!

Cirque Colors Metropolis Collection for April 2015

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Hope your week started off well! Today I have the April additions to Cirque Colors' Metropolis Collection.  Every month Cirque Colors releases one or two creme polishes that have been inspired by the city of New York.  This month's colors are Vigo and Sunset Park.

Vigo is described as an "orchid pink creme."  It's the perfect Radiant Orchid color that was last year's color of the year.  I had no application issues with this one.  This is 2 coats.

Sunset Park is a beautiful bright coral creme.  This will definitely be going on my toes this summer!  I love corals like this!  Again, nice application.  This is 2 coats.

Both of these are lovely, but Sunset Park has my heart! It's the perfect spring/summer color! Vigo and Sunset Park will be available from CirqueColors.com starting April 1st and will retail for $13 USD each.  Make sure to follow Cirque Colors for the latest updates on upcoming collections!

Spring Nail Art Featuring Zoya Tiana

Press Sample

Hi everyone!  About a month ago Zoya asked some bloggers to create some nail art with polish from their Delight Collection.  My color is Tiana, a beautiful pastel green creme which was one of my favorites from the collection.  Since it's spring, I decided to go with some simple flowers.

Colors Used:

• Zoya Tiana
• Zoya Dana
• Zoya Pippa

How I did it:

1. Paint your nails with Zoya Tiana and allow to completely dry.
2. Put a few drops of Zoya Dana on a piece of plastic, or paper plate, etc.
3. Using a dotting tool or a bobby pin place five dots of Zoya Dana in a circle on the corner of your nail, then put a dot of Dana in the center.  Do this on all of your nails.
4. For your accent nail, repeat #3 until you have the desired amount of flowers.  Then place random dots of Dana and Pippa between the flowers
5. Top coat it and you're done!

You can always skip the accent nail and  just have a flower in the corner on all of your nails.  Have a great weekend!

Firecracker Lacquer Everyone I Love is Dead Collection (partial)

Press Sample

Hi everyone! Hope you've been having a great week. It's almost Friday! Today I have a few of Firecracker Lacquer's Everyone I Love is Dead Collection.  Can you guess what popular tv/book series this was inspired by?

First up is Water Black as Night.  It's a bright almost neon green with lots of green shimmer and some holo glitters.  It also glows green in the dark.  This one is on the sheer side, but does build up and has a nice application.  It dries gritty and needs an extra layer or 2 of topcoat if you want more of a smooth surface.  This is 3 coats.

Can Your Sword Cut Cold is another one that glows in the dark, but this one glows blue.  In the light it's a sheer milky blue with blue shimmer and blue holo hex glitter.  I'm thinking it would be nice layered over a baby blue creme.  Although sheer, it has a nice application.  This is 3 coats.

How to Kill a Mountain is a pale buttercup yellow/off white creme with red hex glitter.  I'd love to have the base on it's own because I'm a sucker for colors like this.  The first coat is streaky, but it builds nicely.  This is 3 coats.

The last one that I have is A Marriage Marred by Murder.  This one is a red jelly black and silver glitter and green shards.  The green shards end up looking black in the red base though.  Application was nice, but I got the occasional shard that just didn't want to lay still.  This is 3 coats.

I have to say my favorite of these four is A Marriage Marred by Murder.  Can't wait to see swatches of the rest of the collection.  There are 7 in total.  The Everyone I Love is Dead Collection will be available April 2nd 6pm MST at https://www.etsy.com/shop/FirecrackerLacquer.  For more info be sure to check them out here:
