Zoya~Fleck Effect

Don't adjust the device you are viewing this on... it is me, Cindy and I am actually posting!  Life has consumed me lately and I apologize for my lack if posts and all around involvment in the nail polish and blogging world. I thought this post was perfect, since I feel like a total flake lately,  Zoya's amazing Flakies!!!  Fleck Effect from Zoya is 3 seriously flaky, and I mean that in a very good way, amazing polishes!  The Fleck Effects collection can be worn alone or over your favorite polish to give it a different look. 

Chloe is a pretty pink base with iridescent green and gold mylar flecks.

Opal is a sea foam green with iridescent green mylar flecks.

Maisie is a bright blue with iridescent green mylar fleckes.

Shortly after I swatched these pretties, I cut my finger pretty good.  So I will spare you the nastiness of my poor cut finger and show you how amazing the Fleck Effects are layered over other polishes.  Behold, the polish wheel.

How are you all enjoying Zoya's beautiful Fleck Effect?

Zoya~True Part 1

True is Zoya's Spring 2012 collection of 6 beautiful and classic shades.  I always love the 'early' Spring collections.  They are usually light and pretty and a major contrast from all the glitz and glamour of the Holiday collections we have be wearing.  True is just that-a delicate mix of polishes that range from creamy beige to gorgeous purple.  This collection has a color (or 6) for everyone.  Today I have the first 3 of this collection.  These and a bazillion other gorgeous polishes can be found here for $8 each.  Make sure you follow Zoya on Twitter and Facebook too.  They have these fairies who are very good to their followers and you never know what mischief they are up to :)

Cho is a creamy pale yellow and I mean pale.  The coverage and finish on all of these was amazing.  Not streaky or chalky at all.

Farah is a creamy light beige or latte color.

And then there is Bevin.  What an amazing color!  Bevin is a light sage green creme.  Gorgeous!!!

True is a beautiful collection of polishes that would make your fingers very pretty and happy.

*These polishes were sent to me for an honest review*

OPI~Muppets

Happy Friday the 13th!  I had all these huge plans for posting all of the great holiday/winter collections I have and December came and went too fast for me.  So, I know these are late, but they are definitely worth a second (or 50th) look and if you haven't picked any of these up yet, maybe I will inspire you :)

Also, don't forget to enter my Holo 2012 Giveaway!

OPI's holiday collection, The Muppets is an amazing collection of glitter, red, and neutral polishes.  The Muppets have a special place in my heart, not only because I grew up with them, but my youngest told me a couple of years ago, that he wanted to be Kermit when he grows up.

Rainbow Connection is a amazing display of multi-colored and multi-shaped glitter.

Divine Swine is a magenta glitter with silver hex scattered throughout.

Fresh Frog of Bel Air is a Kermit green glitter that also has a silver hex scattered throughout.

Gettin' Miss Piggy With It is a great red glitter and it too has the large silver hex.

Pepe's Purple Passion is a gorgeous plum base with glitter.

The next 4 are from the Muppettes, the mini 4 pack.

Designer...de Better is a light gold metallic with gold glitter.

Excuse Moi! is my favorite of this collection.  I actually went out a bought a few for full size bottles, just in case.  It is a pretty pink mauve glitter with larger pink, silver & light blue glitter.

Warm & Fozzie is a brown-copper metallic with gold & copper glitter.

Wocka! Wocka! is a pretty red with a pink iridescent wash.

Wet n' Wild~On The Prowl

Halloween is just around the corner and I am so excited!  I have 2 kids who know what they want to be and my little one can't decide.  So I am going to get busy coming up with a werewolf and a zombie bride(I can't wait to do her make-up) costumes and wait until my youngest makes up his mind.  I finally tracked down the Wet n' Wild~On the Prowl Halloween collection.  This collection took it's sweet time to show up in my neck of the woods.  When I did finally find it, I didn't find a full display.  But I did get 5 of the 8 and I am still searching for a couple more.  I found these polishes at CVS for $1.99 each.  You need these polishes, so find them, wear them, love them.  These are all 2 coats.

Correction Tape is a fun polish!  Its a clear base with gold, fuchsia, & bright blue, medium hex and square glitter and a smaller black hex.  This is a fun color that would also work for Mardi Gras too! 

Tangled in my Web is a clear base with small black hex glitter.  All by it's self, I don't really like it, but layered over other colors, it's really cool.

Behind Closed Doors is a sheer black base with medium red hex and tiny red glitter.  I LOVE this one!  I even like how trippy it looks.  I tried to float the glitter on, but when I did that, it made the base look weird.  I like it though.

Jungle Fever is a dusty apple green shimmer.  Not sure if the name, Jungle Fever, is Halloween-ish, but the color sure is.  It was a little sheer, but 3 coats would take care of that.

Buy Me a Drink is a beautiful smokey berry shimmer.  It has a slight light from with in glow that we haven't seen in a while.  Such a gorgeous shade!

I am going to layer the glitters over different colors to show you the versatility of them.  This is a really great collection and if you can find it, get it!  I still need Cougar Attack & Ready to Pounce :)

China Glaze~Haunting Collection

Well, it's getting to be that time of year again-Halloween!  I have the first Halloween themed collection that I have been able to find.  For some reason all the stores around me are taking their time getting all the Halloween goodies out and on the shelves.  China Glaze never really fails in the Halloween collections.  Year after year they release great colors and this year is no different.  I have heard a few mixed reviews on the is collection, but I think it's beautiful and eerie, just how Halloween should be!  The Haunting Collection is 6 polishes, Ghoulish Glow & Black Mesh (Crackle) are re-promotes. 

It's Alive is a dense dark lime green glitter.  This is 2 coats, but I really could have used just one.

Haunting is a black creme base with silver glitter.

Near Dark is a dark, almost black, murky moss green.  I really like this color.  I think it's just gorgeous.

Crimson is a beautiful vampy blackened berry creme.  You know I love this color!

China Glaze~Haunting Collection is in out.  I saw it yesterday at Sally's.  Grab it while you can!  Thanks for looking!

Hard To Find Friday

Happy Friday and welcome to my new idea to change things up a bit here on Nail'd & Polish'd.  Have you ever seen the the letters HTF?  Well, in the nail polish world they stand for Hard To Find.  I thought I would start a once-in-awhile Friday post called Hard To Find Friday and share all my nail polish treasures.  This won't be a weekly thing since I don't have that many.  But hopefully I can get some of my fellow bloggers to help me out.  I thought this might be a good resource in case you are ever out shopping and come across a HTF.  First up my small China Glaze OMG collection!

In 2008 China Glaze released one their most coveted collections called the OMG! collection.  12 stunning holos with cute little names like QT, L8R G8R, & OMG.  China Glaze can do holographic colors.  Don't let the Tronica collection fool you, take a look at these.

Gorgeous!  These are avaiable on Ebay, for refty price tags.  Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Essie~Resort 2011

Today I have 2 polishes from the 2011 Resort Colletion from Essie.  This is a collection of 4 colors that are okay.  They aren't anything great and that is why I only have 2 :)

 Da Bush is a muted sage green creem.

Fair Game is a blue grey shimmer, almost a frost. 

Zoya~Mod Mattes

Zoya recently came out with a really cool set of matte polishes.  Eventhough I think that 'matte' has ran its course, I really like these polishes  Phoebe, Lolly, & Mitzi are bright, fresh, and perfect for summer.  The application was okay, not great.  I am not a big fan of matte polishes and I have a hard time getting them to go on smooth.  I had good luck and bad luck with these.  Some nails are good, and some are lumpy.

Phoebe is my favorite of the three.  It is a gorgeous bright Caribbean blue with a slight shimmer to it.

Lolly is a beautiful bright hot pink.

Mitzi is a lime green that I love.  However this shade of green does not love me. 

What do you think?  Do you like the Zoya Mod Mattes?  If you do, you might want to check back tomorrow for a chance to win your own matte trio.
