Is this thing on?<br />

I haven't been on in forever, but I love this mani, so I'm sharing!!<br />

Zoya Storm is a holographic black which goes on smokey on the first coat, and solid by the second.<br />
<br />
Zoya Chloe is a flakey holo that has interference that switches from green to orange. I love it! <span id="goog_496499048"></span><br />

Each box would hold 70 bottles. They worked well, until I saw a post about Helmer. I don't live near an Ikea, and even though I could have ordered them online, I didn't feel like paying shipping. (Ok, and I didn't want to wait...let's be honest).<br />
<br />
It seems that each 6 drawer Helmer would hold 504 bottles of Zoya, so for the same price I paid, I could have had two, and stored 1008. Well, my collection isn't that big yet, and will take a while to get there. (I tend to only buy Zoya).<br />
<br />
I went to Michael's yesterday and bought<a href="http://www.michaels.com/3-Drawer-Organizer-Cube/sb3460,default,pd.html?cgid=products-scrapbooking-recollections-storage" target="_blank"> two of these.</a> They were on sale for 30% off. Before sale I think they were $39.99. They are made by JetMax.<br />
<br />
Putting them together was easy. You can just look at the pictures, no reading necessary. The material is of very good quality, it feels sturdy. (Just don't get over zealous with the screws, you could strip them.) All the holes align, all sides are finished. I used a Philips screw driver with two interchangeable sized heads. It took me an hour to assemble one. The second might go quicker.<br />
<br />
Each drawer holds 110 bottles!! 330 for the whole thing! 660 for two! :,)<br />

There is a gap to the side of the polishes, but it's not enough to fit another bottle without making a row bow out. You could put one on the side, offset from the rows, but with 110, it's heavy enough. Support the drawer with your hands when pulling it out very far.

This is one of five shades grouped under their Metal Mania collection. From the website:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Turn your fingertips into fashion statements with a wardrobe of
sensational shades to add definition, polish, and style to your
fingertips.<br /><br />Designed by Tom Pecheux, world-renowned makeup artist and Estée Lauder Creative Makeup Director.<br /><br />Tom combined today's top trends with timeless classics-all the colors he prefers for photo shoots and fashion shows.<br /><br />Formulated with True Vision™ technology to transform ordinary color and make it extraordinary. </div>
<ul class="standard_list" style="text-align: left;">
<li>Rich, glossy with an intense, mirror-like high shine.</li>
<li>Fast-drying. Long-wearing. </li>
<li>High-pigment, high- impact brilliance in 3 effects: creme, pearl and shimmer.</li>
<li>True Vision™ technology takes ordinary color and makes it extraordinary.</li>
<li>Choose from a multi-faceted spectrum of modern and timeless shades. </li>
<li>Resists chipping-even in water.</li>
<li>High coverage that won't fade, dull or streak, even in strong sunlight.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>The brush makes it easy. </b><br />Specially designed brush shape makes application incredibly easy.<br /><br />In 3 strokes-middle, left and right-you're done.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
This formula went on smoothly. I used
Zoya Anchor base coat and Out the Door top coat. I took the pictures
about three days after I had painted them. As you can see, the polish
was still going strong. The brush is also handy as it is wide. I
bought this at Von Maur, but you can buy it at any department store
selling Estee Lauder, or online. 0.3 oz, $20. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This color is gorgeous. It's multidimensional. I took a lot of pictures to show all the glittery shimmer. Click on the pictures to enlarge!!</div>

Today I bring to you a new Venique swatch! It's called 5 Inches of Seduction and is lovely!<br />
<br />
The brand is <a href="http://veniquenail.com/" target="_blank">Venique</a> and is fairly new. It can be found in salons, as it is a professional line. From the company:<br />
Venique nail lacquer brings long-lasting color to salons. Every Venique
nail polish formula, as well as the top coat, contains Sil-Tek, a
silicone-based ingredient that creates flexibility within the polish to
guard against chipping and flaking. Nails expand when they get wet and
contract again when they dry. Sil-Tek's flexibility enables the polish
to accommodate those normal variations. Diamond dust inside the topcoat
makes it extra shiny! Takes a full 10 minutes to dry. Nails looking
dull? You only have to buff a little and the shine will come back.<br />
<br />
****************************************************<br />
<br />
Now, I used Zoya Anchor base coat, and Out the Door fast drying topcoat. These pictures were after <u>four days</u> of wear. I did have minimal chipping. My middle finger on my right hand had the biggest chip. Even then it was small. And honestly, I think it was because a piece of my own nail chipped off as they are dry right now. (I must be better about using Solar oil!!!) Formula was smooth and easy to apply.<br />
<br />
On with the pictures!! <br />
<br />
<br />
This color is a hot fushia pink, with a shimmer of blue running through. It is so pretty in person. It reminds me of sunlight shining through and illuminating pinkish-red rose petals. So pretty! My pinky nails have transfer foil on them. You can get it at craft stores. I used some adhesive glue that was given to me by a fellow nail tech. It came with an order she placed on a site selling nail art supplies. :,)<br />
<br />
I highly recommend clicking on the pictures to get a better view! Especially the brush shots! <br />

OMG. It's divine. It's like crushed pearl on your nails. :,) It's part of <a href="http://www.orlybeauty.com/permanent-collection.php" target="_blank">Orly's permanent collection</a>, found under the Sparkling Glitters section. They are .6 fl oz, which is .10 fl oz more than the standard amount. The cap is rubberized and is very easy to grip. They retail for $8.50 and can be purchased right from Orly's website. You can also buy them from Sally Beauty Supply. I have had this one for a while now, and believe I bought it from CVS. On with the pics! Click for full effect!<br />

This outrageous shade is sure to stop traffic.<br />
<br />
Please, for the safety of your retinas, don your sunglasses. <br />
<br />
They aren't kidding when they say ultra bright. This is an extremely bright color, and not for the least faint of heart. This would look great at Halloween too! I normally don't do bright colors, but I'm missing Fall. Halloween is Fall, and I wear a lot of black. haha<br />
<br />
Formula on this is good. Applied quickly with no issues, and dried fast. You can see a visible difference in it as it dries. It dries slightly darker, but re-brightens when top coat is applied. <br />
<br />
Two coats of color with top coat, in swatches. <br />

<a href="https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/012FED55" target="_blank"> Zoya's website </a>describes this polish as: Warm creamy orange-peach nude sheer with a creme finish. Excellent for
warm skin tones, creates a perfect French manicure or nude look.<br />
<br />
I liked this after one coat. When I applied two coats, it looked too salmon like for my skin tone. It's a sheer color, and can look streaky if applied wonky. Just make sure you have enough on the brush. <br />
<br />
This is definitely a warm-toned polish. I think this color would look amazing on darker, warm toned skin. I am very light and it just doesn't look right on me with two coats. On with the pictures!<br />

I chose<a href="https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/012E28B1" target="_blank"> Zoya Rekha</a> from the<a href="http://www.artofbeauty.com/content/38/category/Bibhu_Mohapatra_FallWinter_2012_NYFW.html" target="_blank"> Bibhu Mohapatra collection</a> (Rekha is coming out in the Fall collection, YAY!), and<a href="https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/012E28E6" target="_blank"> Zoya Milla</a>, originally from the Glitterati collection.<br />
<br />
Rekha is a gorgeous red cream that is as beautiful as could be. I want this in a lipstick. Milla is a very pretty, sparkly, slightly sheer orangy-red. Because it's slightly sheer, it is perfect to go over other colors to lend and borrow color to the undercoat. I did two coats of Rekha, and one coat of Milla. I allowed plenty of time to dry in between coats because I was layering. I was going to bed after this, so I wanted to make sure I didn't wake up with sheet marks.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />These
colors are fabulous and sparkly! The formula on these are very unique.
Full coverage, fast drying, and sort of mousse like. If you apply it
thickly, you will have bubbles. Apply thinly, allow to dry, and apply a
second thin coat. Try not to over-stroke the polish on. This can, and
usually does (in my experience) cause bubbles.<br />
<br />
Watch in HD! Enjoy!<br />

<br />
This turquoise is definitely different than other colors I have. It reminds me of the color of my vintage Boston pencil sharpener I have. <br />

frosted pearl finish. Great for a fresh-looking twist on vintage
avocado green.<br />
<br />
This is a surprising color, I think. It is a soft spring green. The shimmer is a very faint, and gives it life. I think without the shimmer it might be kind of dull. It has a retro feel for sure.<br />

Usually light pinks don't excite me, but I like this one. It's not overly bright, not boring either. Cool toned and chic. :,) Click for larger view!<br />

I did this last night. I will be editing soon, and chucking up lovely pics soon of the Zoya Beach and Surf collection! <br />
<br />
I already started going through the pics this morning and editing. It's a process, so bear with me. On each color, I swatched the ring finger with the Sparkle gloss top coat! It really shows off on the creams. The metallics are already so shimmery that it blends.<br />
<br />
Please stay tuned!<br />
<br />
p.s. I did do vids of the creams, but wasn't pleased with the way they turned out. I didn't do it like I should have and the vids were more shaky than I liked. I was waiting to get a new camera, and now have one! I was using a Sony....and the macro just...FAIL. I now have a Canon and LOVE it! :,)Polished Passionhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13651767952334245823noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7880157192985169520.post-70974988940410342292012-04-22T18:24:00.000-05:002012-07-15T09:45:48.104-05:00Qtica Intense Total Hydrating Therapy<div class="separator" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">

<br />
Qtica is made by Art of Beauty, the same company of Zoya. :,)<br />
<br />
This is an awesome cream. I can't tell you how many times I've reached for this cream when my hands are dry. In the winter my hands start to get chapped from the cold and working where I am constantly washing them. When I apply this, it instantly adds moisture back into my poor skin, takes away the pain, and makes my skin feel healthy again.<br />
<br />
The texture of your moisturized skin after it dries is soft, smooth, pliable, and powdery. Smooth, but not slick. Very non-greasy. The smell is unique. Not overwhelming. Smells slightly medicinal/herbal. Very light. <br />

<a href="https://www.artofbeauty.com/rd/012E299B" target="_blank">From zoya.com:</a> deep, cool fuchsia pink with subtle blue undertone and an opaque cream finish. Reagan packs a lot of color without being excessively bright and is soft but not overly muted. <br />
<br />
<br />On my ring finger I applied Zoya Sparkle Gloss top coat. It is a clear base with little tiny shimmeries in it. So pretty! <br />

Pics fail.I took pics of polish swatches of the lovely new Zoya colors. Either the pinks looked red, the pinks looked lavender, or the purples showed non-existant blue flecks. Really not happy with the pics at all. I feel I should stick to the HD vids. They show everything as is. I'm sorry. :,( I'm going to have to take vids soon. Right now I'm exhausted. And my teeth ache. (went to the dentist for the first time in 10 years today. When they mention gum probing...yeah. It's not fun.)<br />

I often hunt for the perfect lip balm I can grab and quickly apply. Enter Blistex Deep Renewel with CoQ10 and spf 15. I love this stuff! It glides on like butter, goes on completely clear, natural shine, and smells ever-so-slightly of spearmint. I took my Lakme kajal, drew a circle on my dry hand, and applied the Blistex in the circle. You can see the difference below.
