Essie Bikini So Teeny

Essie Bikini So Teeny is a bright, yet pastel blue with the most subtle silver shimmer. The shimmer itself does not translate onto the nail, just like most Essie polishes.

I love shades like this! And Essie does them so well. Light enough that they are flattering, yet bright enough to make a slight statement. This blue is just perfect.

Two coats, with very easy application:

As you can see, the color varies SLIGHTLY in the bottom two pics. I have been messing with camera setting trying to get the most color accurate photos. The main place you can tell the difference is in my skin tone. Yikes! lol.

Zoya Kennedy

How would I describe Zoya Kennedy? Hmmmm....good question. A light pinkish tan? lol. I don't know, but that's about as close to a description as you are going to get from me.

I liked that this was a nude, but didn't give me mannequin hands! Application was a breeze and I had no issues with dragging or streaking.

Two coats:

What do you think of nudes? Do you like when they perfectly match your skin tone or when they are a bit off?

Julep Mandy

Look away if you don't want to see lobster hands!! LOL!

Julep Mandy is a bright neon pinkish red. I would almost call this a jelly because it is saturated, yet sheer, but it does not dry to a squishy jelly finish. I love the color of this, but I will certainly be saving it for summer time when I have a little more color to my skin, as this is not so flattering on pale skin with red undertones :)

Two coats, no top coat:

OPI Ski Teal We Drop + Zoya Frida

I was going to split this into two posts, but it seemed kinda pointless considering Frida didn't make Ski Teal We Drop look too much different.

Here is OPI Ski Teal We Drop on it's own. It's a darkened blue leaning teal shade. This is not one of those shades that look black in low lighting. It is so rich and keeps it's color nicely no matter what the lighting.

Two coats, no top coat:

Then, since Zoya Frida is a teal jelly, I wanted to add it over Ski Teal We Drop for some added shine, and it did not disappoint! The base color did not change at all, but Frida added an insane amount of glossiness to the manicure.

2 coats Ski Teal We Drop, 1 coat Zoya Frida, no top coat.

Do you like layering similar colors of polish or layering polishes that are different to see what the outcome is?

Essie Jamaica Me Crazy

Essie's Jamaica Me Crazy is a magenta polish with lots of purple and pink micro glitter through out it. This polish is so pretty and goes on great! I did find that, like most Essies, the formula is thin, so you will need three thin coats for opacity. Also, like with most Essies, the shimmer shows up MUCH more predominately in the bottle than it does on the nail. I am used to this as far as this brand goes, but if you aren't as familiar with their polish, you may be a bit disappointed. The shimmer does give the polish a slight metallic-ish look without the unfortunate look of brush strokes.

Three coats and one coat Poshe:

How do you feel when the polish looks different on the nail than it does in the bottle? Sometimes it's a bit disappointing, so I'm glad I was anticipating this being much less sparkly than it looked.

Color Club Worth The Risque

Color Club Worth The Risque is a silver holographic polish. Although, the holo in this polish is relatively weak compared to others.

I think it definitely showed up more in person than in these pics. For some reason, I was just having an off day and none of my manis or pictures were coming out like I wanted at all. :-/

Two coats:

I wish my pictures would have came out better because this really is a very pretty polish.

Zoya Bevin

In my opinion, Bevin was one of the more popular single polishes that Zoya released last year. A slightly dusty, darker mint green. This is absolutely one of my favorite polishes by Zoya, hands down.

Two coats, no top coat:

What do you think of Bevin? A unique shade or something you have seen before?
