Cult Nails All Access Collection

I have another amazing collection from Cult Nails to show you today. Cult Nails All Access Collection was inspired by grunge music of the 90s which is when I was in high school. In addition to coming from inspiration I relate to, the polishes are amazing. This collection consists of two cremes, a crelly (or is it a jelly), and two glitter toppers. 

Cult Nails Disillusion 


Disillusion has a black jelly base and hot pink shards. The shards can get a little lost in the base if you layer it on it's own. I put on a coat of Cult Nails Nevermore (black creme) and then one coat of Disillusion. This way, the shards pop more. It also looks good layered on it's own (it shows more depth) I just like it better on top of black. 

Cult Nails Grunge
Cult Nails Grunge is a military green creme polish. Sometimes it looks more grey than green depending on the lighting. The formula was smooth and creamy, I used two coats. I love this color and think it would be flattering on many different skin tones. 

Cult Nails Lamestain
 Cult Nails Lamestain is a very deep vampy red creme. It almost looks brown but when the light hits it, you can tell that it is indeed red. It also looks red along the edges of the nail. The finish reminds me a little of Cult Nails Quench. It looks squishy like it's a jelly but it isn't sheer. I only needed two thin coats for opacity so I'd consider it a crelly (creme/jelly).  I love shades like this for the Fall. 

Cult Nails Wack Slacks
Cult Nails Wack Slacks is a gorgeous blue creme that has just a touch a purple. This was almost a one coater but I applied two out of habit. The formula was nice and smooth. This ties for my favorite with Feedback.

Feedback over Wack Slacks

Cult Nails Feedback has a clear base with gold, pink, and orange mylar flakes. I am obsessed with this polish. It applies like a dream. You get a ton of flakes on the brush. I only used one coat for all of the pictures. I love it when I don't have to get rid of the extra base when applying glitters, flakies, etc. It looks amazing over any color. Love it! This and Wack Slacks are my must haves...if you can only pick two that is. I love them all. 

This is another amazing collection by Cult Nails! What do you think? I'd love to know which polishes are your favorite.

Zoya Cashmeres Collection Fall 2013

I'm back with the second half of Zoya's Fall 2013 collection, Zoya Cashmeres. If you'd like to see my swatches and review of the Satins Collection, you can find that, here. This collection consists of six rich cremes that are perfect for the Fall season. Zoya is my favorite main stream nail polish brand for many reasons. One of those reasons is that I don't have to worry if their polish is going to have a great formula or not. Now, I'm not saying that I've never been disappointed by Zoya, it's just rare for me. Their cremes are especially fabulous when it comes to formula. They are easy to apply, self level, and dry fast. Many of their cremes are even one coaters. In the case of this collection, all of the formulas were great. Many can be one coaters for those with shorter nails but for me, I used two coats of polish in each picture. In the second pictures, I added one coat of Zoya Maria-Luisa to my accent nail. Maria-Luisa is from the Satins collection but I thought it would be fun to use it with the Cashmeres as well.


Zoya Livingston
Livingston is a bright red creme.

Zoya Maria Luisa
Here I am holding my bottle of Zoya Maria-Luisa. I added one coat to my accent nail. I reviewed Maria-Luisa, here


Zoya Pepper
Pepper is a brick red creme.

Zoya Hunter
Aptly named, Zoya Hunter is a hunter green creme.

Zoya Sailor
Sailor is also appropriately named as it is a navy blue creme. Sailor was almost a one coater for me but I had a tiny bit of patching by my cuticles. It was perfect with two coats.

Zoya Flynn
Flynn was difficult to photograph for me and hard to describe. Zoya describes Flynn as "a lush camel brown creme." Personally, it reminds me of a Cafe Latte. Although Flynn doesn't work for my skin tone, I'm keeping it for nail art.

Zoya Louise
Louise isn't the best polish for me to keep around. Every time I see it, I want to eat a brownie or chocolate pudding. Louise is a rich chocolate brown creme.

The Zoya Satins Collection can be purchased online from www.zoya.com for $8.00 each.

What's the verdict? Will you be picking anything up from Zoya's Cashmeres and Satins Collection? Do you love one collection more than the other? My favorite is the Satins Collection.

Zoya Satins Collection Fall 2013

This week I have the Zoya Fall 2013 collections to show you. Today, we're going to take a look at the Satins part of the Zoya Cashmeres and Satins Collection. Zoya Satins consists of five metallic shades with one gold flakie topper. 

Each picture shows two coats with one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast top coat. The second picture of each polish shows one coat of Zoya Maria-Luisa on my accent nail with the exception of Zoya Mason. 

Zoya Channing
We're going to start with my favorite, Zoya Channing. It's a deep reddish orange metallic that is the perfect shade for the Fall season. 

 Zoya Maria Luisa
Here I am holding Zoya Maria-Luisa which is a gold flakie in a clear base. I am wearing one coat on top of Zoya Channing on my accent nail. You can make Maria-Luisa opaque with several coats or wear it on top of other colors. 

Zoya Mason
Zoya Mason is a bright fuchsia metallic polish.

Zoya Maria Luisa
On my accent nail is two coats of Zoya Maria-Luisa on top of Zoya Mason. As you can see, it's almost opaque. With one more coat, Maria-Luisa would have full coverage. For the rest of the swatches, I am wearing just one coat of Maria-Luisa on my accent nail.

Zoya Claudine
Zoya Claudine is a dark grey metallic polish.

Zoya Giovanna 
 
Zoya Giovanna is an emerald green metallic polish.
