NOTD - OPI Wing It!

This is another from the Summer Flutter collection that is hard to find, sorrrrrrry!

This is the polish, I just HAD to take pictures in a shop as the bright lights really captured the blue glitter suspended in this jelly polish!



This is my first use of a jelly polish, it took 4 coats to get opacity, but it was worth it!



Believe it or not these are taken with no top coat, jelly finish = incredible shine!



This picture shows of the duochrome, being pink into orange it isn't a wow duochrome but it is enough to make me stare at my wiggling fingers! Anyone else do that?



It is a beautiful polish, but felt squishy the whole time it was on my fingers and was an odd sensation when it rubbed against a hard surface!



This is a beautiful polish, far more understated than Catch Me In Your Net but worth the wait!

Available here but I have not used them so check reviews before buying

Weigh in..... week 9

Sorry for the woe is me face, 3lb on this week. 3 big fat pounds! I did eat out and we had a takeaway BUT I cut back the rest of the week so I am gutted!

I am due on and resisting the urge to melt 5lb of chocolate and suck it through a straw!

Onwards and downwards!

NOTD - Zoya Tao

Today's polish is from the Zoya collection, Smoke and Mirrors from Autumn 2011. I do love new nail polish but sometimes the new collections drive me mad as often they have many that I seriously end up lemming after, then boom - another new collection alert! Either that or like OPI they end up being removed from the range and end up seriously hard to get!

Anyhoo, this is from the Mirrors part of the collection and when this says taken in sunlight, that was kind of a lie since the sun was not really playing ball!



I had been after this polish for a while, but was really disappointed.



It was streaky and showed up brushstrokes, a big hate of mine. It wasn't a true metallic so really the brush strokes are pretty unforgivable!



Length wise, I think the fact I had to use 3 coats to even it out left it susceptible to chips and by the end of day one I had to patch up two nails.



It is a shame I don't like this, I love pewter polishes and this one would have been perfect had it been ever so slightly shinier and nicer to apply. This does have teeny tiny particles of pink and green micro glitter.



Overall I would not purchase the full size of this. But it doesn't put me off Zoya and I have never been disappointed before, this was just a dud for me.
Zoya is hard to find in the UK but ebay have some reputable sellers and it is available here but I have not used them so look up reviews first.
