I've been trying to ID this one for months. I got it in a random nail salon, and it was labeless from the beginning.
It's a bit more gray in real life - very gray base loaded with shimmer.
I sure have checked swatches on Zoya's site, but so far - no luck. If you happen to know the name, please share it with me!
As many of you know, I'm from Russia originally, so this article made me laugh. This is so "From Russia with love", right?
My Momma taught me that "Bling is vulgar". Nope, Mom; I don't agree with you anymore. Believe it or not, but bling can be pretty neutral.
Here we go, Finger Paints Easel Come, Easel Go:
I have no doubts about this one, unlike Emerald Sparkle. I think this is a great silver; warm enough not to clash with my yellowish undertones. It has a foil-ey finish, and you can actually see silver particles/flecks in it. Very pretty!
Don't you think it makes a great canvas for Konad? But of course!
Rather subtle one; also this pic shows off a colder side of the polish. By the way, Easel is a great choice for Konad designs as well. It works as good as a special Konad silver, if not better.
I absolutely love silver on me and will be getting another one - Zoya Trixie - soon.
PS: Thank you so much for your nice comments on my green experiment!
I mentioned RBL's chocolate concoction in my previous post and - voila - I've got great news from them. To celebrate the election of Barack Obama, Ji Baek gives us a free ground shipping for all orders over $50 (continental only). As a cute promo email states, "From now until the inauguration, I declare FREE Ground Shipping
for any and all orders of $50 or more."
Way to support your President-elect by stimulating our economy, Ji.
Shop away, girls! Rescue Beauty polishes are available from RBL site.
Spectacular Killa Red, no political strings attached.
A while ago I introduced you to a healthy, yet quite expensive alternative to your favorite indulgence.
Here is another one, almost as good as Rescue Beauty Lounge version, but literally for the fraction of the price.
Misa Passion For Fashion:
Deep, reach, warm, unmistakeably chocolate-y color.
I'm afraid, this one is big3-free, for formula is a bit drippy. Anyway, I got a perfect coverage in two coats.
Enjoy your alternative for chocolate truffles!
All normal people experiment in college. All but me. I was a perfect teenager: straight As, no acid-colored hair and acid addictions. Same in college: I had no time to experiment, since I was way too busy with my grades, a job and a bunch of destructive, yet somehow "normal" relationships. According to Husband the Dearest, I'm having a teenager - rebellious, in-your-face teenager - phase right now, in my thirties (yuck!). Well, I've decided to live up to my reputation for once, and performed a series of experiments with colors. I did "totally-not-me" manicures, in colors that would normally scare me off.
Part One, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle.
Wow. Wow, wow, wowza. I don't care for green - at all. I don't have any single green item in my wardrobe. Yet, this polish somehow managed to mesmerize me. It's an absolute driving hazard: I just cannot stop staring at my nails.
Sparkly, green goodness, showing a bit of a teal side in some lighting.
As much as I love the polish, I'm still not sure if it works with my coloring. At some moments I think - "It's a pure perfection!"; at some - "Boy, I look like a pasty-sparkly frog, who desperately needs to see a vet".
What do you think, gyus? Frog, or perfection, or a perfect frog?
This is my clumsy, yet very enthusiastic "Go vote!" mani.
Breakdown:
Misa Heavenly White base with Finger Paints Easel Come, Easel Go french tips (two coats of tips):
Not that I'm biased, but this is the perfect white: completely opaque and streak-free in two coats.
Adding OPI Malaga Wine and Orly Witch's Blue (not very appropriate for the occasion, but...):
Ready... stamp - vote!
