Zoya Payton Swatches and Review

Hey everybody!
Today I'm sharing Zoya Payton, an amazing polish that's part of Zoya's winter Zenith collection.  I managed to pick up this and another polish while they were having a sale.  I'm so happy I did!

Payton is a deep red-ish purple color with tons of holographic flecks.  The site describes it as "A full- coverage, galactic cranberry with holographic glitter."  I really need to try some galaxy nail art with this, I think it would look so stunning!  



The coverage on this was amazing, this is two thin coats.  I bet you could probably even get away with one if you made it a little thicker.  The dry time was average, not the fastest, but not excruciatingly long either.


Just look at all of that holo!!

Well, that's all for today folks!  I hope you all have a wonderful week, and a very happy New Year's Eve!!

Exciting News!

Hey Everyone!  Long time no see!
So, I know it's been a long time since my last post, and I'm really sorry.  But I do have some exciting news to share with you all!  I'm starting my own indie brand of polish!  I've been considering doing this for a long time and I finally took the leap and did it.   My brand is called Royal Polish (can you guess where i got the name?)  My pre-order  is going to be around the 27th, nothing is for sure though.  I post all updates and  swatches on Royal Polish's Instagram account.  If you could all follow me there, that would be great, it would mean a lot to me :)
Okay, enough babbling!  Here are swatches of all 5 colors in my upcoming collection, Happily Ever After:

Ball Gown is a silvery blue shimmer with micro-fine pink and silver glitter.  Shown is 3 coats plus top coat:

 Crown Jewels is a clear glitter topper packed full of gold and silver holo dots, light purple holo hexes, gold micro glitter, and a hint of red and navy micro glitter.  This is only 1 coat with top coat.  Sooo sparkly!

Once Upon A Time is a red shimmer with red and gold micro glitter.  2 coats:


Prince Charming is another clear glitter topper with navy micro glitter and gold and white random cut glitter.  1 coat over dark brown:



Shining Armor is a black jelly full of blue gray hexes and smaller silver hexes. This is 2 coats:


Okay that's all!  I hoped you liked these,  I'm pretty proud of them. 
Have an amazing Sunday!

Wanderlust Lacquer Ice Queen and Witches Brew

Hey everybody!  Blogger's finally working, yay!!!
Today I've got some great polishes to share with you from Wanderlust Lacquer. 

Ice Queen is a gorgeous ocean blue jelly packed full of holo glitter.  And when I say packed, I mean packed.  There was no fishing whatsoever!  This is just so amazingly pretty.  Love!

 The formula was great too, I only needed two coats for full opacity.  The dry time was fast.

Witches Brew is a purple jelly with holo circle and hex glitters.  This one is also full of glitter, absolutely no fishing.  I'm really liking this one too, why is it so stunning?!


Wonderful formula, this is two coats with top coat.  It took a little longer to dry than Ice Queen, so I added quick dry drops.

I'm super happy with these two polishes, they're beautiful!  Both are available on Wanderlust Lacquer's website, go check them out!  She's having a Cyber Monday sale, I don't know what the code is yet, but all updates/sales are posted on her Instagram :)
Thanks for stopping by!
