Hello!

Today I have Zoya Louise to show you!

Zoya Louise. Indoors, artificial light, no flash.

Louise is a rich, milk chocolate-colored brown creme. Delicious!

Swatches today are a base coat of Seche Clear, two coats of Louise, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. Like Flynn and Hunter, Louise has a great formula. No issues.

I received this polish free with a qualifying purchase a few months ago. As I've said before, Zoya does great promos announced via their Facebook page.

Stash Swatch Initiative: Orly Golden Maharaja

Hello! Happy Fourth of July to all my U.S. readers!

Today I have another long-time Orly lemming of mine to show you! This is Golden Maharaja.

Golden Maharaja is from the 2008 Gems Collection. Fortunately, Head2Toe Beauty still stocks this one, so even if I was rather late to the party, I was able to get my hands on it!

Golden Maharaja is a rich, warm brown polish packed with brown, gold, and copper shimmer. The Gems Collection was released for fall, and this will be a lovely shade to wear in a few months. I love the shimmer, and the incredible shine.

Swatches today are a base coat of Seche Clear, two coats of Golden Maharaja, and one coat of NYC In a New York Minute. No problems with this polish or it's formula even after all this time.

Cheryl is a stunner! This gorgeous brown lights up with a warm coppery shimmer. It is fantastic!

Swatches are one coat of Sally Hansen Nail Protix, two coats of Cheryl, and a topcoat of Orly Sec n' Dry. As usual, the formula was splendid and gave me zero issues.

As I've said before: I bought my bottle from Zoya's website. They offer a lot of great deals, especially if you're plugged into their social networking, so like them on Facebook! They also offer deals to their existing customers (those who have an account set up at their website) on occasion. If you don't have an account and want one, you're welcome to use this link to make a new account. It's my "Share the Love" link, which if you do sign up by using it, I'll get points to use towards more deals on polish and, as a first time customer, you'll get a free bottle of polish when you order! Awesome! My link takes you to the seasonal collections page; you can create a new account by using the link at the top of that page that says "Create An Account". Once your account is set up, if you go to "My Account" then click "My Coupon Codes" you'll see the code for a free bottle of polish. I believe you have to order more items to use it, so it's not a total freebie.


I'm away on vacation, but my blog is not! I might not be able to respond to comments or emails right away, but posts will continue! So... More soon!!! ^_^
