China Glaze Swanky Silk

Shade

Hey guys!  Tonight I have the second polish from the China Glaze Bohemian collection that I promised you.  This is Swanky Silk.  It's a multi chrome that shifts a bit from a rose gold, pink and greenish tint.  Now this color doesn't look fantastic on my pale, ginger skin but it had a great formula and was opaque in two coats.  The angles on some of these pictures are weird again as I was trying to show you the color shift.

Honestly the color shift is hard to see on the nail indoors.  The first picture is the only time I saw that much color change.  Couldn't get it again.  So what do you think?  Are you going to be picking up any of this collection?  Until next time, have great night.

China Glaze Rare & Radiant

Sun

Today I have one of the new China Glaze Bohemian polishes for you.  This is Rare & Radiant, a duochrome with a slight color shift.  Since the finish is metallic there are slight brush strokes but I only really noticed them in direct sunlight.  Two coats made this polish perfectly opaque.  I have a bunch of photos for you and some are at weird angles to try and capture the color shift for you.

So what do you think?  Did anyone besides me notice how this polish matches my background?  No?  Just me?  I have one other to show you in a few days.  Have a great day!

Zoya Kimber & KKcenterHK Printing Mode

Sun

Hey Everyone!  How's it going?  Sorry for the lack of posts lately.  Hopefully now that school has started my posting will pick up some.  So today I have a review of the nail printing mode from kkcenterhk.com.  I know it's a weird name but really it's a stencil for your nails.  Here's the link for the ones I used for this manicure.  Basically you paint your nails and make sure they're dry.  I used a quick dry topcoat and just waited a bit.  Then peel the stencil off the paper backing, stick it a few times to your hand to remove some of the sticky and place it on the nail where you would like it.  They come with different sizes to accommodate different nail sizes.

For this I used three coats of Zoya Kimber, a bright hot pink foil from the Surf Collection.  I still had VNL after two coats.  After that was dry I placed the stencil.  Using Zoya Zuza I painted over it.  Then quickly pull up the decal.  You can see that some of the flower petals are misshapen.  That is completely my fault.  I realized to late that it wasn't stuck down completely.  I did a second flower using  Zoya Trixie that came out much better.  The nail printing modes are one time use but because I'm just using them for accent nails they will last a while.  I will definitely be picking up some more of these soon.  If you order from kkcenterhk use the code mylifeinpolish to save 10% through Jan 31, 2013.  I don't get referral credit or anything I just want you all to save some money.

Have a great day!

Zoya FeiFei

Sun

Happy Saturday!  I've got a quick post for you today featuring Zoya FeiFei.  Zoya describes FeiFei as a steel blue base with gold, blue and pink iridescent metallic sparkles.  There's been a lot of talk about this being similar to Zoya Crystal which I had and swapped away.  I am happy to report that they are very different.  I went shopping the other morning with Janelle from Heartfully, Janelle and she brought her Crystal so we could compare them.  This is two coats of FeiFei and topcoat.  The formula was really great and very easy to control.

FeiFei is from the newly released Diva collection for fall.  I hope to get a few more from this collection soon.  Do you have a favorite from the new Zoya collections?  Have a great day!
