My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Adina (Day 11)

Adina is a light purple color with a green flash, basically a duochrome that goes from purple to green.  This is from the same collection as Happi, and it is gorgeous on the nail.  Anytime I wear this color, I end up staring at it throughout the day.

Again, indoors with flash.  You can see more of the green in this image.

Indoors, with flash.

Outdoors, shade.  This is what it looks like regularly, almost a metallic/glossy look to it.

Outdoors, direct sunlight.

My Collection, Swatched: Zoya Faye (Day 10)

Are you all still with me?  I hope you are enjoying the Zoyas, I am having fun swatching them! 

Faye is a gorgeous fleck glitter.  It is a light purple base with gold fleck, and it looks great on the nails as it shows up as a glitter duochrome: Gorgeous!  The formula was great, but I used 3 coats for the swatch to get it fully opaque.

My Collection, Swatched: Nina Ultra Pro Molten Gold

Molten Gold is a gorgeous duochrome that flashes gold and rose-gold/pink.  It is a beautiful color and is opaque in 2 coats, but I usually add a third coat in case there are any patches due to application.  The color is so beautiful, it looks like the most perfect sunset in a bottle.  The duochrome is visible on the nail and looks like it is on fire: Love!
