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. 

This is indoors, with flash.

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 Mitzi (Day 4)

Mitzi is a matte yellow-green color from the Mod Mattes collection.  The color is almost a lime green and the formula is okay, not the best, I had patches, but the nail polish was too thick.  The color is so unique and different and looks great as a matte.  I had to use three coats for the pictures below.  Just a note, this color stains really bad, even with base coat.  Even with all that, I love the color, so I can deal with the other issues! 

This is indoors, no flash.  Sorry about the awful application on the index finger, ugh!

Indoors, no flash.

And then I applied a top coat, this is indoors without flash.

My Collection, Swatched: Julep Diane

Julep Diane is a dark, almost black, green color. It is a jelly finish; the only jelly finish I own.  The formula on this one was great, but it was a bit sheer so I applied three coats for the swatch.  Although application was a breeze, I am not a big fan of this color.   I love greens, but this one in particular is so dark that it looks like a black polish in person.  The images show a lot more green than in real life. 

This is indoors with flash.  Sorry about the bald spot on the middle finger, I did not see that IRL.

My Collection, Swatched: Julep Miranda

Julep Miranda is a medium, dusty blu/green color.  It is similar to Julep Emilie, but more blue-toned green and lighter in color.  This color is gorgeous when applied.  The image shows two coats of polish, and the formula was amazing.  I would say the color of the polish is a little more green than it appears in the images, but very pretty.  This is one of my favorite Julep polishes. 

This is indoors with flash. This is the most color accurate image.

My Collection, Swatched: Julep Emilie

Julep Emilie is a medium dusty green color, similar in shade but a little lighter in color than OPI's Jade is the New Black.  I love this color for Spring or summer, it is such a great green.  I always get compliments when wearing this color.  This color covers in two coats and I had no issues with application, overall great formula.

My Collection, Swatched: Butter London British Racing Green

Butter London British Racing Green is a deep emerald green with green microshimmer running throughout.  The swatches show three coats of the polish with base and top coat. 

This is BRG indoors with flash.  This image is true to color. 

This is BRG outdoors without flash. 

The formula on this polish is good, but a little thicker than other Butter London polishes I have tried.  The shimmer is barely visible on the nail in real life except when outdoors in sunlight.  The color is beautiful regardless, and has a glossy finish.
