Zoya Island Fun Collection

*Press Sample

"Ready for an island vacation, these playful creams embody a tropical getaway! They are strong in color to balance the brilliance of summer sun, with a flawless cream formula."

Today I'll be sharing with you the 6 cream shades from the Zoya Island Fun Collection. All photos are shown with two coats of color and topcoat.

Jace (ZP796) - Modern tropical green in a full coverage and densely pigmented cream formula. A green that is more muted than lime and surprisingly wearable. 

Cecelia (ZP797) - Classic teal in a full coverage and densely pigmented cream formula.

Talia (ZP798) - True turquoise in full coverage and densely pigmented cream formula.

Serenity (ZP799) - Summer purple in a full coverage and densely pigmented cream formula. Reminiscent of beautiful blooming irises, a harbinger of summer. 

Nana (ZP800) - Deep summer fuchsia in a full coverage and densely pigmented  cream formula.

Demetria (ZP801) - A vibrant poppy red in a full coverage and densely pigmented cream formula.

I like how Zoya chose to select bright island colors but didn't go for straight out traditional neon shades. My favorite of the collection is surprisingly Demetria; I usually love the pinks or blues, but this red is definitely my favorite.

Most of the colors had a nice formula and application, however I did run into issues with Cecelia and Talia; they were on the thicker side and Cecelia stained a little bit, but Talia stained a lot (I'm talking I had staining just from swatching it). I know that some girls didn't have this issue so maybe it was just the batch that I was sent of those two shades.

These colors are currently available for purchase at Zoya.com for $9.00.

Which of these shades is your favorite? Will you be picking any of these up for your own collection?

Incoco Tropical Escape Collection - Summer 2015

*Press Sample

Bright Colors and Tropical Prints for Bold Summer Nail Art

"Celebrate the return of long days and hot nights with the Incoco Tropical Escape Collection. Whether you're sipping cocktails poolside or jetting off to exotic beachside locales, treat your tips to flawless manicures that pair perfectly with your breezy summer dresses and warm weather favorites."

The Tropical Escape Collection contains 8 fun shades, 4 patterns and 4 bold colors. Today I will be sharing with you 2 of each.  It has been nice weather and since this is a tropical themed collection I decided to take these photos outside; 90 and humid is pretty tropical, wouldn't you say? :-P

Strawberry Daiquiri - A bold, punchy summer pink

Tropical Getaway - A lush design of island leaves

Summer Dream - A cool azure blue

Summer Night - A playful & bright tropical design

I loved the application of these appliqués, as with most of the recent Incoco collections, the "formula" on these was great; the perfect amount of flexibility to give a nice smooth application over the nail. I am not usually a big fan of the solid color appliqués, but I really liked the colors in these ones. (Note: the colors in the solid shades were a bit richer in real life). I would absolutely recommend these for any summer occasion.

Here is some information on the other 4 shades in the collection:

Citrus Punch - Citrus fruit and island scenery
Tequila Sunrise - A sizzling summer coral
Island Adventure - A wild mix of tropical greenery and animal print
Island Song - A bright summer purple

Incoco Modern Marble Collection - Late Summer 2015 Collection

*Press Sample

"Effortlessly Cool Marble & Stone Nail Art - Add an unexpected edge to your summer ensembles with cool looks from Incoco's Modern Marble Collection." 

Today I will be sharing with you two of the four shades from the Modern Marble Collection; let's jump right in.

Set In Stone - A chic design of white and blackberry marble

Masterpiece - A shimmery marble pattern of blues and pinks

I love the marble patterns that this collection contains. It isn't exactly water marbling, but a traditional stone marble pattern in some fun and pretty color combinations.

The application of these real nail polish appliqués was great! They were flexible enough to lay completely flat on the nail but not too thin that they would rip during application like I have seen with some other brands; A+.

There are two other shades in this collection which I don't have samples of, but check out their descriptions below:

Blue Quartz - A swirling blue marble pattern
Jade Onyx - A spattered blue-green stone pattern

These appliques will be available at Incoco.com on June 29th (but of course I couldn't wait to share them!), so be sure to mark your calendars.

Available in eight high-impact glitter shades, this clever and innovative ombre-in-a-bottle makes it easy for women to achieve the look in just three simple steps.

SALLY HANSEN INTRODUCES BIG PEELOFF BASE COAT^TM

  

Everyone wants a manicure that looks perfect, resists smudges, and removes easily. Traditionally, it hasn't always been easy to achieve those desired results. Now, however, Sally Hansen introduces a nail essentials to simplify and improve the at-home manicure regimen: Big Peel Off Base Coat^TM . 

For nail-art aficionados, glitter girls, and anyone else who lives for regular manicures, Big Peel Off Base Coat changes everything. Nail polish remover can be harsh on nails, leaving them dry and brittle—and therefore, prone to breakage. Hard-to-remove special effects such as glitters, textures, and shimmers can damage nails further by scraping the nail surface and can be a time consuming removal process. 

That all changes with the introduction of Big Peel Off Base Coat^TM. This fast, convenient easy base coat makes it easy to remove glitters and other special effect polishes in a single step. Just paint on the base coat, which quickly dries to a transparent finish. Apply nail polish as usual and enjoy the manicure. When it's time for a change, simply peel off the polish in one fluid movement. No scrubbing, soaking, or fussing—just a clean, healthy-looking nail. 

PRICE & AVAILABILITY: Sally Hansen’s new Big Peel Off Base Coat^TM , SRP $5.99 each, will be available in June 2015 at chain drugstores and mass retailers nationwide.
