My #9 Favorite Spring Polish for 2016...

Wednesday!!

This polish is from ZOYA's Summer Beach collection that was released in 2012. If you haven't tried this brand, you definitely should. They are a little on the pricier side, and retail for $10 on their website (with a wide variety of colors), $9 at Ulta (with a limited selection of colors). ZOYA has great promotions though, so watch for those! 

This particular polish- Wednesday is a gorgeous aqua cream with fantastic formula. I have yet to find a ZOYA polish that doesn't! It is opaque in one generous coat or two thinner coats. I just love it! Not much else to say about it.

This swatch in two thicker coats. :)

Here are some comparisons or Wednesday. The ever so popular Turquoise and Caicos definitely leans more green. China Glaze's For Audrey is the same color tone, but is lighter. They are very close though. ;)

I paired China Glaze's Whip It Good to add a little more spunk. This polish is new from their Lite Brites collection released for this summer. I will be doing a review of this entire collection soon, so stay tuned for that. I love this bright pale yellow and it looks so good paired with Wednesday. I also added a fun paisley accent nail. It's pretty simple to create using a dotting tool.

Transitional Nail Polishes (Winter to Spring)

This time of year can just drag sometimes! Don't you agree? It's that time of year when you just want Winter to take a hike and Spring to move in! I don't know about you, but polish is the perfect pick me up for those blues :).

I put together a YouTube video where I have some nail polish suggestions for this transitional phase from Winter to Spring. It's my first time uploading a video where I am actually in front of the camera so everyone be nice to me! Ha! I really wanted to try out this type of video, mostly because these types of videos are really what got me loving polish again. Let me know if you want more videos like this in the future :).

Above are a few of the polishes I mention in the video. I mostly love to wear "dusty" colors this time and year and reserve the spring colors for when it's actually spring. I have several suggestions of color types as well as specific ones. I hope it's helpful and it can pick up your spirits and help you to go polished too!

My #11 favorite fall polish for 2015...

Zoya Payton!

Zoya describes Payton as a full-coverage, galactic cranberry with holographic glitter. Couldn't have said it better myself ;). If you aren't a fan of glitter and are ready to pass this up...don't. I am not a huge glitter fan, but there is something magical about these holo Zoya polishes. The moment you put them on your finger tips you will fall in love. Seriously though, you need to give these a try!

The swatch above is one thick coat. You really have to get a good thick coat though if you want to have it be opaque, or you can just do two thinner coats. Such a beautiful color for fall. What do you guys think? Do you love it!

I don't have any comparisons for this polish because, well...there isn't any polishes that compare. You just need this one. :)

You can buy Zoya polish on their website zoya.com for $9. Amazon and Ulta also have select colors available. 

I knew I wanted to do a fairly simple design with this polish just because it is such a stand out by itself. Doing a design with negative space seemed appropriate, and I decided a nice soft pink would work well with Payton's cranberry tone. The pink I used is Essie Romper Room. So pretty!!

My #8 Favorite Fall Polish for 2015...

ZOYA Yuna!

If you haven't tried any Zoya nail polishes, you should! Each one I have tried I have loved. Their formula seems to be so consistent and they have such a wide variety of colors and finishes. Yuna is no exception! It was released as part of their fall Ignite collection in 2014. Yuna is a graphite gray polish with glittery copper and gold flecks (which can shift green in some lights). The formula is great-just like any other Zoya nail polishes I have tried. You can find select Zoya polishes at Ulta. Amazon carries some of their colors. Zoya also offers great deals and discounts every few months online, so keep your eyes out for those sales.

It takes 2 generous coats for this polish to be opaque. This swatch is 2 coats. Yuna is like Fall in a bottle! I fell in love with it last fall, and I was definitely anxious to break it out again this fall.

As far as comparisons go, nothing really compares to this polish. It's just in a league of it's own! I can find a few with that same smoky gray color, but they lack the gorgeous glittery sheen. I never would have thought I would wear a glittery polish (I am more of a cream girl), but Zoya's glitter polishes are different. Just enough sparkle, but nothing too obnoxious or cheesy. If you know what I mean :). If you haven't tried one, what are you waiting for?!

I chose to do a gold flower design with Yuna. It's a stunner for sure! I love the way it looked with just part of the flower on each nail instead of a whole flower. LOVE!

Here is a tutorial if you want to try this out for yourself!
