Toma Wonderland from the Snow Caps Collection.

Hey guys! This is going to be a quick post, as I'm not feeling so well. Again. I'm going to take a nap, when I'm through here. I think I really am sick this time though, and not just tired. :-( I had a feeling I was coming down with something with how tired I've been recently.

A couple of weeks ago, I was on a dusty hunt and I found a Toma polish. I had never heard of it before, but thought it was different, and it was on sale for only $2 so I grabbed it. It's called Wonderland, and it's from a collection called Snow Caps. I think I'm going to have to find the rest of them. I really like this one. Wonderland has a white base with magenta glitter,silver glitter,silver hex glitter, and a few white colored flakies. It has a little of everything in it! Application was great, and I used three coats.

To see all of the detail of this polish, I def. recommend clicking on the pics.;-)









Here are a couple of close up's. In the first one, you can see the flakies, and in the second pic. you can see the silver hex.





Do you know anything about this collection? If so, I'd love to know more about it. When it came out etc...I'm not on the hunt for the rest of them. :-)

Zoya Gemma and Pure Ice Tease

Hey everyone!!! Wow, it's been awhile. It feels like forever. I'm back....kinda. I have a temp. fix to my camera, but am going to have to send it off for a couple of weeks, to get fixed. :-( I plan on swatching/taking pics. as much as I can before I send it off. That way I'll still have plenty to blog about while my camera is gone. I def. have plenty of polishes to swatch. I have a CRAZY amount of new polish. Soo....how have you all been? Good, I hope. :-)

I'm sure most of you already know, but Zoya has a new collection out. The Intimate collection for Spring. I bought three of the colors. Gemma,Jules and Dannii. I have Gemma to show you today. I absolutely fell in love with this polish after seeing a few other bloggers post pics. of it. It's an army jacket green with purple shimmer. I couldn't wait to get it on my nails.

Have you ever fallen in love with a polish you just had to have? Only to get it home, and be majorly disappointed with it? Well, I'm sorry to say, but this is Gemma for me. I was expecting a nice greenish color with a really pretty purple glow. Instead, I got what looks like I dipped my nails in pea soup with hardly and purple glow. :-( It was also a bit thick and goopey which is very unusual for a Zoya polish. Now I know I'm in the minority here, as most people seem to love this polish. I did too, from others pics. Unfortunately it's just not working for me. This one will be going in my swap/sell bin.

I used two coats of Gemma, and ended up putting a coat of Pure Ice Tease on top. I like it much better with the PI. PI Tease is a magenta base with purple glitter.

First up is Gemma.







With Pure Ice Tease over it.









So, what do you think of Gemma?
