Wing Dust Collections: Zambezi Sunset

I have another beauty from Wing Dust Collections. This time is Zambezi Sunset, which is inspired by the gorgeous sunsets of Zambia. 

 

When I first looked at this lacquer, I thought it had an orange base. But upon closer examination, I would say it leans more toward a salmon base with a golden micro glitter shimmer. Zambezi Sunset is a buildable jelly that you can wear on its own or over another color. It has gold, pink, yellow, and red hexes throughout in hexes and bars. It really does look like a sunset caught in a bottle.

I chose to wear Zambezi Sunset on its own and it was opaque in two coats for me. Check it out!

 I love all of the colors in this one! It's very glowy.

Application was great. I didn't have any issues whatsoever and the glitter disbursed very easily. I like that you have the option of wearing this on its own (as you can see, coverage was great) or over something else. I opted to wear Zambezi Sunset on its own to show you all of the glittery goodness.

Rainbow Honey: Hoof Wrassle & Koi Pond

I love OPI's Germany Collection. The color variety is great and it still manages to be a cohesive collection. One color included in the collection is a fiery orange,  Deutsch You Want Me Baby? The swatch photo shows two coats. No topcoat. It's so shiny on its own that it doesn't need one.

Lush Lacquer: Tutti Frutti

Today was a loong day for me. Summer seems to have a tendenacy to just drag weekdays out and today was one of those days. But something that always makes me smile after the end of the day? Nail polish. And today is no different.

So I spy with my little eye Lush Lacquer Tutti Frutti, a fun orange-tinted glitter polish with large rose hexes throughout. I think that the rose hexes have a holo quality to them. MUCH better results from Lush Lacquer than the first time I swatched one of the mother-daughter duo's polishes here.  I'm really glad that I took advantage of Lush Lacquer's "pick any three minis" because it allowed me to get a nice selection from the brand.

 Look at how much fun is crammed into this bottle!

And here is one coat of Tutti Frutti over Essie Braziliant. Love it! I want to use this for a pedi and take off to the beach ASAP with it.

Metametics Part 1: Fire Nation & Lannister Gold

I hope that everyone is having a lazy Sunday. It's too hot here to do anything outside so I'm catching up on indoor work, like organizing all of my swatch photos and taking care of all of the paperwork associated with starting a small business. On the plus side, that means I will hopefully be open for business soon. 

Recently I purchased 4 polishes from a relatively new store on Etsy: Metametics. I received Fire Nation, Lannister's Gold, Highly Functioning Sociopath, andGod of Mischief. From the Etsy shop:

Metametics lacquers are inspired by sci-fi, fantasy and pop culture. Made by geeks, for geeks!

Today I have Fire Nation and Lannister Gold. 

Fire Nation has a slightly orange-tinted jelly base and gold, orange, and red glitters of various sizes and shapes dispersed throughout. It is from Metametics' Avatar collection.

Lannister Gold is a gold-hued jelly with gold glitter of various shapes and sizes dispersed throughout. It is from Metametics' Game of Thrones collection.

Fair warning this post is a little picture heavy.

Windestine: Pumpkin Pie

Here is my second Windestine purchase -- Pumpkin Pie!

Pumpkin Pie is very appropriately named.  I think Pumpkin Soup would have been the only more color-accurate name for this polish.  Orange can be a difficult color but this shade is great for a lot of skin tones, even my very pale skin.  The formula was perfect.  I'm kicking myself for only purchasing two minis from Windestine and am going to have to keep an eye on the shop for more purchasing possibilities. 

This particular polish had an amazing formula, an orange jelly base, and silver holo glitters throughout -- but not so many glitters that I had any difficulty when I (sadly) had to remove the polish from my nails.
