Here's Jacy. I think I captured the shimmer a little better this time. If you click the picture, I think you'll be able to see the pretty pink sparkles.
And, the rest:
Thumb to pinkie: Blair, Colbie, Sloane, Rihana, Mikka.
Aren't they gorgeous?
And, a sidenote: I'm working on all of your requests. I know I've been behind in posting lately, but I really love your requests and I'm picky about getting the perfect picture for you! Always feel free to email me (with the word 'request' somewhere in the email or subject line, cause it makes searching my email a little easier ;-) ) or leave a comment with a request. I may not be able to post it right away, but I really enjoy doing them.
If you feel like I've forgotten you, or I'm taking too long, let me know! I don't want to forget anyone! You guys are the best :)
No Scrangie.. *you* are the best, for trying to fulfill individual requests for swatches. I adore you for that, and your pics are always so gorgeous!

Scrangie, you are awesome and not behind at all! I am always impressed that you put something up every couple of days and manage to have fantastic pics and perfect nail polish.
ReplyDeleteYou rock and you spoil us too much! :)
TK, aweeee thank you! I just ADORE my readers! :D
ReplyDeleteMelli, no, you guys spoil ME with all your patience and kind words! :) Thank you <3
Your pictures and the word crappy should never be together in the same sentence!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! Lovelovelovelovelove!
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing!
And the Zoya Pulse-collection is amazing!
And hopefully it is on its way to Stockholm as we speak!:D
Gorgeous colours! And you're the best!:)
ReplyDeleteYou take beautiful pictures, in face I always refer to them before I make my np purchases online - You had me completely sold on Blair and Mikka from the Pulse collection. I can't wait til they arrive!!
ReplyDeleteStef
I'm a new reader and a big fan - you post so often, I keep coming back. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI NEED Jacy! The others I think I can do without. And, as always, your pictures are amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh my!! Zoya always draws my attention and every single one of them is fabulous! Lovelovelove!
ReplyDeleteOmg! Sminkan and I had the same love thought :O The two of us often think alike!
ReplyDeleteThey look so pretty!
ReplyDelete...just an OT question.. is MUA make up alley... i searched it online because i HAD to know ,,that seems to me like the first logical place to me...
ReplyDeleteDanielle
N., thank you! :)
ReplyDeleteSminkan, awwwww! :) And I hope so too, you will love them!
Badbomben, thank you :D :D :D
Hotpinkheels, wow thank you SO much!! :)
Anonymous, welcome! I hope you enjoy my future posts, I'm happy to have you here!
Claire, thank you! Jacy is very fascinating, I love it!
Rocketqueen, hooray!! I really love Zoya polishes, they have such great colors!
Sanna, I think so too :)
Danielle, yep, that's right!!
I too always refer to your blog before buying a polish. It's so great to have your blog, and you're a really thoughtful person to buy all the polishes in the collections and swatch them for us. So a great big THANKYOU for all your hard work :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd... I have a request but only when you have time ;-)
I'd love to see YOUR all time favourite polishes! You always do stuff for us I want to see what you love to wear! :-)
Your pics are great, Scrangie! I haven't been home early enough to catch the sunlight so I can stare at my new beautiful Zoya bottles in all their glory... so your pics help feed my love! I couldn't believe how Sloane was practically opaque after one coat! *sigh* So awesome...
ReplyDeleteKayvid(MUA): Holy Moly! This is one awesome blog...just chanced upon it and now I'm hooked. Love the swatches. I am a newbie, could you please help me by pointing out whihc stores I can buy China Glaze, Zoya, Misa and Orly at? And I mean, new collections and everything. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteAs for requests, I agree with all the readers who have been asking you to give us a list of your top polishes...I know, I know, too many! Maybe dividing them by colour category or brand would help.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your list!!
omg! scrangie! i just saw one of your pics on nail gal - RBL Noisette! Where did you get that one! it is gorrrgeous! (=
ReplyDeleteYour nails are so gorgeous! I love the Jacy color!
ReplyDeleteCarla G, thank you SO much :D Seriously, that means a lot to me! I love to help and to share my obsession with other polish junkies :) And I think I will do a post with my favorite polishes! Except, almost every polish is my favorite LOL
ReplyDeleteFauxfun, thank you!! :D Aren't they beautiful?? Sloane is sooo hot, I almost want to drink it, XD
Hi Kay! Welcome! :) I usually buy all those polishes online at a discount from 8ty8beauty.com, head2toebeauty.com or transdesign.com. Zoya is available from Zoya.com
I know that Ulta and Sally Beauty carry a limited selection of China Glaze and Orly, but I'm not sure which store sells Misa or Zoya. Hope this helps :)
Melli, that's a great idea, and sounds much more manageable! :D
Andie, I got mine on Amazon.com! It was recently discontinued, but last time I checked, Amazon and Beautysak.com still had them in stock :)
Lydia, thank you :) Jacy is extremely pretty :)
Scrangie, your previous swatches were fine! I was wondering though, would you happen to have mixed Colbie and Blair up before in your first swatches? Or is it the lighting? In your old swatch, it seems that Colbie is more "berry" coloured, and Blair is the blackened red, but here, it looks like Colbie is actually more red than Blair...
ReplyDeleteAnonymous, yes, thank you! I think I did switch them. And I know for sure I switched Alix and Dakota on the other one :( Normally I line up the bottles in the order I take the pictures, but I must have messed up this one! XD
ReplyDeleteSorry, for some reason I thought I was logged in but it still said I was "anonymous"...oh well! Anyway, thanks for clarifying that Scrangie! I accidentally ordered Blair then, so I will have to get Colbie too. The salons here that sell Zoya have NO IDEA about this collection...so maybe they'll never get it in. Anyway, I love Blair too from the "fake" Colbie swatch, so I don't mind owning both!
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry Karman! They are really pretty close to each other, and they're both beautiful :) I think I'll have to start writing them down as I go so I can't somehow mix them up! =/
ReplyDeleteOh no worries!! I was going to order the whole collection anyway, I just decided that I have a lot of jeweled purples like Jacy and that I don't *need* Rihana...I was actually going to order both Colbie and Blair in the first place! I'm just thankful you're willing to take all this time and swatch them for us!! =)
ReplyDeleteKarman, awww thank you :) I will be more careful next time, but I'm really glad you brought it to my attention! :D <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Scrangie!! MY Never Enough SHoes looks a touch browner..love the ZOyas!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love them Scrangie! Is Sloane similar to ChG Midnight Ride (or anything else)?
ReplyDeleteI just put on Yasmeen for the first time today -- how do the lot of these compare to it? I love the dark purple shimmers...
ReplyDeleteDiann_co, thanks! I'd say Sloane and Midnight Ride are somewhat similar- dark and shimmery with a purple base, but Sloane is a brighter purple :)
ReplyDeletePenemuel, I don't think any of these are really similar to Yasmeen color-wise, but Blair and Colbie have the same type of shimmer/texture that Yasmeen has :D
You've got the most beautiful nails. :)
ReplyDeleteHow do you feel about MAC polishes?
Pimentoplane, thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI have mixed feelings about MAC polish- some of the old ones used to be not-so-good, but the newly released ones are much better quality. I have no complaints about the colors- their colors ROCK! But some of the old ones took a long time to dry and chipped easily. I haven't had that problem with the more recent ones. Hope this helps :)
