Zoya NYFW 2012 Gloss Collection Swatches and Review

Here is the final installment of my Zoya NYFW 2012 Collection Series. I already posted my swatches and review of the Zoya Designer and Zoya Diva collections. Today we talk about this mini-collection of sheer jelly polishes called Zoya Gloss.

These trio of polishes come in this really squishy, very jell-o-like finish. They are sheer and very buildable. I have not been a real fan of jelly polishes because I've always loved creams, but when I tried this trio, the finish really impressed me. These polishes can also be great top coats over creams if you want a jelly-like finish. They also have a noticeable gradient effect, with a lighter shade at the top of the nail going darker at the tips. So pretty!

As I took photos of my swatches, however, I noticed that they seem to look blurry or fuzzy in direct sunlight. Maybe the glare doesn't work well with jellies? Anyways, here are some photos of the swatches under direct sunlight and under shade.

OPI Fall/Winter 2012: Germany Collection

OPI Launches the Germany Collection for Fall/Winter 2012

OPI embraces runway trends with the Germany Collection for Fall/Winter 2012. Drawing inspiration from Berlin, an exciting new fashion hub that blends classic looks with the avant-garde, the collection’s twelve shades offer a mixture of vibrant color, urban-chic neutrals, and reds in variations from light to dark.

“Designers showcased rich colors and striking textures for fall,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “The Germany Collection beautifully complements these looks, with standout shades in various hues of red and burgundy – the season’s ‘new black.’ Sapphire, black olive and lime yellow are married with creamy neutrals in honey, taupe and nude rose.”
“The overall feel of the Germany Collection is elegance with an edge,” adds Suzi. “The varied palette of colors adds another accent to the list of special touches – think beadwork, paneling, fur and embroidery – that walked the runways during New York Fashion Week. Wearing these shades on fingers and toes is a great way to accessorize a range of looks for the season.”

Germany by OPI includes the following shades:



Don’t Pretzel My Buttons
A haute honey-beige that can always make you smile.

NEW NARSskin Skincare

It's only apt that a premium cosmetics brand such as NARS has its own skincare line. The skin is the canvass on which makeup artistry is showcased, so it's imperative that good skincare is maintained to protect and nourish that canvass. As a brand rooted in makeup artistry it’s important that the skincare line reflect that. NARS introduces NARSskin. This 10-product collection has both anti-aging and illuminating properties that help your face look its best. All products will be available at Saks Fifth Avenue stores on August 1 and everywhere else on August 15.
