Nail Polish Shopping Spree!

What started out as a quick trip to Ulta for a new top coat turned into a polish extravaganza. Upon realizing that said top coat was out of stock, I proceeded to buy five nail polishes.

The first thing I grabbed was Essie's Matte About You. I've been lusting over this top coat that has the ability to turn glossy nails matte with a single coat.

Next, I looked through the whites. My Sally Hansen Insti-Dri White separated beyond repair, so I needed a new one. I chose OPI's Alpine Snow, which is a straight up pure white.

I Have a Herring Problem is my favorite of the polishes I got. This dusty blue with gold and silver shimmer is from OPI's Holland Collection. It's so pretty!

I wanted a nude color (to hop on the Spring trend), but all of the true nudes looked weird against my fair skin. I ended up going with OPI's Bubble Bath. It has just enough pink to compliment my skin tone.

Finally, I grabbed my first Zoya in years. Edyta is a sparkly, shimmery olive green with a metallic finish. It has itsy bitsy flecks of gold, orange, yellow, and blue. I'll probably break it out during March.

Which one should I try first?!

Zoya 2012 Spring Collection

I haven't used Zoya in a long time, but it keeps popping up on some of the nail blogs I read. I checked out their Spring 2012 collection called "True," and I must say, there are some cute shades.

Cho- an opaque yellow-toned light soft peachy beige with a hint of ultra fine silver shimmer

Farah- an opaque light khaki-beige with subtle sandy, greenish undertones and a cream finish

Bevin- a dusty, medium sage green with teal tones and a creamy opaque finish

Skylar- a medium steel blue with a softened, dusty look and speckled by visible gold and silver shimmer flecks

Tru- a saturated, red-toned grape purple with speckled shimmer that reflects gold, orange and red

Lotus- a very soft, dusty blue-toned amethyst purple with colorful shimmer that reflects pink, red and gold

I like these colors, especially Tru and Bevin, but I have to disagree with these descriptions. I know Zoya wrote them, but does Skylar look like a steel blue to you? Or does Lotus look like a dusty-blue toned amethyst?

Who knows, maybe they look completely different on the nail than in the bottle.
