Where have I been? Where have I been? I have absolutely no idea. I got lost in working and, well, nothing else I guess. Anyway, I have some sparkly polishes swatched to show :) All three of these beauties are in natural light out in my front yard.

First up is the lovely Julieanne from Zoya - a deep violet purple, leaning ever so slightly toward blue-ish. She went on so smoothly! And the sparkles - oh the sparkles! Base was China Glaze Strong Adhesion, two coats of Julieanne and a top coat of ORLY Sec'n Dry. The application on most Zoya polishes is flawless for me ... as long as I don't use the color lock system.

Next is Charla -the most mermaid-esque shade of blue-green. The turquoise-like base would be beautiful on its own, but it's cut with gorgeous flecks of shimmer. Base was China Glaze Strong Adhesion, two coats of Charla and a top coat of ORLY Sec'n Dry. As you can see, out in the sun, you can see the slightest hint of VNL. For all those who like a smooth polish - no worries on these glittery ladies. The finish is smooth.

Last, but certainly not least, is the bright Ivanka, a tropical green packed with sparkly goodness. While driving with this polish on (and Charla, too, actually), I had to fight to pay attention to the road because I kept wanting to stare at my fingernails! Base was China Glaze Strong Adhesion, two coats of  Ivanka and a top coat of ORLY Sec'n Dry.

**DISCLAIMER**  I was not paid for this review by anyone. I received these bottles of polish as part of Zoya's Facebook promotion for 3 free bottles of nail polish. I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
