Pink Wednesday: Zoya Gilda

It's still Wednesday, right? I still have time to get in on this week's Pink Wednesday!

This is Zoya Gilda, from the gorgeous Sparkle collection. It's an awesome bright pink, full of glass fleck sparkles. After three coats there's still a little visible nail line, but the color and the sparkle easily distract from it.


Isn't that sparkle just beautiful?

Sally Hansen Nasturtium

I'm back! I promise to start catching up on everything today.

This is another vintage Sally Hansen in the wonderful square bottle. Nasturtium came out with the Spring 2009 collection, but it's a color that goes well with the current New England landscape. It's an interesting shade of orange that has a suggestion of pink to it. The formula applies beautifully and was perfect in two coats.


Here's one of the great views I got to enjoy this weekend. (Click on it for the full-sized picture.)


That's a yak grazing down in the field!

Revlon Facets of Fuchsia

Just a quick post! Here's Revlon Facets of Fuchsia. I used three coats and it was easy to apply. This polish looks about the same whether photographed in the sun or the shade. It looks a little bumpy here as I don't have a topcoat on. This is a girly pink glitter, but since it's in a black jelly base it has a bit of a glam rock feel.


I thought I'd have time for a longer post today, but I'm getting ready for a camping trip and of course preparations took longer than I imagined! I'll be away for Saturday and Sunday, but I should be back Monday night. I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Happy Thanksgiving to the Canadians! =)

Color Club Electronica

Color Club Electronica was part of the Dance To The Musique collection from Fall 2008. It's a vibrant, blue-based purple with magenta shimmer. It's a girly combo of pink and purple, but the deep saturation gives it some edge.


Electronica is easy to apply and is opaque in two coats.

And a quick thank you to Laura of Clothes, Cosmetics and Chat! She gave me a blog award today, which I will do a proper job of accepting tomorrow. (You can see more award winners on her blog, too. Definitely worth checking out!) So if you're here because you saw the link on her blog, welcome! And thank you again, Laura, you made me feel warm and fuzzy today. =)

Falling Autumn Leaves — Zoya Jem with Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure

This is a gorgeous combination. If you have Zoya Jem, I highly recommend layering a flaky polish on top. This combination makes me think of eating cider donuts and drinking hot apple cider. I took way too many pictures because it looks amazing from every angle.


Doesn't this remind you of Fall in New England?
