Del Sol’s Vanity

Zoya’s Pepper

Medium-deep red creme. I don't know if this is my favorite shade from the Cashmeres collection, or of Flynn is - but I love them both. (Bonus? The two colors coordinate well.)

Zoya’s Sailor

Zoya’s Summer 2013 Pixie Dust collection

Application is fairly standard for Zoya’s textured polishes: two coats for full opacity, allow plenty...

Beauty from the Earth’s Cafe Latte

The lightest color in BFTE's Coffee Shop collection. (Three of the five are fairly close in terms of color depth, due to the finish.) This is also the only matte in the collection. I like that it doesn't only apply “super-soft.” Like most matte colors from just about any vendor,...
