Blue Monday--China Glaze 2NITE

Starting the week with a bang, here are my show-off swatches of China Glaze 2NITE, a grey-leaning periwinkle blue holo, taken at Disney Cruise Line's island, Castaway Cay.  All swatches are three coats with no top coat.



On the trip, I took black and white clothes, and white and exactly this color of periwinkle clothing as well.  Loved wearing this and couldn't resist a few swatches. :)

Zoya Lovely Collection: Neely

Neely is a pastel sage green crème polish from Zoya's Spring 2013 collection, Lovely.  It's just slightly too yellow to qualify as a mint green, but it's a gorgeous spring color.  The formula was perfect, dry time was good and it reached bottle color in three thin coats.  All swatches are three coats without top coat.

Neely is a soft pastel that isn't washed out or chalky, and if you would like to add this beauty to your polish wardrobe, it's available now at Zoya for $8 + shipping.

I adore lavender polishes, but most of mine tend to be more pink-toned, so a blue-toned lavender is a nice addition to my stash.  Add the icy shimmer, and I'm definitely in love!  Julie is part of the Lovely Collection, now available at Zoya for $8 plus shipping.

Zoya Lovely Collection: Jacqueline

Jacqueline is a nude or beige or cream crème polish from Zoya's Lovely Collection.  It's a pretty polish which is well-behaved, neither too thick nor too thin, dries quickly and is opaque in three thin coats.  Unfortunately, on me the color pulls yellow-peach, which I feel is unflattering on me.  All swatches are three coats without top coat.

Jacqueline is a perfectly lovely polish that does not look good on me, but if you like your cream with a touch of peach, you can get it for $8 + shipping at Zoya.

Zoya Lovely Collection: GeiGei

The second color (in alphabetical order) from the Lovely Collection is GeiGei, a delicate pastel pink metallic shimmer.  It was opaque in three thin coats, dried quickly, and is icicle-shiny before top coat.  Zoya describes GeiGei as a foil, but to me it's more of a pastel glass-fleck.  Whatever you choose to call it, it's fresh, springy and utterly beautiful.  All swatches are three coats without top coat.
