Freeze by Sally Hansen

This is a frosty metallic blue color by Sally Hansen called "Freeze". It was easily applied in 2 coats. I then decided to make it interesting by adding "Liquid Crystal" by China Glaze onto the ring fingers. I then topped them off with Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat.

Zoya's New Pixie Dust Review - Chyna

This polish is called "Chyna" and is Red in color just perfect for today! (Valentine's Day) It is made by "Zoya" and comes from the NEW "Pixie Dust Collection". This collection is similar to OPI's Liquid Sand Collection and China Glazes's Textured Collection but, I have only experience OPI and Zoya's version thus far and have to say I am more pleased with OPI's Liquid Sand.

I applied this in two coats allowing each coat to dry before adding the another.

Keep in mind this is the first color I have tried too. Personally I prefer Chyna with a top coat to seal off that grainy look BUT, when it comes to the Liquid Sand Collection I like them just the way they are.

With the one coat of Seche Vite's Fast Dry Top Coat this color reminds me of Ruby Pumps by China Glaze.

Blaze by Zoya from the Ornate Collection

This is a holographic polish in a nice cool toned maroon / plum red color. It is called "Blaze" by Zoya and is from the 2012 Ornate Holiday Collection. It is a very stunning polish and my images do NOT do justice. It was applied in two simple coats without any fuss. I then applied one coat of Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat. This polish did not chip during wear time. If you have any questions please feel free to comment below.

Boys 'N' Berries over Creative Fantasy

In this look I started out with 3 coats of "Creative Fantasy" by China Glaze which is a grape purple satin jelly polish. I then applied"Boys 'N' Berries" by Nina Ultra Pro which is a magenta glitter polish. I applied a small amount on the end of the tip and brushed what was still wet towards the cuticle creating a gradient effect and finally sealed it with a gloss finish using Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat.
