Three things people.
(1) It is NEVER okay to use your blog to bash another blogger, ESPECIALLY for blog views (people reading your dumb drama). If you have a problem with a blogger, put your big girl pants on, and talk to them. This is not related to me, but rather to a blogger that I enjoy following, and what I saw today flat out irritated me. She is being bashed, and for NO good reason, and I'm irritated. rawr.
(2) I want some GOSH Holographic polish. I'm trying to figure out a way to get it here to my house, so if you know someone in the States that sells it, please let me know. You can leave it in the comments or email it to me at krystal@polishgalore.com (PS: I found their USA website but they don't have GOSH Holographic specifically) Fulfilled! Thank you so much to Martje from Girly Addictions for the trade of GOSH Holographic for deborah lippmann Happy Birthday!
(3) emeraldsparkled of Twitter, who owns the blog of the same name made this awesome little graphic which I'm using in my blog now. If you'd like to do the same, please message her (she does recolors too!)
That will be all. <3
From the Fall 2010 Style in Argyle collection, Barielle's Aura Angora is a royal gold creme, that reminded me of mustard to be honest. There was an episode of the Girls Next Door (one of the few I saw), where one of the girls was going all over New York City looking for "yellow mustard" but all the vendors had was a brownish mustard. While this isn't truly a brown yellow, I was reminded of it while swatching this color.
I used a base coat of Seche Natural, only one fully opaque coat of Aura Angora, and a top of Seche Vite. The formula was just a tiny bit thick, but for a yellow to be opaque and not streaky in one coat is an amazing feat.
As you can see in the sun, this isn't a neon yellow by any means. The hint of brown (seen in all the colors of this collection) is apparent, but it's still a pretty fall color.
In the shade, the color really reminded me of the brown mustard from the TV show mentioned above, but it's definitely a gold color - almost like a tarnished gold? I think this would be great in nail art as well.

Essence said on Twitter today that you can purchase their polishes at Ulta and HEB. Now, unless there's another HEB out there, HEB is a line of grocery stores in the south, and one of my favorites at that. I can't WAIT to find these.
Zoya Shawn was a green creme in the Wicked/Wonderful Fall 2010 Collection and at first, I just wasn't sure how I'd like this color. It's darker than a Granny Smith apple, but not so dark that it was black (which I'm just not loving the blackened colors).
The formula on this was great. I used a base of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of Shawn although I probably could have gotten away with one, and a top of Zoya Armor.
I'm still debating on how I like this color for me. I think it would be amazing in nail art, but as a whole color, it's just so bold. Great for women who don't mind people staring at their hands, because this is a BOLD green.
Here in the shade, the color doesn't hide either. It's still nice and bold - just a great green. It reminds me of the color of money in cartoons. ^_^
Zoya [official website] can be purchased on their website for $7/bottle.
