Zoya Brittany

 Nothing To Disclose
Next in the Zoya Naturel Satins collection is Brittany - a rose mauve cream polish. I actually really like this type of color so I was excited to try it on. 

I used a base coat of Zoya Anchor, 2 coats of polish and no top coat. All the Satins are listed as not intended to be worn with top coat, so that's how I'm wearing them. I do wonder on the wear time with no top coat as that's not my normal routine. This polish was also a little thick but less thick than Ana and definitely not unmanageable. Just make sure you go slow and steady and use thin coats.

Well, this color did not flatter my skin as much as I hoped. The color itself is pretty but I just wasn't a huge fan of it on my hands.

Even in the shade, this polish just kind of fades into my skin for me. Great office neutral though.

Now when I get in some indirect light, the rose starts to show a bit better and I fall a little in love but unless I just constantly stand under porches, this polish is going to sit on the shelf for a bit.

Same here next to my front door - pretty color but I do have an issue on my ring finger where you can see my ridges quite clearly.

Here in my light box is the prettiest picture but I'm still just not sold on the color overall on me. I think this needs some sparkle to make it pop - maybe China Glaze Fairy Dust or even a holo top coat.

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel

Sally Hansen also jumped into the gel game last year with their revolutionary new gel manicure system without the light! I never did try their gel manicure that came with a tiny little finger light but I heard from other bloggers that for the price point, they liked it.

Zoya Ana

 Nothing To Disclose
If you've been a long time reader, you know that I'm a bit sick of nude polish. That being said, when I heard about the Zoya Naturel Satin collection, I bought it as soon as it was available. The latest twist in the nude game is this chalk like finish from Zoya - not quite matte but more of a powder finish. First up I have Zoya Ana - a light toasted almond color.

I used a base coat of Zoya Armor, 2 coats of polish and no top coat. This formula was a little thick to work with but not unmanageable. Dry time was actually really nice even without a top coat.

This is a perfect office neutral for those who aren't able to go wild with polish - it's not quite what I would think almond is but it's also not really pink or brown. I'm kind of at a loss on how to describe the color.

In the shade you can also see that the Satin bottles are all frosted - it's to help distinguish the finish on this polish - while it is opaque, it's a bit hard to tell the true color in the bottle.

In the indirect light of my living room, you can see more of a pink tone coming through, I do think this is very complimentary to my skin tone and I could see myself wearing it more with short nails during long winter months. I do prefer brighter shades but this has its place.

This final photo is from my light box. You can almost see a sheen from the light which gives to look of a glossy polish but as you can see above, it's not glossy at all. It's definitely unique and I do like the look.

Morgan Taylor Lip Service

Press Sample 
When a reader asked to see a comparison of Morgan Taylor Ella of a Girl and Lip Service to compare pinks, I felt I should also write a review since I hadn't done it yet. Lip Service was originally a core color from Morgan Taylor but it was also included in the Breast Cancer Awareness 2014 collection called Fight Like A Lady.

I used a base coat of Duri Rejuvacote, 2 coats of polish and finished with Digital Nails Ain't Nobody Got Time For That. Formula was nice and smooth.

Here in the sun it looks pretty happy, right? Quite the Barbie pink to me but just lovely.

Here in the shade you can see it's rather cool toned - no hidden shimmers or anything inside.

Probably my favorite picture of this polish was taken in indirect sunlight. Just buttery smooth.

Finally a quick photo in my light box. A great staple to any collection. Not terribly unique but a great staple.

Did you see the swatch stick comparison of Ella Of A Girl and Lip Service?
