OPI DS Extravagance vs Zoya Aurora

I found my Zoya Aurora and did the comparison. Just from the bottles I could tell they were close but not exact. Close enough that someone does not need to own both. The Zoya is a lighter purple and the glitter is more holographic looking, way more sparkly:). I would recommend the Zoya Aurora hands down.

The OPI Designer series is also very nice it is a deeper purple and has the glitter effect just not as bright or sparkly as the Zoya.

I tried to do a side by side comparison on same hand but is very hard with lighting then I use my phone for pictures still. Really need to start using my new camera more:). I will say that the OPI only needs one coat, it is amazing coverage in one coat. The Zoya needs two for sure. Then the Zoya looks super shiny without the top coat but the OPI needed a top coat to bring at the sparkle in the glitter.

Check out the photos and let me know what you think. I say close enough to only need to have one or the other bug not an exact duplicate. More to come because tonight I started doing a comparison and inventory of all my polishes. I will have a blog sale and contest coming up soon. Have a few indie colors I will be selling so keep an eye out, Lynnderella fans let me know I have several I don't use I just swatched them, not a fan of thick glitter to hard to remove then ruins my nails. Good night everyone;)

Orly and Color Club Swatches

I decided to try out my deals from TJ Maxx yesterday. Didn't have a lot of time to prep and polish so just swatched a few for tonight then after trying out five colors I decided to go with Material Girl Phantom. I will feature photos of that and details in next post.

Yesterday I got a mini four pack of Color Club polishes for $3.99 I believe threw out the box. I swatched two they don't have names or numbers which is odd I grabbed box and they are the In True Fashion collection and they were $4.99. No names still. The one on my thumb looks like a iridescent gold/green color. On my nail it looked gold with a slight green tone when I moved it around. The other color I sampled was a rust metallic color which was my favorite of the two. I have two other colors a dark blue and a purple, green iridescent color almost like Hard Candy, Beetle. I will sample those when my nails chip.

Then last up was the two Orly colors. I got Emberstone and Stone Cold. Both gorgeous. I love the glitter look and they both applied very nice. Emberstone looks orange in the bottle but on my nails had a pink look to it but lately I been wondering if I'm a little color blind lol. Things never seem to be what they appear lol.

I will post more photos of my full manicure with Material girl Phantom. That is on my ring finger and I loves it that I decided to go with that color. The Orly polishes were $3.99 a bottle at TJ Maxx. I rarely buy anything full price so not sure how much they are normally I believe about $8-9 a bottle depending on where you shop.

Enjoy the photos and have a wonderful weekend. Have lots of clothing deals and steals. Got shoes, a purse, a few dresses then a lot of cute sweater tops and long sleeve tops for me and my daughters along with jeans for my little one and all at amazing low prices. My favorite part of living in south Florida is that this time of year they clearance out shorts, tanks, sandals and summer clothes which we live in pretty much year round unless we have a cool front. I hear we have one coming behind this storm. Can't wait for sweaters, scarves and boots! Yay.
