The final duo set I have to show you today is the Electric Popelectric pop box, which includes two seriously poppin’ shades. The neon pink is called Pop-arrazi Pose and the super bright purple is Anime-zing Color!
Wow! This duo is brilliant! Electric Pop includes a hot pink neon creme called Pop-Arazzi Pose and a sassy nearly neon purple called Anime-Zing Color!
Both of these shades are quick drying, easy to work with, take 2-3 coats and dry to a satin finish. Adding a glossy topcoat is optional. Both are great for nail art!
I wanted you to see how these neon shades dry from the Hello Pretty! Electric Pop duo. Both are serious neons, the pink Pop-arazzi Pose more than the purple Anime=zing Color! They are both beautiful whether you leave them satin or add a glossy topcoat. Both take 2-3 coats depending on your technique. I used 3 coats for the pink and 2 coats for the purple.I used both neons (they dry satin by the way) in purple called Anime-zing Color! and the neon pink is Pop-arazzi Pose. It’s Anime-zing what you can do with just two colors!
I really enjoyed working with this collection. Something about anime makes you want to create some fun and funky nail art. I always choose fairly easy designs, because let’s face it, I’m no artist! LOL These are available now at Loxabeauty.com!

When I chatted with indie polish brand Virago Varnish‘s owner/creator, Adrienne about her upcoming collection, I kept getting more and more excited. One, because her formulas and colors are awesome. Two, I knew ahead of time the glitters in this set would be beyond belief. I was right! I will add to that and echo her excitement that one of the glitters in the set came with an honor every indie polish maker dreams about. She says, “Virago is excited to announce this stunning lacquer Radiance. It will be gifted at GBK鈥檚 Celebrity Gift Lounge honoring the 2015 MTV Movie Awards Nominees and Presenters!” How cool is that?! I will start there after I show you the bottles! 馃檪
4 fab glitter polishes. On top is Radiance and from L-R: Stellar, Allure and Glamorous.
I shot all the glitter polishes in full sun (and thank you Sun for appearing yesterday when I shot these!). Just for fun I did a gradient over a pale blue on the accent nail. This baby sure shines!I LOVE Radiance! It glows on your nail is sun or regular lighting. Radiance is described as, “Radiance couldn’t be a better fitting name for this lacquer. The holographic effect is so compelling that you’ll be staring at your nails all day. The holographic glitter in this lacquer is nostalgic of a 1960鈥檚 jacquard dinner dress.”
Who can resist a polish like Allure? Seriously smooth, like Glamorous and although no topcoat is require over these two coats, you could use that if you’re wanting to do stamping over this GORGEOUS holo glitter. I didn’t want to take it off!Allure is one of those holos you don’t want to take off. Did I mention it’s smooth as a baby’s “you-know-what”? Allure is described as, “Inspired by 1940s Old Hollywood, Allure does not disappoint. It鈥檚 like having a vintage sliver sequenced chiffon dress in a bottle. The holo in this lacquer is so intense that all eyes will be on your nails.” Opacity: Fully opaque in approximately 2-3 coats.
Ok, as I painted this one on I was seriously and immediately in love. Then it dried smooth and I was like, “whaaaa?” All that glitzyness and smooth as silk. I did a gradient over Majestic.Glamorous, all I can say is “WOW”! Also super smooth! Glamorous is described as, “Like a vintage 1950s black tulle Chantilly lace dress. Glamorous is a classy holographic micro-glitter lacquer in a black jelly base. The holo effect in this lacquer is mesmerizing.” Finish: Semi Matte, Micro-Glitter Opacity: Fully opaque in approximately 2-3 coats.
Stellar is right! And look at her over black, wow! It’s like holographic blue sugar!Stellar is such a gorgeous glitter and I love those little hints of purple. Stellar is described as, “Inspired by a 1950s flocked Chiffon dress, Stellar is a dazzling lacquer with various holographic micro-glitters in a clear base. As with all glitter lacquers from the Hollywood Glamour collection, Stellar also possesses intense holographic display.” Opacity: Fully opaque in approximately 2-3 coats.
Now on to the rest of the Hollywood Glamour collection with the other five elegant polishes. Each one destined to be award winning!
Five glorious formulas, from left: Elegance, Luxurious, Charisma, Majestic and Exclusive (which is a limited quantity you want to get your hands on!)
I will start with one that is very limited so you’re going to want to get your hands on this stunner Exclusive (maybe two?) before they are gone.
Well, Exclusive is named this for a reason. It’s a LTD polish, so you may want to order a couple!Exclusive is, oh my gosh, perfection! I can see why it’s name that. ONE COATER! Totally! Exclusive is described as, “Reminiscent of a 1940s champagne evening gown worn by old Hollywood鈥檚 best, Exclusive is a beautiful pearlescent lacquer. Only limited quantities of this lacquer are available. This lacquer will not be restocked.” Finish: Pearlescent, Semi-matte Opacity: Opaque in 1-2 coats
1-coater Charisma is satiny blue that is so classy. Pretty darn amazing!One of my faves of the bunch. Amazing on my nails! Charisma is described as, “If a vintage navy blue mesh silk chiffon dress was poured into a bottle it would be Charisma. Charisma is a gorgeous deep-navy blue nail lacquer that has glamour written all over it.” Finish: Metallic, Semi-matte Opacity: Opaque in 1-2 coats
Majestic is a shimmery metallic eggplant and opaque in 2 thin coats. It’s sure to be your next lemming!Majestic is a classic eggplant with a fab formula! Majestic is described as, “1939 has been known as Hollywood鈥檚 majestic year. Some of the most successful known films of all time were released in 1939. Majestic is an eggplant color nail lacquer inspired for a time when Hollywood was at its best. Majestic has a slight blue, pink, and light purple shimmer.” Finish: Metallic, Shimmer Opacity: Opaque in 1-2 coats
What a gorgeous transitional plum. Great for any season. This metallic only took 2 coats for me.Elegance in a bottle, oh yes, yes it is! Elegance is described as, “Inspired by the 1950s A-line swing dresses, Elegance is vivid plum colored lacquer that is graceful yet tantalizing.” Finish: Metallic Opacity: Opaque in 1-2 coats
Aptly named, Luxurious is also a 1-coater! This type of gold is a must have.And for that feel of the Golden Age of Luxurious living, this is not to be missed. Luxurious is described as, “Seeing that one gold satin dress on the red carpet screams luxury. Luxurious is a stunning metallic gold-bronze lacquer with a hint of sliver shimmer that is truly captivating.” Finish: Metallic, Shimmer Opacity: Opaque in 1-2 coats
The Hollywood Glamour collection will be released on March 6, 2015, just a few days away, so go start picking out your faves! Virago should be proud of this amazing collection.
I’d also add that the .45 oz bottles are great to display in their square bottles with matte caps. Easy to handle and the brushes are just perfect!

I am beyond pleased to share with you one of the newest additions to the Zoya family of Naturel nudes, the Naturel Satins Transitional collection for 2015. Inside the beautiful frosted bottles with velvety caps, lies the extremely opaque polishes that will take you smoothly from winter into spring. I used two coats of each shade, all very similar in formula with the exception of Ana. She was very slightly more sheer due to her pale pink shade, but smoothed out nicely upon application of the second coat. These polishes dry quickly to a satiny finish, not shiny, not quite matte. Very attractive for the office or when you need to be classy yet in fashion. Although these are a bit on the thick side, they self leveled very nicely. Let’s take a look!
Zoya Naturel Satins Transitional Long-Wearing Satin Finish Nudes for 2015. From top center then clockwise: Rowan, Brittany, Leah, Ana, Sage, Tove.
The new Zoya Naturel Satin* formula provides opaque coverage and wears much longer than traditional matte shades. Plus, the forgiving smooth finish hides imperfections!
First up is Leah. I was immediately impressed with how nice this shade complimented my pale winter skin tone. I think this will look great on any skin tone as well.
Leah is described by Zoya as “a lavender tinged taupe cream in the exclusive Satin* finish.” I used two coats. Color Family – Nude Finish – Satin Intensity – 5 ( 1 = Sheer – 5 = Opaque ) Tone – Cool
Rowan was the surprise shade in the bunch in my view. I was unsure if I’d like a suede taupe on my skin, but it was one of my favorites.
Rowan is described by Zoya as “a suede taupe cream in the exclusive Satin* finish.” I used two coats. Color Family – Nude Finish – Satin Intensity – 5 ( 1 = Sheer – 5 = Opaque ) Tone – Cool
Sage is one of those earthy soft shades I love.
Sage is described by Zoya “as a mossy sage green cream in the exclusive Satin* finish.” I used two coats. Color Family – Green Finish – Satin Intensity – 5 ( 1 = Sheer – 5 = Opaque ) Tone – Cool
Tove is the essential grey. Since greys seem to be the fashion statement color this season, I’m glad they included this one in the collection.
Tove is described by Zoya as “a misty slate grey cream in the exclusive Satin* finish.” I used two coats. Color Family – Blue Finish – Satin Intensity – 5 ( 1 = Sheer – 5 = Opaque ) Tone – Cool
Next we have Brittany. It’s a fabulous rose mauve. Sort of old school, but not old fashioned.
Brittany by Zoya can be best described as “a rose mauve cream in the exclusive Satin* finish.” I used two coats. Color Family – Pink Finish – Satin Intensity – 5 ( 1 = Sheer – 5 = Opaque ) Tone – Cool
And last we have delicate Ana. My fave pink of the collection.
Ana is described by Zoya as “a light toasted almond cream in the exclusive Satin* finish.” I used two coats. Color Family – Nude Finish – Satin Intensity – 5 ( 1 = Sheer – 5 = Opaque ) Tone – Cool
Overall I am extremely impressed with this collection. Leave it to Zoya to continually think outside the box. The formulas were all buttery smooth, very opaque, quick drying, self leveling and the shades are perfect. I had no trouble at all in application and as always, the brushes are perfection. I highly recommend every one of these! Come back a little later…as I bring you the Zoya Delight Spring collection for 2015 馃檪
*The Satin formula is a hybrid between matte and glossy polishes and is not intended to be worn with a top coat. For best results: Prep nail with Zoya Remove Plus Nail Polish Remover, apply base coat and finish with 2 thin coats of any Satin polish.
They can be ordered now from Zoya.com for $9ea or for the whole collection for $54.
By now you may have started noticing swatches and reviews of the newest darlings on the 2015 Zoya train…those fab new Naturel Satin collection (available now) and the delightfully spunky spring line, the Delight collection (Available to order NOW!). And as always, Zoya continues to think “outside the box” when it comes to new finishes and shades.
As we speak, my swatching samplers of the six Naturel Satins and the six springy Delight collecion have appeared at my post office. Since I’m out of town, there they shall stay for another week all snuggled up with a plethora of other nail mail until I return! I can’t wait to get these on my nails 馃檪 But I just wanted to keep you updated in case you thought I was skipping, TOTALLY NOT! LOL Just weird timing that they would show up while I’m in sunny Texas. Please be sure and become a follower of mine. That way you’ll be notified by email when I’ve posted my review and swatches, thanks!
