Happy Holiday Part IV: Holly Green

Zoya Gems and Jewels Collection Holiday 2011:

Zoya Holly

My Holly Grail green polish!! It’s a true emerald green with a metallic look. Fabulous formula, great coverage, two coats to opacity.

Rina, Twila, Kissy over Holly

From pointer to ring finger are: Rina, Twila, and Kissy. I love the Rina-Holly combination the most :).

Rest of the Gems & Jewels Collection (except Noel and Izzy):

Zoya Rina

Rina has tons of green glitter and green, blue bar glitter. It looks like pine needles in a bottle, only more magical looking.

Zoya Twila

I love this shade of blue, a little icy, a little oceanic. Twila has a blue glitter base packed with holo bar glitter that mostly looks blue and green.

Zoya Kissy

Kissy yells ‘happy holiday’ to me! I love this unique glitter- a combination of pink, purple, red, silver glitter and holo bar glitter. Looking at the glitter alone makes me smile :).

Overall, this collection was the only holiday collection that I’ve been expecting this year, and I’m very happy with it. The formula on these is fabulous,too. I love Holly and Kissy the most. The glitter ones can be worn alone, but I prefer wearing them over the matching base colour. A very sparkling collection for the holiday season.

Brief Knickers

You may call them shorts, but they’re much shorter; you may think they belong to the lingerie family, but they’re more outgoing and stylish. Be inspired by the high-waisted brief knickers on spring runways:

Orly Au Champagne

From Orly Holiday Soiree Collection 2011:

Orly Au Champagne

I always want a white polish that is actually wearable, now I’ve found mine :). Au Champagne is an amazing shimmery white. It has this gorgeous matte finish, which makes the polish look like white satin. The formula’s quite nice, too, easy to apply. I used three coats for the pictures. I just love this colour, perfect for the coming holiday season.
