Zoya Posh

I really love suede finish polishes, and Zoya Posh is probably my favorite of the bunch. Behold:

This one has a decidedly different finish than my other suedes from Zoya - more satiny, I guess. Here it is with top coat.

I did something different this time - I used my GOSH fix base coat as a base with this to see if it helped with application, and it totally did. It made Posh just glide on with none of the patching or streaking issues that suedes sometimes have. 

So I did one coat of GOSH fix, one coat of Posh, then one coat of my normal quick dry top coat, Pro-FX, then another coat of Posh. I did that to try and make it not chip so fast. I put it on yesterday, and I already have one corner of one nail that I can tell wants to chip. =\ That's the only thing I don't like about suedes - I wish they lasted as long as regular polish. Sandwiching it with top coat helps me some, but they still chip faster than normal polish.

As far as I can tell from Zoya's site, Posh is now discontinued. It was out of stock for the longest time, but now it doesn't even come up in a search at all. There are still some out there on eBay and I think on Amazon, but if you want this and you've been waiting, I'd get it sooner rather than later.

Happy Saturday, thanks for reading! ♥

Catrice Beam Me Scotty!

I love Catrice, oh yes, I do. =) I'm so lucky that I have a long distance buddy who is able to get these for me. I love the bottle, I love the brush, I love the formula on all that I've tried, and this baby is no exception.

Beam Me Scotty! is part of Catrice's Out of Space limited edition collection. I totally needed it just for the name, but luckily it's also a stunning polish. It's a beautiful forest green with a suede finish. I know it looks grey here, but trust me, it's forest green.

Here it is with shiny top coat, which is how I wore it. This is two coats, but only because I wasn't sure how the wear would be. This was perfection in one coat. I took some shots outside as well to try to get it to show green instead of grey.

These are better, but still not perfect. The Swatchaholic has some great swatches of this collection. I'm sorry I couldn't get mine to be more color accurate. =\

Bottom line - another winner from Catrice!

Happy Wednesday, folks... and thanks for stopping by!
