Nail polishes for Autumn part 2

Here's the second part of my selection of nail polish colors for fall. Previous post was dedicated just to OPI, this one we'll filled up with two other brands. Zoya is my second favorite nail polish. I love it, because it's less toxic and has a great selection of colors. I adore their texture polishes, named PixieDust, but they are horrible to remove. Well, nothing is perfect I guess.Their brushes are quite ok, but on forums I read that their formula can sometimes be too thick and hard to dry. I haven't experienced that yet, but if I do, I'll let you know. Enough of chatting, let's get to business.

My selection from Zoya is from their Naturel deux collection from 2014. They both have cream formula and supposed to be a bit on the thicker side. I must admit that this turns me off a bit. It would be a shame to spent around 10-12€ on a bad polish. But how will I know if it's bad if I don't try and the colors are gorgeous.

Marnie

I would describe this as deep, dusty plum. Looks so elegant and chic. It can look a bit brown on some pictures, don't you think? Beautiful ˝me˝ color.

Aubrey

This is dark, dusty, warm toned pink. I usually pick cool toned colors, so this is a bit out of my zone. Actually all of presented colors are in some way.

And between these two? What do you think? Darker or a bit lighter, some would say transitional color. I'm kinf of more for Aubrey, because it is a bit dark, but not too dark. If you know what I mean. It is not as strict as Marnie (gosh I love this name).

Angora Cardy

And for the end I chose apparently the most photographed nail polish on Instagram, but with bad reviews - ladies, it's Essie's Angora Cardy. I must admit, it look great, but I don't really like Essie that much. Their polishes can be super streaky and the brush is just terrible, so I'll skip to buy it. I would describe Angora Cardy as medium toned warm mauve. It looks brownish in some pictures, but still very beautiful. I'm not 100% sure, but I read that this color came up in fall 2009. And I noticed this just last week... Some say, that the actual color is different then in the bottle, much more brown. Oh I forget to mention, it has cream formula.

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
