Petrichor Beauty - reviews, style and overthinking

I recently wear a lot of nude nail polishes. I’m on some kind of break of strong winter colors and slowly preparing for bolder spring/summer shades. To be honest, nude polishes can be boring sometimes. I sometimes give them some life with glittery top coat. But when softer shade already contains shimmer, can be just perfect. This is one of those. I saw Godiva when it first came out in 2013, but never had a chance to buy it. For its substitution I managed to get extra glittery, also pixie dust ¨Bar¨, but it wasn’t really that wearable. A few weeks ago I spot it on Ebay for reasonable price and immediately bought it. I must say I’m very happy with my purchase. It is a bit different from other pixie dust polishes I own. It is ˝softer˝ and doesn’t catch on my clothes (pantyhose approved). I find it also easier to remove and less stinky when applying and drying, which is a big plus. Let’s go to basics. Godiva comes from Zoya and is in pixie dust formula, which means that i...

It's my favorite season, great for wearing deep nail colors and bolder fragrances, but sometimes you just need a little ˝color break˝ and use something light and universal. I’m talking about my nude nail color, which is not that typical, nude actually. Her name is Beth. She is elegant, sophisticated, but never boring. Beth is from new Zoya’s collection for autumn, called Sophisticated. I would describe it as golden beige frosted color. I was afraid it would have that metallic effect, but it doesn’t. Some said that it’s streaky, but to me it doesn’t seem like. And I’m not a professional nail painter and can be very clumsy. Beth is safe choice for every occasion. It is ˝special˝ enough to be on your nails during holiday season. The formula is quite long lasting and I have a feeling that it doesn’t stink as much as my other polishes while application. Maybe it’s because Zoya belongs to safer, healthier nail polish brands. I usually hate frosted colors, but this is a bright e...

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...
