CND® Craft Culture

What better way to start the first of fall than with an amazingly gorgeous fall collection that you just CAN NOT miss out on!
Today I have CND® Craft Culture collection for fall/winter 2016. There are 8 Vinylux® colors, 6 CND® Shellac® colors and 5 additives. 
These colors are spot on for fall this year. I think it's one of the nicest collections I've seen out so far. 
The Vinylux® colors apply amazingly and need NO base coat (one of my fave qualities)! Paired with the special fast dry top coat, these are a dream.
The additives are super cool with tons of different fun textures.
 CND® Shellac® is a professional product to be applied by a professional for you and the health of your nails.

Zoya Urban Grunge

Today I have some much anticipated swatches.... Zoya's fall/winter 2016 collection, Urban Grunge. This collection consists of  6 'one coat' creams and 6 metallic holo polishes! These are nothing short of amazing! As always Zoya hits it out of the park with their new collections. 
 The formula on these are awesome. The 'one coats' truly are just that.... and these holos are incredible. Smooth and non streaky. Love it! 
I have on 2 coats of the holos and 1 coat with the cream polishes. 
Ready for some swatches..............
