Orly-Steel Your Heart

To round things up for the time being, I went with one more shimmer polish, except this one is very much on the dark side of colors, lol. This is another Orly polish, Steel Your Heart. I nabbed this one as I was lacking in a gunmetal grey polish for a while and was hoping this would work in it's place.

I have to say, I really like Orly, the formula was great for a shimmer and the brush makes things very easy to work with. With this being a darker silver-grey, you can get away with a little streakiness in your strokes, but with all Orlys, keep in mind their formula doesn't take much to coat the nail, so go thin. This here is 2 coats.

Zoya-Laney

For today's it's another shimmer shade, this time from Zoya, Laney. This is more along this lines of a traditional silver shimmer, which I absolutely adore as it's very gender-neutral, so I have a tendency to make silver shades my go to shades.

As with yesterday's Square Hue, how you paint your strokes is key. The Zoya brush is slightly harder to work with for me than the Square Hue, so there are a bit more noticeable strokes on my nails. It didn't help that I was in a hurry when swatching this, lol. The formula though is top notch, all nails were at 2 coats. If you're wanting a shade to break into Zoya with, this would be it.

Square Hue-Ginza

Alright, for today, I've swatched Square Hue's Ginza, from their Tokyo Collection. This is a shimmery-blue polish, of which anything shimmery comes with it's own challenges.

To begin with, this was a much easier polish to work with than most shimmers, but that may be due to the Square Hue formula. As I've said before, the brush is pretty small, so for those of you with big nail beds like myself, this might be a bit challenging. Also, this is a shimmer polish, so how you paint with your strokes is critical, no amount of top coat will be able to hide a ton of streakiness, so be advised. This is a great shimmer though, and a perfect summer shade to boot.

Essie-Chinchilly

Hey folks, I'm back once again with another 4 days of polish! For today, I swatched Essie's Chinchilly. I saw this color on Anna Kendrick at the Grammys and needless to say I had to get it as soon as possible myself!

This Essie was probably one of the easiest polishes for me to apply for once. It is a bit on the sheer side, so you will probably need 3 coats to get to where I have it in the picture. It does look awesome though, I'll track down a nice glitter so I can duplicate that French Manicure effect Anna wore. Chinchilly will go down to me as one of my all-time favorite colors.

Enjoy and Happy Polishing Peeps!
