Jior Couture SWL:Sweet Collection Swatch & Review

Hello!

I have a swatch and review of Jior Couture's SWL: Sweet fall Collection which releases today September 15! This collection is split in two parts Sweet and Bitter. I have the Sweet part to show you guys.

Jior Couture Forgiveness

Forgiveness is a beautiful caramel brown with subtle scattered holo. Swatch shows two smooth coats plus top coat. Could easily be a one coater!

Forgiveness Macro

Jior Couture Resurrection

 Resurrection is a holo/multichrome polish. This is stunning! It's so sparkly and you can really see the shift in colors. Fully opaque in two coats.

Resurrection Macro

Jior Couture Awakened

 Awakened is a multichrome plish that shifts from a brown orange to purple and you can see some hints of green too. Swatch shows two coats plus top coat.

Awakened Macro

Jior Couture Redemption

 Redemption is teal/navy duochrome with golden shimmer. Swatch shows two coats plus top coat.

Redemption Macro

Jior Couture Reformation

Reformation is a blue jelly polish with multichrome flakies throughout. It's so squishy looking! Swatch shows three coats plus topcoat. It's a jelly polish so you will have visible nail line. You can layer it over a similar color if you prefer though.

Reformation Macro

Jior Couture Hope over Awakened

 Hope is a microglitter/multichrome topper. It's meant to be worn over darker colors. Here I tried one coat over Awakened. I love how it looks.

Jior Couture Hope over Orly Plum Noir

 Hope over Orly Plum Noir a dark berry purple. You can see the green to blue shift.

Hope Over Orly Plum Noir Macro

Overall I think this is a great collection. I didn't have any issues with any of the formulas and I love the colors! I bet some of these would look great matte! Which ones did you like best? My favorites from this collection would have to be Resurrection and Forgiveness. I will be using some of these in some nail art soon so be on the lookout. This was my first time working with Jior Couture and I had a great experience.

The Jior Couture SWL:Sweet and Bitter fall collection is avalaible now at jiorcouture.com

Zoya Nail Polish Urban Grunge: Metallics & Holos Review

Hola!

I have the second part of the Zoya Fall 2016 Urban Grunge Collection. This part consists of 3 holos and 3 metallics. You can see my review of the one coat creames here.

Zoya Nail Polish Urban Grunge Fall 2016 Collection

Zoya Alicia

Zoya Alicia macro

 Zoya Alicia is described as a linear holo with a touch of gold. It's gorgeous! My swatch shows three coats plus top coat.

Zoya Finley

Zoya Finley macro

Zoya Finley is described as a deep royal purple scattered holo. This one stunning! My swatch shows two smooth coats plus top coat.

Zoya Merida

Zoya Merida macro

 Zoya Merida is described as a brilliant lush evergreen scattered holo. Another stunner! My swatch shows two coats plus top coat.

Zoya Britta

Zoya Britta macro

 Zoya Britta is described as a berry metallic with a red and purple fuchsia flash. My swatch two coats plus top coat.

Zoya Ash

Zoya Ash macro

 Zoya Ash is described as a vibrant cherry with a red and gold metallic shimmer. I felt like the gold shimmer didn't quite translate on the nail. You can see it a bit on the macro photo. My swatch shows two coats plus top coat.

Zoya Troy

Zoya Troy macro

 Zoya Troy is described as a liquid pewter with a foil finish and an edgy touch of black and gold. I felt very meh about this one honestly. You can see the gold shimmer more on the bottle than on the nail. My swatch shows two coats plus top coat. I almost had it opaque in one coat though.


Overall I did enjoy this part of the collection. I was very excited about the scattered holos, they're gorgeous! Formulas on all these are nice and smooth. I have not tested if these stamp or not but I'm sure most do. I did do a watermarble with the holos though as you can see below. I think they watermarbled nicely. Almost forgot to mention, I did the watermarble over two coats of Alicia.

Let me know which ones are your favorites. I would love to know what you guys think of this whole collection.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great weekend!

Zoya Nail Polish Urban Grunge Fall Collection 2016: Creams Swatch & Review

Zoya just released their Fall 2016 Collection.Urban Grunge, which consists of six creams and six mettalics and holos! I finally got around to swatching the six creams! I'm actually very happy how these swatches turned out!

Zoya Nail Polish Urban Grunge Creams 2016

Mallory ZP853

Mallory is described as a full bodied, vibrant prussian blue with a deeply saturated color. I did two thin coats plus top coat for my swatch to avoid flooding and staining my cuticles. 

August ZP854

August is described as a full coverage gray, like a fine expensive leather with a mid-ranged, balanced tone. It's the perfect one coat gray! My swatch shows one carefully applied thick coat plus top coat. 

Wyatt ZP855

Wyatt is described as a true racing green with a deep pigment. My swatch shows two thin coats plus top coat to avoid flooding my cuticles. 

Courtney ZP856

Courtney is described as a deep red beet root shade. I love this color! Again my swatch shows two thin coats plus top coat.

Tara ZP857

Tara is described as a purple plum with a balanced tone between red and purple. Two thin coats plus top coat.

Noah ZP858

Noah is described as a mid-ranged taupe evenly balanced between yellow and grey. My swatch shows one carefully applied thick coat plus top coat.

I did some looks with these polishes to test out their stamping abilities and watermarbling.

Zoya Wyatt

I wanted to see Wyatt matte so I did this sort of ruffian style look.

Zoya August, Mallory, and Matte Velvet

Mallory stamped over August with BP-X03 and topped with Zoya Matte Velvet top coat.

 Tara, Wyatt, and Courtney stamped over Noah with BP-X09.

Wyatt, Noah, and Mallory watermarbled on ring and pinky fingers.

Overall this is a beautiful fall collection. Formulas are very pigmented and when applied carefully they will be one coaters. My habit has always been to do thin coats especially with darker colors.

I hope you enjoyed these swatches. I will be swatching and posting my review of the Metallics & Holos early next week so stay tuned!
