Zoya Yasmeen and OPI Minnie Style

Hey guys!

Gah! I have been quite the bad blogger these past few weeks. :/ Even though school started, I've been keeping summer alive with a lot of outdoor after-school activities, so I haven't had much time to sit at my laptop and blog. But I'm going to start picking back up again, especially since I now have a lot of pictures of NOTD's that I've been wearing. I haven't done much in the way of nail art lately, but hopefully swatches of some lovely polishes will suffice. =)

Anyways, today I have my new favorite purple to show you! Can't believe it's taken me so long to get this beauty, especially since I've seen so many beautiful swatches and since purple is one of my favorite polish colors. Yasmeen is a deep jewel-toned purple with gold shimmer that really warms up the polish and brings out some red. In some lights, the edges look blackened, which I loved. This polish is so beautiful, vibrant, and dynamic in every light. It's truly gorgeous. And the formula was amazing, which is what I've come to expect from Zoya. It was almost opaque at one coat, but I used two to get it completely opaque. And it dried fast and was really shiny all on its own.


The edges <3
Then I decided I wanted to try out a glitter from my untrieds, OPI Minnie Style. Minnie Style consists of red and white hex glitters in a clear base. I loved how these two polishes paired together! The red in the glitter really looks nice with the purple. I used one coat of Minnie Style to get the glitter payoff that you see below.  



Have you guys tried either of these polishes? Are you as in love with Yasmeen as I am?? Thanks so much for stopping by!

    Yasneen looks amazing! The glitter looks great on top too :) I've been a bad blogger too, so I'm planning to take some swatch pictures asap to always at least have something to post even when I'm busy.
