I have had this post as a draft for a very long time and today I am finally posting my swatches. I just haven't had the time to edit the pictures and it was taking me forever to upload the pictures. Today I have uploaded all the pictures. Please forgive me for my lack of cropping on the pictures. I didn't crop or edit the pictures in anyway. I don't even have watermarks on them...oh wells
Left to right: Zoya Zara, Zoya Mimi, China glaze Strap On Your Moonboots, China Glaze When Stars Collide, China glaze Heat Index, OPI I Theodora You
First up we have Zoya Zara. It is jelly lavender that has gold shimmer in it. It took 4 coats for me to get full opacity. Even in the pictures you can still see the VNL (visible nail line). It had a very smooth application

Next up are the two china glaze polishes from the hologram collection. I already own most of the china glaze OMG collection so I didn't think I needed the hologram collection. I did get the two colors that I thought were unique, a dark blue and a maroon purple
First is China glaze Strap On Your Moonboots. I used three coats, if you were careful I think you could get away with two coats. I had a bit of dragging when I applied the second coat; therefore I had to use three coats to even out my application.

Number two is China Glaze When Stars Collide. I had the same application issue as I did with China glaze Strap On Your Moonboots. There was some dragging on coat two so I applied a third coat to even out the application.

Next we have Heat index from the China Glaze Sunsational Collection
I got this polish because it is extremely bright and has a JELLY finish!!! I really like jelly polishes but a good jelly polish is hard to find. Just look at the squishie-ness of the polish! I used three coats. I never wear this polish alone, I like to layer it with glitter polish underneath to make a glitter sandwich effect e.g. rainbow glitter (OPI Rainbow Connection) or black and white glitter (lynnderella connect the dots). etc

Lastly we have OPI I Theodora You. I love love love this polish. It is the perfect neutral pink. Very smooth application two coats. After some crazy funky designs/ colors on your nails, you may want a neutral cleanser color for your nails, this is the go to polish. It is very elegant and beautiful
