China Glaze It's Alive is part of the Halloween collection this year. The color is an olive green glitter. It is packed full of olive green flakie, circle and regular glitter in an olive base. The application was wonderful and the above swatches are two coats. I would consider this the must have of the collection. This polish will be available soon at Sally Beauty Supply and is available now at certain e-tailers at a retail price of $5.99.

Skyscraper is a sheer navy blue base with silver shimmer, three coats for opaque coverage. Layer it over a navy polish to use less coats.

China Glaze Metro is part of the Fall 2011 collection. All of the polishes above have a smooth even formula, and the only one that needed three coats was Skyscraper.  Trendsetter, Weekend Warrior, and Concrete Catwalk were all fully opaque in two coats. They are available at Sally Beauty Supply at a retail price of $5.99.

True Blood Week: Shifter Saturday with Zoya Ki

Indoor Lighting: Green and Purple

Indoor Lighting: Silver and Green

Dim Lighting: Silver and Green

Zoya Ki is a "multichrome" polish that shows mainly purple, green and silver/gray. It has a shimmery finish and the swatches are three coats. This color is great to represent the shape shifters on True Blood because of the way this polish seems to magically change.  It is mainly purple in bright lighting. The color changes at every angle, and the green becomes most apparent in dim lighting. Zoya Ki is available a zoya.com. The retail price is $8.00.
