Name - Marjorie
Year - 2015

Number - ZP0822
Coats - 1
Finish - Metallic
Collection - Redbook Trio
Colour - Red
Topcoat - No

Marjorie is a discontinued polish and I would describe her as a plum toned red metallic with golden shimmer.

Chyna is so pretty, I do love the pixie dust finish, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat. This reminds me of the ruby slippers from Wizard of Oz.

Marjorie is a gorgeous plumy red with golden shimmer, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat on my shorties, I suspect I'd need two if my nails were longer.

I thought I'd show you some of my roses, the first pic is of my old English rose Rhapsody in Blue, then the other pics are of my Twice in a Blue Moon with added poppy, my Piccadilly rose is not producing a lot of flowers this year, maybe the harsher cutback this spring didnt suit it as well as Blue Moon who seemed to love it. I am using the single flower shot as my background on my phone. I love the blue/lavender/pink colour. The flower heads on Blue Moon are huge too.

Posh is a discontinued polish but can be described as a medium cool-toned wine red with metallic red shimmer and a velvety Matte Velvet finish.

Two more stunning polishes, Divincia is gorgeous, vampy, super shiny, chic, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, she also stamps nicely.

Posh is stunning, I really like this colour and finish, great formula, no running or pooling, it dries quite fast, she is opaque in one coat and she does stamp but you gotta work fast! I love the frosted bottle and matte cap these bottles have. While the matte velvets were originally released in 2009 they were re-released in 2014 but the formula was slightly different, my Posh is from 2014.

Fallon by Zoya can be best described as a refined pearl, midtone, violet magenta.

These two are so pretty, Ash is so pretty, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Ash stamps very nicely.

Fallon I would say is a red, they have it listed in the pink colour category but to my eye she is a berry red, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Fallon stamps but its quite pale and faint so I'd say a no to stamping unless you're stamping over a pale colour.

This is the last day with my long nails, we turned the bed on Saturday and I broke 2 nails, so the broken nails got fixed but I've cut them right down.

I'm also slowly working on my Easy Neon review and I have the Dreamin collection to do a comparison post for.

Isabel is a discontinued polish by Zoya and can be best described as a rich, Autumnal, medium wine red with flickers of warm copper and gold frosty shimmer.

Isabel is stunning, deep crimson red metallic, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, almost a one coater, Isabel also stamps.
