Teresa can best be described as a deep purple toned ruby metallic.

Two more stunners, Harlow is one of the original matte velvets, this dries very fast so you cant take time to work it, these polishes were re-released in 2014 with a slightly better formula but not as much sparkle. Harlow has a good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat but I did two because it showed up my ridges, Harlow does stamp but not onto paper.

Teresa is such an interesting colour, its a dusty mauve toned purple with a golden/pink shimmer, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Teresa also stamps.

First swatch pic shows Harlow stamped on Teresa and Harlow with a coat of topcoat to show the sparkle, then a pic of the shimmer in Teresa. The pic of the stamps for Harlow was taken through my Clear Jelly Sramper lol

Marina by Zoya can be best described as a hybrid between a blue and grey, with a dusty metallic finish.

I dont think I'd call this a metallic more a shimmer to me, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I really like this colour, its dusty with silver shimmers so cute. As you can from my label this was purchased from a destash and the previous owner scored out the name with a marker but I managed to get most of it off with careful cleaning.

For my weekend mani I went with Zoya Teresa, a stunning red toned purple with pink shimmer, opaque in two coats, I wore it with topcoat as it dried a tiny bit dull. Gorgeous formula, no running or pooling. Love the tone of this polish, so sophisticated.
