Regina is amazing, I love the almost black base with that super bright green shimmer, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, this was out of stock for ages last year on the Zoya website, so glad it hasnt been discontinued.

Ray is a discontinued polish but can be described as a dark blackened pine green with smooth, delicate silver and green frost shimmer. 

Envy is gorgeous, not sure why they say it has barely perceptible shimmer as they list the finish as cream? and I dont see any shimmer at all in the bottle, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Envy also stamps.

Ray is gorgeous, the shimmer is quite shy though, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Ray does stamp but probably best over a lighter colour.

I did cut down my nails, I have a large pair of nail clippers I use, I dont put the clippers over the nail and cut though, I clip at the nail side then work across, because I had the breaks I couldnt file them down they would have just snapped. As long as the clippers are super sharp and you go from the side of the nail you shouldnt break the nail off.

I really wish that Ivanka was discontinued and Holly was still available.

Holly is simply stunning, a deep emerald green but with a brighter green flash, grat formula no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Holly also stamps.

Ivanka is gorgeous dont get me wrong but if I had to pick one it would be Holly for the one coat coverage, Ivanka has a good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, as you can see Ivanka doesnt really stamp.
