Last month I told you all about ANNY's launch event here in Israel, and today I want to give you a closer look at a few of ANNY's colors that I got to try along with my impressions of the brand.
Keep reading to see more of the colors I picked and find out what are my thoughts on these colors and the brand.

Among the huge variety of colors that ANNY offers, I picked five colors that seemed to be the most interesting, unique colors that I didn't have in my collection.

736 Big Apple Shopping

A blue and silver holographic glitter mix in a clear base. 

I liked the combination of shapes and color in this one, and the holo sparkle was even more impressive in person.

On the swatch wheel I have one coat of the glitter alone.

465 Never Can Say Goodbye

Gray-silver micro glass flakes with pink shimmer. 

The color appears like in the bottle but was way to sheer to be applied alone. I tried it over a taupe shade and it added a nice shimmer to it. If you wish to apply it on it's own you will probably use way too many coats until you get it opaque, so I would advice applying it over a base color.

I applied three coats on the swatch wheel.

לק שקפקף המכיל מיקרו גליטר בגוונים אפור-כסוף וורוד. בבקבוק הוא מרהיב ביותר ונראה כבעל גימור מטאלי, אבל במציאות התגלה כשקוף מכדי להניח אותו לבדו. ניסיתי מרוח אותו מעל גוון חום אפרפר והוא מעניין והוסיף ניצוץ יפה ללק שתחתיו. אם תרצו להניח אותו לבדו (ללא צבע בסיס) סביר להניח שתיאלצו למרוח הרבה מאוד שכבות.

508 Bath Of Champagne

A light yellow toned vanilla color with a subtle red shimmer.

Such a gorgeous effect! I've never seen anything like it. The formula was on the sheer side (but more opaque then the one above it) and you will probably need three coats to get it opaque.

I plan on layering it over OPI My Vampire Is Buff to maintain it's delicate color and make the beautiful shimmer pop out.

I have three coats on the swatch wheel.

לק בגוון וניל צהבהב (וטעים) עם שימר אדום מהמם! לגמרי בחרתי אותו בגלל שהוא נראה מיוחד ולא ראיתי משהו דומה לו! ללק אפקט מאוד יפה ועדין, אבל גם כאן מדובר בפורמולה דלילה/שקופה למדי (אמנם יותר אטומה מזו שמעליה) איתה תזדקקו לשלוש שכבות ומעלה. מאוד מתחשק לי להניח את הלק הזה מעל גוון דומה לו, למשל OPI My Vampire Is Buff, כדי לשמר את הצבע העדין של הלק ולהקפיץ את השימר היפיפה הזה החוצה.

107 Jogging Date

A stunning red with a gold/red shimmer. This one must be one of the most gorgeous colors I've seen lately. The shimmer is more noticeable in person and it looks fabulous on the nails, giving them such an elegant and sophisticated look.

It's formula was great and very pigmented. This nail polish easily became on of my top red polishes in the collection.

On the swatch wheel I applied two coats.

480 Absolutely Fuchsia

A fuchsia with color shifting micro flakes. 

This one was a bit sheer as well but you can get it fully opaque with a bit of patience.

If you have short nails you might get away with two coats, but if you have longer nails and want it to cover the free edge completely, you will probably need three coats. With the third coat you also get a rich and darker color.

I really loved the finish of this color and it's beautiful shimmer. If only the formula was a bit more pigmented and opaque, this could have been perfect!

On the swatch wheel I have three coats.

גוון פוקסיה סגלגל עם מיקרו פלייקים ורודים המשנים את צבעם. גם כאן מדובר בלק מעט שקוף לטעמי אבל בהחלט ניתן להשיג אטימות טובה עם מעט סבלנות. בעלות הציפורניים הקצרות יותר יוכלו להסתפק בשתי שכבות בלבד, בעוד שאני אישית הייתי זקוקה לשלוש שכבות כדי להסתיר לגמרי את הקו החופשי של הציפורן, וככה גם הגוון נראה עמוק ועשיר יותר לטעמי.

את הגימור של הלק אהבתי מאוד ויש לו נצנוץ יפייפה. אילו הפורמולה היתה מעט אטומה יותר, הוא היה מושלם לדעתי!

955 Super Gloss Gel top coat

Along with the five colors I picked, I was very curious to try the Super Gloss Gel top coat that is supposed to give your nails a high gloss finish, especially after trying a similar product from PUPA and loving it. I was impressed with the super glossy finish of this top coat and I felt like it provided what was promised. 

Unlike Poshe or Seche Vite, ANNY's Super Gloss Gel top isn't a quick dry top coat, thus doesn't dry through the coats and doesn't shrink the nail color underneath. But - it does leave your nails with as glossy and glass-like finish as the two mentioned above.

I did notice some tiny air bubbles when I was using multiple strokes with this top coat, so I would advice using as less brush strokes on application to prevent these bubbles.

Overall I really loved this top coat but you do need to be careful upon application.

After trying some products from ANNY I think this is quality brand that I am definitely happy to have in my collection. Trying the different colors I realize the the formula varies from each color, so next time I will be definitely trying out the testers before deciding which color I will be getting, this way avoiding the sheer formulas in advance.
Overall this is a quality brand with a non toxic, fast-drying & long-lasting formal that doesn't stain the nails even with highly pigmented colors like reds and blues. The pricing is fair and the collections are up to date, with a large color range and great availability in Israel. Can you ask for more?
ANNY nail polish is available for purchase at the Mashbir stores in Israel for 45 ILS (~$13) for a full size bottle (15ml) and the minis (6ml) will be sold for 20 ILS (~$6). Also available at adikastyle.com  and Adi Beauty Studio.
