This is a quick post: summer nails! I picked up some pastel minis during a spring promotion from Zoya: 3 mini size bottles delivered for $15. Minis are all I want these days because I own way too much nail polish. Who ever finishes a bottle of polish before it goes thick or separates? The… Continue reading Summer NOTD: Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer, Payne

Zoya Lillian Nail Polish, Perfect Shade for Summer
I love summer, and I love summer colors. Pastels, water colors, floral shades, I love ’em all. A few months ago, Zoya had a sale on minis. Minis are great. I have too many nail polish bottles so minis are much better for me than full size. I can’t remember the last time I used… Continue reading Zoya Lillian Nail Polish, Perfect Shade for Summer

Zoya Paloma Nail Lacquer: A Raspberry Jelly
Zoya had an amazing promotion a few weeks ago that I took advantage of. I ordered four shades one of which was a jelly named Paloma. I had never tried a jelly polish before.

Mineral Fusion Nail Lacquers: 11 New Shades
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my experiences with Mineral Fusion’s fabulous, natural, affordable facial moisturizers, Intense Hydration and Skin-Balancing Moisturizers (review here).

Mineral Fusion has just come out with 11… Continue reading Mineral Fusion Nail Lacquers: 11 New Shades
New Shine Out Loud Collection from butterLONDON & Giveaway!
butterLONDON is one of my very favorite nail polish brands. Their prestige nail lacquer goes on so smoothly that two coats is more than enough. butterLONDON nail lacquers don’t contain formaldehyde, toluene, DBP, phthalates, or parabens. They dry quickly to a beautiful shine. I believe butterLONDON lacquers are cruelty-free and vegan. About a year or so ago,… Continue reading New Shine Out Loud Collection from butterLONDON & Giveaway!

Ombre-ish Mani with Zoya Naturels
I love the Zoya neutral shades. Don’t get me wrong, I love Zoya’s bright colors and Pixie Dusts too, but the Naturels collections really speak to me. I reorganized all my nail polish when I recently bought the triple stacked apothecary storage jar (reviewed here), and the shades that I own from the two Zoya Naturels collections… Continue reading Ombre-ish Mani with Zoya Naturels
NOTD: Starrily Galaxy & Deborah Lippmann It’s Raining Men
I haven’t done a Nail of the Day post in a long time because my manis are so rudimentary compared to the talented nail bloggers I follow. But I reassessed: my role is not primarily to introduce you to new mani designs, but to let you know about nail products worth trying or better avoided.… Continue reading NOTD: Starrily Galaxy & Deborah Lippmann It’s Raining Men

Zoya Blu Nail Polish: Love Those Baby Blues!
As part of my April Zoya polish haul, I chose Blu, a pastel, cool tone, baby blue cream shade. I don’t have all that many blue shades, and the ones I do have tend toward aqua. So this was a departure for me. Because of its cool tone, I think it might… Continue reading Zoya Blu Nail Polish: Love Those Baby Blues!

Zoya Nail Polish, Tinsley: More Rose Gold for Spring
Rose gold has been hot for months. I started seeing it last summer, and it was everywhere this past autumn and winter. Thankfully, it’s still here for spring. Rose gold is my favorite metallic. As I’ve mentioned before, it looks great on redheads. But I think it looks good on everyone because it’s such a… Continue reading Zoya Nail Polish, Tinsley: More Rose Gold for Spring
