Zoya Professional Nail Polish, the Perfect Christmas Polish, shade Sarah

Maybe because I haven’t been wearing makeup very often, I’ve been in the mood for nail polish. After I removed Scofflaw Leda and the Swan (reviewed here) (btw, I found the gold flecks – they were underneath the mauve cream! weird), I wanted to apply something with more oomph. Last night, I chose Sarah, a… Continue reading Zoya Professional Nail Polish, the Perfect Christmas Polish, shade Sarah

My Zoya Haul Featuring Joss, A Pretty Pink Neutral

I haven’t bought any nail polish in almost a year. On my bad luck day in June when I got stung by wasps and got my thumb stuck in a folding chair, my thumbnail was damaged. Now almost 7 months later, my nail has recovered in spite of the fact that I recently sliced it… Continue reading My Zoya Haul Featuring Joss, A Pretty Pink Neutral

I know I shouldn’t say anything and jinx it, but so far this winter, my nails look pretty darn good.

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’ve been collecting heart-shaped stuff for years and years. I’ve got quite a collection!

NOTD: Blue Sparkles Mani Inspired by Shanghai Tang Memories

Several years ago, whenever I went to New York, I always visited one of my favorite stores, Shanghai Tang on Madison Avenue.

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

I fell in love with one of Zoya’s new shades, part of the Naturel Collection for Spring 2014, Brigitte, a… Continue reading Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer: Brigitte

Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer in Giovanna: Inspired by Pantone’s Emerald?

Pantone’s color of 2013 is emerald, and I have enjoyed experimenting with this shade more than the colors of previous years (orange, yellow). Just looking in my closet and in my jewelry box, I realized I have a lot of emerald. Since 2013 is marching right along, I’ve been trying to wear emerald more often.… Continue reading Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer in Giovanna: Inspired by Pantone’s Emerald?
