Zoya Posh!

I've never said this but how cute are their little bottles! :D
This is Posh from the 2009 MatteVelvet Fall collection. She is soon to be discontinued. :(
But check out these gorgeous pictures before she's gone! :)
This is just one coat! She's a one coat wonder!
Might be my new go to for fast and out the door.
Here's two coats. Still matte and fabulous.
I was literally swooning over this color mid-application.
And are you ready for this? Top coat! Simply spectacular!
So glossy, red and wonderful.
I use Out the Door top coat by the way. It's one of my faves.
I just can't get over how pretty this is. I can barely keep my composure while typing this. lol
Closer up. I'd do macro shots but I've been taking all this pictures on my iphone. :(
But do you see that shimmer almost pulling pink? It's awesome!
Verdict? I'd say if you're looking for a polish that is great for fall and looking good matte and glossy look no further. I love all the Zoya mattevelvets I have. They apply like no matte I've ever used before. Savita and Veruschka are both wonderful. I may do post on them soon. ;)
Until next time! Stay polished and pretty. :)

Zoya Ki (aka my rainy day go to)

Let me just say I've never talked about how magnificently Zoya nail polish applies. Perfection and this one is no exception. It applies so smoothly.
I usually apply a coat of black to insure opacity. But that's only to preserve my bottle. :)
If you've never seen this color it is a wonderful smokey duochrome. Flashing purple, green and every color in between. WARNING: Picture Heavy. :)

This photo shows it's duochrome-ness well eventhough it's blurry.

This is the most purple picture I caught of it.
This is the most green I could catch it. Beautiful right?!
I love the green side oh so much. :)
Here's the smokey side I was mentioning earlier.
And here are some smokey purple undertones.
Overall I love this polish for fall. All this week it's supposed to be rainy here in Baltimore so I'll be wearing all my fall colors that really shine on days like these.
Until next time my fellow nail bloggers! :)

Zoya Post! Yara tips and Neeka toes.

This is Yara from Zoya's Smoke and Mirrors collection. And it's gorgeousss. I've already put her on twice since I got her a week ago. And that is RARE. lol
But Yara is one of those green colors I gravitate to because I love olives and drab greens.
And do you see those micro gold flakies??? :D


Neeka is definitely a great color to compliment Yara. They have the same types of undertones and flakies. And Neeka is a very pretty umm grape soda purple? I'm not good at describing colors. But she is soooo pretty. :)

Hard Candy Beetle!

I know I'm late to this party but I picked up Hard Candy's Beetle months and months ago...just never wore it! And boy was that a mistake. This color is gorgeous!
It's a duochrome and flashes so many different bronzey colors. I love it.




This picture shows the duochrome-ness best!

Purple Zebra Print. :)

I did this design using Rimmel's Wild Orchid as the base color. This is definitely one of my go to colors as of now. It's my perfect shade of purple. :)
For the zebra stripes I used Color Club's Wild at Heart. I thought a holo design would be great for summer.

The next day I decided to add a coat of China Glaze's Fairy Dust to jazz it up and it got me so many compliments! :D
Just a heads up...I did alot of zebra stripes manis this summer. I can't resist them!

Sorry for the Hiatus!

I know it's been much too long my lovely ladies. But I'm coming back full force. Nail art designs and I have to show you guys my much grown collection. :)) For the next week or so I'll be posting tons of nail looks from the summer so I can catch up. OH! And I'll be doing hair product reviews as well as simple makeup looks. :D I'm excited!
