OPI: Wooden Shoe Like to Know? (Holland Collection)

Good morning everyone! It's a gorgeous day here in Connecticut. It seems spring is trying hard to make an appearance.  I love a good crisp sunny day. I hope it's lovely where you are. Thanks for checking in with me! 

Today I have a fun color from OPI's Holland Collection to share with you. This is Wooden Shoe Like to Know? and it is one of the most interesting colors I have seen released in a long time.  To my eye it's a purple toned milk chocolate with a golden/bronze microshimmer throughout.  I am digging this one for sure. It's so chic and unexpected.  The name is actually really cute as well.

This is a great color because it's interesting but still conservative enough to wear to work and not have any real issues. Though I tend to wear whatever I please to work I do know that some offices and professions require more muted shades. I think you can get away with this one for sure and still feel like you're doing something fun with your manicure. I tend to wear more conservative colors whenever I have to make a court appearance and I find that this one is fine for that occasion.

I used two coats for full opacity and had no issues with application. The formula was buttery and smooth. There's something about this one that just screams luxury to me. I love it!

So what do you think? Let me know in the comments :-)

Thank you kindly for stopping by and taking the time to read and comment. I am so happy to have so many awesome readers.

Happy Valentine's Day & Nubar Strawberry

Hi everyone! Thank you for hanging in there with me when I took a little time off to deal with the loss of my aunt. I am back and ready to write. Thank you all for your kind comments, they mean so much to me.  I am so glad you all could see how wonderful my aunt was from my post. Her services were exactly how she'd have wanted and well over 600 people came to her wake. She was well loved and leaves a big hole in the hearts of many. he's going to be missed each and every day but life goes on and she wouldn't want me to dwell. 

Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you all were spoiled today. I hope that even though today is a day to spoil your love that you tell them what they mean to you everyday, not just on Valentine's Day. 

Today I want to show you a gorgeous pink jelly/creme from Nubar. This is Strawberry and it is part of Nubar's new spring Jellybeans collection.  This is a really interesting color because the finish falls between a jelly and a creme. I just love it! It's squishy and shiny and just the right shade of pink for me.

I used three coats for full opacity and I just love the results. The formula was excellent, my ideal really. I just love a good jelly style polish that can actually be opaque.

If light pinks tend to give you lobster hands try this one. I think it's blue based enough to keep the red in your skin tone from popping out. If I was going to list my favorite pinks this would be in the top 5 for sure.  

So what say you? Love it or leave it? What's your favorite shade of pink!? And let me know if you did anything romantic for Valentine's Day!

Zoya: Skylar

Hi everyone! Thank you all for the positive vibes you are sending my aunt's way, every bit helps.  I used to contribute to the message boards at CandleFind a alot and whenever someone needed positive vibes they would all "burn blue" for luck, they would burn a blue candle or tart for the person who needed extra thoughts. So today I am going to feature a blue polish for my aunt.

This is Zoya's Skylar which is one of the most beautiful shades of blue nail polish I have seen in a long time. It's a light dusty cornflower blue color with tons of silver and gold shimmers.  It looks speckled! It's absolutely stunning. 

The formula on this was great. Thick but not too difficult to work with and I only needed two coats for full opacity.  I had no issues with balding or streaking. 

What do you think of this beauty? Has it captured your eye the way it did mine?
