Zoya: Arizona


Hello beautiful people! Thanks for stopping by and reading the blog today! I hope you're all having a nice week. Today I have a color to show you from Zoya's Beach collection.  This is Arizona which is an orange sherbert creme polish.  This is a pretty hot color for this year and I dig it.  It's bright and fun, it borders on neon on me but it looks cool! 

The formula of this one is okay, but not the best. It's super pigmented which made it really thick and a little tough to apply.  The end result was fine, no issues with balding or anything, just took some care to put on. I used two coats for the opacity shown in the photos. 




Have you tried this one? What do you think?

You can purchase Zoya online.  They have a new program called share the love, where you can earn points for referring friends.  This is my referral link. You do not have to use it if you do not want to. I do not want to pressure anyone to use it.  I have reviewed many Zoya products and love most of them so I am comfortable recommending them.  I just want to be upfront that that is a share the love link, no hiding the ball here on my blog!

Note on comments: I still don't know what to do with my comments. You cannot see the link to comment under the posts. I only see it when I click on each individual post.  If you're on the main page and search comments with Ctrl+F then you can find it, it's like it's off to the side of the post, I don't get it. Any suggestions?

Easter Nails


Hi everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend. I wanted to share my take on Easter nails with you. I am not too great at nail art but I tried.  One thing I wish was that the whiskers came out better but I was impatient and didn't wait for the white to dry! Doh!!!

I used the following colors:
Blue = Nicole by OPI: "Baby" Blue
Pink= China Glaze: Something Sweet
Yellow= China Glaze: Lemon Fizz
Green= China Glaze: Re-Fresh Mint
Purple= China Glaze: Light As Air
White= China Glaze: Snow
Black= Milani: Black Magic





  

What do you think?

Any fun plans for Easter? Let me know what your Easter traditions are! I am excited to hear!

Nicole by OPI: Kim Konfidential & Here Kim's the Sun

Good morning everyone! Can it really be April already? My birthday is the 27th, so like I have done in the past, be on the lookout for a birthday giveaway! I have been compiling polishes for ages now, so I can't wait to show you what I have up my sleeve for the winner. Stay tuned!

Today I have two Nicole by OPI polishes to show you, these are Kardashian polishes. The first is Kim Konfidential and it's a honey nude color. When I think of Kim Kardashian I think of nude lipstick, so this nude polish seems like something she actually would wear.  I actually like the color, it's really wearable nude for me. I thought I wouldn't like it because of the yellow tones but it works. I always seem to think that when I see a yellow toned nude, but they always work, so I need to get out of that mindset!

I used two coats for opacity and they went on smooth. I was surprised at how opaque this one was.







Next up I have Here Kim's the Sun which is a glittery top coat.  This has nothing to do with the polish but why is there and apostrophe in the name? She's not possessing anything... it's supposed to be like "comes" that's just annoying.

This is a really pretty glitter top coat, really too sheer to wear on its own, though you can see it has a sort of tint, but honestly the base might as well be clear. I used two coats on top of  Kim Konfidential.

 









What do you think of these?

How was everyone's weekend? Did you do anything fun and exciting?I had a nice weekend. I took my mom to afternoon tea at this local tea room which was so cute! Then we went shopping. Saturday night my husband and  I went to visit my nephew and brother-in-law and sister-in-law for dinner. Then yesterday I went with my hubby for sushi and then  to see Wrath of the Titans which was ok.

Oh, by the way, the poll results are in and 18 of you wanted to see more detailed reviews of the OPI ballet collection, 11 said no, so lookout for those reviews soon! Thank you all for voting.
