Zoya - Aurora

Hello everyone!

So sorry that I kind of went on a hiatus the past couple of weeks! Life happens I guess, and hopefully I can be back on track for the month of March!

Today I decided to finally wear Zoya Aurora. Let me just say, I have had this polish for almost a year, and I have never worn it. What a mistake! This polish is absolutely stunning! Application is super smooth and the polish is super shiny!

Just look at that holo! This polish is a little more sheer than I though it would be. Shown is three thin coats. I am constantly staring at my nails! Aurora can be super fun but also sophisticated.

I am so glad to finally be blogging again! I might need some inspiration though, so if you have any suggestions, let me know below! Thank you for stopping by!

XOXO

12 Days of Christmas Nail Art Challenge! - Day 1

Hello everyone!!

So today I have something exciting to share with you all! I have been wanting to do all kinds of holiday nail art, so to tackle that I thought I would try a challenge! I was looking through some December/Christmas challenges, and I couldn't find one that I really just loved. So, I decided to make my own!! I thought it would be cool to make/have a challenge for myself!

If you couldn't tell by the title, I decided to go with a "12 Days of Christmas" challenge! This has twelve themes that will be done on the days leading up to Christmas! Here's what I came up with!

I think its pretty cute! I think that this can be done! I'm going to post this picture on my Instagram too! Anyone and everyone can do it! I say the more the merrier! If you do it, be sure to tag your picture/post with #12DOCchallenge 

Instead of having two posts, I decided to just go ahead and do day one! Day 1's challenge is red. I decided to go with something simple and use Zoya China. This is one of Zoya's pixie dust polishes! I absolutely love this red and the glitter inside it!

Why is this so beautiful?!?! I think it is safe to say that I just love all Zoya polishes!! This is two coats no top coat. 

Thank you all so much for visiting my blog! I hope you join me for this challenge! Please help spread the word! 

XOXO

It has been a long time, but I'm back!

Today I have a Thanksgiving manicure for you all!! I really wanted to get a head start on the holiday manis! I had an image in my head and it transferred nicely onto my nails!! Success!

I have ever really been one to do holiday nails, but hey there is always room for change! I used plenty of polishes, so lets jump into it!

Pinkie and thumb- Zoya Tomoko
Index and middle- Zoya Louise
Turkey- Revlon Revlon Red
             Sally Hansen Mellow Yellow and Sun Kissed
             OPI Alpine Snow
             Wet N' Wild Black Creme

I can't wait to keep working on more themed manicures! Thank you so much for sticking with me, even when nails go on the back burner for a little while! It means a lot to me!!

Gold and Teal!

Hey everyone!!

Today I have a really simple mani to show you guys! Although it is simple, I really love the color combination!!

For the blue, I used 3 thin coats of Color Club Blue-Ming. Then I free handed the hearts with Zoya Tomoko, which is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!

I think these two colors make a fabulous combination!! What do you think of this mani? Thanks for stopping by!

Camouflage Nails!

Hey everyone!!

I have decided to do the September Nail Art Challenge made by +CaliforNAILS (@californails) on Instagram! It is a nail art challenge that is do-able with a prompt every two or three days! I know that I am already one day late >.< but I really am going to try to keep up with this challenge!! The first prompt/theme is camo! I have never tried camo nails so I was excited to give it a shot!

These are so easy to do!! The only "tool" I used was a dotting tool! I used Louise, Hunter, and Flynn by Zoya and the black is Black Creme by Wet n' Wild.

I am so excited to do this challenge!! I really hope that I can keep up with it! I think I should be able to even though I'm already off to a late start! :P Would you be brave enough to rock a camo mani? Thanks for stopping by!!

Gummy Green

Hey everyone!!

I feel so out of the loop! I haven't blogged in i think over a week!! I miss it! Like I mentioned in previous posts, I have had some computer issues. It ultimately came down to getting a new computer. With that being said, I have been computer-less for a little while! But I am back now and so ready to get back into blogging! Today I have this really cool mix and match mani to show you all! This was completely inspired by @mrslochness on Instagram, who I absolutely love!

I absolutely love the way these colors look together! For the pointer and middle finger I used Hard Candy Gummy Green. Then for the thumb and the ringer finger I used Zoya Pixie Dust in Dahlia. And lastly for the pinkie, I used OPI Gargantuan Green Grape.

Zoya Dahlia is the first Pixie Dust that I have tried and I absolutely love it!! It is so easy to apply!

Thanks for stopping by!

Try It On Tuesday! Zoya Wednesday and Zuza

Hey everybody!

Today I have something new that I am going to start doing on the blog! Gini from Sassy Paints came up with something genius called Try It On Tuesday, which I will be participating in! TIOT is where every tuesday, you can post a polish (or two) that you haven't used yet! Then you can email her and she will post your manicure, along with everyone else who participated, on her Facebook as a collective album! I really love this idea because I have a lot of polishes that I would love to try out, but never end up reaching for!

For today's TIOT, I have two polishes from Zoya!! First up we have Wednesday, which is just an absolutely gorgeous color!! This polish went on flawlessly in 2 coats! Shown is without top coat, and it is still sooo shiny!

Next up I have Zoya Zuza! This is also another perfect and gorgeous color! I just layered one coat over Wednesday and it looks awesome! I can't stop starring! It reminds me of a mermaid!

I absolutely love both of these Zoya polishes! What do you think of these two?

Thanks for stopping by!
