'Ello Lovelies!!

As you all know my love for Zoya seems to know no bounds, and their Pixie Dust polishes are no exception.  I have to be honest and say I've only tried two different shades, for some reason the brighter colors just didn't suck me in as much as the gold/champagne shades.

I bring you Tomoko.

Oh sparkely, glittery goodness!  I. Can't. Even.  This polish makes me so happy, it's like diamonds for your nails!  This is a texture polish,which at first I wasn't sure I'd be a fan of. But this one is UH-MAZING!  It goes on so flawlessly, this is two easy coats.  If you've not tried any of the pixie dust polishes then you should know that you shouldn't wear a base or top coat with it.  I've seen some pics of the pixie dust polishes with a top coat and they still look pretty, but I think they lose a little summin' summin'. 

I think this color will be lovely for the holidays!  Also the wear on these is incredible!  I usually get a good ten days with this pixie dust polishes.  I plan on using this before I leave for London at Christmas as I know it will last me a while and will add some sparkle to my travels!

The ONLY downside is it seems to slowly lose a little of it's pizzazz with every lotion or cuticle cream application I do.  I'm not sure why, but it's just what I've noticed.

What do you guys think?  Have you hopped on the texture polish train yet?  I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions on any you recommend!

Also as I mentioned above I am going to be going to London for the holidays to see my in-laws and will be doing some shopping!! So stay tuned to some posts about different brands that are UK brands nail polish and make-up.  I will also be active on Instagram and Twitter posting pics of my travels so make sure to follow me and join me on our adventure!

Hello Dearies!!

I have to be honest that the new Zoya fall collection Cashmeres and Satins didn't really put me over the moon.  I ordered a couple of colors that are nice, but not killing me if you know what I mean.  Then in my Ipsy glam bag this month, I got Mason.  If you're not familiar with Ipsy it is a monthly subscription service and you get 4-6 beauty items, many of them full size.  I have to say overall I've been happy with my ipsy glam bag's, I like them waaaaaay more than Birchbox and it's the same price.  Plus with Ipsy you get a cute little make-up bag every month!

So one of the items in my glam bag this month was the Zoya Mason from the fall collection.  O M G this polish......I can't even.  On the website I think Mason looks more like a hot pink metallic, in fact this is the description from Zoya's website "Zoya Nail Polish in Mason can be best described as an exciting red violet or "Fandango Pink" metallic."  What do you think?

First let me say whatever color they want to call it is fine by me because I'm just going to call it LOVE!  Ugh....do you ever wear a polish that just makes you go....ugh? Like a good ugh!  I think it's a bit more purple-pink, and not only is it metallic but it also has tiny glitters in it.  This picture doesn't do this it's full justice.  It's just so beautiful! I think it is going to be a color I go to alot this winter and it's such a lovely jewel tone!

For those of you who don't know, Zoya is by far my favorite nail polish brand and if you haven't tried it I highly recommend it!  No this isn't sponsored and I don't get Zoya sent to me for reviews, unfortunately.  I buy all of my own polish and this is just the best to work with and they have the most amazing colors!

Do you have a favorite brand?  What will be on your digits this winter and holiday season?

"Ello Loves!

So I had promised that I was back to blogging, and look what happened *sighs*.  I'm really sorry guys, not that anyone probably relies on this blog for anything but I should really try harder.  Had a crazy October which included a totally fun day at the office doing mani-CURES as a fundraiser for breast cancer awareness!

Anyway I'm back today to show you what I did for my Halloween nails.  I was going to do some elaborate nail art and then I saw this post by Chelsea from The Nail Network and I was inspired! For those that don't know, The Nail Network was my first blog crush.  Her swatches and nail art is amazing and I always LOVE to see her pics.

And so I decided to do something a little different, and I loved how these turned out what do you think?

I used butter London Jaffa for my base and then using my smallest brush, I layered up different polishes that I felt were Halloween-ish.  The main colors I used were Zoya Mason (pinkish purple), China Glaze Def Defying (green) and Electrify (glitter), and OPI Lincoln Park After Dark (dark purple).  These were so much fun to wear and work appropriate!  I also think something like this would work for a mardi gras theme, they remind me of feathers a bit. I dunno I'll have to play around with this.

I'll have a post about the Zoya Mason soon, as this color is AMAZING! 

What did you do for your Halloween nails?  Anyone do anything ghostly or ghoulishly?  Let me know in the comments.

Also is there anything you would like to read or see from me?  I have plenty of polishes I can review and swatch, but am open to different types of posts as well :-)
