Halloween Nails

Hey guys!  I have a quickie Halloween nails post for you today.  I started out with Zoya Serenity and then did a 30 second gradient with Salon Perfect Wicked.  I had to run out to pick my son up from the bus stop and had to slap it on super quick.  The pumpkin is a nail vinyl but I can't remember where it's from.  Sorry about that.

I'd love to see your Halloween nails too.  Feel free to drop a photo by my facebook page.

Until next time...

NOTE: MATTEVELVET nail color by Zoya is not intended to be worn with a base coat, glossy top coat or speed dryer.

Zoya Focus

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  I have the other half of Zoya's fall offerings for you today.  I showed you the Flair collection here.  This is the Focus collection.  I'm just going to jump right in.  Most of these had a great formula and were perfect in two coats.

Zoya Janel is a red cream.  Two perfect coats plus top coat were used for photos.

Zoya Lidia is a gorgeous dark purple.  I used two coats and it looked fine inside.  As you can see it's a bit streaky and could have used a third coat.

Zoya Hannah is a brighter red cream.  This has a fantastic formula, again two coats and top coat.

Zoya Sia is an amazing blue cream.  I'm so in love with this one.  Great formula and no staining for me.  Side note, Sia and Hannah are the perfect blue and red to match my son's baseball team.  I will be using these lots for game day nails.  Only one photo because the sun went away on me.

Zoya Sia

Zoya Desiree is a brown cream.  It was almost perfect in one coat.  I used two and top coat for photos.

Zoya Charli looks like a brown cream in the bottle until you set it next to a real brown like Desiree.  Again this is two coats and top coat.

Zoya Flair

*Press Sample*

Hello! I have the Zoya Flair collection to show you today.  This is the metallic half of the Fall 2015 offering.  I hardcore love metallics so I'm super excited for this one.  I'm going to dive right in, starting with Tris.  Zoya describes Tris as a blackened, brushed nickel.  It pulls a little on the brownish side on me.  Either way it's a really cool polish, perfect for fall.  I used two coats and top coat.

Zoya Tris

This is Zoya Aggie.  In the bottle there was a color shift that I just couldn't get to show on the nail.  This is the only polish that needed three coats to be opaque.

Zoya Cinnamon is a gorgeous metallic brown.  I'm not a huge brown fan but this one has a bronze leaning that makes is so pretty.  This is two coats and top coat.

Zoya Giada is my favorite from this half of the fall collections.  This purple is just everything.  So gorgeous and perfect in two coats.

Zoya Ember is just so glow-y.  I love this one too.  This is two coats and top coat.

Overall I'm really enjoying this collection for fall.  Now if we could just get some fall temps here in the desert.  Other than Aggie that was a little sheerer than the others, the formulas were fantastic.  These are available now on zoya.com.  Be sure to like them on facebook to stay up to date on all the latest info.

I will be back soon with the cream half of this collection.  Until next time...

Born Pretty Store Loose Glitter

*Press Sample*

Hello! I have a quickie review today of a loose glitter from Born Pretty Store.  These are fun flower shaped glitters.  They're kind of big so I placed one on each nail.  I was going for springy colors so I started with Zoya Hudson then added the glitter.

You can find these glitters here and be sure to check out bornprettystore.com for all kinds of fun nail art items.  Be sure to use code FEMJ61 to save 10% off regular priced purchases.

Zoya Paradise Sun

*Press Sample*

Hey all!  I meant to post the Zoya Paradise Sun collection last week but I got wrapped up in getting my family ready for vacation and forgot to post.  I just got back from several days at Disneyland and California Adventure and I'm so tired.  This is a great summer collection.  Zoya always does one of my favorites each summer.  No surprise to you guys but I am a summer color lover.

Zoya Isa is a gorgeous blue leaning purple.  This is two coats and top coat.  The formula was awesome.

Zoya Mae is a very pretty pink.  It reminds me a bit of Zoya Gilda which I love so naturally I adore this one too.  This is two coats and top coat.  Again the formula was really good.  

Zoya Mae

Zoya Mae

Zoya Aphrodite is a pretty red in the same finish as Mae.  I used two coats and top coat again but I'm thinking maybe a third coat would have been good.

Zoya Aphrodite

Zoya Selene is my kind of polish for sure.  A gorgeous teal metallic.  This is two coats and top coat but again I wish I would have used three.  It has an easy to control formula with smooth application.

Zoya Selene

Zoya Oceane is a stunning blue metallic.  It was perfect in two coats.  This is another winner for me.  Bet your super surprised huh?

Zoya Genesis is a gorgeous white with a bit of sparkle.  This one needed three coats to even out.  I don't feel like my photos do this one justice.  I adore white polishes so this one will get lots of love from me.

Zoya Genesis

There you have it.  A gorgeous summer collection with the great formula and application we've come to expect from Zoya.  Are you more of a cream polish lover (like the Island Sun collection here) or a sparkle, metallic lover like this collection?  I'm always down for a good metallic polish.  You can pick these up at zoya.com now.  Be sure to like Zoya on facebook to stay up to date.

Zoya Island Fun

*Press Sample*

Hey guys!  I have the Island Fun half of Zoya's summer offerings.  This is a collection of six creams.  They all have really great formulas.  Just like you'd expect from Zoya.  Up first is my new favorite purple cream, Zoya Serenity.  This is two perfect coats and top coat.

Zoya Serenity

Zoya Serenity

Next is Zoya Talia.  Again two coats and top coat was perfect.  Now I need to say that I had some serious staining from this one.  I don't usually have staining problems.  It could be because I wear Nail Envy and then a base coat with every manicure but I had some serious smurf fingers when I took it off.  That said it's gorgeous!

Zoya Talia

This pretty red is Zoya Demetria.  Two perfect coats and top coat again.

Zoya Cecelia is another favorite of mine from this collection.  I'm sure most of you are super shocked by that haha.  Two nice even coats and top coat for photos today.  This one also gave me some serious staining.

Next is Zoya Nana.  I know I sound like a broken record but this is two coats and top coat again.  Just a great formula.  Loved it.

Lastly is Zoya Jace.  Isn't this a gorgeous green?  My bottle arrived slightly open with a gummed up neck so this one was a tad thick.  I just added a little thinner and it was great.

Zoya Jace

All in all this is a great gathering of summer creams.  The formula was excellent on them all.  The only real downside was the staining on two of them.  These are available now on zoya.com.  Be sure to give Zoya a like on facebook to stay up to date on the happenings.

Thanks for stopping by and reading!
