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 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 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 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.

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.

Born Pretty Store Stamping Plate Review

*Stamping plate sent for review*

Hey all!  I have a review of a stamping plate from Born Pretty Store.  This is a cute plate with mostly owls with some other random birds.  I picked four images from the plate to stamp for you.  This is probably the easiest time I've had yet with a plate from Born Pretty Store.  The images lifted right up and stamped easily.

Born Pretty Store Water Decals

*Decals were sent for review*



Hello!  I have a quick review of some water decals from Born Pretty Store.  These decals have a tropical theme.  I adore the larger flowers because they are opaque and aren't picking up the underneath color.  I added the two little flowers on my ring finger thinking they'd be the same but they weren't so they're harder to see.  These decals are super easy to use.  You know me, I love easy, quick nail art.

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.

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!

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.

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.
