Zoya Naturel Satin 2015 Zoya Delight 2015

Last month Zoya’s social media team recommended me to be a part of their sampling program. When I got the email, I was beyond excited. I was jumping around screaming from the excitement. For two weeks I couldn’t stop talking about it and then I finally received the first collection in the mail. They sent me the Zoya Naturel Satin collection and shortly after, I received the Zoya Delight collection. Once I got the packages I started swatching immediately.

Zoya Matte Velvet

Zoya has brought back their popular Matte Velvet line! As soon as they were released, I called Ulta to make sure it was in stock and bought 3 of the 6 colors. I'm hoping for a sale or promotion so I can order the rest from this collection. 
The Zoya matte velvet nail polishes are not meant to be long lasting like regular nail polish. You'll get tip wear and chipping much quicker than usual.

Cyprus Dreams

Let's start September with a gorgeous green for Fall. As much as I love bright colors for the Summer, my true love lies in dark colors for the colder weather.

Back To School Plaid

About a month ago I was chosen to be one of the few brand reps for Poppy nail polish. Poppy is an indie nail polish company dedicated to the color and health of your nails and is run by mompreneur, Tiffany Barry. Poppy nail polishes are all 5-free (meaning they do not contain dibutyl phthalate (DBP), toluene, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, or camphor), cruelty-free, and they're vegan!

Loreal Neons : Fluo Azur

Blue is one of those colors that can do no wrong in my eyes. I love all blues. Today we have Fluo Azur from the Loreal neons I bought recently.

Loreal Neons : Acid Watermelon

Here it is - Acid Watermelon. I was most excited for this color because so many people raved about how gorgeous it is.

Loreal Neons : Punchy Lychee

The Rite Aid near me finally stocked up on Loreal Neons. I picked up 4 of the 6 colors: Acid Watermelon, Punchy Lychee, Fluo Azur, and Flashing Lilac. The 2 colors I didn't get were: Banana Pop and Energetic Tangerine.

New O.P.I and new MoYou London! Woo Hoo! 

This blue!

Aruba Blue

Essie Aruba Blue is one of my all time favorite blue nail polishes. It is a stunning sapphire blue that looks amazing on anyone. It applies nicely and is opaque after 2 coats. I love Aruba Blue when it's glossy but I get crazy over it when it's matte.

Don't Bossa Nova Me Around because I Don't Give A Rotterdam

I did a simple floral mani tonight because I wanted to use my 2 new O.P.I nail polishes. 

Zoya Charisma & Mosheen

Here is Zoya Charisma and Zoya Mosheen. Gorgeous, isn't it?

Cupcake

My sister brought back some Kiko nail polish from her stay in Europe. 2 of them were from their cupcake collection. So of course, I have to use them for cupcake nails! 

Kiko Cupcake : #655

Blue & Gold Leopard

I haven't done a leopard print nail since November! I had big plans for this mani. I was going to do chevron nail vinyls and nail stamping but instead, I decided to keep it simple.   

Essie : Butler Please

Neon Orange & Lavender

A wonderful friend gifted me 3 new Essie nail polishes today. 2 of them are from the 2014 neon collection. I used 1 of the neons and a lovely lavender she gave me.

Red, Gold, and Blue

In my attempt to create nautical nails, I created 4th of July nails instead. So, this is kind of a fail. 

Zoya : Dream

Sakura

Want to know what happens when I try to freehand sakuras. I end up making a mess on my nails, so instead, I stamped my sakuras.

Saucy Jack

I kept it simple today with Butter London Saucy Jack.

Bossy Boots & Cheeky Chops

More Butter London nail polish! Ulta had a sale on Butter London for 1 day only: 2 for $15. I bought 8 of them. 

Knees Up

I've been doing a lot of cute florals lately but it's time do something sexier.

First, let's talk about this gorgeous red. It is Butter London's Knees Up. The color is a sexy metallic red that reminds me a lot of Christmas foil wrapping. The formula is awesome. You could definitely get away with 1 coat. It glides on very nicely.

Cover Girl Outlast Timeless Rubies

I have been wanting to matte my nails for the longest time but couldn't figure out how to work it into my nail art. 

Today I did a quick paint job and wasn't a big fan of how this color looked on me. So I thought to myself, hey! I could matte it! Matte top coat looks so incredible over glitters, metallics, and foils.  

Here's an older post of how it looks shiny. Timeless Rubies is a dark pink color with bronze and pink glitter. The color is somewhere between bronze raspberry.

This is 2 coats of Cover Girl Outlast Timeless Rubies and Nicole O.P.I Matte Top Coat.
