✯ PR Sample ✯

The Zoya Delight, Spring Collection consists of three cremes, and three shimmers. There's a mix of pastels and brights in this collection. They can be purchased individually or as a set on Zoya.com. I have to say, these colors remind me of marshmallow Easter Peeps for some reason. :-p 

March 17th this blogs turns 7 years old! Though I didn't really start blogging about nail polish until 2011, this little blog started way back on St. Patrick's Day in 2008; more as a lifestyle blog at first.

Warm Sugar Cookies was a limited holiday color from PolishM. The color was so popular, she brought it back to her shop, which made my day since I missed when it was originally available around the holidays.

Warm Sugar Cookies is a nude pink polish with pink & gold micro flakes, and pink & gold micro glitter. I applied two thin coats. The formula is gritty when it dries, you need a thick topcoat so it won't be bumpy. I did two thin coats of Gelous, and then 1 coat of Seche Vite. Isn't it just gorgeous? I love it! 

I decided to do an accent nail with my favorite rose decals from the Born Pretty Store. (You can read the review on the decals, and another PolishM manicure I did here).

The Born Pretty Store recently sent me some more products to review. Today I have one of their new multi chrome chameleon polishes. I was sent color number #217. (I'm not sure why the bottle says 'holo', this is definitely not a holographic polish).


The Born Pretty Store has free worldwide shipping. They are based in Singapore, so it usually takes about 3-4 weeks to receive an order from them. I have ordered from them before, besides receiving items to review, and definitely recommend them for their cheap prices, and cute nail art selections.

I hope everyone has a Happy Valentines Day! I used Zoya Ariana, and Alix for this look. Konad white, and Winstonia Store plate W102, Bundlemonster BM-411.

Today I have some Valentine-esque shades that Painted Sabotage sent me, to share with all of you. Just a heads up, my nails may look a little different, because I transitioned to round nails, this past weekend. Now, I just have to grow out my little round nubs a bit. :-p

Hate Tank: burgandy jelly base, with red glitter, black shreds, and black glitter hearts. This polish dries bumpy, so you need a thick topcoat to smooth everything out. I used two thin coats of Gelous, and 1 coat of Seche Vite. The black heart glitters were plentiful throughout the polish. I did two thin coats, and then placed some extra black hearts before using my topcoat(s).

I decided to do a little stamping with Zoya Tove (press sample), from the new Naturel Satins Collection. I started with two coats of Zoya Tove. After it was dry, I stamped with Konad White, and Born Pretty Store plate BP-24, which I purchased in December. No topcoat. I love how these turned out!

The Naturel Satins Collection is made up of 6 soft neutral shades. The finish is new to Zoya. The Satin finish dries with a soft semi-matte look. They are available for purchase on Zoya.com, individually, or as a set.

I picked up Dance Legend Milky Way a few months ago on eBay. I just love Dance Legend multi chromes, they are are always stunning, and Milky Way is no exception.


Milky Way is a multi chrome polish that changes from blue/purple/pink/green depending on the angle of your hands. It's also got the addition of tiny flakie glitters, that really do make it look like the stars and comets in the galaxy. It's a stunning polish! This is two coats layered over Dance Legend 315 Black, plus Seche Vite topcoat.

Last summer Lavish Layerings did a gorgeous manicure with feather decals from the Born Pretty Store, and I've been dying to recreate it ever since. So, when I placed a large order to the Born Pretty Store in December, I ordered a pack of these feather water decals: #1724.


For these nails, I started with China Glaze, Capacity to See Beyond, (from The Giver's Collection), a gorgeous bright aqua cream. The formula on this is rather thin and runny, it's very easy to flood your cuticles, so be careful. It worked best for me to apply it in 3 thin coats. I did my accent nail with 2 coats of Zoya Tomoko. Perfect gold texture polish.

The water decals are very easy to work with. You cut out the decals you want to use off the sheet. Then fill a bowl or cup with lukewarm water. For me, I hold the decal with my thumb & index finger in the water- you will start to feel the decal slide off onto your finger when it's ready. Then I flip it around and place on my nail. Don't be afraid of ruining the decal, they aren't that delicate- so it's easy to maneuver them. Once the decal is placed on my nail, I dab the excess water off with a napkin or tissue. (I finished one hand, before I started the other).

I wanted to add some gold detail. So with my very thin brush (also from the BPS), I lightly dabbed Zoya Tomoko along the feather line. I topped everything off with Seche Vite topcoat. I love everything about these!

Azature had an amazing sale back in December. They were selling their $25 nail lacquers for $6, but only for 36 hours. I couldn't pass up that deal. I reviewed their summer collection last year, and the creams were absolutely divine. All one coaters.
