Quick Zoya Dovima + RBL vote+ Burb Beauty Giveaway

Photobucket
*Zoya Dovima*
(2 coats-Pre cleanup)

Kind of a bad pic, but I wanted to show it because I thought it really captured the shimmer in Dovima! Really pretty matte shimmer...though it is pretty dark. I think I would use Loredana (its more silvery sister) much more. Great option if like me you havent been able to get hands on Manglaze's Matte is Murder.


And, if you havent heard already, the RBL bring back vote is here! I'm totally going for Bikini Bottom! I REALLY hope it gets brought back...so if you dont really care maybe you should go give BB your vote :)

ALSO burb beauty is having a freaking sweet giveaway! Its got Urban Decay (seriously I think they make the best shadows) Nars, China Glaze and I'm forgetting some haha. Benefit maybe? Well anyway I just recently discovered her blog and its a great blog you should check out if you havent! Have a great night guys!

Essie Sew Psyched

Photobucket
*Essie Sew Psyched*
(2 coats)

Gorgeous! Dark sage green, with a very slight shimmer. In the bottle and in the picture the shimmer is much more obvious, most of the time it looked like a creme. I'm so happy I found this polish! I would say a must have for green lovers (though I believe there are some dupes like RBL diddy mow, but that is 2x the price) This picture is after I think 4 days of wear, with no topcoat. The formula was average...but I had a problem where I'd either have waaaaaaay to much polish on the brush, or far to little. But that may have just been me haha

Essie has been really impressing me lately. If I manage to scrap up any extra money I think I'll pick up Smokin' Hot or Merino Cool which both look awesome to me...have a great night everyone!

Zoya Ginger

(2 coats)

My new favorite orange of all time! Application was great like most zoya's and this picture is super accurate which is exciting! Ginger is a citrus-y golden tangerine color, I bet it would look stunning on darker skin tones. Here's a pic that shows how much gold shimmer is in Ginger:

So pretty!

I've been really into Zoya lately and put a bunch on my christmas wishlist...so hopefully more will be added to my stash soon :)

What polishes are on your christmas wishlists? Have a nice night guys !

OPI Ulta Holiday Exclusives for 2010 Bottle Pics!

I saw this when browsing through the latest Ulta circular and thought I'd share!

Photobucket

1.Plum Full of Cheer
2.Gift of Gold
3.All the Berry Best


Okay, LOOK at plum full of cheer...I'm liking the looks of that gold shimmery stuff! :)

These will be sold exclusively at Ulta's for 8.50 each and they also come in a mini pack containing each of the 3 colors plus a mini topcoat for 6.95 which is cheaper than OPI mini packs usually are I think.

Very promising! Can't wait to see swatches of these...What do you guys think?

Zoya Savita + Oh Happy Day!

Photobucket
*Zoya Savita*
(2 coats-matte)

This is a pretty bad picture, pre-clean up, but I love this polish! Being in highschool sometimes it can be really hard to change your mani if it chips or something like that because I dont have time to let my nails dry...this polish fixes that! Like most mattes it dries super quick which is a giant plus in my book. You NEED this polish if your super busy and want to eliminate dry time..trust me haha


OH HAPPY DAY!

What's on my nails right now? Essie Sew Psyched!!! I think I've said before that ordering online is hard for me because I dont have any credit or debit cards...and when my Ulta was sold out hopes of getting this polish were dashed. But today I randomly wandered into this local beauty store while my mom was shopping nextdoor, I turn a corner and

BAM SHACK A LAKA DING DONG OMG I JUST DIED!

A huge wall filled with Essie, OPI, Orly and China Glaze!!!

I'm probably ranting but I'm very excited! I would always be sad when on other blogs people would say they found these HTF/really good sale polishes in their local beauty supply stores because I didnt have one. But now I do haha,

the prices were great also! 5.49 for essie, 6.99 for OPI and I think 3.99 for china glaze & orly. It took so much restraint to walk out with just 1 because I'm trying to save my money right now.

Have an AMAZING night :)

Zoya Zara

Photobucket
*Zoya Zara*
(2 coats)

I can't help but think of Zara from Never Unpolished haha :) I love that blog! But anyway Zara is a lighter purple shade PACKED with gold. Almost like equal parts purple and gold! I would highly recommend adding this shade to your collection if you are a fan of purples, I love it!

I still have so many polishes in my to swatch pile including more Zoya, RBL and Illamasqua Viridian and Scarab.

And in "what?? OPI is doing another collab?" news, I read from Belle Bath and Beyond that we'll be seeing an OPI glee collab! I like glee, but I dont really keep up with it. I'm really interested to see what kind of shades come with it. I actually kind of hope its not more ultra glittery shades (I could see them going that direction) because I'm getting a bit bored with them..(actually more like annoyed at removal lol)

Have a great night guys :)

Zoya Kiki !

Awhile back I hauled a lot of zoyas and I dont think I showed any of them! So the next couple days will most likely be zoyas.
Photobucket
*Zoya Kiki*
(2 coats)

So awesome! Kiki is a VERY bright pink with silver shimmer/glass fleck type things that run throughout it. Kiki freaked out my camera a bit and it kept photographing lighter than it truly is.

Application was great, like I've had with all my Zoya polishes thus far...though I love the brush itself, I wish the handle on them was a bit bigger, because the handles are kind of tiny! Or maybe I just have big hands...hmmm lol
