NOTD: Stars Stampy

As you know I am on vacation visiting family. I have had a few little polish hauls, (picked something up for the next giveaway!) So I needed to work with what I had. I am so mad at my cuticals, the change in location has messed my cuticals up so bad, they are cracked and peeling, I just keep my hand moisturized enough GAH!!!! So sorry for that. This is the creme blue from the OPI Shriek collection, I have it in a mini size and am to lazy to look it up atm, with Konad Special Yellow on a BM stamp with a generic white on the thumbs. I used a flakie on the ring along with a star decal to help it pop.

NOTD: Spring Time

I love spring time. I love Fall more, but Spring is a close second. I was messing around in my polish case, and looking threw my blog roll when this mani came to me. I am very interested in the new Mod Collection from Zoya, but I haven't committed to buy them..yet. I don't really know why I am hesitating, Out side of the color purple as a whole, the three shades of the Mod Collection are some of my favorite shades. I alway say I like my colors to scream the color they are. Any way, I have 2 polishes in my collection that seem to be very close to the pink and the blue from Zoya, so I gave them a whorl. Sally Hansen's Calypso Blue and Back to the Fuchsia. Both from the complete salon line. With a matte cote over them they appear very close to the Zoya, but alas, I don't have them, so I can't really compare. Wow, I am rambling. Any way. I came up with this.

Please forgive my cuticals, I have been swatching like crazy when we have sun. I really want to have some photo's in reserve so to speak to help make blogging a bit easier when I am on vacation. I think this was after 5 or 6 swatches, so they are looking a bit rough. Any way. The pink is Back to the Fuchsia in 2 coats. The blue is Calypso Blue. The green is Irish Green from Sinfull Colors (I posted about it here) The tip patters is a BM plate. A nail art decal flower for a final touch. Tops the entire nail with China Glaze Matte Magic. Hope you enjoy!

Thats all for now,

Peace

Zoya Starla Review

As some of you may remember Zoya had an amazing offer not to long ago for 3 free nail polishes to celebrate the rise in followers on facebook. I am actuallynew to the Zoya brand, and this was a great way for me to try them out with little risk as well as take care of a few minor lemmings. One of the polishes I chose was this funky pink by the name of Starla. I was so suprised by this shade. It was not what I expected at all. It was so much MORE. I must have been blind but I never noticed the micro shimmer in it on the blog swatches or on the web site to order. I started to laugh so hard when i recived these, as I tried to pick colors that were not glittery or shimmery, as that seems to be all I wear, and 2 of the 3 were. Back to Starla, one of the best features of this shade is the fact its sheer enough to layer, I have done some really neat things with blues and greens with this as a layer, but thats another post hmmm. It also builds wonderfull. These photo's are all three coat, but they are thin. It formula was smooth and even. It may be on the thin side or some, but its easy to get used to. I think this had to be the perfect color to really introduce me into the world of Zoya, I know I am going back for more. Starla is a great addtion to anny collection.

Thats all for now,
Peace,
