New Zoya Matte Velvet Collection Winter 2015 - PRESS RELEASE

Press Release

Hello! I have some exciting news to share with you today! Zoya is introducing a brand new Matte Velvet Collection for the Winter/Holiday season! I absolutely love the original Matte Velvets and can't wait for these!

PRESS RELEASE: Zoya Nail Polish Exchange

Press Release

Happy Friday! Zoya is obviously "in the know" with what is going on with Mentality Nail Polish (if you haven't heard, please read my post here) and I think this is an amazing way for them to respond. Every April Zoya does a promotion for Earth Day where you can purchase polishes for 50% off, and free shipping, and in return you send in old (or in this case potentially dangerous) polishes for them to dispose of properly. New polish at a great price for you and safe disposal of potentially harmful polishes, win/win!

*Please, if you are one of the victims who has had their nails ruined and experienced burns due to Mentality polishes, do not dispose of these polishes without seeking legal counsel first. You may need these at a later date for evidence.* 

#HealthierIsHappier

Trade in your brands for the smart choice today! Not only was Zoya the pioneer of the BIG3FREE and the BIG5FREE movement, we're technically 8-Free since our formulas have never included ethyl tosylamide, xylene or parabens. As the trusted brand among professionals and women who want cutting edge color with the safest formula available,  we want to give you the opportunity to trade in your unwanted brands for a healthier alternative - especially since many of you are concerned about the current formulas that you are using. Let's make it the standard that #HealthierIsHappier!
 

How The Exchange Works...

1. Add a minimum of 6 bottles of polish (no more than 24 bottles) to your cart. Please Note: Naked Manicure & Zoya Treatments are excluded.
 

2. Apply Code: HAPPY and a 50% credit will be deducted from your exchange order - free shipping included!
 

3. Complete checkout and you're all set! If you need further instructions on sending back your unwanted polish click HERE.

The exchange runs on the honor system, which means you are not obligated to send in your unwanted polish - we assume you're going to do the right thing! If you choose to send back your polishes, please check with your carrier of choice for shipping guidelines and restrictions for nail polish. For full promotion terms & conditions and instructions on how to send in your polish, click HERE.
 

USE CODE: HAPPY
Offer valid 8/28/15 - 9/12/15 (11:59pm EST)

Thanks for reading and happy polishing!

Zoya Island Fun and Paradise Fun - Press Release

Press Release

Who's ready for some fun summer colors from Zoya? I know I am! And these definitely fit the bill!

ZOYA ISLAND FUN & PARADISE SUN

Zoya will be introducing two new collections for Summer 2015, Island Fun and Paradise Sun. 

-----------------------------------

ISLAND FUN (cremes)

Ready for an island vacation, these playful cremes embody a tropical getaway! They are strong in color to balance the brilliance of the summer sun, with a flawless cream formula.

• Jace (ZP796) - Modern tropical green in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula. A green that is more muted than lime and surprisingly wearable!

• Cecilia (ZP797) - Classic teal in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.

• Talia (ZP798) - True turquoise in full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.

• Serenity (ZP799) - Summer purple in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula. Reminiscent of beautiful blooming irises, a harbinger of summer!

• Nana (ZP800) - Deep summer fuchsia in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.

• Demetria (ZP801) - A vibrant poppy red in a full coverage and densely pigmented creme formula.

-----------------------------------------

PARADISE SUN (metallics)

Fully saturated with a gorgeous micronized metallic sheen, these shimmering beauties are much like sunshine sparkling on water. Meant to be used as an independent color, these shades feature a full-coverage, densely pigmented formula.

• Genesis (ZP790) - Crystalline white with a micronized metallic pearl finish. Designed to look like micro-fine diamond dust!

• Selene (ZP791) - True teal with a micronized metallic pearl finish. A unique shade with an aqua fleck that resembles deeper

layers of ocean water.

• Oceane (ZP792) - True turquoise with a micronized metallic pearl finish that reflects the clearest blue ocean waters.

• Isa (ZP793) - Deep blue-based purple with a micronized metallic pearl finish and an aqua flash that embodies the beauty of exotic island flowers.

• Mae (ZP794) - Warm magenta pink with a micronized metallic pearl finish, reminiscent of vibrant Mediterranean flowers.

• Aphrodite (ZP795) - Vibrant summer red with a micronized pearl metallic finish and multi-hued flash that brings it to life.

Aren't they gorgeous? You know I'm excited for the cremes, I'm also excited for both reds! Both collections are gorgeous and look so fun! These will be available on May 5, 2015!

PRESS RELEASE: Zoya Naturel Satin Collection

Press Release

Hello! Long time, no talk! Sorry about the long absence. I will have a post (hopefully) later today talking about where the heck I've been and showing a couple of manis I've done recently. In the meantime, let's look at this new collection coming from Zoya. I am super excited for these!

Zoya Ultra PixieDust Collection for Fall 2014

Press Sample

Happy Thursday! I was sorting through some of my pics earlier and ran across some swatches that I took a couple of months ago. I could have sworn I posted these, but apparently not! I swatched these during the 31 Day Challenge and that is all a blur, so here they are now! The Ultra PixieDusts for Fall 2014.  (I did post a preview of them here if you would like to read more of my thoughts.)

Zoya Ultra PixieDusts for Fall 2014 - Swatch Preview (Skittles)

Press Sample

I received my Zoya Ultra PixieDusts today and I couldn't wait to try them out and share them with you! I will have full swatches soon, but here's a quick skittle pic to tide you over!  They are kind of a cross between the original PixieDusts and the most recent Magical PixieDusts.  They have the finish of the original PixieDusts with added large hex glitters (no holo glitters).

They are, of course, more sparkly in person than in the photo. The bases are deeper and Noir and Arianna are even a bit "jelly-like" - but do not dry smooth, of course. This is 3  thin coats of each and they are completely dry.

I decided I wanted to see them shiny so I added 2 coats of thick top coat (Pure Ice Girl on the Run).

What do you think? I quite like the finish on them, although I prefer them with top coat! I can't handle that texture feeling when I'm wearing them as a full manicure. I am disappointed that Oswin dries so much darker on the nail than it is in the bottle.

These are available for pre-order at Zoya.com!

Zoya polishes are available at zoya.com and at select Ulta locations and retail for $9. The PixieDust line retails for $10 each.  Zoya is also available at Nail Polish Canada! 

Zoya has sales and specials often so make sure  you follow them at the social media links below to stay up-to-date on all the latest! And don't forget they are 5-FREE and Cruelty-Free!

Radiant Rainbow

Nothing to Disclose

Good evening! Day 8 of the 31 Day Challenge features the prompt of "rainbow." I had a few different ideas in mind for this prompt but wanted to challenge myself and work on my freehand lines. I must say, I am very proud of how my lines turned out!

NOTD and a Big HELLO after a long break!

Nothing to Disclose

Happy Wednesday everyone! It's been nearly 2 weeks since my last post, I was beginning to wonder if I'd remember ho to write up a post! LOL Between life being busy and me dealing with some health issues I just haven't had much spare time lately. I do hope things start calming down soon because I have a lot of pretties just sitting here waiting for me to show them off! 

For today I just have a quick (and old) nail of the day to show you. I have been wearing the same polish (A England Sleeping Palace) since Sunday and before that I was naked for about 3 days! Shame! Since I've already shown you Sleeping Palace, I'm showing you a polish I wore a few weeks ago and had pics just sitting there waiting for me.

Zoya Lola is a super bright and cheery pink with a purple/blue flash. I'm not a huge pink fan but when they are bright and in-your-face I love them!

I hope to be back to posting on a regular basis very soon! My brother is getting married this weekend so I will be busy (including doing multiple manis!) so I may not be back regularly until after the weekend. In the meantime, I hope you are all having a great early March!

Thanks for reading and happy polishing! ♥
