Swatch Sunday: Zoya Paradise Sun Collection

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! Yesterday, I showed you the creme half of the new Zoyas for Summer 2015,  The Island Fun Collection. Today, I have their shimmery metallic counterparts: The Paradise Sun Collection. 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. Let's take a look!

Swatch Saturday: Zoya Island Fun Collection

Press Sample

Good morning, readers! Zoya released their Island Fun and Paradise Sun Collections last month for Summer and I'll be showing you both this weekend! Today, the Zoya Island Fun Collection: Ready for an island vacation, these playful creams embody a tropical getaway! They are strong in color to balance the brilliance of the summer sun, with a flawless cream formula. A few weeks ago, I showed you nail art using these cremes--they work really well in nail art because they are bold and opaque. Let's take a look at full swatches!

Summer Gradient with Cirque Colors!

Good afternoon, readers! I have a simple mani to share with you using two Cirque Colors polishes I recently purchased from Nordstrom. Vigo and Sunset Park are both squishy crellies so it took a lot of sponging to get them opaque enough for a gradient but I loved the color combination. I could have stamped or done other nail art over top, but I ended up leaving it alone.

Stone Nail Art with Elevation Polish Grand Teton Sunset

Good morning, readers! I have a fun mani to share with you that I wore last week. @Stylish_mom on Instagram posted a tutorial for "Stone Nail Design" using acrylic paint and silver flakes and I just had to try it right away! I've been wanting to try the watercolor technique with acrylic paint ever since I bought some but haven't gotten around to it until now. My base color is Elevation Polish Grand Teton Sunset so I'm not sure how much this looks like a stone in real life--but I sure loved wearing it.
