Nail of the Day Zoya "Bela" & Essie LuxeEffects "Set in Stones"

Hi Guys! Hope you all are having a lovely Monday, today I have a Zoya shade that I've probably wanted the longest and just never ordered paired with my favorite Essie LuxEffects.  I often watch AprilAthena7's beauty videos regularly and one of her go-to polish picks is Zoya's "Dot" for a clean pink neutral nail  and my favorite from the Essie LuxEffects, "Set in Stones".  I enjoyed these together and I can see myself wearing these alot this Summer when I want something simple, classic, and don't know what to do with my nails. Enjoy!

Nail of the Day Essie "First Timer"

Happy Wednesday!  Today's Nail of the Day is Essie's First Timer and this was my first time using it since buying it over the Summer.  I really love Green shades all year round and this was definitely a Fall mood lifter for me! Essie describes this shade as a newbie fresh green and I would agree, this is with 2 coats and it applied flawlessly.  Compared to Zoya's "Josie" I would say this is a touch more of a pastel shade. I had no problems removing it and I'm excited to use this again as a pedicure!

Nail of the Day Essie After School Boy Blazer & Hors D'oeuvres

The Nail of the Day today is Essie's "After School Boy Blazer" with an Essie "Hors D'oeuvres" accent nail.  I absolutely love deep navy blue as a nail polish but sometimes I feel it can be harsh so I like to pair it up with a glitter accent nail.  This shade had a great application as my Essie's usually do and I only applied 2 coats for good measure.  I would say this is a deeper navy than Essie's "Bobbing for Baubles" but in it's own way different.  Surprisingly it wasn't difficult to remove at the end of my manicure, I can't wait to use this one again!

Nail of the Day Essie "Bobbing for Baubles"

I picked up this beauty in the same order as "Island Hopping" and have to say that I enjoy it just as much.  I strayed away from Essie for a while because I had so many and the recent collections weren't speaking to me but lately I've gone back to them and it's made all the difference.  I've noticed my mani's lasting longer, richer colors, and just overall better looking nail looks.  This polish is a deep, rich, slightly-lighter navy blue and it applies darker than in the bottle as you can see from the picture.  I had no problem removing it and loved how easy it was to apply in just 2 coats.  I usually have issues with dark polishes ad keeping my nail beds clean but this was a gem and I can't wait to wear it again!  This is a much lighter more cloudy blue than "After School Boy Blazer" and "No More Film" has more purple tones in it. Enjoy!

Nail of the Day Essie "Island Hopping" & Revlon "Girly"

Happy Sunday!

Today's Nail of the Day is Essie's "Island Hopping", I added this one to my list after watching one of TheStyleDiet's videos where she mentioned it.  I am a huge fan of dusty purples so this was perfect for me, I actually purchased it on Amazon along with "Bobbing for Baubles".  This polish was a lighter in color than I expected but as usual with Essie, it applied great in 2 coats.  The shade is a deeper and more mauve version of "In Stitches" and is very close to Butter London's "Toff".  I wore it by itself for a day and then added Revlon's "Girly" to it for a bit of sparkle. Enjoy!

Nail of the Day Essie "Sable Collar"

I'd like to share a Nail of the Day post since I haven't been too up to date with "Mani's of the month". Today I have Essie "Sable Collar", as soon as I saw this color I knew that I had to have it but wanted to get a good deal on it too! I waited for a CVS coupon and my ExtraBucks to combine for a pretty free deal for this and "Parka Perfect".  I wore this color for quite a few days out of the week and got a pretty good amount of compliments on it, it's almost a mink mauve/brown duochrome and I love it!

My November Beauty Haul

Hi friends,

I went on vacation for the week of Thanksgiving and picked up a few items, I didn't allow myself to go completely crazy but I grabbed a few things I'd been lusting after.  I will have swatches and reviews of these products in the next couple of weeks as well as pictures of the brand spanking new Zoya collection for Spring 2014 so stay tuned! Enjoy!

The first thing I picked up was the Zoya Remove+ since my local Ulta doesn't seem to want to restock this for me, I've done a post on my Nail Must Haves and included this in it.


I've been looking for a fan brush to apply my highlighter since I don't own one but have had trouble with the $14 price tag that most of them have.  I saw someone on YouTube recommend the EcoTools as a much cheaper and comparable alternative to the high end and I've loved it the couple of times I've used it. 

Next I started collecting shades of my new favorite lip product; the Maybelline Color Elixirs, I love the color selection and the staying power these have.

On my trip I picked up 2 new nail polishes from Essie's 2013 Winter collection; Sable Collar and Parka Perfect

While at Ulta I was having trouble choosing shades out of the NYX Butter Glosses when caught a glimpse of the Enchanted Kiss Butter Gloss Set. I will have swatches of each of my Butter Glosses when I post the review.

On Black Friday Sedona Lace had their awesome 50% off sale as well as a $5 coupon so I took advantage since I'd been waiting since last year's sale; I got the Se7ven Midnight Lace Synthetic Brush set but haven't had the chance to use it yet.

After much YouTube buzz about the Physician's Formula Glow Pearls, I thought I'd give it a try.  It's a drugstore highlighter I've wanted to try this out for a while and I'm glad I bit the bullet because it's just perfect.

 Lastly I have this mascara that I bought on Vacation and I've been enjoying it, it's the L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly and I'll have the full review up later this week!

Products in this haul:
EcoTools Deluxe Fan Brush
Maybelline Color Elixirs
Zoya Remove+
Essie Winter 2013
NYX Enchanted Kiss Butter Gloss Set
Sedona Lace Se7ven Midnight Lace Synthetic Brush Set
Physician's Formula Powder Palette Mineral Glow Pearls
L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara


Did you guys catch any Black Friday or Cyber Monday deals??

Nail of the Day: Essie "Tart Deco"

Hi friends,

Today I have a quick Nail of the Day for you, I have so many polishes now that I have started planning which polish colors I will wear next & I couldn't wait to wear this one! Last year I picked up essie "tart deco" & forgot about it, so now that Spring is here I plan to get plenty of use out of it. On my medium skin this is almost a neon & I couldn't capture that in pictures, I also have Van D'go, which leans more to pink than orange unlike this one. This is OPI Nail Envy, 3 coats "tart deco", & Seche Vite fast dry top coat, I do like it & think it's beautiful color but I will wait until Summer to wear it again. Excuse the pitiful cuticles & sloppy job but I'd been at a children's pool party all day & wanted to do a quick mani. Enjoy!

Have a great week!
