When I buy nail polish, the majority of my purchases are creams. But on occasion, I need a change. In my last mini-haul from Zoya, a holo snuck into my cart, and I am so glad it did. I chose Zoya Alicia, a silver linear holo with a touch of gold. To me, it has …
I haven’t bought any nail polish in almost a year. On my bad luck day in June when I got stung by wasps and got my thumb stuck in a folding chair, my thumbnail was damaged. Now almost 7 months later, my nail has recovered in spite of the fact that I recently sliced it …
I received a gorgeous bottle of Smith & Cult Nail Polish in my last Ipsy Plus box. It’s a nude peachy-pink called Forever Fades Fast. I haven’t tried it yet, but I can tell it’s a perfect shade for me. Also I love the look of the bottle. It’s a squat, heavy glass bottle with …
I found two nail polishes that I am smitten with in less than two weeks. That never happens. But how nice that it happened now, at the end of summer, when my nails are at their healthiest. I introduced you to the beautiful coral, Parasol from Adesse New York that I received in my Ipsy …

I love summer, and I love summer colors. Pastels, water colors, floral shades, I love ’em all. A few months ago, Zoya had a sale on minis. Minis are great. I have too many nail polish bottles so minis are much better for me than full size. I can’t remember the last time I used …
I haven’t worn any nail polish in more than a month because the Arizona desert also dried out my nails in addition to my skin. Truth be told, I forgot to take my biotin with me so it was my fault too. At any rate, my nails cracked and broke. Now that I’ve been home …
Zoya, one of my favorite nail polish brands, had a great promo in January: buy 3 polishes and pay only $12 shipping/get the polish free. What a deal because their polishes are usually $9-10 each! I fell in love with one of Zoya’s new shades, part of the Naturel Collection for Spring 2014, Brigitte, a …
Rose gold has been hot for months. I started seeing it last summer, and it was everywhere this past autumn and winter. Thankfully, it’s still here for spring. Rose gold is my favorite metallic. As I’ve mentioned before, it looks great on redheads. But I think it looks good on everyone because it’s such a …
In April, Zoya had a special promotion for Earth Day. The hook was to exchange your old non-Zoya polish for new Zoya polish. You had to purchase at least 6 bottles of Zoya, each 50% off. Once you received your new Zoya polish, you could send them 6 old bottles to be disposed of in …
As part of my April Zoya polish haul, I chose Blu, a pastel, cool tone, baby blue cream shade. I don’t have all that many blue shades, and the ones I do have tend toward aqua. So this was a departure for me. Because of its cool tone, I think it might …
Several years ago, whenever I went to New York, I always visited one of my favorite stores, Shanghai Tang on Madison Avenue. Shanghai Tang is a high-end Chinese clothing, accessories and decor store started by Sir David Tang, that was billed as the first Chinese international fashion and luxury company. They even had the …
Gosh, I never thought I’d be reviewing a nail polish remover, but here I am. I took advantage of a recent offer from Zoya. Purchase $10 or more and get free shipping and a full-size bottle of Zoya 3-in-1 Formula Remove+, a multi-tasking product that’s part of their Color Lock System and is touted as: …
I love the Zoya neutral shades. Don’t get me wrong, I love Zoya’s bright colors and Pixie Dusts too, but the Naturels collections really speak to me. I reorganized all my nail polish when I recently bought the triple stacked apothecary storage jar (reviewed here), and the shades that I own from the two Zoya Naturels collections …
