Zoya currently had an amazing promotion going on: 4 polishes for free! Just pay shipping. What better time to show you their newest transitional collection, Whispers. This creme-based collection will help move you away from vampy dark polishes into spring colors. I love these creme polishes, so let's take a look!

| Zoya Whispers Transitional Spring 2016 Collection |
Zoya April: 3-4 coats. This is a rosy nude polish and the hint of pink is just enough for my skin tone. I currently have long nails but if you're nails are shorter, you should be good with 2-3 coats.

Zoya Cala: 3 coats. A soft nude, this is a little too yellow-toned for my skin and it would look absolutely beautiful on someone with olive skin. That being said, I still love staples like this for bases for glitters and nail art. ![]() |

Zoya Misty: 2 coats. Another taupe color that looks a little murky on my skin tone because of the addition of green. I think this will be beautiful on someone with a darker skin tone as well. It's still REALLY unique and I have nothing like this in my collection.

Zoya Ireland: 3 coats. A muted but bright green. I realize that is a contradiction but there is no other way to explain it. It's a beautiful green and I love it.

Zoya Eastyn: 2 coats. Zoya calls this a subtle greyed grape and I think that is a perfect description. The formula is beautiful and I love it on my skin.

Today I have a special polish to show you from Paint Box Polish! Not only is it beautiful, but it is ONE POUR, meaning you better pounce on picking up this beauty today! It is available now so let's look at the photos so you can head to Paint Box Polish's site!![]() |
| Paint Box Polish LE Valentine's Day Set: Love's Keen Sting and Two Mani Fizzes |
First, I want to show you the two LE mani fizzes. One is Strawberries & Champagne, which you might remember from the NYE duo! It's a wonderful fruity scent with a balance of champagne sweetness. Next is Love Bites (the heart), which smells more floral to me. It's not too heavy though. I actually used my last Pumpkin Spice mani fizz before wearing this polish and it is wonderful. I fill a bowl with warm water and then soak my hands! My hands are so soft right now. (P.S. The fall mani fizz scents are currently on sale for $1!!)

| Paint Box Polish Mani Fizzes: Love Stinks and Strawberries and Champagne |
Love's Keen Sting: two coats. This polish is awesome. There was full coverage with two coats. It's a red violet polish with silver holo glitter and lots of gold shimmer. The golden shimmer is so so beautiful and you will see how it transforms the polish in the sun.
Also, this is apparently a Harry Potter reference. Pam, the maker, is a SERIOUS fan of Harry Potter, so if you figured it out, then you are just as serious as she is!

Good morning on this snowy Saturday! We are getting hit hard in the NYC/NJ area so I'm staying in for at least another 24 hours! The snow doesn't seem to be stopping! No better time to sit back and browse swatches than a day like today! And today, I have a beautiful collection from Cuccio Colours that is really one to get!
![]() |
| Cuccio Colours Nudetrals Collection |
*First, I did not use any top coat on these swatches. Cuccio has a wonderful formula and I wanted to show you how they self-level.
Fair Game: 2-3 coats. 3 for long nails. This is a beautiful white shimmer and for a white, it had a great formula! The bottle shows off a green and pink shimmer, but on my nails, I mostly see pink. It's still lovely and a great formula for white!

Oh Naturale: 3 coats. This one is like a shimmer version of Zoya Misty. Neither work well on my skin tone. The yellow undertones clash and create lobster hands for me. It's a nice shimmer for someone with an olive complexion. This needed three coats and has a nice silver shimmer to it.

Skin to Skin: 3 coats. This is a neutral color with more pink undertones so it works better with my skin. It still brings out a little redness but not as much as Oh Naturale. This has a very slight shimmer to it.

Blush Hour: 3 coats. Similar to Sun Kissed, Blush Hour is a beautiful muted pink loaded with the same shimmer. I love this color on my skin. It's totally wearable for me. Love love love. No top coat either and it is so shimmery and leveled out. ![]() |

Grey's Anatomy: 3 coats. This is the same shimmer, with a grey-blue base. Again, I love this shimmer. It's just perfection. And I love this shade of blue. I wish I could paint my walls in this color! Thick coats would probably only need two for coverage.![]() |
| Cuccio Colours Grey's Anatomy |

| Cuccio Colours Grey's Anatomy |
Olive You: 3 coats. I've already worn this again since I swatched it. It's a beautiful olive green grey color, again with this beautiful golden shimmer. So unique and special. I prefer to do thin coats, so I did three coats but if you like thick coats, this will be two (like Grey's Anatomy).![]() |

I love Fair Game, the white shimmer, and the four heavy golden shimmers. They are so unique and beautiful in my large stash. The formulas on this polishes all leveled out wonderfully, and the quality of Cuccio is really great. Want to learn more about Cuccio? Here to their main site, Cuccio Naturale, Facebook, Instagram, If you don't have a CosmoProf or beauty supply close to you, you can order the Nudetral collection HERE. Cuccio has a huge amount of nail polish and beauty products, so you can place one big order!

Another week to welcome! I never feel bad about Mondays; it's a day to start the week off right! And today, I'm showing off a new-to-me brand, Gabriel!
![]() |
| Gabriel Lilac Blossom with Easy Line Nail Art |
Gabriel nail polish is a brand I met at the Tips & Sips event while at Cosmoprof. You can see pictures of the event and all the colors I saw of Gabriel HERE. I got to grab a polish to take home and here is the one I took.
Gabriel is 5-free and can be found at Whole Foods.
Lilac Blossom: 2 coats.The is a beautiful dusty purple with silver shimmer. The color and shimmer combination make it a wintry color, hence why I waited to wear it. The formula was nice and smooth and I didn't need any top coat.

The purple color reminded me that it worked well with The Nail Challenge Collaborative’s theme of purple! I added random lines with a silver texture polish and then dots of purple texture polish! I liked the contrasts of shimmer with texture! Nothing fancy but totally doable!

Nothing to Disclose
It's Groundhog Day! I hope I don't wake up to the same day tomorrow ;). To commemorate whether or not we have six more weeks on winter, I've done some Groundhog Day nails, hopefully worthy of Punxsutawney Phil.
![]() |
| Punxsutawney Phil Groundhog Day Nail Art |
I began with a base of Barry M Spring Green, which is the perfect grass green to me! Then I added a variety of greens with a striping brush to represent grass. Lastly, I took a black creme to create question marks. I noticed Sonoma Nail Art used question marks in her mani, and I loved the idea!
And by the way, he did not see his shadow! So that means it's an early spring...except we will have snow in the next week.

I don't really understand this tradition. 6 more weeks of winter or not, it will still be cold! But it's fun to do something every year!

As I mentioned yesterday, I love NOLA and they are in the last week of Mardi Gras. Today I have a much blingier Mardi Gras look, with some additional decals, so let's look!
![]() |
| Mardi Gras Nail Art: Saran Wrap with Lace Decals |
I received these lovely decals from Born Pretty; they call them Arabesque, but I find them to be lacy decals. There's 20 in a pack so you can do 2 full manicures or a few with accent nails. I choose to wear a full mani. I really love these decals! As always, I cut out my chosen design, remove the plastic coating, drop the decals into water for 20 seconds, and place where I want. Make sure you FLOAT top coat over them or then will get destroyed. These decals are $1.72 and can be found HERE.
I began with a base of Pahlish Golden Nugget, a super blingy gold holographic nail polish. Then I used Bamboom and Witch, You're Fabulous from Girly Bits and dabbed on dots of those polishes with saran wrap.![]() |

Hi all! This weekend is the Superbowl! For me, it's usually about cooking up some yummy food! I don't have an attachment to either team, so I'm showing both team's nail art! First, let's start with a simple Broncos tribute!
![]() |
| Denver Broncos Nail Art with Zoya Nail Polish |
I began with three coats of Zoya Arizona, the perfect Broncos orange! Then, using Zoya Sia, I painted on stripes. Lastly, I added a white stripe between the blue and orange.
I attempted to write Broncos on my nails; turns out, I can't write at all! Hahah. But I tried!
