Silver Kennedy

Silver Kennedy

So as everyone knows, Zoya had a promotion last month where you could get 2 polishes by just paying shipping.  I decided that I needed to have Kennedy and I don't regret it for one minute :)  I love this color!  I'm not really sure how to describe it, but its lovely.  I wore this out to celebrate my mother's birthday a couple of weeks ago.  We went out to one of her all time favorite restaurants, but before we had a little nail paint party.  It was a wonderful day.

I started with 2 coats of Kennedy and then stamped it with Ulta Scene Steel-er and one of my new Red Angel plates #104.  I LOVE  the way this turned out.  I feel like its the perfect combo. 

Do you love it too?

Zoya Charisma

Zoya Charisma

Today I wanted to show you one of my newer Zoya polishes.  I bought Zoya Charisma from Bloom.com at the end of 2011.  I didn't really remember the polish that I had chosen, so I was a little surprised when I opened the box.  I didn't remember picking such a bright, bold color.  But after putting it on, I was much more content with my choice.

Here is Zoya's website description of this color : Charisma can be best described as: Ultra bright neon fluorescent magenta/red-toned purple cream.  I would agree with that color description.  As always the formula was wonderful.  For being a matte polish, I didn't have any issues with streaks.  But I definitely love the look of shiny nails, so I added a coat of Essie Good to Go.

Taken in the sun :)  Sunshine always makes me happy.

 

I also recently participated in Zoya's promotion to get 2 free polishes by only paying shipping.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I will finally receive them today!

Afterhours with Caitlin

I'm back from my dad's house and I wanted to share with you the mani that my little brother (he is 7) helped me pick.  After spending about 5 hours....straight...playing Super Mario Brothers, I was finally able to convince my brother to let me repaint my nails.  I had only brought 5 polishes with me, so the selection was limited, but I would say that he did pretty good.

I started off with a layer of Zoya Caitlin.  I was hoping this would help with the removal process, but no such luck!  But I really loved the color of the polish and will definitely have to wear it again alone.  Next I topped it off with one coat of Urban Outfitters Afterhours on all my fingers except for my ring fingers, which I added a second layer for more coverage.  I had picked up this lovely glitter while out in LA, and I'm so happy that I did.  The polish is an amazing mix of silver and pale pink holographic glitter.  Anything this sparkly makes me happy!

Look at that SPARKLE!!!

I'm extremely happy with my first Urban Outfitters nail polish.  Do you have a favorite?  Don't you just love sparkle....I really do!

P.S. I'm so excited to show you the mani I'm wearing today....I thought that I had completely ruined it, but I was able to pull out a win...well at least I think it is :)

Getting short with Neeka

So I have just a short post for you today.  I'm getting ready to go visit my father in upstate New York this weekend for his 50th birthday!  He is becoming such an old man....just kidding.  I love him and Happy Birthday Dad!

Anyways, I wanted to share with you my first Zoya nail polish.  I got it when I saw that Nailed It (check out her blog....lots of amazing stuff) had written a post about how they were having a deal, get two free polishes and only pay shipping.  I was extremely happy and went to pick out my colors asap.  The first one I tested out is Neeka.  This polish is a lovely dusty greyish purple with a gold shimmer.  I was definitely surprised by Zoya's bottles.  They are very cute and tiny.  I love tiny products!  And I'm really liking the brush as well. 

Look how short my nails were!  I trimmed them down before our trip, just to be pre-cautious about them breaking while on the vacation.  And of course, I still broke 3 nails the first night of the trip.  I blame the weather change :)

 

So the photos don't really show the gold shimmer very well, it actually looks a little more silver.  But that's because it is now pretty much...I don't want to say it....winter in lovely Ohio!  Boo!  This means that I'm generally not able to be in the sun during the work week, so bathroom photos are going to have to work.  Sorry.

Well I hope everyone else has a wonderful and safe weekend!
