Roller Coaster what?!

Hello everyone!!

Any guesses as to what this post is about?!

Picture this.
So get this you go up at a 45degree angle UP 200 feet, level out round a circle, get a nice view of the park and all of the sudden you reach the end and hang in the air with your feet dangling, praying to whoever you believe in that you live through this. Then BAM 5 seconds later the brakes release and you FALL 90 degrees going 70 MPH reaching 4G's! That is only the FIRST drop! The second isn't as horrifying but it's enough to make you scream then BAM you hit water, go around a building and head back into the loading dock.

Any guesses as to what Roller Coaster this is about?!

My First Tape-icure!

Nothing To Disclose
Hey Loves!
I hope you all are doing swell! I meant to put this post up the other day but there's been a lot going on around here and I honestly just never got around to it. Super lame and I am sorry!

I want to make note that this is ONE manicure, I did something different on both hands. I've learned my lesson and probably wont do it again because I hate HATE how my left hand photographed. 

On my left hand for a base I used Zoya PixieDust Miranda. I then used striping tape and applied Nubar's Jewel over top.

Zoya PixieDust - Beatrix



Hola amigos!

Have I shown you any of the Zoya PixieDusts before?

Zoya's Beatrix is the first of the PixieDusts that I tried. Why Beatrix? Uhm hello it's bright orange! I love me some orange polish! ...Plus it doesn't have a name sticker on the bottom and I wanted to get it swatched and posted before I forgot the name...

Zoya Gie Gie

Hey everyone!

Today I have Zoya's Gie Gie for you today!

This polish is from their 2013 Spring Lovely collection. 
I do want to mention that I did have to color correct these a little bit to make them more accurate.


This is the 3rd Zoya I have ever tried and honestly, I'm not a fan of the formula of this polish. Now, it's not how all of their polishes are, this one in particular is just on the thicker side, so it makes it a little bit more difficult to work with. 
This polish is a gorgeous bubble gum pink with silver shimmer. I really love this polish, but like I said the formula makes me not want to use it.

Has anyone else experience this polish as being thick or was it just me? I've got other Zoya's that are absolutely fantastic and I wouldn't trade them for anything, but this one is a little undesirable

Bevin's Sparkling Garbage!

Hola everyone!
I hope you are having an amazing Thursday! Here where I am in Florida, it's been raiiiiny as heck! I'm enjoying it though! Even when it's gross and cloudy here I can still get nice pictures! *high five*

For this nail look I used Zoya's Bevin and ORLY's Sparkling Garbage.

GIGANTIC Nail Polish Haul!! *updated*

Hello everyone!

Before I even get into this post I want to tell you that I am so sorry I am so behind! When we went to Orlando for 3 days we were SUPPOSED TO have Wifi in the room and there was NONE. I will be damned if I am going to sit in the lobby for hours with weird people watching me. Trust me it KILLED me not being able to interact and blog like I wanted! :( BUT I am going to get back into the groove! Unfortunately as well I'm going to have to stop the FOTD Challenge. I really don't want too but with moving then having no internet to do posts I am about 2 weeks behind and I wont be able to make those days up. It stinks!

Since I was working Premiere for the brand Olivia Garden I KNEW I was going to have Sunday off because I had a CVS Nuance party with ClumpsOfMascara. Corrinne from GalacticLacquer and I decided that on Sunday before the party we were going to SHOP! Let me tell you, this girl is amazing for one, but she was also a bad influence, but in a VERY good way hah. She influenced a chunk of the polishes that I bought. Haha which is A-OK with me! But lets get into the polishes! (there are ALOT) All of these polishes were on amazing deals for Premiere. I'll tell you the prices, but honestly don't expect to find them at these prices unless you go to a beauty trade show like this

The first polish I have to show you is from Trind. This brand of polish comes from Holland. It also happens that they were giving this color away. None of their polishes have names but the label says CC116

This purchase was DEFINITELY influenced by Corrinne 100%. I probably would have not bought it if she wasn't there actually.
Nail Envy & Avoplex Cuticle Oil $8 for the set.

May 2013 Ipsy Bag!

Hey everyone!

For today's Ipsy bag, there are some missing products in it... Well one of them I had to give to my sister. I'm highly allergic to Gardenia's and I was "blessed" with getting the Pacifica Tahitian Gardenia roll on perfume, needless to say it was out of the apartment within minutes of it entering. Yeck.

Onto a happier note. The contents!
This is the bag for this month. I really think that it is cute! 
I don't know what the theme is for this month, I never got the card that normally comes in the bag. It's all good though!

Zoya Blu



Hey everyone!

Blu is from Zoya's Lovely for Spring 2013 collection. Blu is a pale pastel blue color with a cream finish.

When I first saw this color, I wasn't sure what to think of it, I don't have ANY pale blue shades like this, or really any blues in my collection (shame on me).

I want to warn you before we get farther into the post. Don't judge my application skills, I seriously applied this in half darkness with only my computer screen as a light. I don't suggest it, but that is how I did it. So it's kind of messy. Don't be too harsh on me!! *shields self*

Zoya Earth Day Exchange!

Hello everyone!

I saw earlier on Seriously Swatched that Zoya is doing their Earth Day Exchange!
I wanted to do it last year, but didn't have the money, nor did I have that much nail polish. Hah! This year I am going to try and participate in it!

This image is owned by Zoya.com it is NOT my image

This is what you have to do!

"Once again, Zoya is helping you do a little spring cleaning with the return of the Earth Day Zoya Nail Polish Exchange* for 2013. Clean out your nail polish wardrobe and get rid of old nail polish that may not be BIG5FREE(Free of Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Toluene, DBP and Camphor) and exchange it for a greener alternative - long lasting, award winning, healthy ZOYA Nail Polish Bottles!
  1. Go to Zoya.com and pick out the polishes you would like (Note: ALL Zoya PixieDust Collection shades are excluded) and add them to your cart. You must select at least 6 bottles and no more than 24 bottles of polish (Salon accounts minimum 12 maximum 48 bottles).
  2. Apply the code: ZOYAEARTH2013
  3. Your order value will be adjusted to reflect a 50% discount (we use these funds to properly dispose of the old nail polish).
  4. SUBMIT your order!
Then Zoya will ship out your NEW polish! YEAH!
Once you get your order, here is where the exchanging* happens…
  1. Ship back the equivalent number of bottles you received to the return address below (ie. If you got 6 bottles of Zoya – you would send us 6 NON-ZOYA polishes). Please check with your carrier on the proper way to ship nail polish.
  2. Include a copy of your order.  "

Once again, that above statement is from Zoya.com. 

From April 19th-April 26, 2013.

Happy April!

Hello everyone!
Happy April 1st!

So I've only seen a couple of April's Fools jokes.
The one YouTube did was okay.
Them talking about picking ONE video that win out of the billions that have been uploaded, then shutting YouTube down until 2023.. Hilarious? Not really. I didn't think it was that funny.. Kind of stupid in my opinion, but so many people believed it, so it was effective!




The only other one that I have seen is from Zoya. This one, make me laugh. I'm not going to lie, if it were real and if it were not expensive, I would buy it just because it's quirky.

SOURCE Zoyanailpolish.blogspot.com

How freaking funny is that?!
It "retails" for $99.95.
Zoya says 
Take the textured nail trend to new heights 

Emphasize the beauty of your natural nail with the latest product innovation by Zoya - Grassy Nail! The all natural formula* gives you a luscious textured finish that's easy to achieveThe four piece set includes everything you need to get growing, but hurry - this Limited Available set is only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! 
For real. What makes me laugh the most is that it says Pre-order starts April 1st and it ships April 1st. Here is the link on how they tell you how to use it. Seriously, I think it's absolutely hilarious! Haah


Have you seen any other April Fools Jokes? I'd love to know which ones you have seen!!

I also want to state for the record, I am not affiliated with Zoya or YouTube. They did not ask or pay me to write about this. I doubt either company even knows I exist honestly. I just wanted to share the two jokes that I have seen and thought were laugh worthy.
