California LOVE❤

California Love and Baby Love! 

Life is treating us well and I hope the same goes for you :) I recently got my hair straightened and I love it. Yes, I have a few colors going on but it's A-OK. Bye Bye soon to the green, dark brown, black, and the blonde that's seeping through. lol 

I wanted to wait until the baby arrived to make the change then, but I am impatient and need to be made over ASAP. I will share with you guys the end result once it's all done. 

Until then here's a quick OOTD for you!

Loving My Jennifer & Soo Bow Earrings

Hello Luves!

If you know me you would know how much I loveeee bows. Anything with a bow and I'm all smiles. I saw these cute bow earrings on ShopLately and I had to grab them. I am glad that I did because they were only $17.50! 

I love how girly the bow actually looks. The detail on the earrings are amazing. Very one of a kind! I really love the little crystals that are all over the bow. They are really gorgeous and beautiful. Any girl at heart would love these. Valentine's is coming up and these would make the perfect gift for friends or loved ones.

How large they are when worn

ShopLately is not a monthly subscription service. There is no need to skip a month or worry about being billed any additional costs outside of your normal purchases. The shipping usually takes about a week which isn't too bad and I love the flat fee shipping costs of $2.99

Also, if you're wondering about my Black and White skull scarf that I am also wearing. I purchased this also from ShopLately. It has been a while but I just check and it has been restocked. 

You're welcome to check that out too. It's called the "Lightweight Skull and Crossbones Fringe Hem Scarf" and guess what? It's only $6.99!!!
If you are new to ShopLately, feel free to use my link HERE to make your first purchase(s).
I am glad I had the chance to tell you about these cuties that I love.

Zoya Robyn Review

Hey Luves!

Just when I thought Zoya Fairies were taking a break from their promos, they pop up and are at it again. With all the flash promos over the Christmas holiday another promo afterwards was surprising but I liked it. I liked it a lot! Tehehe

This most recent promo was for 3 FREE bottles. I was responsible for the shipping costs which was just $10 so I was game because I was saying $24. I grabbed the beauty I'm posting about today named Robyn along with Creamy and Yummy. Yummy and Robyn appears to be similar in color but they are not(I'll compare the two in a later post).

The blue is so dreamy. I am glad I picked this color up. I am loving blues lately. As you guys know I go through color "phases" and blue is my IT color for 2013. What is your IT color?

My FIRST Holiday Color ♡ Zoya Ivanka !!

Hey Lovelies!

Usually I am not big on centering my nail color around the holidays. I don't purposely wear orange/black for Halloween or blue/red for July 4th. This Christmas I've made an exception to the rule.
I have heard many great things about Ivanka by Zoya. Everyone says its a beautiful color, must have polish, their favorite green polish, etc. Those are big words so I had to see what the rave was about and grab me a bottle. LOL It was one of the many items I picked up from Zoya's (Stay tuned for my HAUL....)

Ladies and Gents, they were correct!! I have never received so many compliments on a nail polish color ever. This metallic green is breathtaking and I'm not even a huge metallic lover. It's the most beautiful green I've ever seen. The polish goes on smoothly with no grittiness like some metallic polishes tend to be. You can understand how much I love this polish because Zoya has changed mind about metallics and Holiday nails. It's perfect for Christmas because the green is so beautiful but let say this, once Christmas past I will still have this polish on because it's that gorgeous:))

Zoya Earth Day Swatches

Hello Beautiful Bloggers! I had to share with you my most recent Zoya additions. They are pretty lush! Social Networking is where its at. I've learned that if you're not on Twitter or Facebook, you're missing out on the best deals. For Earth Day, Zoya had a promotion (like they always do) where they would recycle your old used nail polishes that were non Zoya bottles. I have a few older bottles that just did not work out for me, but I refused to throw them away so this promotion was right up my alley. The deal was however many bottles you were willing to return to Zoya, that was the amount of bottles you had to purchase from Zoya. For example, I had 7 old bottles of polish so I purchased 7 new bottles from Zoya. I actually believe that Zoya had a minimum bottle purchase of 6 so that worked out perfectly. Also, when you purchased the 6+ bottles from Zoya, they all were 1/2 off. Yes HALF OFF so instead of $8 a bottle, they were $4 a bottle. I purchased 7 bottles for $28 instead of $56 so it was an amazing deal. Zoya would prefer you to mail your old bottles back, but it was not mandatory with this promotion. I did mail my old bottles back because I love to recycle and I wanted to do the right thing. 

Megan - "Full coverage, taupe gray cream"

                                    Tallulah - "Medium electric cobalt blue with fine bright aqua shimmer"

Tracie - "Faded, yellow-toned pistachio green with delicate silvery shimmer for a frosted pearl finish"

                                           Mitzi - "Funky murky light yellow-toned lime green cream with a velvety matte finish"

Adina - "Violet metallic multichrome. A frosty hint of green and magenta"

                                      Meg - "Light yellow-toned mermaid green with heavy gold and silver metallic shimmer and a sparkling foil finish"

Charisma - "Ultra bright neon fluorescent magenta/red-toned purple cream. This neon shade dries matte, but also can be worn with topcoat for a glossy finish"

These are the bottles that I purchased. I've included Zoya's description of each nail polish for you as well. 

I thought my favorite would be Charisma because of it's bright color and unique shade, 

but this polish is so hard to apply. As you can see from my swatch, it's VERY thick. I tried more than once to get an even coat but was unsuccessful in doing so. I am clueless on how I am going to apply this polish. For now, I'll just look at the bottle on my nail rack and imagine it on my nails :-(

The polish that I thought I would not care for was Adina. I am not a fan of multichrome polishes, but this was a pleasant surprise. Its a sexy gorgeous color that I love. 

Mitzi is my first Matte polish and I'm glad that I purchased her. I love neon colors and this is one of a kind. I cannot wait to wear this out. 

When I went to visit my Grandmother, she had her nails polished with a pretty green color. Her polish was identical to Tracie. I couldn't believe that it was a perfect match. I know she didn't have on Zoya's Tracie because she doesn't shop online, but it was so ironic because I just took Tracie off of my nails the previous day. Great minds really do think alike

Zoya is currently running a promotion where the shipping is FREE!! (code: FSG25). I wish I would have waited to purchase my Qtica Natural Nail Stimulator I just received yesterday for this promotion. I do recommend purchasing something now with this promotion because shipping is usually $6.95 which is almost the price of a bottle of nail polish. If you're new to Zoya, feel free to use my link for your first purchase.I would appreciate it.


Thanks for stopping by, XOXO

Zoya Trixie Dupe!

Hey Everybody! I have a perfect dupe for you. If you're familiar with Zoya, I know you have heard about Trixie. This is a very popular color. It reminds me of aluminum foil because its super shiny with lots of metallic. I had the chance of getting this polish from my Zoya color box that I purchased in the fall and I am glad I got her. I love silver polish, or anything with silver glitter. Not sure why gold doesn't really do it for me, but with silver it's a totally different story. When I won Revlon Colorstay in Sequin, I automatically thought about Trixie. These colors are so similar that its unreal.

 I mean seriously, can you tell the difference between the two?

I knew you wouldn't be able to tell the difference. 

Told ya! LOL!!

On my pointer and ring finger, I am wearing Sequin while 

I have Trixie on the others. 

The only difference I saw when I wore the polish is that 

Sequin is a tad darker than Trixie but no one else ever noticed because 

I wore the mismatch polishes for a few days. 

The BIGGEST difference is the price. 

While Trixie runs you $8 from Zoya plus S&H, Sequin will only cost you about $3 from your local pharmacy. 

Also, one polish didn't chip quicker than the other. 

They both stuck around for about the same amount of time. 

If you're wondering which one you should purchase? I would say Revlon Sequin! 

Thanks for stopping by, XOXO

Oscars 2012 and Zoya!

It's Monday and the start of an amazing week! How was everyone's weekend? Mines was fantastic despite allergies. Did you see the Oscars? I did and thought the whole event was Fab! I love watching every year since I am such a movie buff. I was pretty caught up with the movies (Moneyball, The Iron Lady, The Descendants, The Help, and Albert Nobbs). I'm glad that Meryl Streep did win for The Iron Lady, but I was also rooting for Glenn Close and George Clooney too. After watching the Oscars, I realized that I need to see The Artist and Hugo immediately. I felt left out since I have never seen them, but they won so many awards.
Now lets talk about the ladies and the dresses. Wow!!! I think that EVERYONE  came out in the best of their best. I was floored at how beautiful everyone looked. I really loved the dresses worn by Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, Michelle Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow, and many more! What are your thoughts on best dressed? Please do share.
I wanted to share with you what I am wearing today. This is such a classy color and a wonderful match for an event like the Oscars. I thought this polish was going to be a basic grey when looking at the polish in the bottle, but when I put the polish on, surprisingly it's not. That's a good surprise! Carey is indeed grey, but it has a slight hint of blue. This is one of the reasons I love Zoya polishes so much. Carey reminds me of Kristen because it's one of those colors that makes you say "What color is that?" I like the idea that the colors can take on the role of being whatever I'd like. 

You can really see in that the polish looks blue and also grey. So gorgeous and fresh. 

The quality of Zoya polishes are amazing. 

They are so rich and even after one coat you can see the superb coverage. 

If you haven't tried Zoya before, now is the chance to do so.

Trust me, you'll love their polishes too.

Zoya Cho & America Swatches & Review

Zoya had a cool promotion for Valentine's Day. If you purchase any polish, you can get one of their red polishes for FREE (your pick!). The extra perk was the shipping was also free, so it was 2 polishes with free shipping for the price of one. Yay! I have been eyeing Cho for the longest, but I haven't been able to catch any promo's from Zoya so this was my chance to grab her. I have also been wanting a really bright red so this was a double plus. 

Zoya describes Cho as "opaque yellow-toned light soft peachy beige with a hint of ultra fine silver shimmer". The description is right on. The shimmer in Cho so subtle that it was hard to get a good shot of the polish. I was able to achieve a few good ones though.  I love this color on me and it reminds me of OCC "Petty Beige" lip tar. These two together are going to look so lush. I love matching my nails with my lips. Yum!

I wanted the brightest red polish that Zoya had and I believe I found it with America. A bright red nail looks so pretty all year round and since I was a kid, I've always love red nails. Who didn't? 

♥2 coats were used for all my swatches♥

Zoya Bibhu Mohapatra w/ Sparkle Gloss Swatches and Review

I wanted to get a limited edition Color Box from Zoya from NYFW (New York Fashion Week). When I saw the colors in the Bibhu Mohapatra box, the colors were what I was looking for. I love the pale shades and then the red that just pops. I checked the names of the polishes to make sure they were indeed limited edition colors and they were. I wanted something that was fresh and new. The added bonus for this color box was that the shipping was FREE and I was getting a FREE Sparkle Gloss too. I couldn't resist. 

(l) Zeenat - a pale shimmer grey that is almost silver
(m)Preveen - a shimmer beige/taupe
(r)Rekha - a true red, not too bright and not too dark

 I have never seen a color like Zeenat before. A pale grey shimmer is so unique. With other brands, usually the grey isn't a true grey, or the shimmer is too much but that is not the case here. This color is perfect.

My new fav red! I paired the polish up with Wet N' Wild # 552A & Nars Exhibit A Blush

When comparing Parveen to Cho, the shimmer is Cho is more subtle than Parveen. Also Parveen is a little darker.

 When comparing Rekha to America, Rekha is a little darker. Still a beautiful red. So Gorgeous!

This was my freebie and what a wonderful freebie it was. Even with no other polish, the sparkle still shows. It's not too over the top. I cannot wait to wear this as a top coat. 

** I used 2 coats for all swatches **

Feel free to shop Zoya here with my link and let me know what are your thoughts on their polish 
Thanks Everyone

My Zoya Collection !

I have been following and watching Zoya on Facebook and Twitter within the past few weeks. Their promos are addictive. They can happen at anytime, but you have to be quick because it is first come first serve. Once all the allotted promos are used, you have to wait for the next promo.

When I first opened the Zoya packaging, I was amazed. I had never received such quality packaging before especially for nail items. It was very protected. 

I also received color spoons which was a first for me because I've never had nail color spoons. It's like having the colors right there so I'm a happy girl!

4 color spoons(1 is a duplicate), 7 polishes, cuticle gel, and nail remover

I now have 12 polishes and finally decided to give one a try. About time LaTasha! LOL

I tried MALIA first and it's so beautiful. A perfect year round color...

...BUT I was kinda bummed because it bubbled right after my polish

I did a polish change the next day and tried KRISTEN from the Feel Collection. 

Kristen is a pale grey-blue color. I received so many compliments on this color

 There was NO bubbling so the first time, I know I did something incorrectly :-)
I LOVE this color so much

This is what I will be wearing for the holidays.
Its called SNOW WHITE for a reason

Overall, I am totally in love with Zoya items. The Qtica Oil Gel is wonderful and I really like the fact that I received it for free.

I never carry cuticle oil in my purse because it may spill since it is oil. I never carry cuticle cream because it can melt if it's too warm, so the gel is just what I've been wanting because the tube is tightly sealed like a lip gloss.
