my nails did

I just did my nails. Style secret? I use bandaids as guides to do french tips. This is Zoya's Laurie (one of my three free nail polishes from them!) and China Glaze White on White with some kind of new top coat I got. The print is super tiny on the bottle but it might be called Sherani? It also says Tufcoat Plus. So far, I like it.




You can see the palm of my hand is red in the second picture because I've been hitting my cell phone due to it stopping working for no apparent reason. GRRR.

Giveaway soon + my free Zoya!

I'm coming up on my 150th post and I'll be doing a giveaway to celebrate! I have one more Hello Kitty for MAC nail polish I'm willing to give away and some other fun HK stuff.

For now though I have some pictures to share with you. Do you know of Zoya nail polish? It's formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate & camphor free. Recently they had a very cool promotion where they gave away three nail polishes free to celebrate reaching their goal of 5000 twitter followers. These are the colors I picked:


Loredana, Casey and Laurie.

I love gray nail polish so I decided to do Loredana with french tips using my Hello Kitty for MAC On the Prowl (the lighter gray).


Just Loredana ...

Close up.

Loredana is a really amazing matte velvet finish. The pictures don't really capture how matte it really is. And the lighter gray polish has a normal amount of shine to it. I really like the contrast in texture.

I initially heard of Zoya through All Lacquered Up's blog (which btw is an amazing and addictive blog). Zoya only sells their products online and to professional salons so that's prob why, but far I'm loving their polish and had a good experience with them.

Now we'll just see how long I can keep this manicure looking good ... I am not nice to my nails.
