Zoya Ornate Collection: Logan Nail Polish (Pictures) and Some Easy Holiday Nail Art

Here's another from the Zoya "Ornate" Holiday collection!  "Logan" is a forest green with fleck/metallic shimmer.  Gorgeous and very festive!

2 layers:

I then I decided to wrap it up with some ribbon (nail art striping tape). It is best to wait until your polish is COMPLETELY dry to add the tape, that way you have the ability to move it and place it the way you would like before sealing it in with topcoat:

I'm not usually a huge green fan, but there is something about this one that makes me swoon.  You can see Blaze here and Ziv here (also from the Ornate Collection).

Zoya polishes can be purchased on their website, and if you use my referral link here to create an account, you will receive a coupon in your account for a free bottle of polish (even better, add 2 more bottles and get free shipping on that order!).

Which 'Ornate' colors excite you the most?!

Neener Neener Nails (N3) Nail Polish Pictures!

Today I have some polishes from Neener Neener Nails (N3) to show you!  This is an 'indie' brand of polish that is sold in their shop on Etsy.

How cute is this?!

First up is "Snow Confetti", which has a white creamy base and fine, multicolored glitters. LOVE.   3-ish layers:

Next is "Butterfly Kisses", a sheer pink base with blue and pink hex glitters and pink butterfly glitters too! I wanted to see how this looked on it' own. This was 4 layers. I loved how shiny it was:

And, of course, I had to see what this looked like layered over a baby pink creme (Julep Penelope).  So gorgeous!

Then we have "Naughty 'N Nice", a sheer red base with gold and red hexes and bar glitters. Again, I wanted to see how this looked on it' own. This was 3 layers:

And here's "Naughty 'N Nice" over gold (Zoya Ziv):

Last but not least- "Ice Princess". This has a sheer seafoam base and blue/teal hex glitters and large star glitters. 2 layers:

And this is one layer of "Ice Princess" over teal creme (Zoya Wednesday):

I loved these polishes and thought the application was great. Some of the glitters had to be fished out (I'm looking at you butterflies and stars :) but they were not troublesome at all to apply, and I found the sheer bases to be ultra shiny!!

You can purchase these polishes and see a ton more in their Etsy shop here! 

Which one is your favorite??

Zoya Ornate Collection: Blaze Nail Polish (Pictures)

Hi there! I'm finally emerging from my Thanksgiving induced coma-like state, and I am wearing this beauty on my nails- Zoya Blaze!  "Blaze" is described by Zoya as being a cool toned mulberrry red with microfine diamond holographic glitter. It's a very festive alternative to the traditional reds that flood the market this time of year:

This applied easily with just 2 layers- excellent formula:

For the picture below, I dialed down the lighting on my camera in order to show the depth of the glitter on this:

So beautiful!  It reminds me of wine....or sparkly cranberry sauce!

If you use my link to Zoya's website and create a new account with them, you automatically get a coupon code for a free bottle of polish (also, add 2 more polishes to that, and receive free shipping as well!).

Are you a 'red' person for this time of year?

OPI Skyfall Collection: Goldeneye Nail Polish

I had no plans to try this polish.  I recently picked it up for a friend, but it wasn't what she had in mind. I figured, in the name of thorough polish research, I should try it. I'm happy to say, I'm glad I did!

Goldeneye (from OPI's James Bond themed "Skyfall" collection) is a golden-fleck type polish that is absolutely GLOWING.  You could definitely use just one layer over a black polish and get a really pretty effect.  Each layer adds more coverage. This was 3 layers on it's own, and I probably should've down 4- there are a few little bald spots in the pictures that aren't visible in real life. I'm still pretty mesmerized by this:

I can't believe I wasn't going to get this for myself!  It's so festive and gorgeous! What do you think?
