Zoya Caitlin

Hey folks! I'm sorry for the lack of posts. I've been kind of rushing to get stuff ready to leave town. I got my hair cut and colored today. I haven't really done a lot of "me" things besides for nail polish in long time, so it's nice to get pampered! Anywho, I have a pretty spring Zoya for you!

Caitlin

Caitlin is a medium gray with slight hint of purple creme.

I love this color! Gray-purples are colors I definitely used to hate on, but now I love. I actually have been buying more gray clothes too. You know the question I asked in a poll a little while ago about what polish color you'd like to paint your room. Zoya Caitlin would definitely be contender for me. It's a nice soothing color.

Happy Thursday!

Color Club Masquerading

I have to be honest Color Club is a brand that is very hit/miss & love/hate for me. Color Club has produced one of my all time favorite colors Pucci-licious. However, I've been disappointed big time, by a lot of their shades and formulation. This inconsistency makes it hard for me to really feel anything more than "meh" about them overall. I do however, like this shade from the Alter Ego collection.

Masquerading

Masquerading is a smoky teal frost/chrome.

I know frost is not the most welcomed word in nail polishes these days. Honestly, when it comes to your typical non-original colors, I get it. It's not the most flattering of finishes. However, when it comes to unique and original colors I actually really like the frost finish. I also really like it because it's not shade that I'd typically like. I'm really pleasantly surprised by this color. It reminds me of the color of black pearls. :)

It also gets this song in my head. I like the Carpenters version.


Is there nail polish brand you have a love/hate relationship with? Why?

Happy Tuesday!

NYX GIrls Turks & Caicos

I'm getting in the vacation spirit. On Sunday, I'm leaving for a week long Caribbean cruise. I cannot wait! I haven't been on vacation in 4 years. I'm definitely looking forward to the relaxation.I'll miss you guys though. You all want to come in my suitcase? No worries, I'll be having some guest posts next week. Anywho, I figured this was a nice NYX color to get in the Caribbean spirit, although I'm not going to Turks & Caicos. Oh well!

Turks & Caicos

Turks & Caicos over Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Pacific Blue

Turks & Caicos is a sheer medium blue jam packed with intense iridescent glitter.

This color reminds me a lot of the China Glaze specialty glitters as far as consistency. This is buildable, but it takes around 4 coats. I personally prefer this layered. I think it looks great over the blue, but I'm sure it would look great over other colors!

Happy Monday!
