Press Release
*These products are Cruelty Free 





The Zoya 2015 Earth day Promo is HERE!!!

Are you going to be participating this year? I've done this several times in the past, but since I'm smack in the middle of a cross-country move, I'll be passing this year, but anyone able should just DOOO EEEET!!!






STARTS TUESDAY - APRIL 21, 2015!



With over 300 shades rooted in a healthy philosophy, it’s no surprise that Zoya is committed to helping you green your beauty routine! That’s why each year we give you the opportunity to exchange any old nail polish bottles that you may have laying around your house collecting dust, or that are not BIG5FREE* formulas, for brand new toxin-free** Zoya Nail Polishshades. You can rest assured that your unwanted polishes will be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. Helping the earth is easy… all you have to do to get started is pick out your NEW Zoya colors atzoya.com, follow the instructions below and checkout. Let us do the rest!


How the ZOYA EARTH DAY NAIL POLISH EXCHANGE works...

1. Visit www.zoya.com and add a minimum of 6 bottles of Zoya Nail Polish (no more than 24 bottles) to your cart. Minimum 12, maximum 48 for professional accounts.

2. Apply Code: EARTHLUV and a 50% credit will be added to your exchange order - free shipping included!

3. Complete checkout and you're all set! If you need further instructions (including info for our professional program) on sending back your unwanted polish click HERE.

The exchange runs on the honor system, which means you are not obligated to send in your unwanted polish - we assume you're going to do the right thing! Many people donate the polish to a local cause instead, which we fully support. If you choose to send back your polishes, please check with your carrier of choice for shipping guidelines and restrictions for nail polish. For full promotion terms & conditions and instructions on how to send in your polish, click HERE.

Girly Bits Hoop! There It Is! Collection - Swatches and Review

*These products are Cruelty Free 


Hi everyone! I'm back briefly with a new neon collection from Girly Bits called Hoop! There It Is!

Again I must continue to apologize for the state of my cuticles, but this time it's not the only thing for which I must be sorry. As I've mentioned before, I like polish and I do my best to show the polishes accurately but I am most definitely no photographer. Neons are just plain hard to capture anyway but for me, the hardest! So I have only one photo of most of this time and a few of them are cell photos.

The good news? They are STUNNING and they marble beautifully!

This collection launches TODAY! Sunday, April 19, 2015 at 11 am CDT (Noon EDT)

Digit-al Dozen Childhood: Arty the Smarty for Day 3

Product previously
Sent for Review



Hi everyone - it's Digit-al Dozen week again! This theme is "Childhood" - well I don't know about YOU GUYS but that was a really looooong time ago for me. But I do have a few memories LOL!


My favorite book when I was too young to read was Arty the Smarty. I nearly drove my mom insane getting her to read it to me. Over and over. And over and over again. She just thought that was tedious. Until I got into my tweens and played my 45 of  Muskrat Love about a zillion times a day. For months. Yes, Captain and Tennille. Don't judge me.





For this mani, I used Zoya Lillian again for the base and acrylic paints for the rest.

Check out the other great manis for Childhood from the rest of the Digit-al Dozen gang in the links below and check back every day this week for more!

Digit-al Dozen Childhood: Fruit Stripe Gum - Day 2

Products previously
Sent for Review


Hi everyone - it's Digit-al Dozen week again! This theme is "Childhood" - well I don't know about YOU GUYS but that was a really looooong time ago for me. But I do have a few memories LOL!


Day 2 is Fruit Stripe Gum. I loved every single thing about this except that the flavor didn't last long enough. I loved the flavor, the smell! I can't smell it to this day without being instantly transported back to age 6. You know, that magical age where you can still get away with shoving all the pieces in your mouth at the same time without TOO much flack from Mom? Yeah.





For this mani, I used Elevation Polish Cuernos del Paine and Mount McKinley and Nails Inc. Warwick Avenue and Sumner Place as the bases with acrylic paints for the rest. Not thrilled with how this one turned out but LOVED the gum.

Digit-al Dozen Childhood: Dandelions

Product previously
Sent for Review



Hi everyone - it's Digit-al Dozen week again! This theme is "Childhood" - well I don't know about YOU GUYS but that was a really looooong time ago for me. But I do have a few memories LOL!

Digit-al Dozen Childhood
Dandelions!





For this mani, I used Zoya Lillian for the Base and black acrylic paint for a quick and easy freehand of the dandelion. I am in love with that stamping plate with a similar image but for the life of me I can't get stamping down. And I don't have that plate.

I remember sitting on the grass in the back yard and trying to figure out why Mom called the white fuzzy fun ones dandelions and she also called the yellow topped ones dandelions. I remember being confused and in my head thinking of them as good ones and bad ones LOL!
