Zoya Minka+ Daring Digits Mix My Matte Up

Hello readers!

Today is one of those days where my 2 year old wants to see just how far she can take me because it's not even 10am and I am so over it! Makes me wonder why I am doing this all over again in a few months... :)

Anyway, this mani is a little different than what I normally go for. I like nude polish a lot, but I definitely prefer bright colors to wear. Maybe this is the best of both worlds? This is Zoya Minka with Daring Digits Mix My Matte Up. 

In other news, I posted this on my Facebook page last night, but I added some things as well as lowered some prices in my blog sale yesterday. I would really love to get rid of all these polishes I have no use for! :)

Daring Digits: More Dots!

Hi polish lovers!

This is a swatch of an indie I wore recently. It's called More Dots! from Daring Digits polish. It's got got a sheer black crelly base so I layered it over a black creme. I like dot glitter a lot, and it's a classic combo with the black!

This polish isn't actually in stock at the moment, but I am sure that it will be brought back soon. In the meantime the Daring Digits shop is on sale for $6.50 and you can see that *here*.

Are you loving dot glitters that are popping up in indies lately?

Zoya Heidi + D&R Apothecary Jack Loves Sally

Happy Friday!

This is a scheduled post because Dustin and I are getting away for the weekend (sans 2 year old) to Atlanta! I am excited to have a little break from life and do some shopping! :)

This mani's base is Heidi from Zoya. I was hoping this would be more bright but it's still a nice coral shade.  I topped it with Jack Loves Sally from D&R Apothecary. I like this combo of glitter and the bars add a little extra something to the look.

Have a great weekend!

Zoya Natty + Maya Cosmetics Commotion

I love a glitter gradient...definitely an easy way to dress up a mani. This is Zoya Natty, the perfect navy blue, with Maya Cosmetics Commotion used to make the gradient. I like the effect the square glitters add to this polish.

If you haven't checked out the Maya Cosmetics shop before, you definitely should! It's a cute site and it can be found *here*.

Zoya Crystal + NYX Beige Glitter

Zoya Crystal is one of those polishes I always looked at but never bought. I knew it was one of the more well known shades but I never felt like I needed it. So when I saw it for sale for $4 in a blog sale, I decided it was a good time to try it. Zoya is one of my favorite nail polish brands but I have a hard time with $8/bottle! I am glad I got it though because it is a special polish. I used NYX Beige Glitter as an accent nail and I like how the gold flecks in the different polishes compliment each other. 

I think Zoya should make more of this type of finish because it's definitely one of a kind!

Color Club Fashion Addict Swatch

Hey everyone!

I am showing a polish that I bought when I first started collecting a few years ago and haven't really given much credit to. 

Remember when the OMG collection was ever elusive and everyone wanted to get their hands on a linear holo? Now there are lots of options available, but back then I discovered and decided to try out Color Club Fashion Addict because it didn't cost an arm and a leg. Googling swatches led me to believe that it was a super linear holo. But once I got my bottle from Head2Toe Beauty I realized there was another version out there made with less holo pigment. I was pretty disappointed and didn't give my bottle a chance to really wear it. 

Fast forward almost 3 years and I finally gave Fashion Addict another chance! Since the linear holo craze died down, I was able to branch out and give other types of holos a try, leading me to appreciate and love so many other kinds out there! Even though this version of Fashion Addict isn't super strong, I still really love it for what it does offer. Check it out!

Super pretty right?!

Do you have polishes that you gave a second chance and realized you loved it?

Also, I wanted to remind you to check out my blog sale if you haven't already! There are so many pretty polishes still available that need good homes! :) You can view it *here*.
