NOTD: Zoya Megan

Zoya Megan

Zoya Megan comes from the Feel Collection, released last winter. The color is described as a full coverage, taupe gray cream. Given the description, I was surprised by the lilac tones, but its a really nice polish nonetheless. Here, I started with a coat of Zoya Anchor followed by two coats of the polish to achieve full coverage.

DEAL ALERT: OPI at Walmart


If you like OPI, you need to head to the salon at Walmart.  That's where I purchased the three OPI's pictured above for the price of one - $8.50 plus tax!  Yodel Me On My Cell is from the Fall 2010 Swiss Collection, Dulce de Leche is from the South American Collection for Summer 2002 (! wow, that's old) and My Private Jet is from the 2007 Night Brights Collection.  These are old polishes, yes, but they're new to me and think I got a great deal.

If you're not looking for older polishes, the salon has another deal going for current collections - buy one get one for half price.  I hope you all are able to find some great deals at your local stores!

Zoya's Marry J is a Diva


"Warm, light red-toned purple frost with strong gold, green and blue duochrome shimmer."

Way back when (ok, sometime around Christmas), Zoya kept us deal-hungry customers on our toes with their fun flash promos.  While there were many great deals, my favorite one involved FREE nail polish.  I got lucky at least once, and ordered Marry J (aka Marry) from the Divas Collection (not to be confused with their current Diva collection).



"Different every time you look at it, this shade lends a magical, playful look to nails."


Very pretty with a great, smooth formula.

Sneak Peek: Zoya Suri and FeiFei

Hey there! I just received my order for Suri and FeiFei from Zoya's Fall 2012 Designer, Diva & Gloss collection.  Can't wait to show you the rest of the pics!

Sinful Colors - Luminary

Here'a quick look at my second Sinful Colors polish - Luminary:

Sinful Colors Luminary
As you can see, it's a pretty peachy-orange color with shimmer throughout.  I think the color is OK, but I'm not a fan of the formula on theses polishes.

It got kind of bumpy and was a little on the goopy side.  You can see where I dented it on the pinky nail after I thought it should've been dry.

My perfect polish this is not.
