OPI Pink Shatter

While walking out of Wal-Mart the other day I saw that their salon, they had a new OPI Shatter! It's pink so of course I had to have it! :D I didn't really know what to pair it with I chose five polishes for four different nail looks. Here we go! Hope you enjoy!

Left to right: Essie 'Sand Tropez', OPI 'Rumple's Wiggin', Sinful Colors 'Queen of Beauty', paired with  OPI 'Servin up Sparkle', and Zoya 'Pandora'.


Left to right: 'Sand Tropez' two coats
'R'sW' two coats
'QOB' & 'SUS' two coats each
and 'Pandora' two coats

All topped with one coat of Pink Shatter.
All based with Nail Life and topped with Seche.

Zoya Pandora

A few days ago I received my birchbox, you can see that post here. Inside was this little gem. A Zoya 'Pandora' mini. This is from their 2011 Touch Collection. 

I didn't think I wanted anything out of this collection, because I usually don't go for nude/non crazy colors. But this mini has changed my mind! I definitely will be purchasing this entire collection!



 'Pandora' is a pink nude with a touch of pink/silver shimmer.  This is almost a one coat wonder(saw that on another blog, thought it was cute). I used two coats with Nail Life as my base and they're topped with Seche Vite.



This shows truest to what is seen in real life.
Do you like nudes or muted colors, or are you like me and want a party on your nails every second of every day? :) 

Well thanks for reading!! Have a great day!

My First Zoya

So I layed in bed at 11:30 this morning thinking about how I have no Zoya polishes and I've really got to get some...well.. Ask you and shall receive. I got up, and got my mail and in it.... was my very first Birchbox (you can read about that here..My First BirchBox)!!   And in that.. was my very first Zoya!  It is 'Jules' and it is from the new Intimate Collection

My thoughts.. nice formula, okay dry time, and beautiful color! These are all three coats. You can achieve opaqueness in two depending on how thick your coats are. Mine were pretty thin so I used three


Check out my photos and have a great day!!







I like how I decided not to paint the sides of my nails.. lol

My First Birch Box!! (Pic Heavy)

So I signed up for Birchbox last month and today I got my first one! If you are unaware of what Birchbox is, it is a service where you pay $10.00 a month and you receive four deluxe samples, and usually an extra little gift. Birchbox carries brands like Stila, Zoya, Benefit, Ahava, Bare Minerals, Deborah Lippmann, Juice Beauty, Keihls, and much much more! You also have the option to review the samples that you receive each month on their website, when you do you earn points toward purchasing full size products that you love! You can check them out here BirchBox.

So this month and Birchbox has gone green with Eco-Fabulous! All items received this month are guaranteed Earth Friendly!

So here is what I received...
