Color Block Nail Tutorial Fall 2010

Yay for Color Blocks and beautiful polishes. I was inspired to a tutorial when I received so many complements this weekend. I figured if everyone I ran into in person loved it.. someone online will love it too

If you do this tutorial I’d love to see it and post it. Doesn’t matter the colors just have fun with it.  info@pursebuzz.com

Zoya Flash Nail Polish Swatches and Review

A few weeks ago I did a review on Zoya Sparkle(click here for those swatches) and that was a pretty unique glittery look. Today, I would like to introduce you to the other half of Zoya’s Summer launch. Flash!

Surprisingly for a girl who loves sparkle I actually love Flash more. This is one of the most creamiest, opaque and smoothest creme polish I have ever seen.  You only need two coats to enjoy the full effect as seen below. Of course being the colorful person I am, I added the third coat because I wanted it to be In Your Face!

These colors are extremely long lasting. I just used my Developer 10 top coat (ulta.com) and it was good for at least 5 days.

I love all of the colors but I do favor 4 simply because they remind me of sherbet ice cream <3. Join in on the dairy fun by visiting artofbeauty.com or your local beauty supply store.

Top Faves:

• Perrie
• Robyn
• Jancyn

Zoya Sparkle Polish Swatches

I love these polishes soo much. So I took them on a test run and they held up great. Only minor chipping on the 5th day. I HIGHLY recommend these polishes to those who like glitter and color all in one bottle. The polish applies smooth and perfect after 2 coats. But I like to add three for that extra flare. I love them all especially Charla and Ivanka <3

Cuticle Saver During those Harsh Winters

I think I had my first experience with the coming Winter today. It was freezing, raining and super windy. In fact, so windy a tree fell on someone’s car.

Lately ,I have been on a nail kick. I think it is because my nails are finally back to a decent state. I don’t break too many nails, but I have noticed that I break a lot of nails when handling luggage during my travels BLEH!  Try three in one swoop.. disaster!!!

How do you keep your hands soft all Winter?

Zoya Ultra Glitter Winter 09

Ultra Glitter Winter 09 have so much glitter and color you don’t need a bottom color.  Zoya has released three over the top polish sprinkled with glitter like no tomorrow.

I applied two coats and let it dry. The glitter is fully covers my nails but for those who don’t like the gritty glitter feeling should probably pass on these. If you are a glitter queen I highly recommend these ..

Time to sparkle!!!!

MatteVelvet Winter 09

Zoya MatteVelvet Winter 09 colors are really pretty. I have really enjoyed Zoya’s Matte Velvet colors. They are matte, and opaque with a hint of shimmer. These do chip a bit faster than regular polishes from Zoya but if you get creative and add a clear coat to the tips you can add a few days to the manicure

MATTEVELVET nail color by Zoya is not intended to be worn with a base coat, top coat or speed dryer of any kind. Due to the unique matte formulation, color is not as long wearing as traditional nail color. A completely clean, dry nail surface yields the best results for matte nail color wear. For best results make sure to always prepare the nail with Zoya Remove+ (3-in-1 nail polish removed, nail plate cleaner and new color prep.) prior to applying color.

.

Have you tried Zoya Matte Velvets? What do you think of them?
