China Glaze Crinkled Chrome Collection

As part of a product review, I received the China Glaze Crinkled Chrome collection made up of 6 colors that apply like regular polish, crinkling as they dry for an edgy, chrome-like finish.  It's basically metallic-textured polish, however, not the griddy or sand-like texture we have been used to thus far.  The pastel shades add a nice tone to the collection but personally, it's a whole new level of texture for me worth trying for edgy winter nails.

This is my first post from my new laptop... I got a Mac .. I think I am now part of the dark side,.. still getting used to it so bare with me... anywho.. back to the grind!!!

First up is Wrinkling The Sheets
minty-green-pastel




Don't be foiled
Very similar to the shade before with a bluish-hint


Iron Out Details
Gorgeous metallic blue.



because of the lighting texture is better seen here.


Aluminate
is the silver friend of the collection.



I'm a Chromantic
A romantic rosy metallic pink


and lastly, Crush Crush Baby.
A gorgeous purple.  This is what I wearing on the sneaky peaky on Instagram.


Again, applies super easy as any China Glaze polish, the bottle and brush compliment eachother very nicely... fool proof.. dries super quick (KUDDOS).  It's not a textured polish I would rock all day everyday but certainly for those out-of-the-box funky manis.

Also wouldn't wear Crush Crush Baby with wool, fine threads or silk clothing as the texture does have an "edge" and may "scratch" or get caught.  It doesnt really happened with the other ones.

Removal is a breeeeeeze, just how I like it and when removing, i think i found the secret!!! Look at the those bars... I think that's the umphhh! in the formula ^_^



Available at beauty supply stores nationwide including Sally Beauty Supply and Ulta.  Individual shades retail for $7.50 MSRP

Zoya Naturel 2014 Collection: Swatches and Review

*** Press Sample***

Did you know that waaaaaaaaaay back when, even before I knew of Facebook's existence, let alone Blogger I have had to always always ALWAYS keep my nails painted, and to this day, because I am nail biter!!!! yes! I am .. as gross as it is, My name is Yoha and I am a nail biter.  

The solution was to keep them painted so just in case, as it was always the case, my teeth reached my nails, and viceversa, I would entertain my mind with some nail polish as opposed to the nail itself.  Therefore, every night I had to apply a fresh coat of nail polish but I was very young for any nail color or nail art and was only allowed to use neutral, Naturel colors and french manicures on special occasions.  

The Zoya Naturel 2014 Collection has taken me back to my first nail polish true love.  

These are warm, soft nude tones for anyone, accentuates every gorgeous skin tone there is.  It just goes perfect with everything and is nail art friendly.  

With pride and joy, I present to you the Naturel ladies. 

Chantal

French Vanilla Cream

Taylor 

Light Toffee Cream

Rue

Boudoir Blush Cream

Brigitte 

Bombshell Mauve Cream

Odette 

Sultry Maroon Cream

Normani 

Sable Mauve Cream

With the harsh winter days we've had had in the northeast, I created this one using the lightest and darkest shades. 

Or a skittle mani to show them off at one. 

I wanted to do a matte ombre but didnt turn out too well. 

I have gotten very brave and even though it's an everyday struggle, I don't need to actually do my nails every single night .. but I enjoy it a lot and find myself changing my polish quite often... especially when using amazing brands like Zoya and even more amazing is having readers like you!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

The Naturel Collection is available for purchase and retails for $54.00 and bottles can be purchased individually for only $9.00.  Zoya has earned its good name for its big 5-free and healthy formula

Nail Color-Key Color... same difference

Nail Color-Key Color... same difference it just means I need more nail polish.  Honestly, and because I may have more polish than fingers, I have finally made it a fun chore to color code my keys.

More like beautify and save a few bucks on those pretty key covers i wanted that get dirty and damaged so easily and fast... these are renewable and changeable.  :) Plus it is now soooo much easier to identify the keys :)

I used Barielle  Lemon Drop
SinfulColors Got a Blush on You
China Glaze Take a Trek
and
Jessica Amira



I am very happy with the results.
Looks like I am going to have to buy more nail polish because I have lot more keys to paint and frankly all I need is a little excuse.

Bumble Bee Pet Costume

If you thought my cats were spoiled brats and had it better than many dogs... you're right... although they may differ in opinion because I dress them up and they are as miserable as some dogs when they get dressed up but look just as ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's not the first time though... in fact they have won cat of the day from I Love My Cat for their stilo (style), 

Now check them out in their bumble bee pet costume from Wholesale Halloween Costumes. 

At first they werent too excited

I think the whole antenna thing was not a plesant idea for my kitty cats, so as soon the antennas came off, the started having a little bit of fun.

Ok! Milo as always has a LOT of fun!!

Milo! Jump over Maya! (she did not appreciate that request - you can tell by her ears)  JK! Milo jumped to try and maybe finally catch that annoying red dot that always manages to escape.  Only if those wings could be flapped.. he was ready to fly!!!!!

 

The costume is made from 100% polyester, comes in different sizes, perfect for small dogs or yeah! even cats!!! 

Hooded "onesie" with wings.  Antennas on the hoodie with holes for their ears.

They seemed very comfortable (as comfortable as a dressed up cat can be) and when Milo got caught under my aunt's mattress when we went to visit on Christmas eve (he went into hiding because it was his first time there) it was not a hazard.  It came right off.

Be sure to check out all Pets Costumes and pamper your furry children.
