Dior – Black Sequins Swatches

Good evening vampy friends! I am highly excited to bring you one of my new best friends named Dior Black Sequins. She’s a beaut! Though this polish is smaller than your average bottle (.33 ounces) and fairly expensive at $19.00, it’s limited edition and in my humble opinion, very worth the $$! Pics taken indoors with flash with no top coat.

Zoya Color-Lock System Truly Works!

Just a quick post to say I am on day 4 of the Zoya Color-Lock System and am very impressed. I do have two very small chips and some tip wear now, but this is the longest I have ever in my life worn a color before! To be honest I am kind of dying to remove it and put on a new color since I’m used to changing my color every two days, haha! In all seriousness though, I really like this and can’t wait to try it again on another Zoya color to see if it’s just as good. Oh and I will definitely be trying it on other polish brands also to see if it works with their formulas also!

Ta-ta for now!

48 hours later, Zoya Kalista going strong!

So it’s been almost 48 hours since I put on Zoya’s Kalista with the Color-Lock System and it’s going strong! Yesterday I did have to fix a chip, but it was my fault. You see, I was taking down office Halloween decorations and there was lots of peeling off tape on the back of paper skeletons involved. I have been typing away like a mad woman at work all day and not any noticeable tip wear either! Could this be it Ladies & Gents? Could it be, I have fallen in love…with a top/base coat? If you didn’t catch it, I was mocking that extremely annoying Sprint cell phone ad when the girl falls in love with a phone (I watch a lot of TV). Lame. Anyhoo, stay tuned for tomorrow’s installment of “Is she in love or isn’t she?” Oh and by the by, I know I am not clutching a polish bottle in the pic. I do love polish, but not enough to carry it around with me to work crazy people. Instead, I am holding my current fav lip gloss by Benefit which is called “Talk To My Agent” and it ROCKS!

Zoya Blog Feature

Happy Monday morning folks! I am very excited to say my blog has been featured on Zoya’s blog! Yahoo! Please follow link to view it. http://zoyanailpolish.blogspot.com/ Thanks to the folks at Zoya for thinking of me. I am currently wearing Kalista with their Color-Lock System and so far so good! I painted my nails last night around 7:00 pm and I have absolutely no tip wear or pulling as I usually do after I take a shower the morning after I paint my nails. I am really excited about this and if I can get a good 3 days wear out of this I will be a happy camper (or vamper). It doesn’t take much to make me happy. smile Zoya Blog Feature

Vamp on peeps, vamp on!

Zoya Flourish Winter 2008 Swatches

Good Sunday morning to you! Today I swatched two of my favorite colors from Zoya’s Flourish Winter 2008 line. I only got these two because they just spoke to me when I saw pictures of them online. I do have another order of some slightly older colors from Zoya coming to me hopefully soon, so once I have swatched those, I shall post them for your viewing pleasure. The sun is NOT behaving today (it absolutely poured buckets all day yesterday – so much for “sunny” California!) so I took pics inside and outside as best as I could. I am working on creating a light box so I can swatch painlessly throughout the fall & winter though! As per usual, these were not taken with a top coat. Enjoy!
