NOTD: ZOYA Sonnet Fall 2026 Nail Polish Collection in Berkley

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Berkley. Plum Creme.

NGL typically I am not a fan of purple nail colors, but this one right here? Stunning!

Berkley is a Plum Creme that is deep, dark, and delicious {perf for spooky season!} yet manages to maintain a passionate femininity that makes her an amazing choice for any and all personalities. This lady right here was incredible - she lasted a full 8 days with nary a chip, crack, or tipwear; and the ease of application was literal chef's kiss. One of my new faves for fall!

BOOK REVIEW: Practically Magic by Jen Calonita

What do you get when you mix together a pinch of Gilmore Girls, a cup of Halloweentown, and a spoonful of Hocus Pocus? Practically Magic.

NGL this was a cutie book that would easily appeal to readers 10 and up (it’s clean, barring one use of the sh word; so fully apropos). That said, I really struggled with the cattiness and miscommunication between sisters Kat and Harry; and could not get over how self-absorbed Kat was, even in the midst of her beloved town being taken over by Halloween horrors.

Speaking of, the amount of spooky creatures, from vamps to werewolves to gnomes and gremlins became a bit overwhelming; and by 70% in I just wanted the book to end. Nevertheless, I stuck it out, and was happy with the magical ending.

Standout characters were Roger/Fred, Laney, and Zach. If you’re seeking a quick-read/palate cleanser, this is a decent choice - especially if you’re looking for a little magic as we enter spooky season. It does err on the young side though, so if you’re seeking spice, look elsewhere.

NOTD: ZOYA Sonnet Fall 2026 Nail Polish Collection in Phyre

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Phyre. Fiery Orange-Red Metallic.

"I was on fire for you..." Sorry, sorry, sorry...every. single. time. I look at this color I think of those Cannons lyrics!

Phyre is a Fiery Orange-Red Metallic that embodies the shifting shades of the autumn season like whoa! You never know how a metallics will apply, but Phyre was fully opaque in one coat (I still doubled up to be safe), with a mirror-like shine that is TDF. I don't know about you, but for me, this may be the color of the season. She gives me All Too Well, autumn in New York vibes, and those are two things that I, for one, will forever find irresistible. Don't miss this one!

NOTD: ZOYA Sonnet Fall 2026 Nail Polish Collection in Greer

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Greer. Mauve Creme.

True story: I'm not the biggest fan of this shade.

Greer is a Mauve Creme that is soft and feminine, but, IMO, she's not serving fall. By this time of year, I want all. the. vamp. when it comes to nail color, and I could not find that with Greer. Is she beautiful? Yes, but I would prefer her for, at best, end of August. I will say that her formula was flawless - this beauty didn't so much as show tipwear after 7 full days of wear; so if you're feeling this shade, you must snatch her up before she sells out!
