2023

a reminder that for all of the times 2023 looked like smiles and laughter, it also looked like tears and heartbreak. it’s okay if your 2023 was a bit of both (it’s called balance for a reason). it’s okay if your lesson learned was that some things get broken and stay broken, no matter how much you try and piece them back together. it’s okay if your big takeaway was that things don’t always work out the way you want them to, regardless of how well-laid your plans were. it’s also okay if you’re still navigating through rough times, trying to seek out better ones. if 2023 was everything, everywhere all at once, congratulations…you did it right. love you.🫶🏻

happy christmas angels!

happy christmas angels. <33 yes, the holidays can be extremely lonely. for many of us (read: most), the holidays bring to light the fact that we never had the ‘perfect’ family that we dreamed about in our childhood fantasies (plot twist: there’s no such thing as perfect). it’s okay if today looks like lying on the floor with your AirPods listening to playlists to quiet your noisy mind; or binging movies to make you laugh, or cry, or reminisce, or contemplate why that letter to Hogwarts never arrived. it’s okay if you’re spending the day cuddling with your furbaby (or maybe you, like me, are spending the morning walking dogs at a shelter). it’s okay if you’re ordering pizza and burning cookies as opposed to carving turkey and devouring the perfect pumpkin pie. it’s also okay if you’re excited to spend time with your family. or if you’re barely tolerating their invasive questions and snarky comments and are counting down the seconds until they vacate the premises. today will take billions of different shapes for billions of different people, and each will simply be what it is. maybe not good, maybe not bad…just moments. take them for what they are, feel the way you need to feel, and move forward. ilysm.❤️

NOTD: ZOYA December 2023 Color of the Month Nail Lacquer in Vienna

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Vienna. Metallic Gold w/ Iridescent Microshimmer.

This shade right here? Literally just converted me to a gold lover. True story.

Vienna is a Metallic Gold w/ iridescent hex shimmer, irregular flakes, gold and iridescent microshimmer, and fine white pearl that gives off the most royal vibes I have ever seen in polish form. Like this? This right here is it. Literally no other metallic shades are needed if you have Vienna in your life - she is supreme. Formula was fantastic. I didn't expect opacity in 2 coats, but I achieved that so easily; and dry time was brilliant. This is one of those shades that is perfect for going glam or simply embracing as an amped up neutral. You need her!

Cherri is a blue-toned red creme that brings about visions of Rudolph's nose and mistletoe - yes, it is a perfect Christmas red! The formula for this one is breathtaking! Not only does it apply flawlessly, but its weartime is phenomenal! If you love reds, you need to add this one to your collection immediately!

The formula and finish for this one is v similar to that of Eleanor {also in this collection}; but the color is in a class of its own. I received so many compliments on this shade; and it is undoubtedly one of the the most perfect colors for fall into winter. This one is a must!

Jean is an iconic indigo periwinkle with holographic finish that gives denim-meets-Frozen vibes. This one is a showstopper that will keep all eyes on your tips. Formula here is flawless. Jean is very buildable; while I used two coats here, I could definitely see the color being even more intense with a third coat. Just saying. Highly recommend!

Precious is a feminine orchid mauve with micro rose gold flecks throughout that actually looks kind of amazing paired with cognac riding boots and oversized cream sweaters. This one is ultra-girly, and will seamlessly transition into the winter months, which I love. Formula was very easy to work with. This one was perhaps slightly thinner than some of the other shades in this collection; but overall a breeze to level.

ZOYA Enamored Group A Bundle Nail Polish Collection Swatches + Review

After the stunningness that was ZOYA's Enamored Group B Bundle Nail Polish Collection, I literally could not wait to try out the Enamored Group A Bundle Nail Polish Collection. Truth? I can't even tell you which bundle I preferred because they both had incredible colors and formulas; so you really have to go with your personal preference {or pick up both} - the choice is yours. Swatch time!

Eleanor is a Metallic Cinnamon Mahogany. Babes this. is. it. The nail color you need for Thanksgiving! Eleanor is a charming metallic cinnamon mahogany that just brings fall leaves, and pumpkin patches, and feasts to life. I found that this shade didn't wear as well as other Zoya shades in that it chipped in a few places, and tipwear wasn't great. But for your Thanksgiving festivities it will definitely make for a standout shade! This is 2 coats.

Frenchy is a Beige Pink Creme. Yes, Zoya is bringing us a neutral for fall. Frenchy is a fresh beige pink creme that is unlike what we typically see for autumn. Rather than deep, dark, and vampy, this pretty is subdued and minimalistic - perfect for the girl who prefers a more classic polish. The formula here is incredibly easy to work with and wears beautifully for multiple days. This is 2 coats.

Lennon is a Deep Teal w/ Scattered Holo. For my blue girls you are going to love this one for fall. Trust. Lennon is a flashy deep teal w/ scattered holo that feels highly bejeweled and brilliant. The scattered holo lends a midnight vibe to the deep teal and makes it so perfect for the season. Formula was fantastic here - I showed no tipwear or chips for the full week that I wore it. Bonus: it looks utterly lush in sunlight. This is 2 coats.


AVAILABILITY: ZOYA.

PRICE: $64.00 for the full-size, 6-piece collection; $12.00 for each full-size bottle

Pamela is a vampy dark imperial purple creme that is packed with posh personality and a not-quite-but-almost black vibe that is perfect for my ladies who love dark but don't want to enter goth territory. You have to be careful applying this one, as it slightly stains around the nailbed if you aren't precise; but overall it's easy to work with, and an absolute stunner!

Vera is a bright mulberry creme that is one of the more playful shades I've seen for fall. It has a bright undertone that gives it a touch of flirtiness that feels fun as we fully transition from summer into autumn. Like the rest of this collection, the formula here was splendiferous. No chips, no tipwear, just a touch of fading of brightness after 5 days of wear - which is to be expected. Definitely one of my all-time favorite purples. Loves it!

ZOYA Enamored Group B Bundle Nail Polish Collection Swatches + Review

NGL, the summer was full of pinks, so I was more than ready for the arrival of ZOYA's Enamored Group B Bundle Nail Polish Collection. Ladies, this collection is full of exquisite colors coupled with one of the best formulas I have experienced in quite some time. Though it is very purple driven; there is enough variety to capture any girls heart. Trust. Let's jump into the swatches!

Venus is a Rose Red Shimmer with Scattered Holo. There's something about this color that makes me think of Taylor Swift's Bejeweled? Idk, but I love it! Venus is a rose red shimmer with scattered holo that is basically the most stunning thing ever. Like I literally could not stop staring at my nails during the 8 days I wore it. This polish blew me away. Not only is it a OCW, but it also had phenomenal staying power - not a single chip during the entire time I had it on. So obsessed - you have no idea! This is 1 coat.

Brianna is a toasted pink creme that gives iced coffee meets ballet core vibes and i. am. here. for. it. NGL this one will look decadent coupled with cream-colored chunky knits and cognac riding boots. Formula here is perfection. It is the perfect consistency for a quick mani, and lasts up to 10 days chip-free. Highly recommend it to my neutral-loving ladies! This is 2 coats.

Twinklette is an ultra-glam rose gold holo with pink microshimmer that channels the Gilded Age with its glorious sparkle; yet manages to remain an amped-up neutral with its soft tones. Twinklette would make a gorgeous topper to a shade like Brianna; but alone it is equally as gorgeous. Yes, removal was a tiny bit difficult {glitter obvi}; but the wear time was phenomenal.

Alora is a bright cranberry creme that screams almost autumn. Out of all of the shades in the Beachy Brights collection, this one does the least for me because I'm just not a fan of red/cranberry shades, and this falls into that category. That said, the formula for Alora is magnificent. It wasn't a OCW like I thought it would be; but application was seamless, and there was no staining, so I consider that a win.

Ora is a dark blackberry creme that would be lush for fall into winter, but I'm actually digging the hint of dark for spring to summer manis. The formula for this one is super easy to work with - it doesn't gravitate to cuticles, and builds to a rich opacity easily. It does require 2 coats to avoid VNL, but they are fast dry and flawless. Highly recommend for year-round manis or pedis!

Terra is a light amethyst purple microshimmer that flashes pink and is super pretty, don't get me wrong. My qualm with it is that it applies very sheer {I legit could have used a third coat!}, and by week's end there was a lot of chipping - despite the fact that I didn't use my hands anymore than usual. Highly recommend if you love the color; but don't expect long-term wear - it's more like a 3 days and you're done shade.

Topless & Barefoot is a beige pink nude creme that gives me iced coffee vibes, which I am so here for because iced coffee is life! This one is creamy, and so incredibly easy to work with.

Though there was zero tipwear in a five-day period, I did find that, by day three of wearing, the pinky undertone kind of disappeared, creating more of a mannequin hands look, which I didn't expect. Still love it for tips and toes! It's definitely one of the prettiest nude-y shades out there!

ZOYA Beachy Brights Nail Polish Collection 2023 Swatches + Review

NGL neons don't typically garner my affections, but when I opened ZOYA's Beachy Brights & Gelie Base Bundle I was in awe. Babes, this collection is stunning, with a variety of shades to please every polished princess. All 6 of these shades dry matte; however, you are seeing them here with top coat to bring on the shine because matte and I don't love each other. Side note: I did not use underwear {white polish} as a base for any of these shades; but doing so may amplify the neon. Just saying. Now let's move on to the swatches!

Avani is a Bright Lemon Lime Green Creme. Can I just say that we need more nail colors like this one?! For reals though! Avani is a bright lemon lime green creme that caught my eye the second I opened my ZOYA package. If you love unconventional brights you're going to adore it as well! Avani is slightly darker IRL than photographs; but every bit as playful. This one is so much fun for bringing a touch of the tropics to your tips! And the formula is supercalifragifab so total win! This is 2 coats.

Yohanna is an Ultra-Bright Knockout Pink Creme. In honor of Barbie hitting theaters next month, I had to pull this bad boy out for a little show and tell.

Pluto is a Carolina Blue Creme. Ooh babes I love me a good bright blue polish, and this beauty goes hard! Pluto is a Carolina blue creme that invokes all of the 4th of July meets crashing ocean waves vibes. This shade y'all, so. good. Pluto was just a hair shy of being a OCW, but there was a teeny tiny bit of VNL, so it did require 2 coats. Not a big deal at all considering how fast dry this entire collection is! If you love a good blue, you need this beauty ASAP! This is 2 coats.

NOTD: ZOYA Beachy Brights Collection 2023 Nail Lacquer Collection in Avani

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Avani. Bright Lemon Lime Green Creme.

Can I just say that we need more nail colors like this one?! For reals though!

Avani is a bright lemon lime green creme that caught my eye the second I opened my ZOYA package. If you love unconventional brights you're going to adore it as well! Avani is slightly darker IRL than photographs; but every bit as playful. This one is so much fun for bringing a touch of the tropics to your tips! And the formula is supercalifragifab so total win!

NOTD: ZOYA Daydreaming Collection 2023 Nail Lacquer Collection in Tink

Two coats of ZOYA Nail Polish in Tink. Amaranth Magenta Microshimmer.

Is this a shade I see for summer? Not really. But...it is super fun and sparkly, and sometimes that's all that matters, amiright?!

Tink is an amaranth magenta microshimmer that is flirty and flashy {just like the fairy she's named after}. The formula here is super easy to work with - it dries fast and builds so nicely. Even better, it doesn't stain, or pose the type of removal probs seen with your typical glitter. If you're looking for something playful, this is definitely it!

NOTD: OPI Me, Myself, and OPI Nail Lacquer Collection in Silicon Valley Girl

Two coats of OPI Me, Myself, and I Nail Lacquer Collection in Silicon Valley Girl. Tangerine Orange Creme.

Is it even summer if you don't have at least one orange nail color in your arsenal?!

Silicon Valley Girl is a brilliant tangerine orange creme that will appeal to red lovers for the warmer months, as it has a blood orange feel that is deep and decadent yet 100% summer approved. Formula was flawless to work with, building opacity beautifully, and keeping away from cuticles. Loving this one for summer vacays!
