NOTD: ZOYA December 2025 Color of the Month Nail Lacquer in Tinsel
Talk about ending the year with a sparkly bang!
Tinsel is a Silver Holographic that is showstopping and an absolute must have for New Years Eve. You can wear this shade two ways: as a topper over another polish; or, as you see here, on its own as a glittery masterpiece. Application requires minimal manipulation of the glitter as it is jam-packed; and while it can take a bit longer to remove, I highly recommend wearing it solo as this bad boy is jawdropping!

NOTD: essie Nail Polish in Berry Naughty
That high-shine finish is sending me!
Berry Naughty is a deep berry creme that simply screams holiday season. The shade is rich and sumptuous, blending burgundy and oxblood together to create a blackened red that is both vamply and elegant. The formula here is slightly thin, and gravitates to cuticles; however, it's also v opaque, so it builds beautifully. So obsessed with this beauty for Christmas week!

NOTD: ZOYA Muse Fall 2025 Collection Nail Lacquer in Zarin
As a pink girly I can never resist a good rose gold, and this beauty does not disappoint!
Zarin is a Rose Gold Glitter that giggles and dances on your fingertips what with her shimmer and sparkle and shine that is simply impossible to resist. This one feels absolutely perfect for winter; yet maintains a neutrality through its subtle demeanor that would have her fitting seamlessly into all seasons. Two coats gives you full opacity; but if you want to go even deeper, a third coat would likely bring out the pinky tones a bit more. Love this beauty for December into January!

NOTD: ZOYA Muse Fall 2025 Collection Nail Lacquer in Starling
OMG this color!
Starling is a Periwinkle w/ Pink Iridescent Glitter that would make for the most decadent New Year's Eve mani! Formula was great with this shade; however, I do recommend doing thinner coats, as the heavy glitter content can create gloppiness if you're being too heavy-handed. Though I dig it for NYE, Starling would truly look stunning anytime during the winter months for that ice queen vibe.

NOTD: ZOYA Muse Fall 2025 Collection Nail Lacquer in Octavia
Is it even December if you're not decking your nails with sparkling colors?
Octavia is a Shimmering Violet Magenta Pearl that brings the most sophisticated kiss of sparkle to your person. I originally wore this shade for Halloween because it seriously fit the vibe; but it works just as seamlessly for the chilly yet celebratory Christmas season. As with literally all ZOYA polishes, the formula here was top-notch, drying almost immediately and lasting for more than a week. Loves it!

NOTD: ZOYA November 2025 Color of the Month Nail Lacquer in Phoenix
Happy Thanksgiving week babes!
Phoenix is a Deep Crimson w/ Fine Gold Microglitter that is so perfectly magical for November! This one is a shapeshifter that gleams golden and orange when it hits the light, making it such a chameleon of a nail color. I instantly picture Harry Potter and Hogwarts whenever I think of a Phoenix; and since Thanksgiving Week is when I marathon the HP movies, it feels like this shade was made for this time of year. Phoenix earns all of the heart eyes!

NOTD: ZOYA Muse Fall 2025 Collection Nail Lacquer in Velma
Every single time I say the name of this nail color I think of Velma from Scooby Doo. But I digress...
Velma is a Sienna Red Creme that is just lush for the autumn months. I lovelovelove this shade for November and the season of giving because it truly bottles one of the most beautiful shades for fall, and presents it in polish form. Velma has such incredible longevity - even with working a lot with your hands, this shade received nary a chip or even tipwear, remaining almost perfect for the 6 days that I wore it. If you're seeking a fall red, Velma is your girl.

NOTD: ZOYA Muse Fall 2025 Collection Nail Lacquer in Hebe
This is one of those shades that is ultra-feminine and soft yet manages to seamlessly fit into the chill of fall. #iykyk.
Hebe is a Rosy Beige Nude Creme that is stunning for the girls who love a demure shade to pair with their cognac riding boots and chunky knits. Though more pink than white, this one is incredibly angelic, and gives the perfect accent to a your nails but better look. Hebe's formula is flawless, applying immaculately, and lasting for 5+ days. If sweet is your style, this is the one you need to snag!

NOTD: ZOYA Muse Fall 2025 Collection Nail Lacquer in Emery
Can we take a moment to discuss how absolutley luxe this shade is?
Emery is a Blackened Espresso Gold Velvet Metallic that feels expensive and sophisticated while remaining completely accessible at the very same time. NGL this one surprised me - in the bottle it looks forest green with gold shimmer, but on the nail it is exactly what you see here. The lasting power of Emery is such a draw - this beauty literally stayed intact for 7 days, without so much as tipwear! Such a winner if you want a long-lasting mani with class. Obsessed!

NOTD: OPI Fall Nail Lacquer Collection in Penny Loafer Lane
A moment for for the playful moniker and nod to one of my all-time favorite movies.
Penny Loafer Lane is a burnt caramel creme with a hint of marigold undertone that is pure perfection for the ber months. This shade is everything that a fall polish should be, and is guaranteed to be the pièce de résistance of your sweater weather fits. Formula is unbeatable, and the long-lasting shine makes this one an amazing add to your polish collection. One of my 2025 faves for sure!

NOTD: ZOYA October 2025 Color of the Month Nail Lacquer in Tempest
This color is such a slay for spooky season!
Tempest is a Blackened Green w/ Golden Shimmer that manages to be gothic yet glamorous at the very same time due to the depth and sparkle that make it feel oh so necessary for the autumn months. This stunner is a ocw, reaching full opacity in just one swipe; with a staying power that will see you through trick or treats and everything in between. Definitely one of my all-time favorite releases from ZOYA!

10.13.2025
NOTD: OPI Fall Nail Lacquer Collection in Baggy Jean Baby
Cheers to an unexpected yet oh so fun shade for autumn!
Baggy Jean Baby is a dusty blue creme that is a literal dream for my denim girlies. This one has a vintage vibe due to its washed out coloring that looks so lovely on the nail. Two coats is all you need for full opacity; and the staying power is unreal. Baggy Jean Baby is one you will find yourself reaching for year-round, so this is your sign to grab a bottle!
10.06.2025
NOTD: LA Colors Gel-Like Nail Polish in Topless
Gimme all the brick red polishes for fall!
Topless is a cinnamon-esque brick red creme that reminds me a lot of OPI's Slip Dressed Up (just slightly lighter in color), and I am here for it. Babes, this is such a brilliant addition to your polish collection because it brings to like that fall-perfect pumpkin feel that is simply irresistible. Formula here was easy breezy to work with, and lasted a full week. Grab a bottle!
9.29.2025
NOTD: OPI Fall Nail Lacquer Collection in Grunge Queen
Spooky, scary skeletons...
Grunge Queen is a black with red shimmer that gives all of the Twilight meets Vampire Diaries vibes. Y'all, I am absolutely loving this color - it is so incredibly fun for spooky season; the red shimmer being a subtle yet killer addition to the black. Grunge Queen is a survivor, lasting 7 days without chips or tipwear, and garnering so many coompliments. Highly recommend this beauty!
9.22.2025
NOTD: LA Colors Gel-Like Nail Polish in Mademoiselle
I will never say no to a mauve nail color once the weather cools down.
Mademoiselle is a feminine mauve creme that screams very demure, very mindful and is a literal must for your polish rotation. Mademoiselle applies beautifully and smoothly. While it was a little flirty with my cuticles, it overall was unfussy and the perfect unobtrusive shade to match just about anything in your wardrobe. Loves it!
9.15.2025
NOTD: OPI Fall Nail Lacquer Collection in Slip Dressed Up
What a stunning shade to get you pumped for fall!
Slip Dressed Up is a beautiful brick red creme that looks a bit like melted milk chocolate on the nail, and is every bit as yummy! The color takes on more of a brick hue in sunlight; but is every bit as enchanting no matter when you look at it. The formula for Slip Dressed Up is so spectacular - it practically paints itself (true story). This one is long-lasting, fast-drying, and an absolute breeze to work with. Definitely one of my new faves for the autumn season!
9.08.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Tutti Frutti Collection Nail Lacquer in Mindi
This is such a fun shade for my red lovers!
Mindi is a Crimson Red w/ Blue Shimmer that feels ever so slightly like a crelly, with the opacity of a standard creme. This one leans watermelon-meets-strawberry, so while it has that rich crimson feel, its vibe is just lovely for summertime. Formula here is fantastic. It's fast-dry, long-lasting, and just superb for my red girlies!

9.01.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Nail Lacquer in Chelsea
Such a cutie shade for the month of May!
Chelsea is a Powdered Blush Creme that is the perfect little spring thing for tips and toes. This one looked far more nudey/beige in the bottle, so I was pleasantly surprised to see how blush-toned it actually appeared on the nail. This one runs on the thin side, so you definitely want to wipe excess product off the brush before application; but overall such a perfect pick if you love the Bubble Bath family.

8.25.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Naturel 6: Sparkling Collection Nail Lacquer in Scotti
NGL this may be my all-time least favorite ZOYA shade. Womp womp.
Scotti is a Biscotti Putty Pink w/ Pink and Rose Gold Microglitter that felt v boring on the nail. I expected more of a white/creamy shade, but after a day or two, the color darkened, and read very much nudey/putty that is too mannequin hands to be attractive. Formula-wise I also wasn't a fan...this one flaked and chipped in less than 2 days, and showed evident tipwear almost immediately. As much as I love ZOYA, this one is a pass.

8.18.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Tutti Frutti Collection Nail Lacquer in Sunday
Now this, ladies, is a truly electrifying shade.
Sunday is a Rose Metallic w/ Blue Shimmer that packs big punch with her metallic tone. This beauty is bright and brilliant bringing both bold and shimmery color that works for summertime and beyond. Formula was a breeze to work with; and dry-time for this stunner was practically instant. Love this one for a sizzling mani!

8.11.2025
NOTD: essie Nail Polish in Blanc
"She's an icon. She's a legend. She is the moment.".
Blanc is a bright white creme that 100% encapsulates that iconic Wendy Williams quote. This was my first time using Blanc, so I had no idea how powerful she truly is; but...wipe the brush on the lip to avoid dripping, and she will be your white creme OCW. Staying power is unreal; and that bright white hue never dulls. Grab this one if white polish is your thing girlies!
8.04.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Nail Lacquer in Maxine
This color y'all...I'm screaming.
Maxine is a Poppy Red Creme that feels so fresh and flirty and fun for spring. The pinky undertone lends a brightness to the red that is so versatile; but it's the formula that legit takes the cake. I wore this shade for a full week without so much as a single chip, or sign of tipwear, making it such an amazing choice for tips and toes for your next vacay. Highly recommend!

Yohanna is a blue-toned pink that is blindingly bright and will leave you staring at your nails all. day. long.

7.28.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Tutti Frutti Collection Nail Lacquer in Tiggy
I may be semi over pinks for the time being, but this shade was definitely ripe enough to catch my eye.
Tiggy is a Watermelon Red w/ Gold Shimmer that will speak to the pink and red girlies! This glamorous hue has gold shimmer throughout that lends multi-dimensional depth; while the formula itself is absolutely incredible. Not only does it self-level, but it lasts through so. much. Cleaning, moving, packing, cooking, organizing...you name it and she is a survivor. Definitely one of my new favorite shades for summer!

7.21.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Naturel 6: Sparkling Collection Nail Lacquer in Cleo
I def wanted to love this shade more, but it just didn't happen. Le sigh.
Cleo is a Pinky Coral w/ Fine Pink and Gold Microglitter that, in theory, sounds stunning; but on the nail was underwhelming. I found the color to read more baby pink with v little visible microglitter; and the formula itself was thick and not super user friendly. NGL it is a v feminine and flirty shade if that's what you're seeking, but it wasn't what I was looking for. Womp womp.

7.14.2025
NOTD: ZOYA Tutti Frutti Collection Nail Lacquer in Capri
I knew I was going to love this color, and she did. not. disappoint.
Capri is a Seafoam Green Creme that is like a mix of ZOYA's Boo and a rich turquoise. This one photographs lighter than she is - she gives deeper teal vibes irl; but her opacity and depth is just unreal. This beauty survived cooking, cleaning, and organizing with not so much as a chip, so she will def survive your summer vacay. Love her for tips and toes!

7.07.2025
NOTD: ella+mila Love Nail Polish Collection in Pure Love
Another day, another white nail polish.
Pure Love is a bright white creme that has been my go-to over the past few weeks. Aside from being stunning, Pure Love is just so. easy to use. Yes, application requires multiple coats, but the formula itself is long-lasting, and practically chip and tipweaar proof. I love this one because it's just so chic for summer or year-round. Highly, highly recommend.
