Zoya Earth Day Promo + Stuff!

Hey guys!! I have been uninspired lately and haven't been wearing much nail polish, thanks to lots of work and some peely nails. Thanks to my Essie Grow Stronger, though, they are just peeling a little bit, not peeling and then breaking my nail. So yay Essie!

ANYWAYS, I just placed my order for Zoya's Earth Day Promo! I got 6 colors (the minimum) plus shipping for $30.95! That's such a great deal! Did you guys order anything?! I still have my package from last year's promotion to send them polish....lmao.

I got Wednesday, Zuza, and Kimber from the new summer collections, Kissy from the holiday collection, and Maisie and Chloe from the fleck effects trio! I can't wait to get them!! There are a lot of layering options just between these six, so I am excited to try them out!

We just got a new store manager at my Starbucks and everything is a bit chaotic right now. Work is not my favorite place to be at the moment, hopefully everything will settle down soon so I will be happier! In the meantime I will continue to look forward to my trip to London on July 26th....less than 100 days! :)

And lastly, here are the videos from my last gymnastics meet! I am way happier with it than with my first meet! I added a harder skill to my floor routine which increased my start value and thus my final score, and I was much less wobbly on beam and only fell once! Bars was about the same, which is ok! I'll improve it next season :)

Beam is here!
Floor is here!
Bars is here!

And hopefully next year I can put a vault video! I didn't compete it this year!

Have a terrific week!!! :)

Essie - Trophy Wife!

Hey friends! Here's my second Essie polish I bought recently - it's Trophy Wife!

I've had a lemming for a nice teal color lately, so Trophy Wife caught my eye immediately! I actually just got Zoya Akyra right afterwards, and they are very nearly dupes - but they're both lovely so I'm happy to have them both!

Trophy Wife is a really nice dark teal, but not too dark. It has a lovely shimmer in it too! This was 3 coats, but you could get away with 2 if you're careful! I always err on the side of too many coats because inevitably there's a little patch I somehow miss or something like that!

I think the Essie bottle is too cute! I love the name etched into the glass, so cool, and makes it feel kind of expensive! Since these are from their drugstore line (same shades, but a few extras that are available specially at Walmart, etc) there was a little label on the side of the bottle as well, but I just peeled it right off!

See? Shimmer!

I recently picked up Sally Hansen crackle in Antiqued Gold - this worked WAY better than my OPI silver one, which, by the way, has completely hardened up. Very irritating....a big waste of my money. I only used it like three times! Anyways....it's a gorgeous golden shade, clearly gold, not silver like it sort of looks in this pic! If you find the Sally Hansen crackles, I'd suggest picking it up!

Essie - Turquoise & Caicos!

Hey everyone! You might recall not so long ago I was posting on facebook about picking up a couple new Essie polishes, since I had a coupon for $1 off at Walgreens! I liked two of them a lot, so I picked up one with my coupon then went over to Target and got the other with my gift card! Yay :) These are my first Essie polishes, so I wasn't sure what to expect - but I like them both!

The one I bought at Walgreens was....Turquoise and Caicos! It's a fabulous bright, light turquoise color. I was worried that it would be streaky, but it evened out okay! I think I did three coats here. I think this color is going to look AWESOME as a springtime mani or a summer pedicure! Maybe I'll throw it on soon before the heat leaves Texas as a last hurrah! Who am I kidding...the heat never leaves! (But not really....it gets freaking cold in December/January/February!)

I love it! What do you guys think?!

EDIT: Also, I went through my whole stash and got it up to date, then created a Google Document for it! If you look at the top and click on My Stash, the link to the document is there! It is organized by brand, and has links to the posts where I've swatched each color. (Except obviously not all of the polishes have a post....yet!) Check it out, it's awesome!
