Zoya Haul

About a week ago, Zoya had a BOGO sale on their website for all account holders! I previously owned two nail polishes from Zoya.  I had always meant to buy more, but the colors that I wanted were always out of stock at Ulta, and I didn't want to pay shipping online. When I saw this BOGO deal, I just couldn't pass it up! 

A single Zoya nail polish retails for $8, but I got six polishes and only paid $24! Meaning, I only had to pay for three polishes, and free shipping was also included. I would've had to pay $48 plus shipping without this sale, and that's just crazy! 

The Shades I Chose (from left to right):

• Jolene 
• Ibiza
• Carmen
• Wednesday
• Kennedy
• Robyn

Packaging: 
The packaging was extremely secure, I was actually surprised! I've never experienced such careful packaging before. I really appreciate it when companies care about how they ship out their products. 

Everything came in this huge box, which is funny since all that I ordered were six little polishes! 

After opening the box and sifting through the packaging foam, I found another box with the nail polish! It's really cool that the polishes were secure in their own box, because most of the time makeup companies don't consider packaging to be a big deal. 

 I like how each nail polish has its own little compartment. It allows them to stand upright and stay in perfect condition. No scratches here! 

I was also sent some color spoons! The colors are (from left to right): Katherine, Paloma, and Frida. I'm really liking Frida.. I'm putting it on my wishlisht! 

Here's another set of color spoons from the Designer and Diva collection that also came with my order for free! I think color spoons are a great idea for people who don't want to buy a whole bottle of nail polish without seeing the color first, but they did raise the price on them to 50 cents each, a little too much in my opinion.

This was my favorite thing that they sent me for free: a catalogue with all of their colors! Now I'm going to be tempted to buy them all..  ;) 

Overall, I'm very pleased with my order! I've been wanting to buy some new Zoya polish for a while now. They're so smooth, dry quickly, and have countless colors to choose from. Plus, zoya.com is always having great sales like this one! Their packaging should seriously win an award, and they even send cute little extras. Oh yeah, and they gave me a coupon for free shipping on my next order! I'm definitely going to be ordering from them again online soon. 

Nail of the Week: Pink Bubblegum

Hello everyone, I'm so happy that I picked up this shade at Ulta the other day. I know that my Target carries  a few shades of Sally Hansen Extreme Wear, but I've never seen this one! It's a cool toned pink that reminds me so much of Pink Nouveau lipstick from MAC. Maybe that's why I subconsciously picked it off the shelf! Haha.. 

Bubblegum pink is a cool toned pink, cream finish nail polish. This is two coats. 

Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polishes have some of the cutest colors! I don't feel guilty for ever picking one of these up because they're only $2.50 at Target and I believe around $2.60 at Ulta. You really can't go wrong with that!

On a random note, look at these delicious blackberries I ate this morning! Mmm.. 

Nail of the Week: Cute as a Button

This whole week I've been addicted to coral! When I was looking through my nail polish collection, I re-discovered my Essie "Cute as a Button" polish. I bought it last summer, and maybe used it once or twice. I hate it when that happens. Nonetheless, I'm glad that I found it! 

I love the cream finish, they are my favorite type of polish. Plus, creams are super easy when it's time to remove. This is two coats and I didn't use a top coat, because I want to see how long it lasts! I'm guessing about a week. 

This is one of my favorite polishes for the summer! I like that it can either be worn sheer or opaque. I prefer an opaque finish, and this only took two coats. Some polish takes three coats, and I hate that! If you're looking for a fun color or a pretty coral, this is for you! 

Summary:
Color: bright coral 
Coats: 2
Finish: cream 
Price:  $7.80 at Target
