Zoya - Mimi

Hi, friends!

Sorry it's been a few days. I had a lot of trouble taking good, accurate pictures of today's polish, Zoya - Mimi. This is one of the three polishes I picked up for free from their recent "sale." It's a beautiful purple shimmer!

It's not as blue as it looks here. It's more shimmery than it looks here. Now you see why I was so scared to take pictures of non-creme polishes. I also don't really get why my pinky always looks like the polish is see-through. It doesn't look like that in real life, promise. Um, in full disclosure, I tried to "airbrush" my cuticles a bit, but they still look gross.

Anyway, I kinda realized that dark colors aren't my thing at the moment. My nails are longer than they've been since high school, and I prefer lighter tones to match the length. Darker colors look a little too vampy right now. Oh, well. I popped a coat of Orly - Shine On Crazy Diamond over Mimi yesterday, but I didn't really take a picture. It's a clear polish chock full of holographic glitter. This is the only picture I took all day (with my Blackberry), but I'm mostly sharing it to show off my cool new ring! You can see a little holo goodness shining in the light.













Thanks for reading!

Free Zoya!


Howdy!

I already received my three FREE Zoya nail polishes in the mail!!! If you are a Facebook fan of Zoya, you already know about this. Once they reached 20,000 followers, they released a code for everyone to get three free polishes. There's still time to get yours! Visit http://www.facebook.com/zoyanailpolish for the code! Pay only shipping.

After agonizing for days, I chose Mimi (purple sparkle), Ivanka (green sparkle) and Lo (pink). Lo is the closest color Zoya offers to Pantone's "Color of the Year" for 2011, Honeysuckle! That's why I chose it. And yes, it is named after Lo from The Hills. Here's the press release from Pantone about Honeysuckle.

I haven't tried these three colors yet, but I'll post pictures when I do! I own four other Zoya colors, and they are GREAT quality, and beautiful colors. I definitely recommend the brand!
