Zoya Tracie In The Sun & The Shade

Posted by Unknown on Monday, April 30, 2012


Zoya Tracie is a faded, yellow-toned pistachio green with delicate silvery shimmer for a frosted pearl finish."  Nice formula that only needs 2 coats. I love the color but I'm not a huge fan of the frost finish so I'll be passing this one along to a friend.

mani, award, big news, nail sets, & needed suggestions

Posted by Unknown

hiii :D as the title says, here is my mani.



i did this mani about two weeks ago so i cant even start naming off the polishes i used, whoops.

continuing with the title of this post, an award!~ im both thankful and honored to be considered a 'top nail site' by frugaldad. click this link to check out the rest of the list.

alright, moving on, big news! :D well, theres more than just one news to share, so i'll share the smaller news first.

im looking into buying a new camera! a lot of people have been asking for tutorials and my current camera records horrrrrible quality videos. i've been doing some research on cameras and i've narrowed my lists of possible cameras down to a few but im definitely still up for suggestions~ im not looking for a big ol fancy camera. i just need something that is of decent size, good to take pictures of nails & to take around and take pictures of whatever, records videos in niiice quality [for tutorials! :D], and is of decent price. $350-$400 will be my price cap. so yes, any suggestions?

next order of business, in September, im going to New York for a weekend with my sister & friend. it'll be our first time there .. and we already have this huuuuuuge list of things we want to do, places we want to see, and restaurants we want to try ... but i still want to ask you guys for any suggestions of things to do, places to visit, and restaurants to eat at. suggestions are most definitely welcomed :)

and lastly, the biggest news to share ... i am ever so happy to share that i am going to Thailand for 2 weeks in December for a missions trip! :DDDD i’ll be going with a bunch of other people from our church, luckily, my older sister and good friends are going as well. this will be such an amazing opportunity and yet nerve-wrecking at the same time. it will truly be a life changing event and im sooo excited :D

and finally, nail sets. [the nail sets kind of relate to my big news :P] so, as i mentioned before in a post a while ago, i was gunna start selling nail sets. i figured this would be the perfect time to start selling because i have so many things planned right now ... that means i have to be saving a lot! i have an etsy shop and a paypal account but im not exactly sure how to use them :P someone also suggested to sell the nail sets through facebook [meaning i post the pictures of the nail sets on fb & then whoever wants to buy it can message me and we'd figure out payment method through there] .. idk. whatever will make things easiest. any suggestions?

alright, i guess this is it for this post. sorry i pushed everything into one post. i just wanted to tell you so badly :P

have a good one!,
< 3 KATRINA

Freshly Squeezed Zoya Blogger Collection Swatches!

Posted by Unknown

See the juicy, versatile jellies in action! 





"Kate, inspired by The Small Things, is a pinkish grapefruit jelly. It looks amazing on the nail and is my favorite from the collection. Kate is pretty unique when it comes to other jellies in my collection. It is the perfect blend of pink and orange. This color was so hard to photograph! It was most color accurate in the shade."


"This set is completely juicy and on trend.  Belle layers fabulously over the other two, and you could probably do a great ombre mani (see below, it reminds me of ice cream!) with the three. A must have!"

"To be honest, I don’t know WHICH one is my favorite because I absolutely adore all 3 and they will be my go-to this Summer! If you haven’t picked one up, go do so NOW."

Weekly Giveaway Roundup

Posted by Unknown

I love giveaways. Each week I'll post giveaways that I think are awesome! I'm trying to catch any giveaway that has nail polish & I always post them on the Monday before they close. I figure some publicity towards the end of the entry period is a good idea, so don't worry that I've forgotten yours if I don't post it immediately! On the other hand, I know that I will occasionally miss a giveaway or two. If I miss yours, please know that it was accidental and nothing personal!

I've decided to note which giveaways aren't open internationally. The default will be open worldwide, meaning I'll only note if they have restrictions.

NAIL POLISH & MORE
MAKEUP & SKINCARE
  • Body & Soul is giving away Reviva Labs skincare products!! Ends 5/1. *US only

Please feel free to post your giveaways in the comments of the Weekly Giveaway Roundup posts! Let's keep them all on these posts and not on regular posts.

Thanks for reading!
