I Went Naked...With My Nails!

Image
**Press Samples** Yup, I did it. I cut down all of my nails and started over a couple of months ago. I wanted to get some ridges filled and stop some cracking I had with this lovely winter weather. Zoya has a fantastic little line called NAKED MANICURE.  It consists of a base coat, perfector in a couple different shades and then a top coat. The perfector users diffusers, keratin, and reflective color pigments to create an illusion all while ensuring healing of your natural nail to help conceal imperfections.  I've been using this set for about 2 months now and I have been able to grow my nails back out all while keeping them strong and healthy. I will continue to use this system in between manicures just to help continue that strengthening process and for a little refresher.

Now that I have been able to try these- some for the first time- I'm going to dish it all on my feelings!   FRESH   Sugar Advanced Therapy Lip Treatment In the shade DREAM, I love every time I see these in my box. They are great to throw in your purse when you need a quick pick me up through out the day. The sweet thing about this product is that it helps prevent those fine lines and help improve the softness all while giving you a little pink color tint.  This product is a LOVE Josie Maran  Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter  I looooove to try new moisturizers.

You can't get passed a product, let alone put it on your face, if it smells horrible. The other plus? This product is cho

**Press Samples** Zoya just popped their Fall 2018 collection and it's pretty awesome! It's one of my favorite collections, well, because PURPLE! It has so many purple shades that I can't even stand it! I couldn't pick a favorite, so if you could... please let me know! LEIGHTON Zoya describes this as a blackened aubergine. Aubergine is like an eggplant shade.  This shade gave my camera a little trouble, but I can't wait to start wearing this on the regular!  RACHAEL Zoya describes this as a mulberry, berry creme.  I have to chuckle at the double berry! It's a sweet dark wine beauty.  The vamp meter is going off with this baby! MAEVE Grape jelly! Maeve reminds me of an awesome grape jelly color.  Still representing a vibrant purple, the dusty pull brings this color back into the perfect fall collection. GARDNER A beautiful periwinkle color with a multishimmer finish is what makes up gardner. I'm defi
