Olympic Medal by Alter Ego Nail Enamel

By -
So I won a fantastic prize from Alter Ego Nail Enamel  a couple weeks ago. I got three polishes from her shop including Olympic Medal. This polish arrived with such great timing since the Olympics were happening. So, now that my regular TV schedule is back I am happy to show you this polish. I am hoping the get the other two that I won, Air Transport Auxiliary Pilot and Salmon Smoker, on shortly to share with you. I have never tried a polish from this shop before so I am kind of excited.

Usually I don't like this kind of micro glitter, but I have changed up my base coat routine that it made me love it. How? Well..... The combination that I am using makes NOTHING stick to my nails. It's partly annoying and partly funny. I have had this problem before with some other base coat combos and it makes me angry when I am at work and an entire nail of polish slides right off. Then I have 9 beautifully polished nails and 1 naked nail. haha.

For this design, it make clean up suuuuuper easy. All of my polish just slipped right off. It was nice because usually I would be soaking my nails for a few minutes to get this type of glitter off. Anyway, enjoy this beauty and stay tuned for more from Alter Ego Nail Enamel.

I Went Naked...With My Nails!

**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.

Zoya Pinks! Comparison Post

**Press Samples** I guess I have been in the testing mood. This time, pinks. Not just any old pinks, but Zoya pinks! With the release of Wanderlust, I got thinking about all the different pinks Zoya had and could they really all be different? I grabbed all the similar looking pinks and went to swatch town. I used 8 different pinks from my vast Zoya collection. I even snuck in a matte!  As  you can see, while some of them are seriously similar. I think Byrdie and Nana are most similar. I loooove all of these pinks and this little comparison experiment, made me literally want to wear one each week! Maybe a little girly pick me up?!?! What do you think of these pinks? Do you have a favorite? Is there any other Zoya pinks you would add to this?
