Hello, readers of ColorMeSoCrazy! I'm Sara from Born For A Storm and I'm here to show you two recent Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer products that I'm loving. The glitter is especially perfect for this time of year! I purchased both of these polishes myself.



That's probably the worst picture I've ever taken in my life. Sorry. Onto the swatches of the polishes, which actually have good photos!


  One Gray-t Year. 
This polish was created to celebrate Blue-Eyed Girl Lacquer's first year of business! (And fun fact, it was named by Jessica of Polished10!) This is a " a matte grey polish with rainbow micro-flakies. It dries to a satin finish." This polish is exactly as described! I'm showing it here with two coats of polish and base and top coat. As pretty as I find satin finishes, I can't deal with it out in real life. I want everything SHINY. So I topcoat all the things. You can see the flakies really well in the bottle shot. They are slightly less apparent on the nail but way more apparent than my stupid pictures make it seem, if that makes sense. The formula on this was perfect and easy to work with! Get Too Close To The Flame. 
This is Julie's June LE polish and I CANNOT DEAL WITH HOW PRETTY IT IS. GTCTTF is "a clear base packed with pink micro-flakies, watermelon pink hexes and dots, and hot orange hexes and stars." I'm wearing one coat with some extra dabbed on to fill the spaces. This applied really easily and I didn't have to fuss to get glitter out of the bottle, which is always appreciate. I don't think I have any glitters in this color family so I was really excited when this beauty came in the mail! I love that the pink micro-flakies really popped in the macro shot... they are incredible in real life. If you have a chance to pick this color up, DO IT. I want to put it over everything!

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?
