Zoya FeiFei

 During one of Zoya's sales a month or so ago my good friend, Steph from Imperfectly Painted, offered to get me a polish! We frequently swap polish, so we always have each other's backs when it comes to polish hunting and such! Anyways, I asked if she'd snag FeiFei for me! I got it from her a few weeks ago, and I'm happy to say that I'm in love!
 
Zoya FeiFei. I used three thin coats.
In my opinion, FeiFei is a little hard to describe. It's any icy blue polish with intense gold shimmer, but it also has some pink/purple subtle shimmer that likes to make an appearance every so often.

This polish really looks 100 times better in person!

This polish is pretty much the prettier sister of Zoya Crystal and the distant cousin of Zoya Noel!

Going Nude!

Here's another polish I received in that HUGE Milani bag from the meetup!


This is two coats of Milani A Rose Mylady.

I have been really into nudes lately, so I LOVE this color. It's got a nice pink base to it. I believe this color is new to Milani for spring, but I do not see it on their site.

When I first saw this polish, it reminded me of a color that I already had...so I thought I'd do a quick comparison.

The color it reminded me of was Zoya Pandora.

Index finger and Ring finger: Zoya Pandora. Middle finger and Pinky: Milani A Rose Mylady.

As you can see, even though they are similar, A Rose Mylady is definitely more pink than Pandora. Pandora is more of a truer nude, in my opinion, because it matches skin tone better.

I really love both of these colors though. They are great to have if you have a job that you can't wear really bright colors to.

Are any of you finding that you like to wear nudes? Or do you despise them? Tell me your opinions!

Spreadin' the love Sundays!

Ok everyone, I had the idea that every Sunday I am going to do a post about someone I love! It'll either be a friend of mine or a family member, and I am going to somehow relate it to nail polish! Like maybe I'll post a color that reminds me of them or a design!

For my first Spreadin' the love Sunday I decided to write about my cousin that  I mentioned yesterday, Brynn. She is two years older than me and we are super close! We are oddly alike in the way we act and think. When we're together we get on everyone's nerves because we are super obnoxious, but I love it <3

Anyways, Brynn has been obsessed with the color "mustard yellow" for awhile now and yesterday she mentioned an AWESOME nail idea. She said she wanted to paint all of her nails gray except for her ring fingers and then paint her ring fingers mustard yellow! So after we were done laying by the pool we went to Sally's to hunt for the perfect yellow. We found Nina Ultra Pro Like Butta! It was perfect.


Now, not only do these nails feature Brynn's fav color at the moment, they incorporate one of her fav nail polishes! Zoya Dove! As far as nails go, these are beyond perfect at representing what reminds me of Brynn!

Here are her nails:

Another plus to these nails are that they match her favorite pair of Toms :)

We both used two coats of Dove and three coats of Like Butta. Like Butta wasn't too streaky, but it wasn't surprising that we need three coats because yellows are usually finicky like that. I also adore the name of this polish because of the reference to Saturday Night Live.

I hope all of you like this new feature I'll be doing, I'm really excited about it!
And of course, thanks Bree for the amazing nail idea, Love you <3 !
