Nails: DEALS AND STEALS

Pretty purple hues for spring.

I normally look into broadening my horizons by scouting out nail polishes after Christmas. Last year Milani had a decent sale at CVS Pharmacy.  This year, also at CVS, Nicole by OPI Kardashian nail polishes were fifty percent off.  I have been really wanting to try some of the Kardashian line when the first came out, but could not bring myself to shell out eight bucks on one. I picked up two purple shades. Having an assortment of mostly pink shades already, I wanted to try something else; and purple is perfect for spring (haha, can't you tell I am ready for warm weather?! It is frigid up here in Indiana!).  One shade, a lighter purple shimmer is called "One Big Happy Fame-ILY" and the other dark purple shimmer, almost black, is named "Smile for the Glam-era." I haven't tried them yet, as I am leary about using certain products during pregnancy, but I have opened them and they are stunning.  I have high hopes they will wear well.

The shades are breathtaking! Thank you so much Honey for telling me about this STEAL!!

   A couple weeks before I stumbled upon this sale, a dear friend of mine, Honey (at http://www.youtube.com/user/destne146, http://www.honeygirlsworld.com/blog.html) contacted me to let me know if I was interested, she had a code for three free nail polishes at http://www.zoya.com. The only hitch was that I would have to pay shipping, and considering each polish alone cost originally eight dollars, that was a bargain.  I had never heard of them before, but after I was introduced to their site I started noticing their presence in beauty magazines that I love (such as Lucky, Glamour and INStyle).
   Once on their site, I was almost overwhelmed by all their options. They have almost every shade conceiveable.  I gravitated toward one shade, originally because of it's name "Tori."  My daughter Victoria-Tori is her nickname  and it is a beautiful deep pink. Then I went with another called "Zuza" since I have been on the hunt for a decent teal color for summer.  The past few years I have watched that shade come back every summer season, so I don't think it is going anywhere. Then I saw "Tiffany" and was enraptured.  The beautiful pink-gold chrome beckoned to me, or so it seemed.
   The order took about a week to arrive. Everything came nice and neat and intact. So far I have tried Tori, and since these polishes do not have many of the toxins others have, my daughter and I both got to play with that shade. Even the box was environmentally friendly. What can I say, I'm one pleased momma!
