MY FIRST ZOYA (( MARINA ))

I had never tried ZOYA before, but I've being reading a lot of reviews on ZOYA polishes and I stumbled across some really nice colors, so I went ZOYA shopping.. lol :D

This baby is called MARINA by ZOYA

( note the sky reflected on the bottle :D perfect touch to the beautiful color )

MARINA is a amazing blue-greyish tone, with tiny purple,silver and gold sparkles, this color is amazing for fall time, and I believe it suits any skin tone. Like I mentioned above I had never had the chance to try a ZOYA nail polish IDK why lol. The formulation and consistency of the product is ccreamy BUT not as creamy as Julep. It still glides on nicely. The brush is alright , the level of pigmentation on the product is good but not as pigmented as Julep, you need at least 3 coats ( maybe it varies from color to color ). I will deff. re-purchase a ZOYA nail polish I believe they are worth it but if you make me pick Ill pick Julep over any :D sorry its just the best polish for me , or the one that works for me the best Im not saying other brands are bad or maybe Ill get a Julep color that will make me change my mind. This is my honest opinion at the moment. 

Overall ZOYA is a good product worth the $, GR8 color I LOVE MARINA :D .

NAIL-FILES 101: CUTICLE REMOVER ( DISOLVER )

Hello beauties well as many of us know cuticles can be a pain in the bootey , I feel it marks the difference from a GR8 nail polish application from a "messy" looking one, but if you can pull of a GR8 nail polish application with cuticles , OMG youre my new hero.

I honestly would only pushem back with an orange stick and done-so. Until I decided TODAY is the day I need to get rid of them now, so I went on a journey to get something to get'em out , Walmart was my best bet lol, I went straight to the nail-care aisle and while I was trying not to look over to the nail polish section I saw a huge SALLY HANSEN section that honestly had never gotten my attention before, I mean I have purchased some stuff from that brand in the past but Id never taken a look so deep into it. I saw some cutile removing cream, oil and a gel. I was reading all the specs on all of them and decided that de GEL was the once I wanted to try.WHY? I decided to grab it because the box said " DISSOLVE cutiles in 15 SECONDS " I was likee yeiii , got home and did exactly what the box said , which was to put on the product on your cuticles for 15 seconds and after that to gently push the cuticle back and remove the excess product with soap water.

The product worked really well , if you need something effective to remove cuticles and are maybe in a hurry or just want to try something different try ( ( Sally Hansen Cuticle Dissolver ) )

STARTING FALL WITH "ZOE" by: JULEP

ZOE 
Description from the JULEP website: A zesty, smoky burnt umber.
Ok now in my words :D
What a better way to kick-start your "fall" season than to be rite on trend with a orangy-metallic-copperish nail polish. Its just like having fall leaves at your fingertips. 
The consistency of the polish is super creamy and it glides on the nail AMAZING as usual on Julep nail polish. 


The color is really vibrant and it suits every skin tone ( personal thought ). This polish came in my Julep Maven box, if youre not familiar with what Julep Maven is I will link below my Blog on Julep Maven. Once I got it I was kinda not happy because ZOE was so not a color I would pick just out of the blue. On my " I have nothing to do episode " I decided to change my nail polish and I was like 
"lets give it a shot". Let me tell you I was beyond impressed on the outcome, the color amazed me now I can say I can eat my "thoughts" because I really loved the color. Deff. I proved myself that YOU CANT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER.
Here are some swatches on different types of light, hope your girls like it and sorry If theres any booboos on my nails I try my best :D

NAIL-FILES 101

Every woman likes well-manicured nails, but in "real life" theres many factors why women have MANY not so good nail days: work, not enough time, laudry, too many chores, kids etc....

Nice looking nails makes a real difference in ones hands, they look clean, younger and simply it gives thats little something to make an outfit pop. Beauty comes hand - hand with maaaaannny requirements : to always keep them looking nice, no chips on the nail polish have them looking EVEN, and the list goes on.

Its really nice once in a while to go and have your nails done , but honestly in the long run its really expensive. The "regular" mani ranges from $24+ escalating to the lower 100s. Just for a polish that lets be honest it doesn't matter how GREAT you take care of your nails but it WONT LAST for more than 2 weeks and Im going to an extreme with that guesstimate.

I personally recommend to invest your money in a good base coat , nail polish ,top coat and a good hand cream because the constant use of nail polish remover dries out skin really bad so protection is the key.  Yes the 1st you will spend around $50 but can give yourself A LOT of manicures not only 1 as if you go to the spa or salon.

If you're not that great and putting color on your nails the simple fact of having them even and polished makes a statement your give a really nice image on yourself. So I recommend a 4 sided nail file they are not expensive and have all you need to get you started in your way of great looking nails. Don't go immediately and buy the "sand paper" looking ones , they might be too harsh on your nails your have to take it slow and go step by step once you get a little practice and get to know your nails you can go ahead and get something that suits you the best. So grab your self a 4 sided nail file , follow the steps then put on a base coat and top it off with some clear nail polish trust me your hands will have an amazing glow for a fraction of the price on the long run.

JULEP MAVEN

JULEP MAVEN #1

So today was finally the day I had been waiting for a while. So a couple of months ago I was doing my regular routine during the day which is check Youtube for review videos of products I would like to try. I bumped with this video about some girl giving her opinion of nail polish brands and she mentioned Julep I had never heard of such brand and the thing that got my attention was how amazing the polish looked tru the camera. I kept on doing my research about the brand and I just getting more and more and more excited because let me tell you I ADORE NAIL POLISH.

I was finally ready to make my first purchase WHEN ! I see that they have a new monthly nail care club called "MAVEN". Immediate reaction I start taking my "style quiz" and was revealed with my selection , I loved the fact youre getting HIGH end products for a fraction of the price and besides they will be colors never before seen and amazing nail treatments.

They have amazing and fast responding customer service which for me is a major + , just for the fact that you have your own profile and all that good stuff. Its an amazing brand and I see a bright future for them I can DEFF. recommend to anyone and everyone.

The quality of the products its amazing , the consistency for the formulation of the actual polish is super creamy, super pigmented and glides into the nail beautifully. I also got their "Facial for Hands" Glycolic Hand Scrub , and its really soft and subtle for everyday use and leaves yours hands with a silky feel to them its just really hard to put into words its one of those things you have to try for yourself. The package included a sample from of the "Everyday SPF" which haves SPF30 and has no greasy feeling to it.

Overall AMAZING purchase Im really happy and looking forward for more.

Following some pictures of the actual nail polish.
