Zoya Mystery Minis

Hey there!

I wasn’t going to do it.

I really wasn’t going to buy them.

And then I saw the reviews. Everyone was talking about them and showing them off. So, I caved.

I saw that Zoya was having their mini mystery box for $15. They've done this before but this time I looked at it and kept going. The last Zoya mini mystery box was just ok. I didn’t think I needed to pay $15 for the next one.

But I did.

I just saw waaaaay too many showing the beautiful colors and flashing their nails around. And, I missed out! How could I miss out?

Luckily Zoya is smart and kept the code active. I was able to sneak in an order and get my deal at the tail end of the promotioin.

My mystery box came with 3 mini’s; Temperance, Violet and Marion. It also came with a travel sized nail polish remover (score!) and a hot lips gloss. Not sure what I’m going to do with the lip gloss (oh kiddo! Want a new lip gloss?) but I am stoked at the remover. That’s a $4.60 value! I love it when they give me free remover.

I ordered the mini trio’s because of Temperance. It’s a beautiful dusty blue/heather grey shimmery color. It reminded me of the Illamasqua color in Raindrop. Such a pretty blue. Worth the $15, almost by itself.

Violet is a warm lilac color. It’s a pretty purple cream polish. It just looks so rich! I think it’s a one coater but I’d always use two.

Marion is a shimmery purple. It’s like the other two polishes went on a date, had to many drinks and had a shimmery baby. I like the way it catches the light. I think it will make a great accent nail and it’s perfect for nail art.

I am so glad that I was able to make this deal. I almost missed out because I hesitated. I will make darned sure that I don’t hesitate next time!

Quickie Review - Zoya Nail Polish Remover

Hey There!

Here it is folks. I've been talking about a special new nail product for a while now and tada!! I purchased the Zoya Remove Plus Big Flipper Polish Remover (8 oz $9.99 at Ulta).

The Zoya website says that Zoya Remove Plus is a "gentle...nail polish remover, nail prep and nail conditioner". I've heard many positive things about it. I decided I definitely needed to try it out. So, I ran into my local Ulta, used a $3.50 off coupon (at the same time that I purchased a deeply discounted Zoya nail polish) and walked out with this bad boy.

I've used it three times now and so far...I really like it! It doesn't seem harsh on my nails (you know, like some of the other brands). It certainly doesn't smell harsh. It doesn't dry out my nails and it removes every last remnant of polish. It doesn't leave a white film on my nails when I'm done.

I love the bottle style. It's so nice for easy dispensing. You can't spill anything from this (I think). That is a big plus in my book.

I know that so many people don't like the price but when you think about all the things that you do spend money on, all the cash you shell out for pretty polishes and special hand lotions and creams, you begin to realize that your hands are worth it. I've had such a problem with peeling nails, I was willing to try this. So far it has worked like a dream. Stay tuned for my empties and see what I think when I finish the bottle.

That may take a few months so...
