Zoya Delight Collection Press Release

Zoya Delight CollectionLately, Old Man Winter has been particularly harsh and grumpy lately.

With cold temperatures making my teeth chatter, I’m seriously considering treating him to a spa experience or a pedicure, just so he’ll ease up a bit. šŸ˜‰

The other day, I opened up my inbox to see the cute colours in theĀ Zoya Delight CollectionĀ for Spring 2015!

The Easter-egg hues are so pretty, they almost make me forget about the bitter winds and the mercury dropping.

Available starting February 2nd, the Zoya Delight Collection has a lot of shades that can be easily mixed and matched, which is always convenient.

Zoya is one of the brands that isn’t afraid to release all the colours of the rainbow, and this collection exemplifies that. There’s my favourite, green, plus even a yellow!

Which ones stand out the most to you? How would you wear these? Solo or in a colourful combination?

Zoya Naturel Satins Collection Press Release

Zoya Naturel Satin CollectionIt’s the last day of the year, and I hope that you have exciting plans! šŸ™‚ (I’ll be enjoying a fun dinner tonight with a few drinks, which is what I typically do on New Year’s Eve.)

I hope that you have a great time tonight, whatever you decide to do. Have fun, but be safe! šŸ™‚

Today, I have theĀ Zoya Naturel Satins Collection Press ReleaseĀ and promotional pictures to share with you. All these colours will be available on January 15!

There are six shades in this collection, and it should come as no surprise that Sage (the mossy green) is the one that I’m the most curious to try. šŸ˜‰

The Zoya Naturel Satins feature a special formulation that minimizes nail imperfections while providing opaque coverage. They also are advertised as lasting longer than traditional matte nail lacquers.

I’m really busy, as you may be with Christmas right around the corner. (I can practically hear Santa’s stomach growling, happily anticipating all the cookies and milk that children are going to be preparing for him tonight.) šŸ˜‰

Despite the hectic holiday schedule, I wanted to take a few minutes to let you know some exciting news.

If you followed me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, or Pinterest yesterday, you already know what I’m going to say.

This also includes suggestions for how to improve their website because they want to make the online shopping experience a wonderful one for Canadians! šŸ™‚

Quick Look: Essie Cashmere Matte Collection Swatches, Bottle Shots & Press Release

Essie Cashmere Matte CollectionLast week, I came home to some surprise nail mail with theĀ Essie Cashmere Matte Collection!

The Essie Cashmere Matte Collection has a satin-like texture that’s smooth, matte, and really cool.

But what made me sit up and take note was that I wasn’t expecting them to have shimmer. At first, I thought it was my camera’s flash reflecting off the glass of the bottles, but it wasn’t.

Some of these polishes have a beautiful subtle shimmer in the bottle.

In this post, you’ll see swatches, bottle shots, and the official press release. As usual, when I wear them as full manicures, I’ll be sure to review some in-depth on here.

OPI Fifty Shades of Grey Collection Press Release

OPI Fifty Shades of Grey CollectionThis evening, I have theĀ OPI Fifty Shades of Grey Collection Press Release!

There are six nail polishes in the OPI Fifty Shades of Grey Collection, which launches in January 2015. (I feel like all of them are good staples to have because you can easily combine them with other colours. There’s nothing too crazy.)

You’d probably expect that with a name like “Fifty Shades of Grey”, this collection would be all greys, but one is red.

I’ve never read the novel by E.L. James. Have you?

Truth be told, I have no desire to read it, either. (No offence to those who really love the book. We all have different tastes, and that’s just not the type of book that I’m drawn to.)

Actually, I usually gravitate toward books that make me laugh out loud because while there are plenty of hilarious writers out there, making someone laugh out loud just by your writing and not by clever verbal delivery or funny facial expressions is pretty challenging. It’s a talent that I really admire.

Recently, I picked up “Yes Please” by Amy Poehler, which I’m really excited to dive into. (You may remember that I posted a photo on Instagram and mentioned how I redeemed a bunch of my Shoppers Optimum Points, and one of the things I got was that book.)

I’ve read a few pages of Yes Please so far, and she already had me laughing so hard because the preface is so sarcastic!Ā šŸ™‚ (Any other Amy Poehler fans out there?)

But enough about what I’m currently reading! Let’s get on with the nail polish already, right? šŸ˜‰
