Lately, 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. 😉

The other day, I opened up my inbox to see the cute colours in the Zoya Delight Collection 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?

It’s the last day of the year, and I hope that you have exciting plans! 🙂 (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! 🙂

Today, I have the Zoya Naturel Satins Collection Press Release 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. 😉

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.

On Friday, I got a very mysterious e-mail from Zoya alluding to their Zoya Cyber Monday deal. I decided to share it with you in case you decide to partake in the deal that’s open to U.S. residents.

Although I’m Canadian, my blog has a lot of American readers. So when I heard about the Zoya Black Friday & Cyber Monday Deal valid for U.S. residents, I had to share! (Wish I could participate in this!)

Are you planning to (or have you already done some) Black Friday shopping? The only thing I’m really hoping to score a deal on are Hunter boots, but even if they don’t go on sale, I’ll still buy them.

The Zoya Wishes Collection for Winter Holiday 2014 is now available for pre-ordering!

It contains 6 shades, 3 of which have the Magical PixieDust textured finish. Then, 2 have a metallic finish, and the final one has a dark, gothic sensibility.

I can see how they could be combined in a single manicure to create a cool, coordinated look.

How would you pair the shades to create your own signature style? Or would you sport them solo?

Judging solely on the promotional photos, I think that the 3 Magical PixieDust shades will be my favourites because the extra bling is fun. Plus when you’re in a hurry during the holiday season, it’s nice to enjoy textured polishes that dry super fast and that don’t require a base or top coat!
