Mail-time: Zoya Awaken & Monet Polishes!


Two mail-times in a row?! I am a lucky lady, and Ham is a fortunate potato-dumpster-mouth.

In this edition, I just pile poxes on my poor, half-asleep, unwitting dog, and he is like 'what the hell, lady?!' :



"Oh...more nail polishes, huh?  That must be exciting for...you."



"But I am le tired."

Let's take a look at them pretty colors!

left to right: Brooklyn, Dillon, Rebel, Hudson, Dot, Cole

Don't these make you have Spring-time feelings?! Too bad it's like still 11 degrees and icy in Chicago.  We can dream, though.






And here, of course, is Monet, the already-famous iridescent glitter topper:




I am so stoked to try these! I really am in a pastel mood lately, so these look like they'll hit the spot.  I've already begun swatching and photographing, but I'm going to make sure that I have sun shots of the shimmer finishes.

These will be organized into two posts: one showing the four shimmers, and one showing the two non-shimmers, as well as Monet over the various shades.  Sound good? Stick around!



Disclosure: these polishes were provided to me as press samples for honest review, and all opinions are my own.

    Can't wait to see these swatched! I've been trying to get through my pile of untried dark winter colors but I've had such a hankerin' for spring colors like these!

    You aaaare? Small world! I'm actually in Mount Prospect, but just usually say Chicago to simplify things. :) Yay, proximity nail people!

    Haha, I still have so many dark Untrieds too, and I'm sure as soon as Spring fully hits, I will be in the mood for them again! That's usually how it goes.

    Ummm this is INSANE. I grew up in Des Plaines, right on the border of Mt. Prospect! My parents just moved from Des Plaines after over 26 years there!!!
