Zoya's Earth Day Nail Polish Exchange!

 

Trade in your old polishes for new ones from Zoya!

Here’s all you need to do!

1.    Go to www.zoya.com, pick out the polishes you would like and add them to your cart. You must select at
       least 6 and no more than 24 bottles of polish (Salons accounts minimum 12 maximum 48 bottles).
2.    Apply the code: EARTHZOYA2012
3.    Your order value will be adjusted to reflect a 50% discount (we use these funds to properly dispose of
       the old nail polish).
4.    Review and SUBMIT your order!

Then you can ship back your old polishes (an amount up to the amount you ordered). Here's how:

Once you get your order (Here is where the exchanging* happens)…

 
1.    Ship back the equivalent number of bottles to the ones you received to the return address below
       (ie. If you got 6 bottles of Zoya – you would send us up to 6 NON-ZOYA polishes). Please check with
       your carrier on the proper way to ship nail polish.

 
 2.    Include a copy of your order. 

Just one more important thing, you cannot send back any Zoya, Qtica or Nocti polishes. Only brands other than Zoya brands apply.

Of course, I thought about doing this, but there are really only 3 Zoya polishes that I want at the moment *sighs*

Valentine's Day Nails and Zoya Promo!!

Like every other holiday, Valentine's Day snuck up on me. I had two looks planned, but didn't do either of them. So, I thought I'd show what my Valentine's nails looked like even though they weren't actually Valentine's themed.

 

So, this is pretty bad lighting and I apologize.

OPI Vampsterdam (to be reviewed) as the base and an accent of Wet n Wild Spoiled Jewelry Heist (also to be reviewed) on the ring finger.

It's kind of Valentine's day-ish, but not really lol. I thought it was pretty either way, I'm a fan of the glitter accent I did.

Also, Zoya is having a Valentine's Day promo! You get a free bottle of red polish and free shipping with any order with code WELUVU. This ends today at 11:59pm so jump on it! I wasn't going to get anything, but it's such a good deal that I had to. I got Avery and Sooki!

Until next time,

Milani High Speed Fast Dry Nail Laquer in Racy Green!

I actually got this color a good while ago, around July when it came out and never got a chance to swatch it, which is really sad. But now that my halloween-fest is over, I have time to go back and swatch everything! Woohoo!

(natural light)

(sun light)

Racy Green, two coats. It's a green/ teal/ blue color, kind of peacock-esque. I originally thought that the color would be darker according to Milani's website, but you know how that goes. The finish is interesting, it's shimmery but not just pure shimmer. In some lights it looks kind of metallic and foily and in others not so much. I do love it in the sunlight.

The whole set of these are supposed to be fast drying, one coat polishes. Which makes perfect sense because if you only have to use one coat, it should theoretically dry faster. I happened to use two coats because even though the polish was opage in one coat, the color wasnt very saturated and was lighter than the bottle color. The color does build up with the more coats you add, two coats was perfect for me, I'm not sure how much more the color would build up with three. The dry time was very fast though, so I'll definitely give them props for that.

The formula on it was great. Even though it has all that shimmer and stuff in it, it's not too thick and is really smooth and has really nice coverage. And even though it is fast drying it spreads really easily.

And remember, the Urban Decay Friends and Family Sale ends tomorrow! 20% off everything with the code FFHOLIDAY11!

New from OPI: Nicki Minaj Collection! and Holland Collection! Plus a Zoya Promotion!

First up, the Nicki Minaj Collection! This will be available January 2012.

 Super Bass- a record-setting purple that “shatters” before your eyes

Pink Friday- Kick off the weekend with this pop! of bubblegum pink. 

Metallic 4 Life- This charcoal sparkle flies with the stars in the skies. 

Save Me- I drove for miles just to find this silver-rainbow glitter.

Did It On ‘Em - A lusty little lacquer that loves the “lime”-light.

Fly- I came to win, to fight…and to wear this aqua.

OPI announces the launch of six new limited edition shades inspired by hip hop sensation Nicki Minaj, including a purple Shatter!  Inspired by Minaj’s unique style, love of bright colors, and her debut album Pink Friday, the Nicki Minaj by OPI promotion will feature an array of bold hues, from neon lime green to pink.

 “OPI is so excited to work with Nicki in releasing these six new nail lacquers,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “Nicki has taken the hip hop world by storm, but her music is only part of the equation. She’s also become a fashion inspiration, noted for her daring costumes and hair color both on and off the stage.”

This is so Nicki Minaj and I love it! Save Me is crazy amazing, you need to enlarge the picture. It's rainbow bar glitter and looks so awesome! My next favorite is Fly.

 Next, the Holland Collection for Spring 2012

top row: 

A Roll in The Hague- Take advantage of this frisky little orange.

 I Have Herring Problem- What’s that you say? I need to “sea” this shimmery green-blue?

Wooden Shoe Like to Know?- It’s no secret…everybody loves this shimmery chocolate-brown.

 Red Lights Ahead…Where?- This coral-packed red is the hottest in the district.

 Thanks a WindMillion- You totally deserve this breezy sea green.

 Pedal Faster Suzi!- This pink lavender shimmer will have you “wheeling.”

bottom row:

 Did You ’ear About Van Gogh?- Rumor has it…this sandy bisque is a work of art.

 Dutch ’Ya Just Love OPI?- All of Holland hollers for this crowd-pleasing plum.

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes- Take a walk on the wild side with this robust rose.

I Don’t Give a Rotterdam!- This sassy steal-blue shimmer means business.

 Kiss Me on My Tulips- A smooch-worthy shade of hot pink.

Vampsterdam- A deep purple for a divine diva.

OPI celebrates color with the Holland Collection for Spring/Summer 2012. Inspired by the country’s range of stunning shades – as seen in vivid tulips, windmill-dotted hillsides and bustling canals – the collection’s twelve shades offer a mixture of sophisticated neutrals and highly-pigmented brights. 

“Holland has a very unique, vibrant beauty to match its open-minded nature,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “Spring is the season of color, and the Holland Collection provides an array of pink, coral and orange hues that capture this energy. The bright lacquers are married with neutrals in new variations like red clay and sea green.”

“Wearing these colors on fingers and toes will accessorize the season’s hottest trends,” remarks Suzi. “The varied palette of colors accentuates the looks that walked the runway, from colored pants and ladylike frocks to long, blousy-sleeved tops and dramatic patterns.”

I'm definitely excited to see these in person, I do like a lot of them on the promo, but you never know how they'll turn out on the shelves.

Also, I wanted to note that Zoya has a buy 2 get 2 free promotion going on right now. If you have a Zoya account, they have put a special code in the coupons and codes section of your account. This expires 11/4/11 at 11:59 pm. Take advantage! It's a great deal!

Fright Night Claw Polish, Orly Halloween Collection and Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner!

I was at my internship yesterday and we got a halloween pumpkin candy bucket thing filled with candy and costume jewelry and to my great surprise nail polish! So I jumped on it. It turned out to be one of the new Fright Night Claw Polishes.

This is Sinister, it is a black creme. Nothing special so I decided not to swatch it, I'm sure all of you know what black creme polishes look like. I do love the bottle though. I thought about buying a few of these when I saw then at some store then I decided against getting them. I am actually really impressed with the quality of the bottle, the glass is super thick. However, the cap is kind of annoying because it's such an awkward shape, it's kind of hard to find a comfortable way to hold it. 

These are the new Orly halloween polishes, they released this on facebook. Classic black and orange and then there's Goth, a black with multicolor glitter (as far as I can tell).

And now! Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner! I am super excited about this liner and I will tell you why...

First, the liner is liquid but it is in pen form! 

Second, the tip is a felt tip instead of a brush, so it is easier to control the line that you get.

This was swatched on bare skin. Now I'm not the makeup guru of We are the Wicked, but I just had to post this. You can see from the picture that is it really opaque and really nicely pigmented. Also, this dries SUPER fast and it does not smudge or budge. If you are a little eyeliner impaired like I am, you should definitely invest in this. I've used gel liners, but I feel like they take a little more skill and effort than I have, and I have also used e.l.f pen liners similar to this one, but the tip was a brush and they dried out really quickly. This liner also lasts a really long time, the first time I used it, it actually lasted 12 full hours which is crazy!

I bought on Sephora's website because they are having their Friends and Family sale, its on until 11/2 so you should get on that! This year you have to enter your email and Sephora will send you a one of a kind code. 

Also, Illamasqua has free UK shipping on all orders with code UKFREE, and free international shipping on purchases over £45 with code INTERNATIONAL45. This ends at midnight on 10/30, so hurry!

Until next time,

The Wicked

LA Girls Graphite and Zoya promo code

The last LA Girls Metal! And after this just one for LA Girls polish!!

(shade)

(sunlight)

Graphite, one coat. Yes, just one coat. This has a dark greyish base with silver shimmer/micro glitter. This is a very common color, I feel like I've recently seen loads of colors that look exactly like this. Anyway, it does look metallic-ish in the shade and foily in the sunlight. It's really really nice in the sunlight.

This had the best formula out of all the Metals. It was thicker like Millennium, but was completely opaque in one coat. Totally impressed with this one since the others were definitely lacking. Just because of the formula, this is probably my favorite out of all of them. Really, they all should have had the same formulation and if they did, the whole collection would have been an A+ for me.

Also, just wanted to tell you all about Zoya's free shipping promo, if you haven't already heard, just use the code SWEEP2 at checkout :)

Until next time,

Some Interesting Finds on Earth Day!

Today I stumbled upon a nail polish brand that I had never heard of before. It's called Ginger + Liz, and if you knew us personally you'd totally get the connection. It's almost ironic. Anyway, it's a non-toxic, vegan nail polish company. Very interesting, I haven't come across one of those before.
Here is a link to their website, where you can see their colors and read about the company and whatnot
http://www.gingerandliz.com/Default.asp
They have a blog and feature pictures from customers, pretty snazzy. And it gets better, I happen to have a coupon code for 25% off for today ONLY! The code is LUVEARTH25. Pretty helpful coupon since each color is $12, pretty steep, but I guess it's worth it for Earth Day.

Also! An Easter present from Illamasqua! 20% off until 9am Tuesday (probably UK time), enter the code EASTER20 at checkout. Andddd if you spend 100 pounds ($165.15) you get a free angled eyeliner brush! Woohoo!

Until next time,
