Zoya Cosmic Pop Trio

Posted on by Cynthia

I have been incredibly tired lately–maybe it’s the heat, maybe it’s my age. Who knows? Yesterday I got an O-Cedar mop system and I can’t stop talking about it with anyone that can listen. Is this what it has come to? I talk about mops? Well, it is a pretty cool mop. Anyway, I’m just now getting around to editing and writing up a bunch of posts for all the swatches I got done recently. I had not gotten the chance to share with you my swatches of the Zoya Cosmic Pop Trio but better late than never, eh? Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Wildflower Lacquer Panda Painter – Charity Box July 2021

Wildflower Lacquer Panda Painter – Charity Box July 2021

Posted on by Cynthia

Hey, Hey, Hey! It’s July! Can you believe it? It feels like June just flew by and I’m still wondering where time went. Is that something that just happens when you’re older? I clearly remember being a child and feeling like time passed at at a crawling pace. I always wondered when I would get to be a grown up so I could do whatever I wanted–little did I know that the joke would be on me. Being a child was true freedom for me: no work, no bills, no worries. I really did have a good childhood. Today I will be showing you my swatches of Wildflower Lacquer Panda Painter which will be available for July’s Charity Box Collaboration. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Wildflower Lacquer Wonderland 2.0

Wildflower Lacquer Wonderland 2.0

Posted on by Cynthia

Hello friends and happy Thursday! Today I am back and sharing yet another beautiful topper from Wildflower Lacquer. When you have such an extensive nail polish collection (at one point I probably had 6,000 or more bottles), it’s very hard to find unique shades and finishes. I have always enjoyed toppers because I can create so many different looks with just one polish. I’ve tried really hard to keep my polish collection manageable ever since I had that nightmare move and I had to store so much stuff. I feel like I lost a bunch of polish somehow but I’ve been good about destashing and giving polish away if I know I won’t get much use out of it. Wildflower Lacquer Wonderland 2.0 is one of those deceptively simple toppers that are so pretty once you get it on your nails. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Woot! Woot! Happy Wednesday! We’re just about halfway through the week and then we have a long weekend for the 4th of July! Well, I realize not everyone has a long weekend because for many years I did not. I remember when I used to work at the airport, I basically worked every single holiday and it sucked! What didn’t suck were all the awesome flight benefits that I took advantage of regularly.  For today’s post, I’m going to sharing with you a beautiful topper. Wildflower Lacquer For the Halibut 2.0 is one of those toppers that can transform just about any polish and you will want to add it to your collection. Let’s take a look at my swatches below.

Is Sunday your least favorite day of the week? I think it is for me because I spend the day cleaning, running errands, doing laundry and just getting ready for the week. Today I decided that I would not do any of that today and truly just veg out all day and watch movies/shows. I also had some time yesterday to get a bunch of posts ready for the blog. Today I am going to show you my swatches of the Prism Polish UK Who Stole Christmas Collection as well as some special edition shades. Let’s check out my swatches below.

Zoya Dreamin’ Collection

Zoya Dreamin’ Collection

Posted on by Cynthia

I am so glad it’s Thursday! I know I’ve mentioned already that I’m feeling sluggish and I think I just need a quick reset which hopefully happens this weekend. I’ve been doing my own version of meal planning so that takes up some time on the weekends, but it really makes lunch/dinner so easy during the week. It’s kind of difficult to cook on a daily basis when you’re just cooking for one, so this is working out for me. I did recently try some meal kit plans and i absolutely hated it. I did not like the meals and I hated all the messy packaging. Today I will be sharing with you my swatches of the Zoya Dreamin’ Collection so I hope you like them. Let’s take a look below!
