Christmas Challenge Christmas Tree

Today for the Challenge we have Christmas tree!  I think no matter how you celebrate Christmas eveyone includes a beautiful Christmas tree in their decorating for the holiday. We have a big country living room and usually put up a big beautiful 10 foot tree.  This year I had not been feeling well so we only put up a 6 foot tree.  We are still behind in with some decorating.

I purchased Zoya  Chita recently specifically for this manicure.  I was not sure exactly what I wanted to do but knew I wanted green and texture.  A Christmas tree if nothing but texture.  I feel like my nails are so busy all the time (which I love) but wanted to keep it simple yet still say Christmas tree.  Chita has a lovely gold shimmer to it so I decided to go with that and this is what I came up with.

I did this Friday as a full manicure and will be wearing it until I do my Mani Monday nails Sunday night.  I really really like this and think it is cute.  It completes the challenge while being a nice neutral manicure I think.  The beige background under the tree is Espionage from Sinful colors and all the gold decorations for the tree are from a stud wheel I got at Five Below.  What do you think of my Mani?  Thank you for visiting and Happy Polishing!!

Zoya Sunshine

I know that Zoya polishes are not new to most of my blog readers but they are new to me.  I have been debating and debating which Salon brand I wanted to dive into.  I will always be a drug store brand junkie, because I think you can find really great polishes at the drug store but I wanted to find something that felt like a treat for myself.  I was pretty sure I had decided that Zoya was the one for me and they had a promotion code for their spirit trios, so I took the plunge.  So far I am in love with Sunshine, which is a Pixie Dust.

It is showing up a bit brighter in this picture but on the nail it is a navy blue with fantastic shimmer throughout.  What is not to love about this polish.  The bottle shape I find adorable personally.  Pixie dust polishes are textured and are meant to be worn without a topcoat.  It went on so nice, it was a dream to apply, the dry time is not bad at all.  I do not test wear time of polishes...I just change polish to often and in warmer months it would not be fair to any polish due to my activities.

I really enjoyed my first Zoya and I have 5 more to try out soon.  Two more are pixie dusts.  I think I made a good decision going with Zoya and I think I have found the perfect Indie brand for me as well, more on that later!  Thanks for reading and Happy polishing!!  xoxo Jaime
