Hi all! Today is Veterans Day, where we remember to recognize those who fought for our country in the past and in the present. I decided to recreate my nails that I did for Memorial Day in 2014.  I also linked why poppies are a representation for Veterans and why they are so important. Head over to that post to read more about the history! I've also shown my Buddy Poppy in the collage below! These are made and sold by Veterans every year, and I purchase and wear one all year long!

Zoya Naked Manicure Review and Wear Test

Press Sample

Today I have a different type of polish post. Zoya Nail Polish released the Naked Manicure over the summer. At first I was confused, why would I want a set of sheer polishes? But now that I've used them, the system is really wonderful as a base coat for difficult formula polishes, for a clean look, and to help make your tired nails pretty again! So take a look at the transformation of my tired nails to clean and beautiful.

Pizza Party Nail Art with Cirque Colors

Nothing to Disclose

 

When I have events or gatherings, I can't help but do nail art to coincide, even if I'm the only one who sees it. My friend had a pizza party so of course, I had to do some quirky nail art. Of course, no one really saw them since we were too busy rolling dough and eating pizza! But they were too cute not to show off!
