Winter to Spring Transitional Floral Art

Contains press samples

Hey all! So we are in this weird weather pattern where I am not exactly ready for spring nails, but spring might hopefully soon come! Hence, my floral nail art but in some darker colors looked! We had 2 feet of snow, 80 degree weather when the snow mounds still lived, now back to 30s. I NEED WARMTH. For now, let's check out my transitional floral art.

 

 

Zoya Naturel 6 Sparkles

 Press Sample

Sooooo..... I am not one to take product and never share it. So although these polishes are from a year ago, and I actually did wear them since then, I realized I never officially posted these polishes. I absolutely love the Zoya Naturel lines. This is the sixth one and they create colors that are versatile for skin tones and provide a really great palate cleanser.  And with this post, I am officially caught up on all the Zoyas!

   

New Jersey Devils Nail Art

Press sample

Oh hello there! Mr. Ehmkay won a crazy ultimate fan experience with the NJ Devils and we were told we would be on the Jumbotron and all this stuff, so naturally he was like, do some themed nails. You don’t have to tell me twice! I love a themed nail. We’ve been to a good amount of Devils games, but never on a Jumbotron haha. I have to say, everyone was obsessed and impressed by my nails. So let’s get to it.

KBShimmer Fairy Good Attitude, March 2026 Polish Pickup

Press Sample

 

Hello! It's Polish Pickup time! This KBShimmer offering is stunning so let's take a look at too much pictures because this gorgeous polish is sooo shifty and you are going to love it!

 

Zoya Perfector Plus Opals

Press Sample

Zoya has a new line of Opals Perfectors which are meant to be sheer shimmery toppers. I actually love toppers like this. If you search my blog, I loved using Essie Kisses and Bises, which is a shimmer topper. I actually basically finished a bottle of it, because I used it for French manis all the time. So I was super excited when I received the press release for these! Let's look at them.

Zoya Muse Comparisons

Press Sample 

Hello all! I am just over here grumbling because the snow from the January storm finally mostly melted and we are currently experiencing a blizzard with 2 feet of snow expected! I think there's 18 inches out there already with 40+ mph winds. No more! Anywho, I always like to do some quick and dirty comparisons of Zoya colors because many have similar vibes and your girl refuses to get another Helmer (which has also doubled in price, ugh!) so let's take a look! 

L.A. Girl Cosmetics

 Press Sample

Today I am sharing 5 new colors from L.A. Girl Cosmetics. I have polishes from this brand from ages ago! I have featured them on this blog too. In 2011 or maybe 2012, they came out with a sparkly holo line that every single nail polish lover went nuts over. Can you imagine finding an inexpensive holo in a drugstore? I’m excited to see that this brand is still around and creating new colors.

Mardi Gras Nail Art

Press Sample

I last-minute realize that Mardi Gras was coming up and so I wanted to do nails, but wasn’t feeling that inspired to intricate nail art. What is easier than sparkles and glitter? So here we are!

💕Valentine’s Day Nail Art 💕

Happy Valentine’s Day! I am currently wearing this manicure and loved all my super pink nails! I hope you did too. I have all the fun Vday looks on this nail, so let’s go through it!

Hearts and Cherries Valentine’s Day Nail Art

 Press sample 

This was the first Valentine's Day look I did and as I said earlier, it’s the week to share Valentine’s Day nail art looks as it is this weekend. Well it is not typical for me to go crazy for Valentine’s Day, I do love doing fun and bright pink looks in the cold of February. So let’s take a look at my hearts and cherries nail art.

Valentine’s Day Galaxies

 Press Sample

Happy Valentine's Day week! While I do not make a huge deal of Valentine's Day, after weeks of dark nails, I went full blown into pink nails at the end of January, so I'll be sharing those looks this week! I actually just took these off yesterday, but decided to share them first! So let's get into this look.

Zoya Pheonix, November Color of the Month

Press Sample

Today I’m sharing the November color of the month. Although Phoenix is no longer available, it may be in the future. This is the perfect red for the month of February so let’s check it out.

Zoya Muse Collection, Swatches and Review

Press Sample

I let my Zoyas pile up while I had nail break after nail break since literally Halloween. And they are still broken. So I finally went to tackle some swatching. I’ll have lots of Zoyas for you this month as I did last month! The Fall 2025 Muse collection is not necessarily Autumn exclusive. In fact, I have been wearing black nails (who am I?!) for the past few weeks so I feel like I like this collection more right now than I would have in September!

Zoya Tinsel, December Color of the Month

Hello everyone! I hope you have enjoyed the snow, but it seriously was not fun to dig out. I’m showing a sparkly nail polish today as I catch up on these color of a month polishes.

 

Zoya Kihone, January Color of the Month

Press Sample

Oh hi. I am behind on sharing previous Zoya color of the months, and they sold out. Whomp. The problem is that these colors don’t usually get to me until halfway through the month. So I made an effort of showing off this month’s color despite its late arrival. Anyway, we are expecting loads of snow tomorrow, like most of the country, so this snowy shimmer is perfect for right now.

 

Pink Gradient Nail Art

 Press Sample

Hello everyone! I threw my parents a surprise anniversary party a few months ago, so I figured I would finally get around to sharing that art! I decided to make all the party favors (royal icing cookies with a custom cookie cutter that I also made) and a tiered cake, so I was so tired! So when it came to my nails, I did them late at night and needed something simple! 

KBShimmer Blockbuster, January 2026 Polish Pickup

Hello 2026! First Mani of the Year

Press sample

Okay, I will admit that for the last week of 2025 I wore a ridge filling base coat as my manicure. Therefore, when I finally sat down in 2026, fully congested, but not wanting to attend an event with my nails not done, I wanted something that was fun and sparkly but really quick to do. So let’s check out my first nails of the year.
