Listy, I didn't know that was in fashion. I've seen the one where you paint the ring fingers a different color.  Maybe I can get away with the different colors on Halloween!  I love the bottle of the polish remover. I keep forgetting to get it when I run out. I heard it's really good product, too.  Maybe I should start a makeup chalkboard at home. I have grocery chalkboard. Why not a makeup board? :grin:

I will try the remover as soon as I need to replace my current one.  I'm watching for more coupon deals, too!

I love the polish remover and I love the bottle it comes in.   Its the kind that, after you flip open the top, just hold the cotton ball on the top and push it down a few times.  The remover squirts up on to the cotton!  No more worries about spilling an open bottle of remover.


Sally Beauty sells these bottles for polish remover and I love mine.

I haven't yet braved the new world of polish color but I saw a few shades on the Zoya site that really tempt me. DH intensely dislikes the use of blues, greens, and blacks but I think I can probably ease him into the idea if I start with a couple of Zoya colors in taupey shades that I came across. Great topic!

I ordered the 2 free bottles from Zoya, and they finally came!  When I opened the box, I honestly didn't remember ordering these colors - though I'm sure I did!  :rollseyes:
I think I was down to the wire on time, and there are SO many colors to chose from.  Anyway, I ended up getting Kelly & Ibiza.  A gray and a shimmery dark blue.  I thought I'd ordered something from the dark purple family, but, oh well. 
Currently my nails are chewed and scraggley, so I'll be applying my Nail Magic for awhile before using my new Zoya.  Then, once they're in decent shape, maybe I'll invest in the gel kit we've been discussing as well.

Those are beautiful colors, Lucy!  You're going to love wearing them, I know.

Mine came this weekend, too, and I had the same reaction you did.  "Did I order these?"

Mine came but at least one of them froze in transit and leaked all over the place.  :(  About 1/4 of it is stuck to the outside of the bottle and the box it came in. The other one seems to be intact and will hopefully be good but I'm not too sure about what's left of the leaked one.

The one that leaked is Laurie, the one that didn't is Erika.

I got Lucy (a soft, milky, neutral off-white sheer cream) and Kaitlyn (a sheer, light, milky, flesh-tone cool pink with subtle bisque undertones)...always looking for the perfect natural look.  I just put Lucy on last night and, while it looks white in the bottle, it shows up as a brightening effect.  This could be the one!

I have been looking at my nails all day in admiration.  They sort of glow but they're not frosty or glittery.  I'm a happy camper!
