Oh the Horror! A broken nail + NOTD Zoya Lola

On Sunday I went to work with a horizontal tear on my middle finger.

My nails were already painted and didn't have time to re-do so I could to the tea-bag method.

Usually I put a band-aid on it to avoid further breaking but I forgot :(

By the end of the day I had a really bad break.

I usually never chop them all of my nails down to the same length since the broken nail usually is back to normal within 2 manis anyway.

This time I tried something different and I don't think I will do it again LOL.

I don't think my nails have EVER been this short, even in my nail biting days!

Luckily my nails grow pretty fast and I have seen some progress already.

This is Zoya Lola a gorgeous bright, Barbie pink shade with a slight blue duochrome (click photos to enlarge)

I know a lot of people either love Zoya's or hate them. I have NO problems with them. I love the formula, application, the brush, everything! My only issue was not with Zoya but with Seche Vite because it shrank the crap out of every Zoya. However, since I purchased the Sally Hansen Insta Dri top coat I have had no problems.

Even more progress: This is Petites Fiji with Ulta Pinata yada yada.

I did not know Fiji was a foil when I bought it and I despise foils! I threw some Pinata yada yada over it and WOW - LOVE this glitter top coat!

Shredded Tape Mani

Last week I received a few Avon polishes. Since my blog thus far has consisted of mostly

blue I figured I would share a green with you guys!

This is Electric Green from Avon. This is my first polish from Avon but I have heard

this particular one is a bit thinner than the other polishes.

This is 2 coats, the 2nd one a bit thicker to make it more opaque.

It is a really nice bright green with yellow undertones - GREAT for summer

I also bought one of the new Petite Color Fever polishes a couple of weeks ago and thought

it would look great over Electric Green! Daze is a bright, almost lime green with pretty glitters in it!

This is 2 coats of Daze over Electric Green

Finally, I finalized the mani with a tape design created by the ever so creative Chloe!

I usually can never stay satisfied with a polish for more than 1-2 days so I thought

this was a good way to change it up everyday!

Small Spring Haul

It was above 70 degrees and super sunny last friday so I decided to do a little bit of spring

polish shopping  :) 

I was dying for the new sally hansen insta dry polishes.

I should have picked up for but I stuck with my favs...for now

I also went to rite aid to check out the new petite colors.

Daze is limey green glitter.

Fiji is a frost, which I did not know at the time! its kind of upsetting.

I also got one of the Sally Hansen nail art pens for funky french's :)

I'm hoping to get a NOTD up soon but unfortunately I had a couple of breaks and am waiting for my

nails to grow out a tid bit :)

thanks for reading
