China Glaze Rare and Radiant

Today I have one of China Glaze's new duochrome polishes. This one is called Rare and Radient, some would say a Chanel Peridot dupe! The Bohemian collection is full of strong duochromes and this one is no exception.

R&R has a mix of green and gold shades. In the light the gold is super apparent but when the light hits it right a gorgeous green shade peeks through.

I'm not the biggest fan of duochromes but I am happy with this one!

What are your favorite duochromes?

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!
