Day 29: Zoya Ginger

Hi, everyone! I know this was a little delayed, but I promise it's going to be worth it. For Day 29, I've brought you all another guest blogger. But I will allow her to introduce herself...

Hi I’m Lisa from Cosmetic Sanctuary and I am so excited to do a guest blog post for Princess Polish!!

Zoya is definitely my first love when it comes to nail polish, when I started out as a new blogger Zoya was the very first company to send me samples to review (they sent their True and Fleck collection!), not only that, they have amazing promos throughout the year! 

Okay, onto the polish!

I chose to swatch Zoya Ginger.  At the time that I bought Ginger, I had absolutely NO orange polish in my collection and I wanted to fix that!  When I put it on, I fell in LOVE with it (and orange is NOT a color I usually love)!  Zoya Ginger is a gorgeous fiery orange with amazing gold shimmer throughout.  This is not a neon orange, but it is very vibrant!

I really don’t think Ginger gets enough love, I hadn’t even heard of it until I went into Zoya’s orange selection on their website looking to fill that gap in my polish collection!

Thank you so much Princess Polish for giving me a moment to post as a guest on your blog!  And for being so patient with me while waiting for this post (tax season is BRUTAL on those of us who work in accounting firms!)

A big thank you to my fellow blogger, Lisa, for writing up a post. I know orange is so "on-trend" right now and with Zoya Arizona being touted as one of the hotter shades of the summer, Ginger is poised to make a surge.

Ginger is available at Zoya.com for $8 and may also be available at your local Ulta, depending on your selection!

While you should be sure to check out Day 28's post to vote for the final day of the 30 Days of Zoya Challenge, I still have to ask you one last question.

So tell me...what Zoya orange appeals to you most?

Until later!

Sinful Colors Cinderella

Doesn't every little girl dream of her fairytale moment? I will cop to having a crush on Prince Harry... though for a time in middle school, while Prince William's hairline didn't resemble his father's, I would have taken either royal.

Who am I kidding? I'd still take either.

Sinful Colors Cinderella is the perfect shade for any woman of any age to remind her that all ladies deserve to feel like princesses once in a while.

Cinderella is a light blue creme with subtle light pink microshimmer. It's so hard to capture the shimmer on camera, as it just did not want to focus on it, but it's more pronounced in person. It took four coats to build up to the level of opacity that I wanted, but it was totally worth it.

What amazed me is that when I think of the Disney version, this base color is EXACTLY what comes to mind. That dress! Ahh!

 

See what I mean? And that shimmer gives it a little bit of the Fairy Godmother magic!

You can find it at your local Walgreens or Harmons Face Values for $1.99.

Have you found Sinful Colors Cinderella near you?

Bibbity Bobbity Boo!

Spring Stripes

While I am reluctantly giving up my jewel tones now that it is spring, one thing that I could never give up is my nail art! So I tried to come up with something light and delicate that would also make an impact. I decided on a pastel rainbow.

First, I had to pick out some colors. I don't own nearly as many pastels as I do brights and darks, so this was a bit of a challenge for me. I wanted to select shades that would go well together and almost blend, rather than contrast.
