NOTD - Zoya Charla

When the Zoya Sparkle collection first came out I purchased all the colours - the "glass-flecked" finish is one of my favourite nail polish finishes.  Shiny and sparkly without the brushstrokes of a metallic or the difficult removal process of a glitter.  

Some swatches:




Charla is a gorgeous sparkly turquoise colour, and the best description I've heard is that the colour is very "mermaidy".  I couldn't get a good picture in sunlight, but these pictures don't do the shine and gorgeous colour justice.  The formula is great, I used two coats and Seche Vite as a top coat.  So far it has lasted four days with only minimal tip wear, and I still find myself looking at my nails admiring the colour constantly!

I would definitely recommend this colour to anyone who loves blues! I usually purchase Zoya polishes from reputable eBay sellers.

Project 50 Pan

Every now and then I have a mini-crisis when I really I can't fit anymore into my beauty cabinet/makeup box/etc and find myself really stressed because I feel like I belong on an episode of Hoarders! I've been going through one of those stages lately, and not only do I want to save money but cutting back on the clutter in the bathroom would decrease my stress levels significantly.  

Because of this stress, I've decided it's time to embark on a Project 50 Pan! I've only ever been truly successful with a Project 20 Pan before, I usually cave and buy something new before I use up 50 products.  However now I have a blog where I'm going to document my progress regularly to hopefully keep me accountable.  

Stay tuned for updates!
