Wishes really do come true with this new nail polish collection for Winter/Holiday 2014! The Zoya Wishes Collection includes three traditional & three Magical PixieDust formulas. No matter how you wear them, this collection delivers a fanciful way to celebrate the season! Preview the collection [here]
Haven
This is a stunning metallic plum. The formula was smooth and applied beautifully. This is a perfect shade to wear in the transition of autumn to winter. I adore this color!
Imogen
A black crystal Magical PixieDust with holographic hex glitter. This is the most unique polish of the collection - the glitter looks really cool when the black base dries to a semi-matte finish.
Nori
A sapphire blue Magical PixieDust with holographic hex glitter. I’m not a huge fan of textured polishes in general, but this is a beautiful color of blue and when dried becomes semi-matte to create an overall neat effect.
Prim
A gorgeous cool metallic light blue. The application and formula was super smooth and I almost got away with using one coat!
Thea
A deep amethyst Magical PixieDust with an orchid flash, packed full of holographic hex glitter. This polish is absolutely beautiful. I you love purples, you need this in your collection!
Willa
A full-coverage onyx black cream, originally released as 'Black Swan' during Zang Toi's NYFW SS15 show. Yes, this is a generic black, but the formula is what sets this apart from others. The application was amazing and I cannot stress how awesome this black is! This is hands-down my favorite of the collection. After using Willa, I literally threw away every black I owned. #Seriously
Overall this collection was hit-or-miss for me. I absolutely loved the three standard colors (Haven, Prim & Willa). However, I'm not a huge fan of textured polishes, so the three PixieDust colors were... ok. They were fun to wear, just not my thing. All photos above were 1-2 coats of polish and all six colors had phenomenal formula, as Zoya always does!
The Zoya Wishes Collection is available now in top salons, spas and on zoya.com with a retail price of $9 (US) for standard colors and $10 (US) for PixieDust colors.

DIY Nails - NancyMc Random Decals Review + GIVEAWAY!
Today I have a special review - decals from DIY Nails! Recently I’ve been seeing nail decals all over Instagram & Pinterest, which got me intrigued. All you need are scissors, water and a topcoat, then voila - instant nail art!
The decals I chose to use were Nancy Mc ‘Random.’ Each decal is super cute, and beyond unique, which were designed by the ever talented nail artist, Nancy Mc. Its suggested you apply the decals over dry nails. For my base, I used 2-3 coats of Loaded Lacquer, ‘Coconut.’ Once my base was dry, applying the decals took maybe less than a half hour. For your reference, DIY Nails has helpful video tutorials on “How to Apply” { HERE }
Personally, I’ve used a few different brands of decals, but were disappointed by all. With that said, DIY Nails are my favorite and I am beyond impressed with them! The decal designs are so adorable, and they lay/form perfectly to my nails. If you we’re thinking about trying decals, I strongly suggest DIY Nails - you will not be let down!
DIY Nails are sold for a suggested retail price of £6.00, which converts to about $9.58 each (US).. and yes.. they ship worldwide! Available now at diynails.co.uk - Be sure to follow them on Facebook, Twitter @DIY_Nails, YouTube, Instagram, and Tumblr.

Happy Independence Day everyone! This year for the 4th of July, I wanted my nails to be patriotic and cute, yet subtle enough to wear in the workplace. I chose to layer my favorite red, white & blue glitter over white. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
Julep Nail Therapy » $14.00 Julep.com
One coat - A nourishing base coat that doubles as a nail treatment.
Loaded Lacquer Coconut » $8.00 LoadedLacquer.com
Two thick layers - this is a white "crelly" (cream-jelly finish), which I absolutely love. It builds up nicely to a fresh white, without being bright and crisp, like most whites... if that makes sense.
Nostalgic Nail Lacquer Pride » $9.00 NostalgicNailLacquer.com
A patriotic mixture of red, white and blue glitters in various shapes and sizes, topped off with a hearty dose of star shaped glitter. I used two thin layers. This is my all time favorite "American" themed polish and I truly love wearing it. I'm not sure if it is still made, or available, but if you ever come across this in a blog sale, its a must own! 💙
Glisten & Glow HK Topcoat » $6.99 GlistenAndGlow.com
Literally the BEST topcoat I have ever used! Its fast-drying, super shiny and doesn't shrink my polish, or chip. Did I mention its fast drying?! Ever since I discovered this topcoat, I refuse to use anything else. I highly recommend this to everyone.
I hope you all had a safe and fun filled weekend, full of barbecues and fireworks - I would love to see your patriotic mani's from this past holiday! Tweet me @follownailfiles, or post them on my Facebook wall.
