Swatch : Zoya Isabel





Those pictures were taken outside. I found this was the best way to capture the "redness" of this polish! It looked darker in the bottle than it is in reality. At the beginning, that annoyed me a little bit until I looked at my hands in the sun...BAM ! glittery, gorgeous nails appeared from nowhere ...
I first bought this color because I thought it would be a nice red to wear at work...But I am not sure it's office appropriate finally....What do you think ? Red shoes are hot with a black suit. Is it working the same for nail polishes ? ... May be I'll look like a Xmas tree in April (Funny but tempting !...)

Have a nice Sunday

Brown make up brightened up by blue !




I Really liked this reinterpretation of good old neutrals. Blue is sometimes a tricky (and scary) color to use ...But it does so much for brown eyes !!!
As I work in a conservative place, I think this is wearable but still is has it's own twist ....
So here are the products used :
Face : Revlon HD in nude (believe it or not , even though it's REALLY pale, I am even paler in reality so it gives me a little color. I am the forgotten sister of Casper the little ghost !)
Cheeks : nothing new under the sun : Vanilla pigment as an highlight (MAC), Angel blush (NYX), Revlon bronzer in shade 2 as contouring
Lips : MAuve lipliner (NYX), Ceto lipstick (NYX)
Eyes : TFSI as primer, Foxy (Annabelle) all over the lid, NYX blue color from the trio Aquamarine in the crease and smudged under the lower lash line, Blending color : Retrospeck (MAC), highlight color : Dazzlelight (MAC).....and the final POP : Reflect teal glitter from MAC cool capers set (holiday collection) over the blue color in the outter corner of the eye (best shown in the 2nd pic)

Et VoilĂ  !

Big discovery for me : Sally Hansen Hard as nails Xtreme wear nailpolishes rock ! They are ridiculously cheap but surprisingly gorgeous ....So here we go :

Grape idea : dusty rose quite sheer, you need to apply 3 coats but worth the hard job ....

Red carpet : amazing red with sparkles

I just bought other colors : a silver and a glittery one , I'll keep you posted if they are as gorgeous as their little friends ....
