Fall is here! If it wasn't official before, it is now. Summer may be over but my obvious love for neons isn't going anywhere. Well, today they are because I've got a How I Wore It and a review of select shades from Zoya's Cafe Creams collection for Fall 2022.

Cafe Creams is a 6-piece collection that consists of five richly pigmented crèmes & one glitter topper. 

I have some fun nail art planned for the noticeably absent Biscuit and Ophelia. Which is why you don't see them in today's post.

• Thumb & Index: Kahula under two coats of Bonnie
• Middle: Remington under two coats of Bonnie
• Ring & Pinky: Constance under two coats of Bonnie

Each of the three crèmes have the same smooth formula that reach full opacity in two coats. 

Bonnie is the glitter topper of the bunch and is described as a "sheer and luminous" rose gold glitter.  It's a fun topper for sure and I would love a gold shard glitter topper like this. *nudges Zoya*

The entire Cafe Creams collection is Big 10-free and available now on Zoya.com. Catch the full press release HERE.

Are you ready for fall? Or are you still gonna wear your fav summer shades all year long? Let's chat in the comments.

Tune in. Drop out. Love polish.

Press Sample Summer is finally in full swing in Upstate NY--let it be known that the summer weather doesn't last very long--and I've got three easy ways to wear the Zoya Bubbly Collection.


The formula on all the of  the shades in this collection are same; easy to work with jellies. Most were two coaters, others were three.

I started with the combination of my three favs from this collection. From thumb to pinky the colors are Binx, Jesy, and Alma.




Binx is my favorite because, well, it's purple. Need I say more? Well, yeah. I should mention that it took three coats to reach this opacity. Three coats of purple flaky goodness.

Jesy, described by Zoya as a "fiery coral orange," reached the above opacity in two coats.

Alma, Alma, Alma, why couldn't there be a créme version of this in the Tickled Collection? Alma is a more yellow leaning orange jelly packed with flakies that reached the above opacity in two coats.


Generally I am not a pink fan, but I really do appreciate the way Harper looks on her own. Just look at her little cotton candy pink self. All stunning in two coats.


The combo of Muse and Stasi makes me think of a base for bomb subaquatic nail art.
Muse iswas two coats while Stasi is the only other three coater in the collection.

Dear Zoya,
Can you make a créme alternative to Alma. And maybe, just maybe, pretty please name it Briana?
K thanx.

Spot any must haves here?

The summer season is vastly approaching and summer collections are rolling in! Today I've got Zoya's Summer Magical Pixie Collection.


When I first saw the press info for this collection I thought I would like these so much more than the original Magical Pixies (nail art here), and now that I have them, I've proven myself right

As you may know I have a thing for wearing more than one color per mani and this trio makes it so easy to fulfill my multicolored whims

Shown above is three  thin coats each of  Bar (thumb and index), Ginni (middle), and Arlo (ring and pinky), aka my favorite of the bunch.

The formula on these is thin but easily build-able. If I had to rank the Summer Magical Pixies, they would fall second, right after regular Pixie Dusts and just before the first series of Magical Pixies.

Magical Pixies retail for $10 each or $30 for the trio sampler on Zoya.com.

Press Sample Just when you thought no one else could come out with another texture polish, here come the China Glaze Sea Goddess Collection. I didn't have the time to sit down and swatch the three shades I received so I wore them all at once!

Are over the texture nail polish trend yet? Or have not gotten your fill?
