I just wanted to say a a BIG thank you to Zoya Nail Polish* for their sponsorship and making me their newest beauty ambassador :)
I've gotten so many amazing polishes from them!! I honestly did not expect so many..

The customer service was exceptional and it shipped in less than three days! The packing was lovely, so sweet of them to wrap everything nicely. The nail polishes go on smoothly like silk, I only have to use about two coats - most of the time one coat does the job. They're an affordable brand, that gives of a luxurious feeling in their quality of nail polish. Plus, they're non-toxic compared to most nail polishes! :)

They're coming out with New Summer collections - Tickled & Bubbly & ! You can pre-order them.

These are the Zoya nail polishes I received and their close ups. I've received:

Zoya Nail Polish Collection in Pixie Dust

Zoya Nail Polish Collection Awaken: Spring Collection

Zoya Nail Polish Naturel: Rose Tone Nudes

Zoya Color Lock System

The Zoya Coor Lock System was adorable, it came in a zip lock bag. It contains

Remove Plus in the Big Flipper Container, Zoya Anchor Base Coat, Get Even Ridge Filling Base Coat, Armor Top Coat, Zoya Fast Drops Polish Drying Drops, Zoya Renew Nail Polish Rejuvinator

You can purchase this whole set for $48. It's cheaper to buy it all together than individually. It is a set meant for your nail polish to do your manicures and pedicures last longer. I've really needed this kind of kit for a while! This helped last the polishes a looooong time! Zoya nail polish hasn't chipped in a week straight, I actually had to remove it myself. This system is like your personal spa at home :D It doesn't have a smell either, it actually smells nice.

Zoya is considerered the new color of fashion and it deserves that title! It is an affordable brand for many, their nail polishes range mostly from $9 - the quality is amazing. How beautiful are these colors though? A variety !

I'm wearing Zoya Nail Polish in Brooklyn from the Zoya Awaken Spring 2014 Collection. It's a very beautiful and vibrant color. It went on smoothly, and I loved the natural shine it had. This a lovely color to wear during springtime (Excuse the mess, that's what happens when you try on many polishes)

This BEAUTIFUL metallic color is to die for! I'm wearing a Pixie Dust color in Chyna. I love red nail polish, it's probably my most favorite after a traditional french manicure. Red nails + Pixie Dust go well together! The nail polish just stands out against my pale hand. How cute is that my ring is kind of matching as well? This is my most favorite nail polish out of the bunch - Vibrant and beautiful. It lasts a long time as well, very wearable for winter or spring/summer weather. Most glitter nail polishes haven't worked for me, however, this has. It's extremely rich in color and the formula is nice and thick. It's just the perfect shade of red. Red nail polish is always chic and classy :) Did I mention, it dries really fast too? Its glitters are very fine, true to its name "pixel", not big. The texture is rough though, it's not a classic matte look.

Another beautiful color, Zoya PixieDust Nail Polish in Dahlia. The sparkle is beautiful, the intensity of these nail polishes are amazing, so bold! They actually match the bottle which very few brands do. The shine they have it to die for! These Pixie Dust polishes and Naturel polishes are simply beautiful, my favorites one out of the bunch. It shows they have a variety of collection. The polishes don't chip at all, they lasted me for a week straight.

Make some room for these polishes! Zoya Nail Polishes are a beauty MUST HAVE. I would give them a perfect 5!

Moving on, I'm nominated for a Liebster Award! :) Doing this post confirms that I won :) I like to thank my mother and her mother and her mother !! .. LOOL joke. For those who aren't aware of this award, it's a popular virtual award bloggers give to each other. It gives recognition to bloggers who have less than 200 followers. I have over 1,000 on bloglovin, I don't know if it counts but since my GCF is less than 200, it counts :) There are a set of rules that must be done in order for this award to be yours, no one really checks if you do the actual rules, it's better to just accept it since it's considered an honor and do this recommended post. You have to thank the person who nominated you, then answer 11 questions that they have given you - Afterwards you nominate 10 bloggers(Let them know) and give them your own 11 questions. Sounds a lot, but it's cute and worth it.

Anyway, thank you so much to the lovely blogger Ellessi for this award! She's an aspiring blogger, so must check her out guys.

Probably, my little black dress. Every girl needs one!

3. Only wearing foundation for the rest of your life or wear every makeup item except foundation for the rest of your life?
I don't really use foundation anyway so every other makeup item, concealer works amazing. If you're under 21, I wouldn't recommend using foundation all the time, it ages you out more.

YOU! All the positive feedback's I receive motivate me. I feel as if I'm doing something right.

White is my favorite color, so I rather be that. It's just very pure and simple.

6. What is your favourite make-up product right now?

There's way too many to choose, but I really like Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Spot Concealer, it works like magic and it's natural.

7. What's your favourite film?

Nothing beats Titanic, it is the most romantic movie ever and so realistic.

A few months back, October 2013.

Mostly straight and down. During bummy days, it's ponytail swag for here.

I don't have any blogger inspirations, just blogs I really like.
