Zoya Sailor + Tomoko

Happy Friday, all! I am so glad that the weekend is just about here. I have been having a hard time adjusting to being back at work after my vacation and it's taking me a bit longer to get up to speed. I also think I may have caught a mild cold somewhere in the last couple of days, which isn't helping. But, to cheer myself up, I gave myself a fun, sophisticated manicure that is festive but still classy.

I paired Zoya Sailor, a dark navy creme with an accent nail of Zoya Pixie Dust in Tomoko, a cool toned gold textured polish. I have to say that I love the combo of these two together. They are both beautiful polishes. Sailor is extremely pigmented with a smooth formula. Even though it's quite dark, it definitely still looks blue. I only needed 2 coats for opacity. Tomoko is similar to the other Pixie Dust polishes and has a fine, textured look to it. I think this cool, champagne gold would look good on a variety of skin tones. Also shown with 2 coats.

Zoya is definitely one of my favorite polish brands since they consistently put out new and interesting shades with good formulas. Speaking of Zoya, have you guys been following them for their Flash Promos? Every holiday season the Zoya fairies release limited coupon codes throughout the day for great deals and freebies on Zoya.com. You have to be quick though because sometimes the codes go in seconds. But they are great deals and it's worth stalking their social media sites in case a good one comes along.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Zoya Pepper

Hello again. I hope that you're all having a wonderful weekend. Surprisingly I don't really have any plans this weekend so I'll probably end up just lazing about the house. It's been a bit cloudy around these parts lately, hence the cooler one to my pics. I am not really great at color correcting so just let it be known that today's swatch pics were taken on a cloudy day.

Zoya Pepper is a reddish brown (brownish red?) creme from the Zoya Cashmere collection from this past fall. Zoya does some really awesome cremes and this one is a winner. This is a great color for fall. It totally reminds me of turning leaves and the rich, warm tones of the season. The formula on this was great and I used 2 coats below. I did use a top coat though it was already pretty shiny on its own.

I got this color when Zoya was doing their CAMO promotion. I bought some polishes and then got 4 free polishes from the Cashmere collection. Seriously, Zoya has the best promos. This probably would not be a color that I would normally get on my own. It's a little subdued for me. However, I am glad that I have it now and it's unique in my collection.

What are your favorite fall nail polish colors?
