Today Bailey painted her nails Zoya Paz, a bright neon orange polish that looks very similar to the color I saw in the sky this morning when the sun rose over Lihue, Kauai:
Paz is part of the Zoya La-Di-Da Summer 2009 Collection currently available online at zoya.com.
Lately I’ve been loving the look of creamy, bright nail polish. It’s so fresh and summery!
Today I painted my nails with OPI A Grape Fit!, a creme lilac shade with no shimmer, and I love it.
Last week I wore Zoya Pippa, a creamy bright yellow (if you follow me on Twitter you might have seen me post the picture below on Twitpic):
Don’t you love my new ring?! It was a gift from Julia at All About the Pretty (and no, it’s not my birthday, she’s just awesome like that!)
Some other hot summer colors I’m looking forward to wearing this season are Essie Funny Face, a bright pink, OPI Green-Wich Village and, of course, Chanel Orange Fizz.
What colors are you looking forward to wearing? Any must-have colors that I’m missing? Tell me and I’ll add them to my summer nail polish list and feature them here on Makeup Bag!
You’re dying, aren’t you?
These new Matte Velvet nail polishes from ZOYA are the best thing that’s happened to me today. Seriously. I can’t take it, they’re so gorgeous!
Happy New Year! It’s 2009 and I’m not looking back.
While 2008 was mostly wonderful for Makeup Bag (the WWD feature, the Elle mention, PARIS!), it was also a very difficult year for me personally. I lost my dad in January which has crippled me in ways that I can not explain. I’ve also spend most of the year away from my husband who is working on a business project in Hawaii that requires him to spend most of his time on the island of Kauai. For these reasons, most of 2008 was rather foggy and I haven’t really felt quite like myself.
This year, I’m taking my mom’s advice and moving forward. I have so many fun ideas for Makeup Bag but just haven’t had the mental energy to execute them.
This is the year I’m going to make it happen. Makeup Bag will be bigger and better than ever and I hope you’ll stick around for the beauty-adventure.
Here are some of my favorite products from 2008:
1. Bobbi Brown Mauve Palette Everything I need for makeup on-the-go is in this palette. Kudos to Bobbi Brown for creating yet another perfect palette.
2. CHANEL Haute Chocolat Nail Colour It was love at first sight with this deep brown, shimmery polish—and the honeymoon’s not over yet. I love this polish.
3. CLINIQUE Comfort on Call moisturizer This has been my go-to moisturizer for weeks. There is no scent to irritate my dry, sensitive skin.
4. CoverGirl LashBlast Mascara I like the waterproof formula—it does amazing things to my lashes.
5. CLINIQUE Blushwear Cream Stick in Shy Blush This color is so perfect for my skin and I love the convenience of the cream stick.
6. Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream The incredibly creamy texture and amazing scent of this hand cream make up for the price.
7. Zoya Nail Polish in Erika How could I NOT include my namesake polish on this list?
I’ve seen a few lists from other beauty bloggers around the web this week. Check them out:
