Trix out your nails with Zoya's "Trixie" nail lacquer

While on the hunt for one fab nail polish I came across Zoya's professional nail lacquer line.
What I love about Zoya is that not only do their lacquers come in a wide range of colors and shades but its also a natural nail polish designed to be free of the most harmful toxins and provide the longest wear possible on natural nails.

Zoya Nail Polish is the brainchild of Zoya Reyzis who, as a pregnant aesthetician and salon owner in 1984, realized the need for a healthier and more durable solution. Today Zoya Nail Polish is available at the finest salons and spa's worldwide and frequently receives top ratings in fashion, health, and pregnancy magazines world wide. When asked why they chose Zoya Nail Polish, most people say " Amazing Color Selection" and "...amazing wear ...nothing compares on manicures and pedicures..."

I got my hands on "Trixie" which is a bright sparkling silver metallic with foil finish. Its super opaque and you will really only need 1-2 coats max to get the desired effect.
This bright silver shade can go from day to night every day of the week and will work with just about any outfit.

At a cost of approx $7.00 usd over at Art Of Beauty its a must for any woman's polish collection.

Before and After Pics

These sister were running on little sleep but even through the craziness of the wedding day were calm, cool and collected!

They are naturally beautiful and so I had a great canvas to work on.

Here is the before and after of the blushing bride and her sister.
