**************PRESS SAMPLE******************
Today I have some beautiful polishes that Aly from Aly's Dream Polish sent over for me to try out. I am so excited to be sharing these with you. I have to tell you how excited I was when the package arrived, at first I was a little confused because I couldn't remember if I bought anything (I was pretty sure I hadn't) but then I opened up the package and all was explained. Then I unwrapped these and I squeeled with excitement. These are so gorgeous!!
I will warn you now that this post is pic heavy! I wanted to provide you all with as many pics of this as I can. I however am disappointed that I was not able to get any pics outside in the sunshine but it's been cloudy and gloomy here in Minnesota with yet another huge snowstorm on it's way later today. I am hoping Spring comes real soon because I am sick of this snow!!
I was sent 3 colors from her line and I couldn't decide which one was going to be my favorite just by looking at the bottles. I received 74 Strawberry, 75 Spicy Sriracha, and 8 Sky Blue. It was like it was Christmas Day in my house when I got these, lol!
On to the colors!
First up is 74 Strawberry, it is a beautiful coral-y pink holographic polish. I say coral-y pink becuase it's not a full on pink, it has just a hint of a coral hue to it. It's really pretty. I love the holo in this one. I makes it such a unique color!
Next we have 75 Spicy Sriracha.
This is a bright red holographic polish. It almost borders on a neon red. I have a feeling I may have to hide this one from my Mom when she looks through my stash to pick out her mani colors because she loves a good red and she may try to swipe this one from me, lol!
Again, look at the holo in this one! So pretty and unique!
And last but certainly not least we have 8 Sky Blue!!
This one's name I think perfectly described it's color. It is the perfect shade of blue just like the sky on a sunny clear day!
I think that this one is my favorite out of the bunch because I just LOVE the holo in this one. You can see the holo really stood out in my pics for this color. I just love it!!
All of Aly's Dream Polishes contain cosmetic grade holographic pigments and all her polishes are 4free, meaning they are free of dibutyl phthalate (DBP), camphor, toluene, and formaldehyde. All her materials are cruelty free as well.
The formula on all of these were the same, it was nice and smooth. Sky Blue and Spicy Sriracha probably could have been one coaters on me but I like no visible nail line so I put 2 coats on. They went on smoothly, no streaking or gloopiness and the dry time was pretty good for all three. All pictures here are 2 coats of polish and pics were taken indoors under soft lighting bulbs, no flash was used in these pictures either.
Aly's Dream Polish retails for $12 for a full sized 0.5fl oz bottle unless you want a custom color (which she does do) then it's $16 for a full sized bottle. You can purchase all her polishes here on her StoreEnvy store site. You can also visit her Facebook page here and follow her there!
I hope you all enjoyed these as much as I do and if you haven't tried any of her polishes you have to run out and log into her store to get yourself one (or two, or three, lol) today!

French Mani with Zoya Purity and Rhinestones
Here's just a simple french manicure that I did using Zoya Purity as my white tips. I just love this white, I have other whites from other brands but I find myself constantly reaching for Purity and I just can't explain why. For me it just works and goes on so smoothly. I mean, look at how bright that white tip is!!
For the tip guides I used some of my nail vinyls that I ordered from Linda at Nail Vinyls. You can check out all her vinyls here. I have purchased a few different designs of these and I absolutely love them! They work so well and give me such clean lines.
I then added some rhinestones to the ring fingers for something different. I saw this on Instagram and really liked it. I can't remember who it was who had it on Instagram so I can't give them credit for this design but I am letting you know that this was not my design.
Zoya polishes can be purchased at Ulta stores, select salons, and on Zoya's site here. They retail for $9 for a full sized .5fl oz bottle.
