Thks Fr Th Mmrs Giveaway (Zoya Nail Polish, Lipstick, & Hot Lips)

Pin It

I'd like to take this time to thank all of y'all who have supported my blog for the last 10 years! FUCKING TEN YEARS. If you haven't heard already (I've only posted about it briefly in an IG story back at the end of last year haha): We are moving to Sasebo, Japan.

The movers packed our stuff up in May, I've been home in Houston for the last 4 months, and I'm about to make my way to San Diego to join my Husband so we can fly out to Japan very, very soon. I'm not sure what the future will hold for this blog once I get to Japan, both in the immediate and distant future. I know I have a few more Zoya collections to swatch/post but we'll see what happens after that!

So, all that to say THANK YOU for everything. This blog has been a huge journey for me and I can only thank y'all for that. I've connected with people and brands that I never thought would happen. I'd like to host a quick giveaway of some brand new in the box Zoya items I found before the movers came! I apologize to my international readers, this giveaway will have to be US only to make my to do list easier.





a Rafflecopter giveaway Prize provided by Zoya. Giveaway starts 10/10/21 and ends at 12:00AM CST on 10/15/21. Giveaway open to US residents and those with US mailing addresses only. Must be 18 years or older and have a valid email address to enter. Winner has 24 hours to respond to claim prize.

They offer many CBD items: bath salts, gummies, chocolates, tinctures, vapes, topicals and more. I was excited to try CBD Living's Bath Salts as I have tried their tinctures (unflavored, candy cane, and pumpkin spice latte) and I'm a big fan of the quality and price.

Fingerpaints Sparkle Top Coat, OPI Damone Roberts 1968

Going through my stash to decide what to purge before the big move (if you didn't see on my IG Stories, we are moving to Sasebo, Japan), and in typical Lacey fashion... I got distracted by layering pairings. So I present to you, after the jump: OPI Damone Roberts 1968 layered with Jindie Nails Soul Surfing and Fingerpaints Sparkle Top Coat.

Holiday Snow Nail Art

Pin It
Holiday Snow Nail Art

I haven't been able to get the idea of a sponged on snow "French manicure" layered with a ton of different glitters out of my head, so I finally did it. I really wasn't feeling green or red this year for some reason. I can't decide if this looks like a magical, sparkling snow day (I've never had a snow day soooo I'm just guessing here LOL) or a pretty, glittery snow globe!

Macro Shot: Holiday Snow Nail Art 

I applied a light base coat of Finger Paints Sparkle Top Coat (a super oldie but a goodie iridescent micro glitter in a clear base) and then lightly sponged on the "tips" with Zoya Snow White. I actually ran out of makeup sponges I used for nail art after 8 years, so I reached for a regular 'ol dish sponge. I think the pore size of the dish sponge actually made it look more like snow than a makeup sponge would have created, which is more apt for a more solid nail art look. I think the dish sponge created the light and fluffy look I was going for.

Next, I haphazardly and lightly layered on scattered silver holographic top coat: Hungry Asian Dream Car. Then I layered on Essie As Gold As It Gets (a clear base packed with small gold flakies, I highly recommend this polish if you can still get your hands on it!) followed by Zoya Dallas ("clear base with silver glitter, large white hexagonal glitter, and small white glitter running throughout"). 

I think the combo of all those glitter toppers makes it JUST busy enough to make it visually interesting without being over the top. This nail art idea also looked great without the glitter top coats too.

Happy Holidays, y'all!
