Sigma Brushes & Zoya Polish

Hey again y'all! Well, I got my Sigma brushes!! I ordered The Cities - Paris. I love them!! However, I will have to order some brushes separately. I found that I still need a few others, but luckily you can order whatever you need! Ok, so the pictures!

Love this packaging! So stylish!

It also came with this lovely guide about all of the brushes it comes with, as well as descriptions of the other three cities brushes.

This is how everything looks for travel. This should be very convenient for vacations! 

Somehow I can't get this photo to flip, but these are the brushes it comes with! From top to bottom: Eye Liner - E05; Tapered Blending - E35; Small Tapered Blending - E45; Large Shader - E60; Small Contour - F05; Duo Fibre Powder/Blush - F15; and Large Powder - F30. The small silver brush came free and is another blending brush. So far I am loving these brushes! The bristles are very soft and they're all around well made brushes. These brushes are red to represent the romance capital of the world, Paris. Very pretty!

Here they all are in one of the cups. I love this! It works so perfectly on my countertop! I used a few this morning, and they work wonderfully! I'm excited to try more! I highly recommend these brushes! I hope you all give them a try! Like I said, I'm going to have to buy a few more for my purposes, but is that really a bad thing? ;-) 

Ok, now for my Zoya polish! Another product I am highly impressed with! I was going to wait until my Nails Inc started chipping more, but boy did that stay on well! But since I got my brushes, I decided to go ahead. As you all know, I purchased the shade 'Kelly'. How could I pass that up since it's my name?! Anyhow, I love the shade! I was pleasantly surprised. I'm not a huge fan of gray, but this is really a different shade of it! It has blue and purple undertones and really just is beautiful. I also was completely impressed with the application! It went on so smoothly! I'll have to try some other shades, but they all go on this well... Zoya may be my new favorite brand of polish! Dare I say I like it better than butter London and OPI?! I'll try more shades and see. But I expect that statement will be true. Here's the picture!

Well, there you have it! My newest purchases! I am very happy with both!! My next debate is whether or not I should buy Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette. I've seen varying reviews on it. And having three Too Faced palettes I'm not sure I need it. Any thoughts? Til next time, glam it up!

***Update*** I ended up buying the palette with my VIB discount. I figured that was a better buy than lip balm that with shipping ended up being $27. Lip balm! The palette had free shipping plus comes with 12 shades, a double sided brush and gloss. Soooo better buy I'm thinking. Will update when it arrives!

Nails Inc. Wyndham Collection

Hey y'all! I did my nails. Again! haha I went out yesterday in search of a new purse and Zoya nail polish. I did get my purse but I ended up buying Nails Inc polish instead! Sephora doesn't sell Zoya, but I found this polish which I had noticed before and didn't get for Christmas. So I went ahead and got it. Zoya will have to wait until I can get to Ulta. They may not even have the shade I'm looking for, which is Kelly. (yes, they have shades with real names! And I have a shade! According to their site it's the must have color of the season! Check out www.zoya.com to see what shade you are!) Anyway, back to Nails Inc! They have three different collections for the 'special effects'. The Wyndham Collection, The Old Vic Collection and the Donmar Collection. Each comes with two polishes. A base color and an overglaze top coat. The set is $20. So it's pricey, but really not too bad when you consider it's $10 a bottle and that's still cheaper than butter London. I had never used a Nails Inc product before this and I must say I was highly impressed! I purchased the Wyndham collection which has a base of Teal Black Kensington polish and the Wyndham overglaze top coat. (Donmar comes with Plum Black Chelsea and Donmar overglaze. Old Vic comes with Black Taxi polish and Old Vic overglaze) This polish went on so smooth and so easily! I don't think I've had a polish go on so smoothly! I also thought it seemed to dry faster than most other polishes. All you do with this polish is apply two coats of the base (after first applying a clear base coat of course) and then apply a coat of the overglaze (or enough to how you like it). Then finish of course with a clear top coat. We'll see how long it lasts! It was difficult to get good pictures of them because of their different sparkly look! I saw someone say they look like granite... and I think that's a pretty accurate description! I couldn't think of a good way to describe them but I think that would be it. Here's the pics..... as best as I could get them. haha

In some light the specks look blueish, but most of the time I'd say it's greenish. Either way, I love it!! 

Not much else to report on today.... I did purchase some Sigma brushes last night online. (yeah, I had a Treat Yo Self day haha) So I'll update y'all as soon as they get here and I can try them out! I bought The Cities - Paris, which comes with seven brushes and a travel container for them that turns into two cups to hold the brushes in! And they're in a pinkish-red color. I've been seeing a lot of these brushes on my new favorite beauty blog, Makeup by Tiffany D! (there's a link to her blog on the left side) Anyway, so far I definitely recommend Nails Inc! (they also have a magnetic polish that looks interesting..) I'll be back hopefully soon with a review on my Sigma brushes! Til then, glam it up!
