My Namesake Polish! Zoya Kimber!

Hi guys! Happy Friday!!!! I'm feeling fairly decent now, so I'm looking forward to getting some things done this weekend.

Today I have my namesake polish to share with you! Zoya Kimber from Zoya's Surf Collection! I love this polish, although in all honestly I was really hoping that my namesake would be blue, but I do love me some pinks.

Zoya Kimber is a gorgeous Magenta/Pink with lovely golden shimmer. In some lights it tends to lean more Coral, but in direct light it's pretty pink. It reminds me of China Glaze Strawberry Strawberry Fields, which is one of my fave CG pinks. I don't have many complaints about this baby, other than my bottle got a bit thick on the second coat, but nothing unmanageable. I do tend to polish under a pretty strong light, so all the heat can thicken up a polish pretty quickly. I've also been having some issues with bubbling and chipping lately, but I'm not sure that isn't my lazy butt not really cleaning the nail plate after I moisturized before I used Kimber. I'm also experimenting with base and top coats since my nails are thinning a bit since I stopped taking Biotin and after buffing out some stainage.  Please feel free to comment with your fave base coat for thin/weak nails!

Anyway, back to the good stuff! Here is Zoya Kimber! All photos taken in direct sunlight.

1 coat Nail Tek Intensive Therapy II
1 coat Instant Artificials
2 coats Zoya Kimber
1 coat Butter Londer PD Quick Top Coat

Isn't she just stunning? I'm just tickled to have a polish that shares my name (even if it's not named after me specifically), and the fact that I just love it to death is a bonus! I really want to use this in a gradient and some stamping. I guarantee you will be seeing more of this beauty soon!

I hope you all have a great weekend and thanks for stopping by!

Happy Polishing!

Zoya Beach and Surf Collection for Summer 2012!

Hi guys! I don't typically post Press Releases since all of our fave bloggers usually post them and I don't want to bog down your blogrolls with the same post, but today I have to make an exception.

There are polishes out there that carry my name, Kim's, Kimberly's...but I have yet to see a Kimber (I'll answer to Kim or Kimberly but I prefer Kimber. That's what my Hubby calls me, my close friends, etc.)....until now! Zoya is releasing Kimber as part of the Surf half of their Beach and Surf Collection! And it's pink! And a Metallic Foil! Although Blue is my fave polish color, Pink is my all time favorite color, and foil finishes are a must have for me. It's like Zoya snuck into my head and created this polish just for me (How vain of me!  LOL. Hey, a girl can dream, right?)! I don't mean to go on and on about Zoya Kimber, but I guarantee I'll be counting down until I can snag a bottle, and mentioning it often. I apologize in advance!

I do love the rest of this collection as well, and cannot wait to get a hold of these babies! I'm not usually one to get so anxious and excited about an entire collection, but this one really stands out for me. I cannot wait until some of you more popular bloggers out there get these and swatch them!!!!

I'll stop babbling now. Here's the official press release. Enjoy!
