Zoya Coraline & Kate plus Jelly Sandwiches

Today I have two of the three Zoya Jellies from the Blogger Collection by Birchbox.  This collection is still available for $22 (shipping included).  I love a good jelly and I'm happy that Zoya came out with these beauties!!  First up is Zoya Coraline, alone and used in a jelly sandwich..

Zoya Coraline


Coraline is a warm juicy tangerine jelly inspired by Eleventh Gorgeous.  I usually am not an "orange person," but this citurs-y orange really caught my eye.  Jellys really aren't meant to wear alone (unless you like sheer polishes).  They are more of a "layering polish", but after four generous coats, Coraline looks bright and shiny on her own.  :)

Throw in a layer of Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake, and you have a gorgeous jelly sandwich:


So, the above combo goes something like this:  Four generous coats of Coraline, allow to completely dry, and add a generous coat of Lynnderella One Nutty Fruitcake, then two more thin coats of Coraline.  If you were using a regular creme, this would be a thick mess, but these new jellys are sheer and gorgeous!!

Zoya Kate:


Zoya Kate is a pinkish grapefruit inspired by The Small Things.  Gorgeous!!  Again, this is four generous coats.  This color screams: "Summer!!"  I love this fruity shade of pink.  :)

Zoya Kate and Nubar White and Black Polka Dots make another Jelly Sandwich:


I really like this combo too... It reminds me of salt and pepper.  For this combo I used four generous coats of Zoya Kate, one coat of Nubar White Polka Dots & one coat of Nubar Black Polka Dots, then I topped it off with another thick coat of Kate.

Both of these polishes are pretty and versatile and are still available here.  :)

November Birchbox

Hey Everyone.. I wanted to post some new polishes I just received in the mail, but I'm sicker than a dog today (why do people say that?  Dogs aren't always sick) so I'll just be doing a boring post about my birchbox. LOL.  I'm still on the fence about birchbox.  I feel like I like half of the items each month.  November is only my 3rd month, so I'll stick with it for a while.  For those of you who aren't familiar with birchbox, click here.




You could probably just send me a box full of bubble wrap and I'd be happy because I love nail mail (or anything that isn't a bill)
Everything is always packaged so cute.  I like surprises, so it's like Christmas once a month. :)
Shalimar Perfume by Guerlain...  I like this perfume.  It's a bit too strong for me, but not that bad.  I wouldn't spend the $84 on the bottle, though.
I do love this Eucalyptus body lotion by Thymes.. it's awesome!!  $24 for a large bottle (9.25 fl oz) is worth it.  This bottle is perfect for my purse.  I want to try the Borghese  Hydrating Mud, but my skin is so sensitive, I'm not sure what I'll do.. I may just give it to a friend.
A Zoya!!!  One of my favorite zoyas at that.  It's Sooki and it's my current favorite red!!  Zoya polishes are amazing!!  I want a billion of these cute little bottles!!  As for the "Two Paper Dolls" paper coasters... eh, not so much.
Last, Thymes Kimono Rose body lotion.  I don't like  rose scent, but the lotion is nice.  I'm glad I got the larger size in the eucalyptus!!

What did you get in your November Birchbox?  I think they make like 22 different boxes, so there's something for everyone!!
