What a crazy, crazy weekend this has been. We hosted two parties, yesterday a baby shower for one of C's cousins, and today a Mother's Day barbecue for my family. Having those two little cats earned me a bouquet of red carnations from my parents and a couple lottery tickets from my youngest sis. Whatever shall I buy if I win? Hmmm....
I decided to give a couple of my new Zoyas from the Surf collection a proper wearing. Here's Rory.
Rory was the first one of the new Surf collection that really caught my eye. It's a lilac laced, silvery pink with an incongruence to its shimmer that translates as textured and a little bit muted. It's unusual and gorgeous, and I especially love how it looks in the shade (bottom photo). It applied with typical Zoya ease, which is great when you've got guests arriving in an hour, you've got to make an emergency run to the grocery store, and you haven't even begun to work on your nails.
YES, yes, a foot shot, because I love these colors and they look so pretty next to each other! That's Zuza on my toesies. :)
My mom's been in Holland, Germany, and Luxembourg for the past three weeks so today was her welcome home party, too. She showed us some amazing photos of the famous flowers and some great World War I historical shots, and she brought back some presents...
Catrice Heavy Metallilac, Max Factor Deep Mauve (she said she went to three places and could not find Fantasy Fire, by the way), and Gosh Ocean. Thanks Mom, you did awesome!! I can't wait to wear these.
And with that, I'm kind of exhausted and ready to veg the rest of the night.
Happy Mother's Day, have an excellent evening, and thank you for reading. :)
I'm loving pinks lately. I was planning to run to Ulta because I heard the Beach & Surf Collection is there now. I need Shelby because that is my daughter's name and I just may have to pick up Rory too!
ReplyDeleteDude, I really am, too! I've realized quite a few of my recent notds have been pink in some variation.
DeleteShelby is such a great name! <3 How fun for your daughter to have a polish named after her.
So gorgeous! I love Zuza and Rory is really pretty!
ReplyDeleteThey are! I know I'm going to be wearing both a lot this summer. :)
DeleteYou are so right about Zuza & Rory going together so well. It looks great and like you belong at a beach somewhere with a cocktail in your pink mani'd hand. :-)
ReplyDeleteTee hee hee :) That sounds so awesome right now!
DeleteI haven't tried Rory yet.. every time I've pulled out Zuza, I want to pair it with Kimber! None of my other Zoyas from the summer collections have gotten any love yet haha
ReplyDeleteOh, I have Kimber, too! I've been so excited for these three. I stalked my Ulta until they came in.
DeleteMy beautiful Rory. She's a beauty to behold.. I love her!!!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the new addition to your collection as well. That fantasy fire is never anywhere to be found. Lol...
:) Rory's awesome. And thanks! I didn't hold out much hope for FF, but I was impressed that my mom went to three different stores for it. She's not even into that kind o' thing.
DeleteEeek! I am so jealous! Also I LOVE the foot shot - I wish more people would share their pedis - I love seeing how people mix it up. Rory and Zuza are the TOP of my Beach and Surf collection wishlists for sure. Such GORGEOUS swatches - what brush do you use for clean up?
ReplyDeleteI don't use a brush. I use a qtip if I need to. And thanks for saying! I felt like I kind of slapped this on that day. All the activity surrounding the baby shower did not leave me much time to spend on my nails. Ah, the beauty of Zoya's formula... lol. :)
DeleteI'm from Holland and I can tell you that Fantasy Fire is a UK exclusive, nowhere to be found but there...:( Great haul though! And great mani and pedi!
ReplyDeleteBummer, dude! Well, it's a good thing my uncle visits London so often, then. :D I'm so excited to give these three a proper wearing. And thanks! :)
DeleteRory! And Zuza! Both so gorgeous! And how awesome of your mom to bring you back gifts! :-)

I know <3 She's the best.
