As much as I change my nail color, I should have these posted much more! I’m going to try to make sure I share more nail colors with you guys. So let’s start with the nail color for today, China Glaze’s “Life Preserver” from the Anchors Away Collection.
On a scale of 1 to 5, I’d say the opaqueness is a 4. I used 2 full coats for this application.
I like this color a lot because it’s still bright enough for Spring/Summer but could transition well to Fall.
When you think of a foundation brush, a flat kabuki brush may not be your first thought, however I’m sold on the Sigma F80 brush! It gives great even coverage, with an airbrushed effect. It doesn’t soak up product like a sponge can or leave streaks.
So far I have not had any shedding and the handle has held up through multiple washes. In this video I show you how I use it to apply my foundation (MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC44).
A winner in my book!

Kind of late but you still have some time!
ANNOUNCING THE 2011 ZOYA NAIL POLISH EXCHANGE
Out with the old – in with the new! In honor of Earth Day from April 20, 2011 – April 27, 2011(11:59PM EST) Zoya Nail Polish will exchange* your old, out-of-style, unwanted nail color and replenish your nail polish supply with fresh Zoya fashion colors. All you pay is $4.00 per bottle for shipping and processing. Choose from over 300 formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (DBP) free, long-lasting, award winning, healthy colors to replace your old color! Zoya will properly dispose of your old polish. Here’s all you need to do!
1. Go to Zoya.com and pick out the polishes you would like and add them to your cart. You must select at least 6 bottles and no more than 24 bottles of polish (Salons accounts minimum 12 maximum 48 bottles.)
2. Apply the code: EARTHZOYA
3. Your order value will be adjusted to reflect the promotion
4. SUBMIT your order!
Then Zoya will ship out your NEW polish! YEA! Once you get your order (Here is where the exchanging* happens)
Ship back the equivalent number of bottles to the ones you received to the return address below. (ie. If you got 6 bottles of Zoya – you would send us 6 NON-ZOYA polishes)
Include a copy of your order receipt and ship to the following address(please check with you carrier on the proper way to ship nail polish) To clarify the exchange: You do not have to send us the exact amount of bottles that you are ordering. You can send any quantity up to that amount. You can also donate. If you decide you don’t want to do either, it’s ok "Offer is not contingent on customer returning polish" we will still love you and send you the Zoya polishes 🙂 We’ll just send you on a guilt trip for a while 🙂
I am head over heels in love with the Mint Julep pigment from Magnolia Makeup and had to do a tutorial using it… Unfortunately I had a bit of a fail because I realized half way through that I wasn’t recording! Ha!
But you’ll get the idea 🙂
