New Years Nails: Zoya Hazel and Essie Peak of Chic

Normally for New Year's Eve I just wear one of the many polishes I own that fit into the Christmas category. But this year I actually had something in mind for New Year's Eve and I felt like I had to wear it. I suppose this isn't exactly New Yeary either but more so wintery. Anyway, I felt that Hazel was the perfect icy blue (despite coming out in a summer collection)  and Essie's Peak of Chic always made me think of snow. So they seemed like perfect friends to layer. I was going to put the glitter on all of my nails but I thought it looked nice with just some glitter. This would also make a good Hanukkah nails look I think [the glitter could be candles etc].

Zoya Hazel

So pretty in the sun

Essie Peak of Chic

 Hazel is interesting in that not only is it a pale silvery/icy blue but it also has yellowy/gold flakes as well. Peak of Chic is white matte bar glitter with holographic bar glitter. Peak of chic is so pretty in the bottle! I was considering doing a best of 2014 polish list, but I'm not totally sure if I should. I mean most people do a top 10, but I'm not sure I was really in love with enough polishes that were released this year to justify a top 10 list... maybe I'll do a top 5 from this year and top 5 other colors I liked in the year? Maybe I'll just not do that at all? I'll think about it.


Also the first casualty of the year! [Actually the first casualty of my nail polish life]

Urban Decay Zodiac

This was super disappointing, I was organizing my polish this morning and I went to open Zodiac up since I did not wear it during the holiday season like I expected and just wanted to contemplate it. Well I heard cracking and I just assumed it must have been gunked up (even though I've used it once) turns out all the threads cracked off, I went to re cap it after cleaning the broken glass off of my lap and i couldn't even close it properly without cracking even more glass. So I was able to clean out a nearly empty bottle of NYC Grand Central Station (or what ever their fast dry clear/topcoat is called) and pour most of the bottle into there. I saved the Urban Decay bottle [mostly b/c I love the cap] and was able to coat the inside with a layer of polish and I put a ornament wire on it and hung it up on my tree [which needs to come down soon come to think of it]. So now I can still look at how pretty it is in the bottle without having lost the polish.

Stay warm out there! It is supposed to get pretty chilly where I am this coming week.
