I. AM. OBSESSED. Zoya's matte velvet lacquer is the coolest nail polish I've ever had the pleasure of using. It's smoky soft while still bold and bright, creating a really neat effect! And the dry time is incredibly fast, hardly any down time. I currently own the forest green color (called Veruschka) but I can't wait to get my hands on the other two colors above! Oh, who am I kidding, I want every matte velvet color they make. I'm completely geeking out over these... obviously.    

Current style crush! Pepto pink skinnies! I'm having visions of pairing these (or these) with an over-sized, off-white sweater. It's a perfect lead in for spring! I'm already over this winter business and it's only January (wahh wahh).

Eight simple steps to the perfect blow out! I've done this the past couple of times my hair has met my blow dryer and I've got to say it really helps keep my hair from looking like a complete frizzy mess! Fairly quick (compared to a normal blow dry) depending on the thickness and length of your hair but oh so worth it! :) (source)
