Once upon a time, in March, I received this little Gem(ma) in the mail. I posted immediately about how excited I was to have her in my collection.
Now that it’s on the nail, I’m even more enamored. This one is amazing. Oh, Zoya.. thank you! This shade of green is so subtle and soft, and then there’s a little twinkle of blue/purple iridescent sparkle. Exactly how I like to do beauty; not in-your-face but subtle and unique.
This polish is from the Spring ’11 Intimate collection Zoya came out with not long ago. Go. Pick. It. Up.

I do take vitamins daily but nothing outrageous. Use your cuticle oil before bedtime too- I feel like it helps for healthier nails. I make sure to use a few coats on the nails, base, color, top coat- which helps from breaking. If you have peeling, try gently buffing that down so it doesn’t flake up making you want to pull it! Don’t buff too much off or it can weaken your nails- my tips, I hope something works for you!
Wow that color looks so pretty. I’m usually not a huge fan of green nailpolish but that one looks nice. Your nails always look so pretty too. Do you take any special vitamins to grow them out or do you do anything special? I have been trying really hard to grow mine out so any tips and tricks you have would be appreciated. I did start using Hoofer’s Choice nail and cuticle cream from Sally’s and it seems to work really well on softening my cuticles.
Thanks, Calie
