Zoya Nude Nails - 2014

Zoya Nude Nails - 2014

Zoya Nude Nails - 2014 

Spring has finally arrived, both the calender and Atlanta weather are finally coming into sync.

The nude nail will always be a favorite during the warmer months and there are many color options available including blush, pink, creams, and chocolates.  Yes, a chocolate nude

Zoya Polishes are long lasting and toxin free.  The brand was recently named by Martha Stewart Weddings as the Best Natural nail polish. Is a better endorsement needed?

I'm enamored with Zoya PixieDust polishes.  While they can be worn alone, I normally try and find a comparable shade as a base coat, and then cover that with the Pixie Dust polish.   The Zoya Pixie Dust in Godiva, is a beige nude with heavy sparkle.   

Zoya's Amanda shade is peachy cream polish with pink and brown undertones. A beautiful shade for darker skin tones. 

The Rue shade is a nude pink shade.  Part of the Naturel Collection and can be mixed with other colors in the collection to create your own shade. Also included in the collection is the Taylor shade.  A light toffee cream color.  Click here to view the entire collection for ideas on tone on tone coloring.
