Last week, I attended the Get Pretty event at the Polish Bar of Brooklyn (PBB) at their Prospect Heights location.
This cute location is trend driven, where they keep up with all the latest styles/trends in the nail art world.

Hey!
So last Friday was Earth Day, and slowly but surely, lots of cosmetic companies, big and small, have been embracing more natural and organic formulations. So for you earth-conscious beauties out there, here are a few brands to look out for:
HAIR
Hey!!
I recently took advantage of the Zoya Polish Exchange program where you could turn in your old, icky polishes and get brand new Zoya polishes for half price!! This is how I first discovered the line last year and I am forever hooked!!
So I picked 10 polishes – some from their most recent lines and a few classics.
Here’s what i picked out:
Richelle
Richelle – This came out last summer ’09 I think and its a molten bronzey gold, with gold microshimmer. A classic summer colour. On me it looks like shimmery neutral, not too dark and not glittery. Smooth formula. I used 2 coats, but 3 is needed for total coverage and no visible nail line. This is a safe colour for brown (tan, black, latin, desi, arabic) girls.
Trixie
Trixie– I heard a lot about his colour, as it’s very popular!! It’s a bold, futuristic, shiny foiled white silver. The shimmer is fine and it has a minx-like foil finish. I love this!!! It’s kinda like summer whites with an edge!! This would look a-mazing on dark skin as the contrast would make the colour pop!! I expect to see a colour like this in Vogue or SHE Caribbean magazine. So glad I got this one!
Calypso
Calypso – a midtone, peachy, coraly colour with microshimmer. Very pretty, good on medium to dark skintones. Also good for those afraid of bright colours. This one is pigmented but a soft colour. As a Trinbagonian, I could not resist this colour, it will work well on a trip to Maracas!
So I have spoken about Zoya polishes here before. I love that brand! They have a wide variety of colours and they are DBP, toluene, formaldehyde, camphor free and vegan! Great for pregnant ladies and those who want to ‘greenify’ their collection. And they make one of the best nail polish removers on the market that is acetone free!!
Enough of the advert……
So Zoya is having their 2010 Nail Polish Exchange.

This is how I got introduced to the brand last year. I was able to get 8 of their polishes at half price! All you have to do is send in at least 6 bottles of any non-Zoya polish and get polishes of your choice for $3.50 apiece. You’ll probably can’t send these via USPS as they are considered flammable, but your sparkling new Zoya ones aren’t!!!.
I am laying out my old polishes that I want to get rid of and I will be taking advantage of this offer! 🙂 Act fast!! This ends on June 30, 2010.
