Zoya Naked Manicure Perfector Lavender Review

By Deanna P

Zoya Naked Manicure Lavender Perfector $10.00

 

 

I hate getting a manicure as the process is always a little bit too long for my liking.   Then when I am finally finished I always get a chip a day or two later & the whole experience feels like it was a waste of time.  I tried Zoya Naked Manicure Lavender Perfector & I liked it a lot.  It was subtle enough on my nails to give them a little shine, make them feel stronger, & not show any noticeable imperfections such as chips or dents. I am also not the only person to enjoy the polish’s final results as it was a 2015 Allure Best of Beauty Breakthrough Award Winner! It is definitely a keeper.

While sitting in the nail salon today, thinking about what makeup I will be packing for my upcoming trip this week. I noticed someone reaching over me to grab the attention of my manicurist. As my manicurist is polishing my  nails the girl is requesting the the same blue I am polishing holding up a picture. " Do you have a really vibrant blue" I am looking for   "something that is bright but not a pastel."

There after she looks down at my nails omg like that color.

 

I happen to carry my polish to the nail salon almost every trip because I like what I like honestly.  When Im in love with a color I rather the real thing instead of substitution if the salon doesn't have it so I dont take the chances. 

This nail trip I wanted a vibrant blue. I just got one from floss gloss called EL Capitan. I noticed my latest makeup purchases have been different hues of blue. 

 

Here are my blue picks for the season:

6 Current nail trends you can't live without.

It's no mystery I care more about the finish of my nail polish then I do the finish of a blowout when I'm in the hair salon. I can tell a lot about a woman based off of the condition of her nails the style, shape and color preference.  I use my hands on a consistent basis as I apply make up on my clientele  very frequently. 

in search for seasonal inspiration as normal I stumbled across a few amazing manicures. Manicures by some of my favorite nail techs that I couldn't wait to share with you guys. Jessica Washick is killing it this season as any other here are my favorite now. 

 

1. Ombre Manicure

When you're in the nail salon and you can't quite decide what shade you're ready to go for this summer how about mixing some of your favorite summer pastels in order to create the most amazing Ombre manicure.

 

2.NEON

You can't fail with neons of any shade. Neons pair perfectly with summer fun and brunch. Neon pink, green or orange scream beach weather and swimwear. Don't turn your neons down this summer. Turn them Up! 

3.Vibrant Blue Manicure

Vibrant blues are perfect for summer. Rich blues or cobalt blue is a statement piece on its own. This color looks so good partnered with white wardrobe and you're a fun summer cut off denim shorts. 

 

4. Disco Style Manicure

Glitter is a polish that is suitable for basically any season when in doubt I always go for glitter because it adds a little extra spark to any ensemble when I have no clue what to wear. 

 

5. Fresh White Manicure

This is pretty self-explanatory white manicures are a staple for every woman at some point during her summer. There's something about a white manicure that looks so fresh crispy and clean against any neon maxi dress. White also complements any colored shoe that you wear.

6. Pastel Pink Manicures

If you're looking for something a bit more dainty this summer try out a soft feminine Pink. Pink nail polish complements most complexions during the summertime after our skin has gotten a little sun.
