I tend to over-do things

Oh, that subject title hits a little too close to comfort, but that's neither here nor there. I follow a few YouTube beauty gurus on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram. One of them is Mary, better known as aLoveTart. Hr videos are to the point, very informative, and she is a pleasure to watch. And on another note, I need new beauty gurus to watch. Any suggestions? Either way, I follow Mary in Instagram and she posted a picture of a coupon offered by Zoya, the nail polish company. Starting on Monday, they are giving away 3 full size nail polished (a $8 value) for FREE! All you pay for is $10 for s&h. Now, I don't do my own nails. I have crap nails. But I do hit the nail salon a lot. And their selections are usually as crap as my nails. So I couldn't help myself. And it's just fun to browse onlines. So I went for it.

I basically paid $10 for a $24 value, not including s&h which would tack on an additional cost. I always gravitate to dark colors. I think it compliments my skin tone well. As well as corals because, well, everyone looks good in coral. I decided to get Riley which is a deeper, vibrant red. I also picked Paris because it looks like the perfect oxblood color. And in my opinion, oxblood is such a classic, sexy hue for anytime of year. My last choice was Kalista, which is a color I am very excited about. It took forever for meto pick just three colors. I read the reviews as well, which took time. All 3 colors are very opaque, between a 4 and 5 on the site. After placing my order, I went back to Mary's post on Instagram to thank for her the head's up. Then, I started reading everyone's choices and going back to the site to look at their choices. Some people picked things I didn't even look at. So... I may have.... sorta... placed a second order -_-.

I picked another red, which is kind of silly, but Alegra is very glittery, very fun. Then I went for a gold because I am a sucker for gold everything! Richelle is a gold/neutral color that caught my eye. It was between Richelle and another color, Jules. I saw the reviews on Jules and almost went with it, but chose Richelle. Then I read someone that this spring white and neutral colors will be all the rage and that is how I came to choosing Pasha. I love the name, too! These also fall between the 4 to 5 on the opaque scale. I can't wait for my order. I paid $20 for a $48 value!

And can you believe that I actually want to get more?! But no I can't, even though I have my eye on 3 more: Kissy, Faye, and Blazen. Those seem to be very popular with everyone. But I can't, I'm done.

The code is ZOYA2013 and expires in about a week, I forgot the exact day. Well YOU be making a purchase? What colors catch your fancy

Thank you for letting me know about this great deal! I was so excited to shop on the site I had seen them but never wanted to spend $8 on one polish on top of s&h. So this was perfect. I love the colors you got I hope I don't place another order lol
