Zoya Isla

I'm sorry, I just couldn't wait any longer to take off the Incoco and try more of my holiday polishes. Today I was in the mood for a nice rich glowy red, and Zoya Isla fit the bill perfectly.

This covered nice and easily in 2 coats. I'm head over heels for this color, and it's making me feel so Christmas-y! I absolutely cannot wait for Thanksgiving this Thursday, because that means it's officially the Christmas Season! While I'm not religious at all (I'm actually atheist/agnostic), the holidays are one of my favorite times of the year just because of the time spent with my family. I'm so very close to all of my family and our get-togethers are always lots of fun!

I started the morning with eggnog and the Muppet Christmas Carol while I crocheted some gifts for my family.  I can't wait to put up the Christmas tree and decorations on Friday!!

Diamond Cosmetics Cherry Tobacco

I forgot how much I loved this polish until I put it on again yesterday to take a swatch picture. See, this beauty is being packed away for a swap and Dolores (from A Colorful Bottle) asked me to swatch it one more time to make sure I wanted to send it and so that I had pictures for my blog.

Of course, I fell in love with it all over again when I put it on, but that's when I realized that I CAN'T WAIT to send it to her! I know she will love it and it will probably be one of her favorites, too!

This baby is a beauty even in the shade - a very dark, vampy maroon. But it really comes alive in the sun... Check out this glowy amazing-ness!


So here is my parting with Diamond Cosmetics Cherry Tobacco. (Although I have to admit, I'm already planning another Diamond Cosmetics order for the near future... this one is included). This is probably in my top 10 polishes of all time, and I'm so excited to hear what Dolores thinks of this one - it's already all packed up and ready to go!

**On a side note... I've been using LUSH Lemony Flutter cuticle butter for a few days now, and HOLY GOOSES, my cuticles look SO much better in my photos. I didn't notice too much difference until I went to edit these photos and I didn't have to do ANY retouching! Wow! I'm hooked...

Have you ever done nail polish swaps before? Are you as in love with Cherry Tobacco as I am?
