Pine Cone Place Card

One thing I love about the holidays is creating a gorgeous tablescape. When I am deciding on my tablescape first I think of how I want my place cards to look. This Thanksgiving I decided on pine cone place holders. I gathered up large pine cones, made tags with my Sizzix Big Shot and secured the tags with a piece of raffia.

Just another Mani Monday: Zoya gems & jewels Holiday 2011

For the holiday season Zoya released \”Gems & Jewels\” as their 2011 holiday collection. The collection features six new shades. Three of the polishes are jewel toned metallic shimmers and the remaining three are glitter glazes which feature bar glitter.  Zoya is always a step above everyone else… as their collection features jewel tones which no one else seems to have in a fall or winter collection despite their popularity.

Holly is an evergreen shimmer. This color is gorgeous and a definite must for those holiday parties.

{Izzy}

Izzy is a gorgeous raspberry pink shimmer. Come the holidays usually you always see red and green together. I love to pair pink and green together since I am not a red fan. So you can imagine my excitement when I discovered Izzy in the collection.

{Noel}

Noel is a icy blue shimmer that will immediately have you thinking of winter. Pair this color with a little black or white dress and you have a perfect holiday look.

Let\’s talk a touch of tinsel 
The glitter glazes; Rina, Kssy and Twila  feature tinsel like pieces in them.


Rina is a clear base that is packed with pieces of green tinsel with the slightest touch of blue.

Kssy is a clear base that is packed with raspberry pink pieces of tinsel as well as gold tinsel. This polish would be perfect paired with a dark polish

Twila is a clear base that is packed with bright icy blue tinsel with a touch of iridescent tinsel.

 Try these glazes out over, black polish for a chic look this holiday season.

Overall thoughts
I love this entire collection. While the three colors have the tendency to be beyond cliche this collection has stepped up it\’s game. From the gorgeous shimmers to the fun tinsel polishes I would highly recommend hitting up the Zoya website and getting yourself a set! PS anytime I wear a glitter glaze (tinsel polish) on top of a black polish I get so many compliments!

What do you think of this collection?

This is the time of year when I start to dig out all things red. It\’s the only time of year you\’ll find me wearing my Hourglass Femme Rouge Lipstick in Raven, and various shades of red polishes. I am even thinking about wearing a red dress or red tights for Thanksgiving and Christmas.  
Do you wear red year round or only around the holiday?

I am not a country music fan at all. However I am a huge Carrie Underwood fan…. including her music. Every time Carrie steps out she looks amazing from her outfits to her hair and makeup the girl is flawless… we can\’t forget her killer legs! Are you a Carrie Underwood fan?
