Urban Decay Zodiac Nail Color



Urban Decay is back in the nail game and better than ever. Limited edition, Zodiac, is a blackened green with mostly green and gold micro glitter, and some bright blue micro glitter. The blue glitter adds extra dimension and makes this polish extra special. I also personally love a micro glitter/sparkle finish. I find this slightly thinner formulation very easy to use, 2 coats is still opaque for me, but depending on how you apply you may need 3 coats. Zodiac is still available on urbandecay.com and from Sephora, which is where I purchased.

Deborah Lippmann Spring Reveries Nail Collection - Flowers In Her Hair


Deborah Lippmann makes some of my favorite polishes, so when I saw the Spring Reveries Nail Collection display at Sephora I knew I would be walking away with at least one beauty. This collection is perfect for Spring, if not exactly thrilling and unique. I purchased Flowers In Her Hair, a pastel mint green creme with a hint of turquoise. I had my eye on Essie's Fashion Playground for a pastel mint shade for Spring, but that one has a hint of shimmer and I think this color looks best as a true creme, so I'm glad I went with Deborah Lippmann's version.


I used no base coat, 2 coats of Flowers In Her Hair, and 1 coat of of Seche Vite Dry Fast Top coat. Seche Vite plays nice with this particular nail polish, but I've had some shrinkage issues with others. Flowers In Her Hair is a thicker, creamy formula, not chalky or streaky - really excellent to work with.



I went to a VIB Rouge event at Sephora last Sunday, was a fun event and great way to shop and save 15% off. The sale goes until April 11th, using codes ROUGETICKET, VIBTICKET, or TICKET depending on what loyalty program you belong to at Sephora. So far I've picked up 3 nail polishes at 15% off, I may pick up a few more still...I'm definitely tempted.
