Zoya Pastel Colors: The Kisses Pastel Jellies Collection, Swatches and Review

Zoya's latest nail polish collection is Kisses, 3 soft romantic cool toned pastel shades. These are Jellie polishes which makes them semi sheer, milky and very glossy. They are very easy to apply with no streaking. They go on sheer but the coverage builds up nicely with more coats if you are looking for a more opaque look.  The colors are Vickie, Libby and Princess. I'm thinking they will be the perfect sexy soft look for Valentine's Day ❣  Leia is the perfect topper for the collection. Leia  has been one of my favorite toppers for quite some time now. I put it on top of many colors to create a shimmering pinkish cast. It looks gorgeous over Faye and I love it over Adel this time of year for a snowy sparkling look. Zoya recommends it over the Jellies for amazing sparkle. Leia is a sheer sparkling white with flecks of gold, green and fuchsia. I see lots of pink. Here is Leia by itself. I used two coats of the pastel colors then topped with them one coat of Le...

Overnight Egg and Cheese Casserole Recipe

I always make this yummy egg and cheese casserole for breakfast on Christmas morning along with many other foods that have become Christmas day traditions. It puffs up so beautifully in the oven. It's a family favorite. My niece especially looks forward to it every Christmas morning. Many people have been asking for the recipe lately. I found out my husband has been doing a bit of bragging about our morning feast!!! This dish is very simple and is assembled the night before so you just pop it in the oven in the morning.  The recipe calls for bread. Sandwich loaf white bread works the best to create a light fluffy casserole. I use whole wheat white bread. Sara Lee makes one you can find in most grocery stores. It's more nutritious than plain old white bread and still works well. Himalayan pink salt is my go to salt for it's tasty flavor. I like to use sharp cheddar cheese or a blend of sharp and mild cheddar cheeses for bold taste. Egg and Cheese Casserole A ...

Snowman Nail Design

My 2017 Holiday Nail Designs  The theme for my holiday nail designs this year is A Snowman's World. I entered these designs in a holiday nail contest. I wasn't the winner but t hank you to those who voted for me! 😘  Click here to see the winners.   My inspiration came from our first snow of the season we just had, December 10th, here in the Philadelphia area. It was the perfect day to stay cozy in the house, watch the snow fall and paint the natural beauty a snowman would see on a winter day. I wanted soft colors: pastel shades of pink, mint and lavender, mauvy putty, black and white against a blue gray background with lots of icy sparkle. Acrylic paint is my favorite for painting nail art. It goes on smooth and it's easy to mix a multitude of colors. I also used Zoya Jana  for painting my snowman's hat and pine cone design because it is the perfect mauvy putty color I was thinking of. Plus, it saved me the trouble of mixing up the paint.🎨 ...
