Zoya Sunsets Collection (Summer 2016)

Hi lovelies! Today I have my long overdue of the Zoya Sunsets Collection from Summer 2016 to share with you. I had these muled back from the US for me last year thanks to the gorgeous Kirsty (over at FairyTales Nails), and I'd been waiting for Summer to come back around to swatch them. I managed to get a bit behind, but I'm just sneaking them in for the end of August. Read on for my full swatches and more info!

My First Watermarble!

*Contains Press Samples*

Hello! Today I have a very exciting post - my first watermarble! I'd consider this my first official attempt at watermarbling, so be kind! I did try it out a few weeks ago, but I wasn't brave enough to actually dip my nails in. This time round reviewing for Born Pretty Store I asked for a watermarble tool. I then had no choice but to dip, and dip I did! Read on to find out more!
