Nail Polish Colors Spring 2018: The Zoya Thrive Collection, Swatches and Color Descriptions

It's the first full day of spring but it doesn't look like spring here in the Philadelphia area! Snow is coming down fast and furious with the possibility of 12+ inches! 😭 This is  our fourth Nor'Easter this March. Ridiculous!!!  At least my nails look like spring! Zoya's Thrive Collection of six colors for spring is happy and nicely pigmented. The rich opaque colors go on smooth and easy with no streaking. There are three creams and three metallics. One of the metallics, Leisel, is a very sheer shimmering topper. All the colors are gorgeous!!! You must add them to your nail polish collection!

Leg and Bikini Waxing FAQ

Waxing leaves your legs smooth and beautiful. I have many clients who wax their legs, bikini areas and underarms consistently.  They see a significant reduction in the amount of hair they have. The skin feels silky smooth with no stubble, showers are quicker since no shaving is needed, there are no stinging legs when you go into the salty sea water like you can get on freshly shaved legs plus, there is no shadow of dark hairs showing through the skin because the hair is removed by the root.  People who have never waxed before have many questions about waxing.  Here are some questions people frequently ask me: Do I have to grow the hair?

The hair must be 1/8"-1/4" long so the wax can adhere to it and pull it out.  That's about 10-14 days of growth. Make your waxing appointm...
