11.06.2025
I'm at the finale of my gifted set from the Fall 2025 OPI "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is My Berry Janes, purple shimmer. It took me two times to understand this was a play on Mary Jane shoes... I never wore them in the 90s so I just didn't get it at first.
OPI Track Suited Cutie
11.05.2025
I'm moving into the shimmers from OPI's "What's Your Mani-tude?" collection. This is Track Suited Cutie, a taupe with golden shimmer. I know that OPI called it a shimmery mauve but to me, this reminds me of the taupe that had a chokehold on so many of us about a decade ago.

Zoya Emery
10.13.2025
Today's polish is special to me because it's my name! Okay, so it's my married last name, but still. I'm surprised how many people think it's my first name. Today I have Zoya Emery, from the Fall 2025 Muse collection. This is a "velvet metallic spun from black espresso and antique gold."

Ahem, back to the polish. This is Zoya Bari, which is listed as a warm rose-terracotta cream
