Zoya, Myrta.

Applying for jobs is a full-time job ya'll.... I've been hitting it extra hard lately. I've had some success
(which has been a long time coming) so I'm really hoping good things come of it.

Meanwhile, I did manage to paint both my finger nails and toe nails this gorgeous summery shade.


Zoya, Myrta is described on Zoya's website as:

'a warm medium orange coral with red undertone, gold and silver metallic shimmer, and a foil-like finish. The coral color of Myrta is soft, but the foil finish gives it added warmth and glow.'

I think that description is dead-on accurate. I love these types of corals for summer. It's no secret that one of my all time favorite nail polishes is Essie's Escapades which is also in that same color family. It's a shame that Essie is no longer cruelty free.


The formula on this polish is ideal; it's buttery smooth and applies with ease. 2 coats and done. Very little clean up needed. Zoya polishes are typically top of the line, once in a great moon I will get a dud, but for the most part the brand has great quality polishes. Myra was part of the Zoya Beach & Surf Summer 2012 Collection.

She looks great on my toes too and is holding up very well; better than most. 

Ok, gang. Time to get back to the grind. I sure hope you guys are enjoying summer. Drop me a comment and let me know how your summer is going, what your favorite summer nail color is, or any other interesting things you wanna share with me...

    You're looking for another job?! Sick of seasonal, or something else? I accounting firms a year ago and then about two months ago decided to bite the bullet and form my own entity to provide QuickBooks training, since we don't offer that service at my day job. I work pretty much all the time now, hence the missing blog posts, LOL.

    Oh, and Myrta...it's the only orange-ish polish I own that I adore. <3

      Yes, I am over the Seasonal thing. I cannot qualify for a home loan with seasonal income and Block is making it harder & harder for me to do my job & earn enough money to live all year. So, I really need a full-time job all year long. I need health benefits and I need to start saving for retirement (Block doesn't offer me either of those).

      You know I really need to learn QuickBooks myself; a lot of jobs ask about experience with it. Do you have online courses?

    I am not doing online training as of right now...I do get a lot of local people who need help. I usually do training in person.

    Here's what I would recommend: Look into the QuickBooks ProAdvisor certification. You won't be sorry! Once you're certified, a lot of doors will open for you. I have worked with QB for almost 20 years, but you can learn the program through the very helpful ProAdvisor certification videos and the supplemental guides. And if you sign up for the full ProAdvisor plan ($549.99 a year), you get all the Intuit QB software for free. This is thousands of dollars worth of software. You can use the programs for practice, which is the best way to learn in my opinion. You also get free access to QB Online for Accountants, which is super beneficial since everybody is moving to the cloud more and more.

    Here is the link to all the info:

    Please feel free to email me if you have any questions about the program or certification. :)

      Awesome! I've been asking my Workforce Development agency about QB training for months now! I will definitely sign up for that. Thank you so much!

Salon Perfect, Kaboom and Shocked.

I've got two of the new Neon Collision polishes from Salon Perfect. Kaboom. 3 coats. Shocked. 3 coats. On a trip to my local Walmart I got super lucky and found an enormous cardboard display the size of a SmartCar full of these Salon Perfect polishes. Because it is so rare to find a full collection/display at my particular Walmart, I went ahead and bought all 6. For me that's really not that crazy because I love matte glitter. Plus, the price point is excellent; $3.99 ea. However, I did post a picture as I was standing in the checkout line stating I needed an intervention. Soon after that I put myself on a No-Buy. No polish purchases until July 12th. Then, I will reward myself... Hee Hee Hee. The formula on these is tricky. Let's start with Kaboom; an awesome mix of blue and lime green matte glitters. This resembles a popular indie we all know and love called 'Floam' . It's probably the Holy Grail of polish. I don't own it but I own some of the o...

China Glaze, Red Satin.

China Glaze, Red Satin. 3 coats.  Sunlight.  I've been a little obsessed with red polish lately. It all started when I was looking for a good red polish and I realized that a good chunk of my red collection was not cruelty free. So, I began my hunt to find cruelty free replacements. Luckily, we have a huge surplus of great reds in current collections. Red Satin is one of the reds I decided to add to my collection. It came from China Glaze's Holiday 2012 Collection with quite a few other great reds. This one is a bit different because it is a jelly finish. It gives a nice squishy appearance on the nail yet builds up to opacity nicely in 3 coats. I highly recommend letting each coat dry thoroughly before adding the next. The formula is a little on the thin side and you need to be careful in application to avoid pooling at the cuticle. Dry time did take significantly longer due to the need for 3 coats, but I kind of feel it was worth it. Red Satin looks quite similar to...

Review: Cover FX BB Gel, Mattifying Anti-Blemish Treatment.

Image
It's always been a battle for me to find a good foundation. Between adult acne, acne scars, redness, enlarged pores, under eye circles, deep lines, and an Oily T-Zone... I'm screwed. Ha! Ha! Sorry, you just gotta laugh. I mean, if I ever find anyone with more going on I would have no choice but to cry for them. I also have the annoying issue of my skin sometimes deciding to change its mind during season changes. I can go 6 months with incredibly oily skin and then wake up one morning with my skin so tight and dry it feels like it's about to tear. I sometimes battle dry patches on my chin and by my lips. Which makes no since because I always wear lip balm, moisturizer, and my T-Zone is often so oily you can oil up a hinge with the oil on my face by 3pm.  I've been hearing raving reviews all over the blogosphere about Cover FX products so when I heard they were coming out with this new BB Gel I instantly knew I would be ordering it.  Now, this product is not cheap at $4...
