Psst...

Hi cats, just wanted to let you in on neat little dealio our friends at Zoya have going on. Now through January 9th you can get 2 of their amazing polishes for free! No purchase necessary, just pick your hues* and enter code "ZOYA2012" at checkout. All you do is pay shipping! 

I know I talk about OPI an awful lot, but Zoya polishes are really great and completely natural! My first experience with the brand was at the best spa in Wilmington, and if it's good enough for them, it's good enough for me. The only problem? Picking just two!

I'm trying to resist buying shades similar to ones I already have, but how can I resist my namesake... Caitlin! (spelled correctly!)

Thanks Refinery29 for filling me in on this amazing offer!

*offer excludes polishes from their new True and Fleck collections

grey matter

Taylor calls me a girl of extremes. I'm either starving or stuffed, exhausted or wide-awake, there's seldom any in-between. The rule applies to nail polish too. During the warmer months I tend to favor bold, sunny shades of orange and coral. But when my nails aren't brightly-hued, I'm a sucker for a chic, monochromatic grey. Here are a few of my favorites...

girl date

Jordan and I had a fabulous date last Wednesday. We always joke that we would make the BEST boyfriends... except for the "boy"part. The day started with manicures at Ki Spa in Wilmington. Next, we grabbed a quick lunch (salads and Chicken Florentine pizza... on wheat!) We spent most of the late afternoon browsing blogger and having girl talk and then we had to go to class (I know, right?) But we finished off the night with a delicious dinner... lobster tails! I cooked, of course. :)

Let's talk nail polish.

Ki Spa uses Zoya, which I was excited to try for the first time. I decided on "Kelly" one of their new shades for fall.

It is a delightfully moody, mysterious, elephant grey. (It did turn out a little darker than I expected, though.) 

Jordan and I were happy with Zoya, but I think we remain OPI girls at heart. In fact, Jordan proceeded to purchase two new hues Friday. Btw, be sure to check us out on "Faces of Addiction: OPI Edition" along with our adorable roommate Britney. We are total nail polish junkies.
