10th Commandment: May 3

May 3, 2012

 

Zoya Blogger Collection (Birchbox, $22)

Yesterday, a woman walked up to me and asked what color I was wearing on my toes.  It was pretty cool to be able to say, “The shade I designed for Birchbox.”  Sure, it’s my pseudonym, but having your “name” on a polish is pretty cool.  If you want to own the shade that you helped come to life, you should order one soon.  It’s limited edition and selling out quick!

Miss M believes nail polish should be “seasonally appropriate.”  I believe that it should also be sartorially appropriate, meaning your polish should match your outfit.  Check back at 11:00 AM to see which outfits coordinate perfectly with my nail polish.

    Just received mine Tuesday – in deep love with all the colors but yours really hits them out of the park!

    How big are the polishes in the set? Are they the mini sample sizes that birchbox sends out?

    aec: They're about the same size as an Essie polish. And the ones Birchbox sends are a full size Zoya polish, I'm pretty sure.

    I loved the idea of the copper penny, but maybe it's my screen or something, but the shade doesn't seem to do justice to the color in the pictures of the polish. Does it really come out looking the color of a shiny new penny?

Happy Hour: Atlantic Beach Pie

There are two kinds of people in this world: People who eat cake on their birthdays and people who don’t.  And some of the weirdos in the latter category (I said what I said) eat pie as an alternative.  So if you’re a “birthday pie” eater with a late summer celebration coming up, may I […]

The Find: The Only Wire-Free Bra That Didn’t Fail Me

After Sloane was born, I developed a seething hatred for underwire bras.  The trouble was that I had also developed a larger, slightly droopier bust.  It was a cruel irony.

The 2010s Trends I’m Loving and Leaving Behind

Our tween and teen nieces spent the first half of 2023 reviving our high school fashions.  From peasant tops to low rises, I felt like I was back bopping to N’SYNC in my mint-green sedan for a minute.  Now, our 20-something direct reports are bringing back the 2010s in a big way, and I am […]
