Happy Black Friday! If you celebrate Thanksgiving, I hope you had a great one with your loved ones filled with amazing food! Today is the ULTIMATE shopping day: Black Friday! I have done a ton of shopping already with all these amazing deals. If you are a nail polish addict, here is one from Dr.'s REMEDY. Their polishes can be on the pricier side so getting a deal is always great to try out the brand and save money.
Dr.'s REMEDY is

hypoallergenic ingredients. The birth-child of two New York-based
podiatrists, Dr. Adam Cirlincione and Dr. William Spielfogel, Dr.'s REMEDY proves quintessentially-perfect for any person looking to better the condition of her skin and nails. Dr.'s REMEDY is sold exclusively at www.remedynails.com or by calling 877-323-NAIL.
Are you taking advantage of any Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals? Do you do a lot of shopping on these days?
I wanted to share what I found regarding the Sephora F&F Sale since it starts today! For now it's online only. Go to this page and get your unique, one time use code: http://www.sephoralove.com/friendsandfamily. The sale last from today, October 20th to November 2nd.
I don't know if there will be an in store coupon for the Beauty Insiders or VIBs but when I know more, I will be sure to post it here! Happy Shopping!
I have to thank Nouveau Cheap for posting about the Target Beauty Bag! Target previously did this promotion where you could request their Beauty Bag, which ended up a cute bag filled with nice samples. Well, it is back!! Don't hesitate to get this sample, they might go quickly!
To grab this sample go to http://samples.target.com/ and click "request sample" and fill out the survey and your info. NOTE: This might not seem like it is going through. At first, it seemed to be processing for a long time but when I tried to submit it again, it said I had already requested a sample for my address.
I can't wait to get this sample bag! From the picture, it looks like there is an eyeshadow palette, dry shampoo, and more! I hope the requests go through and everyone gets a sample bag.
Will you be getting the Target Beauty Bag? Did you get a confirmation statement when you submitted it?
Zoya is having ANOTHER promo! I love when they do their sales because they always have great ones available where you get a deal. I bought a lot of my Zoya polishes during their promos. It's a great way to try out their polishes and save money.

Yesterday I posted about one of my favorite Bracelet Stacks featuring a bracelet from Bauble Bar! I found out about this company through Twitter. One thing I noticed about them is their "company Twitter practices". We have all seen those company Twitter accounts that just promote their brand, don't reply to anyone, and just RT all the good things anyone says about them. The tweeter for Bauble Bar (who I met and is SO sweet!) actually interacts with people that talk to the brand. In addition to finding out about their latest additions to the site, they also tweet about general fashion drool worthy-ness. I'm a big fan of companies that listen to and interact with their customers, not just push products.
They are currently having a promo right now! Make an account and get $10 off your first purchase.
Their jewelry are a great way to have a unique, trendy piece without sacrificing the quality (ahem Forever 21). They are more expensive that the typical trend jewelry (F21, H&M) but they will last you much longer than those because they are made with quality materials!
Here are some pieces I'm eyeing (sorry the pics are so small, if I made them bigger the quality would be distorted):
I wanted to let you guys know that Urban Decay is having a sale! It is 25% off everything EXCEPT the Naked Palette. It's kind of a bummer that you can't apply it to that palette but it is in stock for those that want to get it. The code for the sale is FFSUMMER11 and it ends Sunday, July 10th.
Sheesh Zoya has one promo after another! Right now, Tuesday only, they have a promo code for a FREE nail polish from their Summertime, Sunshine, or ModMattes summer collections. To get the free polish, pick one color from those collections, add it to your cart, and enter code SUMMER1. All you pay is shipping.

Last summer promo, I bought Rica and Faye and I love those colors! I am thinking of getting Apple.
Will you be participating in this Free Zoya Summer Polish Promo? What polish will you get?
I recently participated in the Zoya Polish Exchange. Zoya does this every year for Earth Day, here is my post on the details. I like Zoya Polishes overall, here are swatches of my collection (pre-this year's polish exchange). I think this is a great promo that they run and it's for a great cuase, supporting green practices to be easier on our Earth. I also purchased the Zoya Remove +, my favorite nail polish remover, for my mom, and the Zoya Anchor Base Coat.
Here is my haul video (with some other polishes!):
left to right: Dove, Happi, Renee, Crystal, Dannii, Julieanne
Dove- As the name suggests, it's a dove grey. Great application, this was two coats.
Happi- This is such an interesting color, a pink with gold/green duochrome. This was 2 coats.
Renee-A raspberry pink, it dries pretty matte. This was also two coats. I think this would look great on the toes!
Crystal- a gorgeous metallic blue with gold shimmer. This was the sheerest of the polishes I got, it was 3 coats. The color combination makes it look like a night sky!
Dannii- A medium purple with gold shimmer. This was 2 coats.
Julieanne- This would be a nice fall/winter color. It is a deep purple with purple shimmer. I believe it was three coats.
I think I have more Zoya polishes than any other brand thanks to their promos!
Did you participate in the Zoya Polish Exchange? What polishes did you get? What are your favorite Zoya polishes?
I wanted to share with you guys that NYX is having a HUGE anniversary sale in a few hours! This is for only 12 hours, 12PM PST- 12AM PST, starts 3PM EST! I don't want you guys to miss out on the great deals so I wanted to share this BEFORE it starts (better late than never! This sale looks huge and has so many NYX products on sale and I predict people will be scrambling to make their purchases and things may sell out. So many items are only $1.20!
My recommendations: I LOVE their single shadows, One Night in Morroco Palette (not sure if that's on sale), and their Mega Shine Lipglosses. NYX has a preview of the sale on their Facebook Page in the "Store" section.
If any of you have been buying Zoya polish for a while, you know that every Earth Day they have a Polish Exchange. This year, they seemed to not announce it in advance but it is going on now!
How it works:
"1. Go to Zoya.com and pick out the polishes you would like and add them to your cart. You must select at least 6 bottles and no more than 24 bottles of polish (Salons accounts minimum 12 maximum 48 bottles.)
2. Apply the code.EARTHZOYA
3. Your order value will be adjusted to reflect the promotion
4. SUBMIT your order!
Then Zoya will ship out your NEW polish! YEA!
Once you get your order (Here is where the exchanging* happens)…
1. Ship back the equivalent number of bottles to the ones you received to the return address below.(ie. If you got 6 bottles of Zoya – you would send us 6 NON-ZOYA polishes, please check with you carrier on the proper way to ship nail polish) 2. Include a copy of your order
Shipping Address
Art of Beauty, Inc.
c/o Polish Exchange
5060 Taylor Rd, Unit D
Cleveland, Ohio, 44128, USA
Once we receive your polish we do the rest! It’s that simple!
IMPORTANT!
The bottles you send in cannot be Zoya, Qtica or Nocti polishes (but they can be any other brand).
We are using the honor code here folks! We want to make sure you get your Zoya Nail Polish! We send you the polish first then you send your old polish back to us! If you do choose to send us your old polish we promise to properly dispose of it according to EPA guidelines. This offer is only good for 1 week so hurry – Don’t Wait!"
This is a cool way to try Zoya polishes you wanted for 50% off. Each bottle will be $4 with this promo. Remember, it has to be a MINIMUM of 6 polishes. Some of my Zoya recommendations: Charla, Sweet, and Trixie.
Will you be participating in the promo? If so, what polishes do you plan on getting?
Zoya finally announced their big promo that only account holders can participate in! I wanted to share it wih you all so that you dont miss out :). The promo is a "buy one, get one free" on all of their summer collection polishes. These collections are the Summertime, Sunshine, and Modmatte Collections. Also, when you use the BOGO, the shipping for your order is $2.
Once you are in your account go to the left hand side of the page and CLICK on MY PROMOTIONS AND COUPONS
APPLY the code that reads ZOYA SUMMER BOGO.
Then ADD - Any combination of polishes from the new summer collections to your shopping cart. (This BOGO* you can buy up to 7 bottles and get 7 FREE(of the new summer collections)
ADD any additional items you would like to purchase
CHECK OUT (BOGO* applies to polish from Summertime, Sunshine and ModMatte collections ONLY!)
Please double check all information IS CORRECT and ALL FIELDS have been completely filled out PRIOR to submitting the order. There is NO WAY to issue a new code after the order has been processed."
I may participate in the promo but honestly I am a little disappointed. Not that many polishes from the collections appeal to me and from their secretive tweets, I was expecting something even bigger (perhaps a sitewide bogo!) However, it is a great deal if you are loving the new collections.
Will you be participating in the Zoya BOGO Promotion? What colors are you getting? Are you impressed with the promo or were you hoping for something else?
Zoya has been mentioning an upcoming "big" promo for weeks now. They haven't said when it will happen or what the deal is, which just builds the anticipation more! I'm very excited to hear what the promo is because they usually have great deals (but slow sites during!).
Source
I wanted to let you guys know of this beforehand because the promo only pertains to people WITH ACCOUNTS. You must have an account by Sunday March 20th 5 PM EST to qualify to participate. If you have made an order with Zoya (even during their free polish deals), then you already have an account. If you haven't, I definitely recommend making one. It's free and if you do end up liking the promo (whatever it is), then you will be happy you did!
Are you excited for the Zoya Promo? What do you think it is?
Happy International Women's day! Today Zoya is having a promo where you can get their Intimate collection for $25 TOTAL. Their polishes are $8 each so essentially you are getting a 50% discount! This promo is for today only and while supplies last. The last promo they had (three pack of green polishes for $5) sold out in hours so if you want this, get a move on!
Here's how it works:
Add the promo pack into your cart and at checkout, enter the code ZOYAWD and the discount will be added. This promo also makes the pack free shipping so you are only paying $25 for it. Don't forget to type in the code!
Personally, I don't think I will be participating in this one just because I'm a bit polish over whelmed lol but I wanted to share this with you guys because it's a great deal! Also, Zoya has been hinting at a larger promo in the next 2 weeks in which you must have an account so I'm very excited for that one. I will definitely blog about it when it is announced.
Will you be partaking in the promo? What is your favorite color from the collection?
In this collective haul, I show the three polishes I got with the Zoya promo that I blogged about previously. Since I got so many questions from people asking what polishes I chose for the promo, I wanted to show it in a haul and do swatches.
left to right: Zara, Mimi, Kotori
Zara- This is a pinky purple with gold shimmer. It's a gorgeous color but on the sheer side. This was 3 coats.
Mimi- A purple with purple glitter. This was nice pigmented, I used 2 coats. I'm obsessed with purple so I really liked this one.
Kotori- A gorgeous deep mermaid blue with green tones. Unfortunetly, I'm not a fan. It was watery and sheer, I think this was 4 coats.
What did you get from the Zoya promo? How do you like your colors?
I posted a while ago that Zoya was having a promo that if they reached 20,000 Likes on Facebook, they would give a code for 3 FREE Nail Polishes! Well, they reached over 20,000 Likes by now and WE HAVE THE CODE!
Source
The code is FB2011 and is active until January 7th 11:59 EST. It is only available for US customers only, sorry! Also, you pay shipping rates, which comes out to a great deal because it's about $2 per polish!
I already placed my order and will of course do a blogpost with swatches. Please be patient with the site because it's glitchy and slow due to all the people on it. The shipping is $6.95. Once your order goes through, your cart should be empty and in a few hours you will get your confirmation email.
Zoya has a very wide collection and variety of colors and if you just search "Zoya Swatches" you will get MANY results. Some of my favorites are Charla, Sweet, Talulah, and Trixie.
Good luck deciding you colors! I know the code was posted a while ago but I wanted for you guys to get the info just in case =]
Did you already make your order? What colors did you get?
If you saw my post yesterday, you'll know that today you can get 6 free Zoya color spoons. Just add the spoons to your cart and use the code SP6. I already ordered mine and will post about them when I receive the order =] Just a little warning, the website has been a little wonky due to so many people taking advantage of the promo. ALSO, the promo has been extended and ends tomorrow at 11:59 EST! Like I said, I highly recommend you take advantage of the promo because it's basically a free $3 credit for a next purchase!
Also, I wanted to mention that Zoya reached 20,000 Facebook followers! This means 3 free polishes for us =] I'm so excited to order them! They said that the code for the free nail polishes will be released January 3rd (OMG that's next year haha!) so keep any eye out for that, but you know I will probably post about it on here too!
Sheesh, I've been posting about Zoya a lot lately, but I can't help it! Zoya are having a promotion tomorrow where you can get 6 free Zoya color spoons. Just add the color spoons to your cart and use code SP6 at checkout.
Color spoons are basically sample swatches, think of it like a single nail swatch on a nail wheel. They actually use the nail polish for the swatch so it's an accurate representation of what it'll look like. The spoons cost $.50, which isn't too bad, and while they aren't a multi use product (in that you get it, see the color and that's pretty much it lol), you get free shipping on them and then that money you spent you get credited back on a future purchase!
I urge you guys to take advantage of this because you're not losing anything, not paying to have them shipped or anything! You get an accurate representation of a color you potentially want AND it's like they're GIVING YOU a $3 credit! It's win-win!
This promo comes at a great time because Zoya is reaching 20,000 Facebook followers soon (I believe they're almost at 18,000) and when that happens, they will be giving us a code for 3 FREE Zoya polishes! So why not sample out the ones you want to get for free with this promo? =]
Will you be participating in the Free Zoya Color Spoon Friday promo? What colors are you eyeing?
I just had to spread the word about this!!Zoya recently made a very exciting promo on their blog! They promised that if they reach 20,000 Facebook "likes" by January 3, 2011, they will give a promo code for 3 FREE nail polishes!
This is such an exciting announcement because it benefits all of us if this promo happens! Who doesn't want three free bottles of nail polish? I DO!! It says in fine print though that you would have to pay shipping lol but still, that's an amazing price for 3 polishes.
I hope this promo works out because I CLEARLY need more nail polish (yea right, addict!) LOL
I'm an NYC girl that loves makeup, fashion, and anything in between. I love sharing my thoughts with people that have the same passion as me! Happiness should be found anywhere, especially in the little things.
