Sharing my nail polish addiction journey, one color at a time.
I recently developed an addiction for Avon nail polish (surprise, surprise) and they have a simple and straightforward tip list for making the most of your manicure: 1.

Zoya has this beautiful sparkly orange nail polish called Tinsley (ZP671) and I absolutely love it. It is a pale orange with a whole lot of iridescent sparkle.
