I LOVE each and ever PixieDust shade in this collection!! Zoya PixieDusts are worn without a base coat or top coat to achieve the desired look. There is a 3-6 minute drying period and removal is a breeze, nowhere near the difficulty like most glitter infused polishes. Each polishes formula was prefect with zero clumpiness, formula is great. All shades dry matte and I am wearing 2 coats in each photo. I LOVE the Fall PixieDust Collection. Again the formula was perfect and smooth, no streaking what so ever. Each PixieDust shade has a fabulous pigment and formula.

Zoya Nail Polish and Treatments never disappoints me. Keep up the phenomenal work Fairies!!

Each polish can be purchased on the Zoya's website HERE for $9 each. Colors are available now!
All polishes are BIG5FREE. Free of Formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate. Zoya is vegan friendly and a cruelty free nail color.

Rollasole comfy, on the go shoes....


Happy Monday!!!

Hoping everyone had a fabulous weekend. I spent time with my family and had an early Birthday party for my youngest and only daughter Madison. She's turning 5!!! Bitter sweet but I love it.

Today I have some AMAZING, on the go, super convenient slip on shoes to show how. From Rollasole, these fashionable shoes are a MUST HAVE. 

About Rollasole:
"The idea behind Rollasole sprang to mind in 2008 when Matt Horan decided there had to be a better way for his girlfriend to return home after a fun night out than the obligatory piggy back. From that moment on, Matt poured his efforts into developing and patenting our unique Rollasole shoes. Soon after, the first Rollasole vending machine appeared in Matt’s home town of Bristol.
Since then, things have simply snowballed. You can now find Rollasole shoes in a number of high street retailers in the UK, America and Australia – as well as caressing the tanned and toned feet of the stars at the Golden Globes for the last three year"

We have all been there... A long day of work, shopping, parties, you name it. We are wearing our cutest and tallest heels and after hours we wish we could turn back time and rethink the super cute stilettos  Well now we have nothing to fear. With many styles, color and pattern Rollasole has a pair for any occasion. 








Rollasole come in an adorable hard plastic container. Super easy instructions are on the side.


Rollasole comes with a bag. The bag has areas of velcro so help secure the shoes during role up. Tired feet?? Just take out your Rollasoles and place your other shoes in this convenient bag!



All rolled up. At first look it looks questionable how a pair of shoes can fit in such a small container.


As you pull out your Rollasoles, they are curled.


Uncurl them. Look, shoes!!


I was sent their leopard print style. I am such a huge animal print fan so I was happy to know that I have LOTS of outfits these lovelies will pair well with.


Rollasoles are extremely comfortable, lightweight and fashionable. 


With a stretch to them, Rollasoles come in 3 sizes to fit most feet comfortably.


The soles are thin with a slide proof grip bottom. Again, very comfortable.





I LOVE the Rollasole's! As I type they are tucked away in their cute little container and bag and in my purse. It's a great feeling to know that if your feet get tired, Rollasole will be there to ease your trouble and look cute too! Rollasole is based in the UK so their prices look a little different to USA folks like myself. Rollasoles can be purchased at $15.32-$18.40 in US Dollars on rollasole.com!
