Zoya Naturel Nail Polish Collection – Coming Soon
Zoya Naturel
If the Spring 2014 runways taught us anything, it’s that the neutral nail is coming back in a big way. Hold on to your seats, color lovers, it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Kicking off the trend is the Zoya Naturel nail polish collection, launching January 1st, 2014.
The natural nail only better… The Zoya Nail Polish Naturel collection masters delicate tone on tone color with six new, full-coverage (opaque) neutral nudes with a pink undertone, that can be worn beautifully alone or stunningly together to create modern tonal accents.
The Look: It’s not about matching – it’s about coordinating colors with slight tonal differences to create interest.
And to drive “The Look” home, Zoya has provided some nail art ideas, below, for wearing Naturel. Keep reading to get an up close look at the shades.

Top Cyber Monday Deals for Nail Polish and Makeup Fanatics
It’s been a long, relaxing holiday weekend here at ALU HQ. We hosted a pretty low key Thanksgiving with my parents and instead of fighting the crowds, I shopped Black Friday from the comfort of my couch. After an intimate fondue night at home with friends, I’m recharging for the week ahead.
That includes preparing for the biggest online shopping day of the year, Cyber Monday. Again, the beauty brands are pulling out all the stops when it comes to online deals and I’ve curated some of the best offers out there.

Nailbox – A New Online Nail Polish Shopping Destination
Has your wallet recovered from all the Black Friday torture? Then, I have some fun nail polish shopping news to share with you. Nailbox, a recently launched beauty e-commerce site, is all about nails. Carrying a range of commercial and boutique nail polish brands, its aim is to be a one stop shop.
They currently carry 11 lines including Cult Nails, Essie and NCLA with plans to expand in the future. What impressed me is the ability to sort by Brand, Color, Ingredients, Price, Coverage or Finish. They clearly did their research and understand the nail polish fanatic’s mind.
And on each shade’s page, they include Application Tips, Customer Reviews and Ingredients Lists with the ability to share on social media. So they’re fostering a community as well as selling nail color.
They currently ship to the US only (FREE shipping with $50 purchase) with plans to ship internationally in the coming year. The site definitely looks promising and I can’t wait to see what other nail polish brands they add in the future. Wouldn’t it be great to have just ONE place to buy all your polish from?
Their site teases a special collaboration with LA’s top manicurists, coming December 1st, so head to Nailbox.co and sign up to be notified about the launch.
