Seeking Neutrality--Zoya Minka

Ok, so I've shared some off white, greige, and mauve toned nudes this week.  Why not round it out with one that has a hint of yellow?  

Zoya Minka is a polish from the Touch collection and is described as "A pale, milky beige nude with yellow undertones and a hint of pearly silver shimmer."  Based on the recommendations of this collection, this was not the nude recommended for my skin tone.  Pandora is the one recommended for cool toned skin.  This one is for neutral or olive tones.  I decided to go for it anyway.  I know that as the seasons change and my skin tone goes from a cool toned pale skin to a warm freckled complexion that my preference in nudes also changes.  The following picture was taken with my "summer skin" tone.  I don't think I could get away with this nude in the early spring without it looking too yellow, but we shall see:)

Do you gravitate toward certain nudes during certain seasons depending on the season or your skin tone?

Summer Fun Challenge--Day 7

Lindsey at the Neverland Nail Blog is so incredibly creative.  I love her blog so very much and about 3 weeks ago she announced The Summer Fun Challenge.

Day 6: Summer Stylin'
Everyone knows that neon was a HUGE trend this summer.  I love to use neon accessories, in moderation of course.  What do you get when you cross a classic nude flat, a touch of neon, and the vintage appeal of cap toe shoes?  My favorite summer flats: Ann Taylor Elizabeth Pointy flats in Shocking Pink!

My manicure to match was simple, a nude nail with a bright, nearly neon french tip.  Here it is...

These colors actually resemble the Kate Spade cap toe flats more than my Ann Taylor flats.  This manicure was created using a base of Zoya Minka and Zoya Ali for the tips.
