A Zoya A Day - Carmen and Kamilah

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet Carmen and Kamilah, apologies for no posts Monday or Tuesday, Monday we went for a walk in the peak district and time got away from us, then yesterday was botox for migraine day and I was feeling very tired out after that.

Kamilah by Zoya can be best described as a fiery orange-toned red base with cool toned red metallic shimmer.

Carmen is darker and more blue toned than Sookie, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in probably two coats, I'd wear this in two coats for a full manicure,

Kamilah is stunning that orange undertone is lovely, good formula, a little runny but no pooling, opaque in two coats, I only did one for the swatch pics.

I've shared my manicure for the weekend and botox appointment, I started with two coats of Fancy Gloss Sunset a pink (cold) to orangey yellow (hot) then I stamped with Zoya Liza which matched the cold state perfectly! I used Apiplia Super Placa D, then I put a coat of Fancy Gloss Fire Opal over my index and pinkie fingers :) 

I've also shared some of the pics of our walk, it was so nice to get out in the countryside and the walk wasnt jam packed with people either. The picture showing the rocks also had a rock climber, I had to get my hubs to point me in the right direction to take the pic as I couldnt see the rock climber, I've zoomed in a lot to show you them.

These were both 3 coats but purely because they need to be sheer so you can see the shimmer in them. Kamilah is a very strong pure red which will be fantastic for Christmas manicures as its that ribbon type shine.

The lovely Anthea is from Zoya's original classic collection and is a very pink toned red with a golden shimmer.

I have to say I am enjoying putting red polish on, not sure why as I wasnt really a red person before but I'm coming round to it as there are so many different shades :) 

Todays book is Bloody Bones by Laurell K Hamilton who writes the Anita Blake vampire series of books, I dived into these as I was looking for a good long series to get my teeth into and this is fitting the bill brilliantly :) check out my instagram for more random pics
