Dream is stunning, all the scattered holographics that Zoya do are, I need more colours in this finish, I need ALL the colours in this finish, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. Dream does stamp but likely best over a pale colour. I think I need to try and pick up Cassidy from this collection.

Meredith or Merredith as my bottle says, is not available on the USA website, which is worrying, I do hope she hasnt been discontinued already, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat. Merredith stamps well. This polish is perfect for night time stamping manicures, its like looking at the night sky with twinkling stars.

Hopefully while these two look similar you can see that one is defo holographic and the other is just silver sparkles and the bases are a different tone.

Christmas Nail Art

 Hey friends

Today I share my Christmas nail fail and a win. These are all Zoya polishes except for two chrome ones at the end.

The fail wasnt really a fail, I just used too dark a base colour.

So this is two coats of the gorgeous Nisha, which had a great formula, no running or pooling, then I stamped with Avi and Beverly in an ombre, I then added matte topcoat, you can see that the stamping doesnt stand out very well, I might do this again with either a pale purple or a lighter blue as the base.

I do love how Nisha looks matte and shiny, in the matte she looks much more blue and the shiny looks purple, very cool.

The plate I used for this was a random unnamed one I got in a destash.

Second mani was way more successful, after the pics

So after taking that one off I wanted to try a winter scene mani, so I started with two coats of Zoya Sage, I then used Mel, Charli and Tasha for my trees, for the baubles I used Soko, then two Models Own polishes Chrome Bronze and Chrome Silver, finally I stamped stars with Zoya Meredith. 

I think I should have started with Meredith stars first then done the trees but I still love how it turned out and how cute does Meredith look matte. I'm going to put matte topcoat on my other nails today as well.

Plates used where Mundo De Unas ZZ Forest 1 and ZZ Forest 2, the stars where from plate Maniology BMXL213.

I think these will be my Christmas nails, I just love how they came out, those trees on my middle nails are lush, I am loving how Tasha made the trunks look.
