Gemma is stunning, I love the murky dusty green and that violet shimmer which is a little shy on the nail, good fomrula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, Gemma does stamp but probably best over a lighter colour.

Yara is amazing, I love the dirty brown undertone on this green and that golden glitter particle, that thankfully isnt glitter but large sparkle particles, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Yara also stamps well.

A Zoya A Day - Jem and Paris

Hey Friends

Today on the blog we meet the last two reds Jem and Paris.

Paris is a discontinued polish but Zoya have reused the name for one of the jelly brites polishes. Paris is described as deep brown undertoned  red.

Jem is one of my all time favourites, in the bottle you see a purple hue but on the nail its vamp deep red with red/fuchsia flecks, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, she also stamps. This used to be my initials so of course I have a soft spot for this one. 

Paris the original is stunning, she reminds me of a redder Lincoln Park After Dark by OPI, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, she also stamps.

My weekend mani was two coats of Skipper then stamped with Virago Varnish She Cries Everyday. I used a couple of the Uberchic summer plates.

Last pics are my chopped off 9 inches of tail from my hair, I could sit on it but it was very annoying in the extreme heat we had recently, as you can see its still very long though!
