Tiana by Zoya can be best described as a pistachio gelato green in a glossy cream finish.

Sage is gorgeous, dusty with a grey undertone, I switched out the brushes on the full Satins collection to the Z Wide, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, Sage also stamps.

Tiana is stunning, a very bright crisp green, I also switched out the brush on Tiana, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, Tiana also stamps. Check out the colour fade from my swatch stick! even though I keep my office in the dark with blinds and a curtain, I'm guessing thats the pigment reacting to light.

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.
