A fail and a win, using Zoyas.

 Hey Friends

Today on the blog I share a fail and a win.

The fail is the first set of pics, nothing was wrong with the polishes it was just me being a clutz and dinging them jst as they dried. 

Base was two coats of Zoya Mara a gorgeous nude that had a great formula, no running or pooling. This is almost my perfect mannequin hand colour, I then added a coat of Zoya Lottie on my middle fingers, Fancy Gloss Fire Opal on my index finger and Starrily Unicorn on my little fingers, then it all went wrong as the polish wasnt dry and chaos! dented polish agh.

I had better luck with the next manicure, thankfully!

Base is one sweet coat of Zoya Val, perfect formula, no running or pooling, I then stamped a blood moon using Zoya Soko and Mila, the wolf used Virago Varnish Bountiful Beige and Revlon Stiletto, the stars are Virago Varnish Mano Madness, plates were B Loves Plates N13 Cosmic Space and Born Pretty BP-16.

Last pic is me tempting fate lol, this is the longest my nails have been in quite a while, so I decided to take a pic because as sure as the sun rises I'm gonna break one soon.

Celi, pronounced Seely or Kelly, I think Kelly is correct, this is stunning, so pretty, good formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Celi also stamps and you can see the pink undertone she has, love the sparkles in this.

Soko isnt listed on the Zoya USA site, I'm guessing its just out of stock and not discontinued? gorgeous colour bright but deep, very close to the colour of a poinsettia plant, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, she also stamps nicely.

Its the May bank holiday and hubs has booked an extra day off, so I'm going to be back on Wednesday next week.

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.
