Faye by Zoya can be best described as a bronzed mauve with purple and brown undertones flooded with bright gold sparkle. 

I adore Carly, so sparkly but its not glitter, gorgeous formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Carly also stamps well.

Faye oh Faye, your description of flooded with bright gold sparkle is so right! So much so that you cant tell you have a purple base in these pics :( great formula though, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats. I've shown her next to Daul to get an idea of how massive the gold sparkle is in Faye. Thank goodness this is not glitter either!

Last pic was going to be my entry into When Colours Collide challenge for this month but they didnt like my design, I think I should have used a silver on the Shining mani plus they said my red didnt look red, oh well, means I get to play with the stamping plate again :) 

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.
