Yves by Zoya can be best described as a deep sapphire that's midway in between indigo and royal blue with a blue pearl fleck in the traditional Matte Velvet finish.

Elliot's description is spot on, a deep teal blue reminiscent of a peacock tail, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Elliot also stamps. I have one coat of matte topcoat on my middle nail.

Yves is gorgeous, I love the deep inkiness of this but you can still tell its a blue, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Yves does stamp but you gotta work fast! As with a lot of mattes Yves dries fast. I've also swapped out the brush to the z wide on this after doing the mani, I switched out the brushes on all the matte velvets. There is also a coat of topcoat on my middle nail.

I wish Zoya would do more matte velvet polishes.

Happy Christmas Eve!

Today on my blog I have the stunning Yves for you.

This is a deep dark inky blue in Zoya's matte velvet finish.  I did three coats which were super easy as it dries quite quickly. I could have gotten away with two but I wanted my nails to be super deep dark blue.

I then decided to so some minimalist snow flakes, I used my clear jelly stamper big bling stamper and a El Corazon plate and I did alternate fingers wikth snow flakes and then trees on my thumbs.  I never know whether to do the trees with the stumps facing my or away though lol I then used Love Angelina top coat on the stamping and the Matte Velvet topcoat on the rest.

The clean up was a bugger though and I'm going to have to be very careful when taking this off or I'll end up with smurf fingers!
