Zoya Joss and Plaid/Tartan Nail Art

Hey there

Today on the blog meet Joss and I have some tartan/plaid nail art to share with you :) 

A Zoya a Day

Name - Joss

Year - 2019

Number - ZP1001

Coats - 2

Finish - Creme

Collection - Sensual

Colour - Pink/Nude

Topcoat - None

I love plaid aka tartan nails, I started with my usual two coats of Zoya Anchor basecoat, then I did 2 coats of Joss, excuse the messy swatch but I knew I was stamping so I didnt clean up prior to stamping, great formula, no running or pooling and almost opaque in one coat on my short nails. I then grabbed the three purples from the new Sensual collection which are (L to R in their pic) Ripley, Micheala and Vesper.  I used Uberchic Pretty in Plaid plate and my Big Bling stamper from Clear Jelly Stamper, as you can see they stamped really well, I then grabbed Fab Ur Nails Fun 21 plate and did some marble stamping on my thumbs, I then topped everything with Barry M Plumpy topcoat then Barry M Matte topcoat.

Also how come Joss is more mannequin hands matte than shiny?

I think they turned out great :) now I wish I could find a shirt with this colour combo!

Zoya Misty with added stamping

Happy Hump Day

Today on the blog I have the very unusual ok weird colour that is Zoya Misty, this is a very dusty green creme with a brown and or grey undertone.

The formula was really good no running or pooling and opaque in two coats,

I then decided that it needed something, so I pulled out my trusty Fab Ur Nails Fun 21 plate, its got awesome paint splatter designs and went for it.

I used Virago Varnish Nauseating as my stamping polish of choice as its a tan beige which I figured would be interesting, well I ended up with what looked like mud splattered nails so thats a win, right?

The second picture shows the plate in a little more detail, picture three shows Misty on her own without topcoat, love that shine, then shown with the stamping and a matte topcoat.


I think I could do this again with slightly different colours and get camo nails :)

Autumn mani using spring colours

Another nail challenge from instagram :)

I used the following items

Virago Varnish
Malibu, Bug Bites, Beet Ice and Monstrous

Zoya Anchor Basecoat, Love Angeline Top Coat, Clear Jelly Stamper Big Bling, Nail Artisan Scraper and Uberchic plate Lovely Leave 2.

I always start with 2 coats of Zoya Anchor as my nails will stain while you look at them, then I did one coat of Malibu, if I'd just been wearing Malibu on its own I would have done 2 as I had the meerest hint of streaking but I knew I was stamping over it so one was ok.

I think used Bug Bites as the bases of the trees, then Beet Ice for the branches and finally Monstrous I used with a reverse stamp of autumn leaves.

I kinda misjudged my left nail coz I couldnt quite see/judge where the darker pink was but over all I am so happy with these :)

On my thumbs I did a gradient of all the darker pinks.

Summer Neon Nails

Evening :)

So I decided on some cool summer neon nails :)

I used the the full bleached beach neons collection by Virago Varnish plus the limited edition orange which was created for Nail Artisan by Alex

I started with 2 coats of Sally Hansen White On on my middle 2 fingers then 2 coats each of the neons of all my other nails.

Then on the white nails I went ith a chevron design using the neons 3 on each nail.

I used Bundle Monster plate BM-XL04 with my Big Bling stamper from Clear Jelly Stamper.

Once the stamping was done I covered all nails with 2 coats of Star Dust from Wikkid Polish a fantastic British Indie maker :)  My topcoat of choice was Liquid Glass by P.O.P Polish.
