Weekend Mani

 Hey Friends

Today I'm sharing my Easter-esque inspired nails with you.

I started with a base of Zoya Jacqueline, 2 coats, then I pulled out the following Virago Varnish
Mango Madness (yellow)
Oktoberfest (green)
Not A  Happy Camper (blue)
Beet Ice (pink)

The plates I used were Whats Up Nails A020 & B017,  I did start with plate Uber Chic Hello Spring but I just couldnt see to do the layered stamping so gave up.

If you look closely at my left hand you can see the first stamping I did, I couldnt be bothered to take it off and start again.

Ness by Zoya can be best described as a softened jade green with a hint of blue to make it wearable for all skin tones.

Another pair of stunners, Midori which is green in Japanese, is gorgeous, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Midori also stamps.

Ness is very like Josie but a slight hint more blue in a lighter base, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one sweet coat, Ness also stamps. I had totally forgotten Ness came from the original Sunsets collections, well it was the Seashells and Sunsets collections in 2016. Come on Zoya be original with your names! The bottle shot is totally not O.o colour accurate, the best is the sunshine shot.

Comparison of Tangy and Midori, no dupes, comparison of Ness and Josie, no dupes, Ness has more blue in a lighter green base.

Jace is gorgeous, a new grass green, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in two coats, probably could have gotten away with one if I hadnt dinged my hand, Jace also stamps.

Link is so pretty, very neon in your face, this has a good formula, no running or pooling, I did two coats, Link was supplied with the Z Wide brush, I changed out the caps on this collection to the black ones, I like the white but not on the Zoya Wall. Link does dry matte so I also popped topcoat on to show, if I was wearing this I'd likely do three coats.

Opal is the last of the Fleck Effect set, this is the green/blue version, I did two coats over my bare nails, I switched out the brush to the Z Wide, this has a great formula, no running or pooling, this will never get opaque. I probably should have painted my nails an under colour but my brain isnt quite working this morning.

Tilda is gorgeous, a bright mid-toned green, great formula, no running or pooling and opaque in one coat, Tilda also stamps well.

Weekend Mani

Hey Friends

Today I'm sharing my weekend mani with you, I started with a base of Fancy Gloss Dried Roses from Polish Pickup UK January 2022, this is such a cool thermal, its a green (cold) blue (warm) pink (hot) thermal that can also show a yellow hue jam packed with yellow to green shifting flakies.

I then stamping over it with Zoya Cooper and Virago Varnish Mango Madness using a EDK plate also from January 2022 Polish Pickup. I ment to do half green and half yellow stamping on my thumbs but clearly I missed the green as my nails were not as long as the stamping image.

If you really like the look of this polish, check out Fancy Gloss Fancy Roses 2.0 its the same base thermal but with a different mix of flakies. Comparison pic at the end of the swatches.

Cat pic at the end, after my workout this morning I came out of the shower to this scene, how cute but Obi was crashed out on my jeans lol.
