Easter Eggs

It's Easter and this is my wonderfully, pastel, sparkly manicure!

I painted two coats of the following colors: China Glaze Something Sweet, Re-Fresh Mint, Lemon Fizz, Spontaneous and Color Club Factory Girl. I used acetone remover to clean up my cuticle edge to make the shape a bit more into an egg and then, in corresponding order, I added the following glitters from LA Splash Cosmetics : Fashionista, Immature, Golden Egg, Viola and for my Color Club nail I used YOFI cosmetic Sparkle Dust in Blue Moon. I painted with a thin brush a moon of white near my cuticles in China Glaze White On White and topped the whole manicure off with one coat of CND Super Shiney.

Fanfare

I don't have any real story behind this manicure except to say it was a way to highlight two new shades in my collection. Zoya Areej and China Glaze White Cap. The layering was very pretty and the nail art was simple enough to let the colors shine!

I painted two coats of Zoya Areej and layered one coat of China Glaze White Cap on top. I painted the flower fans with China Glaze White On White with the top coat being China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat.

Glitterazzi

I was a personal attendant for a long-time friend over the weekend. Her bridal colors were purple and green. I needed a quick manicure as I had so many things on my mind and so little time. So what does that mean? You guessed it, GLITTER! It was blingtastic and the wedding was a blast.

For the purple nails, I painted two coats of Zoya Kieko and added LA Splash Cosmetics nail glitter in Trickery. The green nails were two coats of Zoya Apple and LA Splash Cosmetics nail glitter in Immature. I coated all nails with CND Super Shiney

Say What?

Ok. I have no idea what to title this manicure. I can't decide if it's snake-like, girlie camo? Who knows. All I know is that I like it.

obligatory sparkle shot:

I painted three coats of Zoya Apple and then added OPI Black Shatter on part of my nail. I defined the edge of the shatter with a stripe of Zoya Areej and finished the manicure with one coat of CND Super Shiney.

Ketchup To The Sparkle

This new color from the Zoya's Summertime Collection immediately reminded me of ketchup. I was not sure I liked it (but I think it was more that I didn't like the manicure). It also chipped the first day it was on my nails, so it promptly went away!

I painted three coats of Zoya Tamsen and added to all nails but my ring finger through sponging first OPI Extra-Va-Vaganza and then added on top and in the center OPI Gift of Gold. On my ring finger I painted one coat of China Glaze Golden Enchantment adding to all nails one coat of CND Super Shiney to seal the deal.

Leather Corsets

I love the result of this manicure. It was inspired by a celebrated third year anniversary with my girlfriends. The traditional gift for three years is leather and I thought this was an excellent way to represent it!

I painted three coats of Zoya Skye and then added the black corset sides and ties with Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure in Midnight in NY. I dotted China Glaze Millennium for the rivets and used one coat of CND Super Shiney to seal the manicure before applying Essie Matte About You (I know it seems contradictory to paint shiny then matte, but I've found that Matte About You causes some bleeding or running in manicures and a top coat protects from that...).

Random Rainbow

Again, it's a Sunday night whirlwind of polish postings. I don't know what has been up with me lately and being lazy in posting. I'm really sorry, but I hope you all are assured that posts will come.... Don't worry, my nails aren't naked!!! This is the last color I have to try in the Zoya Intimate Collection. I actually think it's pretty awesome. Gray is apparently "hot" right now, and I am a victim of the trend. I love it. I got this glitter polish at Ulta from a rewards coupon. I like it. The glitter is different shapes and sizes and comes out so randomly.

I painted three coats of Zoya Dove and added a coat of Ulta Salon Formula polish in Pinata-Yada-Yada. I added gemstones to my ring finger and coated with CND Super Shiney.
