Zoya Carey from Feel

Good afternoon, Dear Reader!

I'm continuing to work my way through the Zoya Feel Collection with Carey.  Zoya describes it as "full coverage, periwinkle gray cream," but I don't really see any periwinkle in it, I think it's just a good grey creme.

As with the other Zoya Feel shades I've tried, I found Carey to be really easy to apply and control, and two coats over base coat were all I needed for it to be even, opaque, and very glossy.  After topping it off with quick dry top coat, I gave it some time to dry before taking pictures in natural night that's dimmed by some clouds.

Zoya Carey Nail Polish, Two Coats

I like a good grey creme, and this is a good one.  I picked grey for today because I got some sad news today - my college minor advisor, one of my all-time favorite professors and women ever, passed away early this morning.  She was just a super cool, quietly brilliant lady, and she had the cutest little Pillsbury Dough Boy laugh you could ever hear.  The world was a better place with her in it.

That's Zoya Carey, part three of Zoya Feel, and a good shade for a kind of sad day.  Until next time, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!

loving 3D nailart

Hello Everyone,

just a quick post, i'm really getting addicted to 3D nail art now a days. i find it really nice and cool. i just don't like the smell of the liquid monomer errrr it triggers my allergy rhinitis all the time. but i really can't help it, i love acrylics. wish someday i could also try the gel ones.

 among them all, this is my favorite. i really really love doing the underwater and sea creatures nail art thingy a lot but the weired things is, i don't like em if they're real. FYI, i have Ichthyophobia, or the fear of the fish.

So that's all for today, hope you like em.

Thanks for reading

Silver New Year's Eve 2011

This is my last design for 2010! Happy New Year!!!! I'm so looking forward to what 2011 will bring. I am determined to pursue a career as a nail technician and I pray I can get it moving this year!

Anyways...LOL I used a chunky silver mix and silver holographic glitter acrylic to create this design. I actually made the mix on camera so you can see how I do it. It's very easy. I also used a square swarovski crystal to decorate it.

Pink Champagne

This is my 1st New Year's design. I used lilac holographic glitter scrylic, gold holographic glitter acrylic and a chunky pink metallic glitter mix. I put a confetti mix I got from confetti.com and large pink hexagons and shred glitters in it as well.

Mistletoe

This is the last Christmas design that I did for 2010. This is also a french manicure with the iridescent glitters. I used white green & red acrylic to sculpt the mistletoe. I honestly don't like this design and I think it's kind of ugly LOL.
