Sponged Layering With Zoya Apple & Zoya Vespa

I tried this technique a few days ago & I couldn't wait to try it again. The results aren't as dramatic as last time but still very pretty!

For this manicure I started with my Zoya Vespa nails from yesterday. I added a thin layer of Zoya Apple & then used a makeup sponge to take off most of that layer leaving behind the gorgeous golden flecks & intensifying the green. Gorgeous & super, super easy. I think this technique would work with some of Zoya's other shimmer polishes like Fei Fei.or Faye.

 

You can see the golden difference between my left pointer & the rest in this shot.

Zoya Vespa

Zoya Vespa is a textured glitter polish from the Zoya Pixie Dust Collection.
Here's what Zoya has to say about these polishes.

Infused with magic and wonder! The latest "must-have" nail polish finish - textured, matte and sparkling! This newly developed formula is sure to captivate with a magical sparkle and sugary finish like no other. The color experts at Zoya have created six, long-wearing stunners for the introduction of this enchanting look.

IMPORTANT Pixie Dust Application Information - Do not use a base coat or top coat. Apply 1-3 (for full coverage) thin coats of polish. Allow product to dry down completely matte in between layers for full textured effect. The Pixie Dust textured formula may take up to 10 minutes to dry completely matte. Once dry, the textured finish is long lasting, matte and ultra-glittery!  

I followed the above instructions, no base coat or top coat. Application is very easy as long as you stick with thin coats & make sure to let them dry completely before adding another. Otherwise you'll have some dragging like with most matte polishes. Zoya Vespa needs three coats for full coverage.

Color Club Holiday Splendor

Color Club Holiday Splendor is from the 2011 Beyond The Mistletoe Collection. I've posted about two others from this set here & here; they are all incredible! Shown here at two coats, it's very easy to apply as long as you wait a bit between coats to avoid dragging.

Holiday Splendor is easily the most insane & blingiest polish I own. It got more attention than every other manicure I've ever worn. Blue leaning green jelly base loaded with holographic glitter. So excellent!!!

Sation Under The Miss-tletoe

Sation Under The Miss-tletoe is from their 2012 Holiday Golightly Collection. It's a pretty pearlescent pine green shimmer. The formula is a bit tricky on this one, a bit too thin & streaky. Shown here at three coats but I could have used a fourth. I'm going to pass this one along.

Zoya Frida

This is the beautiful Zoya Frida from their NYFW 2012 Gloss Collection, a sheer, dark, warm-toned teal blue with a buildable jelly gloss finish. all of the polishes from this set work better with thick coats. The formula is a bit streaky & sticky but it's so unique & gorgeous that I think it's worth a bit of extra fuss. Shown here at 3 thin coats before I figured out that thick coats were easier.

Zoya Ray

This is two coats of Zoya Ray from their fall 2012 Diva Collection, a dark blackened pine green with smooth, delicate silver and green frost shimmer. Nice formula but you do need to watch for brush strokes. All of the metallics (Elisa, Suri, & Song) from this set look like car colors to me. My boyfriend, Will, loves them all. I think this would be a great collection for any guys you know who like to paint their nails!

Sation I Paint In Peace

Sation bottles are oval with thick glass bottoms. The new brushes are great for ladies like me that love wide brushes & they are priced at just $5. You can purchase Sation's Big 3 Free polishes at their website. Here we have Sation I Paint In Peace from their fall collection, Nailstock.

If you haven't tried the new Sations, you are really missing out. Great value & they now have a huge selection of colors. So many beautiful blues & greens & they just released 24 new glitter polishes! I'll have a sneak peek at six of those soon.

Sation I Paint In Peace is just a terrific polish. Gorgeous pine green with a hint of shimmer. Fantastic formula that barely needs two coats. This beauty reminds me of my trip to the U.S. Bureau of Engraving & Printing  in fifth grade. (HA! Their website is moneyfactory.gov)I'll never forget staring down into the big 50 gallon drums of green money ink!

Wally likes to sit in the sun with me.
