Lemon Lime Ruffian Nails With Zoya Kerry & Zoya Rikki

I don't do swatch posts as you may have noticed if you follow my blog. I tried a few times way back in the beginning but I just don't enjoy it. That means that every post you see is a full manicure that I've worn for at least a day. I usually try out a new polish & then the next day (or so depending on life) I add some nail art. I couldn't think of anything to do the gorgeous Zoya Kerry which is one of my new favorite polishes. My boyfriend, Will (he has his own tag for blog posts) often helps me come up with ideas. This ruffian color combination is his idea & I like it quite a bit! Zoya Rikki is the green polish.

Ruffian With Zoya Chyna & Dahlia

I haven't done ruffian nails for ages & I forgot how much I like them. Easy enough to do on both hands & always elegant. I used Zoya Chyna & Dahlia & I love this combination!

Color Club De-Luxe-Cious & A Ruffian

This is 3 thick coats of Color Club De-Luxe-Cious. It could have used a fourth but the formula was difficult to work with so I stopped.

I know this looks pretty in the pictures but don't be fooled into purchasing this one. It's a great idea for a unique polish but it just doesn't work in this case. It's a gorgeous dusty cornflower blue base with gold & turquoise glitter that gives an almost foil like finish. But even with a good topcoat it dries dull & bumpy. It was also extremely difficult to remove.
This one's going into my "to be frankened pile".

The next night, I added Maybelline Matte Sapphire. This is my second attempt at a ruffian manicure and I really like the end result this time.
