Layering With Zoya Trixie & Electra

I liked the accent nail from my last manicure so much that I decided to do all of my nails! 2 coats of Zoya Trixie with one coat of Zoya Electra on top. Not for everyday but fun every now & then.

Here's a quick shot of Electra over black.

Accent Nail With Zoya Trixie & Electra

I decided to try Zoya Electra as an accent nail over my previous Zoya Trixie manicure. Zoya Electra is small silver holographic bar glitter in a clear base. Shown here at just one coat over Trixie. Most bar glitters bug me & just look hairy but I like Zoya's use of smaller bar glitters, like Rina, Twila, & Kissy.

Zoya Trixie

Zoya Trixie is one of the first polishes we featured on our blog & I felt like it time to take some new pictures & show her off again. Shown here at two coats is a lovely silver metallic. I love silver polishes & this one is no exception!

Layering With Sation Tall Dark & Has Some & Stirring Silver

This is one coat of Sation Stirring Silver topped with a gradient of Sation Tall Dark & Has Some. It's a very unique glitter with medium black circles, tiny turquoise glitter, & large turquoise shards in a clear base. So cool & similar in type to a favorite from last year, Sation Ego Friendly. I love this combination!

Sation Silver Frost & Suede Shoes

Sation recently updated their brand & bottles & I have a few of their new polishes to show you this week. The bottles are oval with thick glass bottoms. The new brushes are great for ladies like me that love wide brushes. The formula on all the ones I've tried is excellent. Sation can now be purchased here.

First we have Silver Frost, which is exactly what it sounds like. I know frosts aren't the most popular of finishes right now, but I do like this one. It looks just like pulled sugar! This is 3 coats & you don't have to worry much about brushstrokes with this frost because of the excellent formula & wide brush.

Next we have Suede Shoes. I love blue polishes & this is no exception. Suede Shoes looks almost exactly like the main color of current Pepsi cans. Excellent formula that covers in 2 or 3 easily applied coats. Click the pictures taken in the shade to see the pretty shimmer.

 

Next up I'll have my first Valentine's Day manicure of the year featuring these two pretty polishes. Thanks for reading!

Milani HD & One OF My Favorite Manicures Of This Year

I  won my first Milani polishes from Maria of Nails Made Simple. Be sure and check out her great blog if you haven't already done so.
This is 2 coats of Milani HD. I love holos! Nice formula and all around gorgeous polish. 

The next day I used 2 strips of tape to form a triangle and then filled it in with one coat of Zoya Faye, one of my favorite polishes. I love the effect! Faye is just sheer enough that the holo effect still shows through.

China Glaze Millennium

I've posted about this polish before but I think it deserves another look. It's one of my all time favorites for many reasons. One coat if you're careful & it dries super fast! If you need to get out the door fast China Glaze Millennium is an excellent choice!! This is one coat without topcoat which it doesn't need. You have to avoid brushstrokes but a little practice makes application very easy.

Ashley's Nails: Zoya Trixie & Nail Polish Paris Crackle 21

 

This is 2 coats of Zoya Trixie with a coat of Nail Polish Paris Crackle #21 on top. Gorgeous!!

My sister, Ashley loves crackle polish over shimmers. She usually prefers creme polish over most everything else, but something about this combination appeals to her. I agree that it's my favorite way to wear crackles too. I know many of you are over the crackle trend but I love them for days when I need a fast fix for a chipped manicure. I just throw a coat of crackle on top and the problem is solved!

Ashley has the coolest jewelry!

Thanks for taking pictures and Ashley & thank you all for reading!

China Glaze OMG & Christmas Nails

This is 3 coats of the much loved China Glaze OMG. I featured OMG in one of my very first posts, but I think it's worth showing again. My nails are so much nicer now! The first 2 pictures were taken in full sun, next I took one in the shade and then 2 indoors with a flash.
OMG dries super fast and you can have a bit of drag before you get used to the formula. Once you get the hang of it though, it is very easy to apply and a great option if you need to get out of the house quickly. It's still in my top 5 favorites for sure!



Do any of you know where I can find a list of the China Glaze polishes and the numbers that are listed on the bottom near the name? There is a beauty supply store in town that has TONS of old China Glaze polishes but they are still in their boxes and shelved by number. The owner doesn't want people to browse but expects you to know what you want and ask her for it. If I had a list of the names and numbers, I could easily see what she had without waiting for her to look up the numbers and without having to know exactly what I want before I arrive. I know she has the whole OMG & the Kaleidoscope collections. Help me out and I'll see if I can find some rarities for future giveaways!

Here is my second attempt at a Christmas Tree manicure inspired by Blue Tape and Nail Tips Shooting Star manicure. I don't like how this one turned out very much but I still say it's a great idea even though I messed it up twice! Prove me right ladies and make some Christmas Trees!
