Water marbling with Zoya Lana

Hi, dear readers and followers:)

Today's post is going to be short and picture heavy, hope you don't mind;)

I did a water marbling over Zoya Lana (fully swatched HERE) with Jade 315 and China glaze Passion, and I did it only over 2 nails on each hand, just to add something extra to my manicure.

What do you think of the combination? Would you wear it yourself?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished Friday and of course the weekend:*

Zoya Lana swatch and pic spam

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Another post from the vault, this time with another gorgeous polish I got in the swap with Maria from R3Daily. It's Zoya Lana from the Reverie collection.

I'm sure you've seen it somewhere on the blog sphere. It's reddish orange coloured polish with great duochrome shimmer that changes colour from gold to green. Hope the pictures show it well, this pretty was a bit difficult to photograph.

There are 3 coats in the pictures, except in the first 2, where there are only 2 coats. You can get away just with 2, but I added another one to achieve more depth. There's also 1 coat of INM OuttheDoor top coat over it.

Do you own any polishes from the Reverie collection? What do you think of them?

How do you like this colour?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

ps. I'm preparing a small giveaway (and then a large one when I hit 700 followers and to celebrate the first anniversary;)

Shiny and matte french NOTD

 Hello, dear readers and followers:)

No long words, just mostly pictures of the manicure ;)

I had to play with Zoya Harlow (matte version and glossy version) a bit more, so I decided to go for matte french tips for which I used the same polish.

Not sure if I like the end result, how about you?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Let's add some shine to it: Glossy Zoya Harlow NOTD

 Hello, dear readers and followers,

hope you're enjoying the weekend as much as I do:)

I just had to apply INM top coat over Zoya Harlow to see its sparkliness, would you blame me;) On to the pics, which show the beauty of glossy Harlow, I even think I like it better that way. How about you? Which finish do you prefer?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished weekend:*

Zoya Harlow swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers,

nail polish photos at last :)

Here's another Zoya nail polish I got in my international swap with Elizabeth from Lacquered Lizard - Zoya Harlow - matte purple red gorgeousness in a bottle.There are 2 coats in the pictures, all over 1 coat of Nailtek f.2. The application was good, no problems - although you have to be fairy quick when you apply this baby, it dries really fast.

What's more to say than I love it! I'll try it with a top coat for sure :)

How about you? Do you fancy it too?

An attempt at ruffian manicure - matte&glossy Savita

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

Finally Friday:P

First I would like to say that this manicure looked much better IRL, the different effects were better visible but the camera just could capture it. Please so enlarge the pics to see the ruffian manicure more precisely;) This was my first attempt at it, so please don't be harsh on me;)

The base for this manicure was yesterday's NOTD with Zoya Savita. For the glossy part I used 1 coat of INM OutTheDoor top coat, and the lines were painted with free hand, no stencils or alike.

How do you like the manicure? What do you think of the ruffian? Like it or not?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, wishing you a nice and polished weekend:*

Zoya Savita swatch and NOTD

Hello, dear readers and followers:)

One day till weekend, hurray for that! ;)

I've got another Zoya polish for you, it's the beloved Savita which I also got in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered lizard. The polish is just amazing, such velvet effect and gorgeous colour (purple with fine pink shimmer), I could not stop starring at my nails  when I had it on, simply stunning. The drying time is super fast and you have to work really quickly when applying it and be carefull not to go over one area more than once. Loved the brush again :) The polish was applied over one coat of Nailtek foundation 2, my favourite base coat.

What are your thoughts on this polish? Love it as much as I do? Have it perhaps?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished day:*

Flakies over Zoya Isla NOTD - just got to love 'em

Hello, dear readers and followers,

a quick post today :) as I'm back to work again. Over yesterday's NOTD with Zoya Isla I applied 1 coat of Sally Hansen Hidden treasure of which I'm sure you've heard and seen a lot:) I got it in my swap with Elisabeth from Lacquered lizard and one in my swap with Maria from R3Daily.

The effect is simply mesmerizing, I could stop starring at my nails while I was having it on. Love, love, love it!

What do you think of the colour combination? Do you own a bottle of Hidden treasure? And do you use it often?

Thank you, dear readers and followers, have a nice and polished start of the week:*
