My first Zoya

So, I recently realized that there are 3 beauty shops within walking distance of my house.  Good news for me, bad news for my wallet.  I checked out one I had never been to a couple weeks ago and came home with my first zoya, Mayzie.  It's a beautiful teal jelly with green flakies in it.  The man at the shop said it should be opaque in 3 coats.  Well, I couldn't get it opaque in 6. So, I layered it over FingerPaints Blue Raspberry Taffy and it was gorgeous.  Even in the sunlight a photo doesn't do it justice. 

See? The flakies were iridescent! Gorgeous color. and a not bad paint job if I do say so myself.
Ok, well I'm going to go paint my nails again with some new stuff I got today.  Check back later!

Happy Manicures!

Day 3!

Yay! Day 3! So, today is Black Base with Color.  I found this awesome new black which has black glitter! I actually found it in quite a few different brands but I bought it in pure ice, to save money while trying something new.  It's called Electric!, the other two colors are some un-named fluorescent purple from Sally Girl and Blue Raspberry Taffy by Finger Paints.  I got the idea from this post over at Nailside. Here ya go!

The neon purple is actually neon, but it is really thin and comes out a pretty grape over black.  The last picture is a result of all the experimenting I was doing today.  It's in the daylight from my window. I think it looks kind of neat. :)  The top two are my nightstand light.  It's the only one with one of those natural light CFLs.  I think I like those.
Anyways, I really love this new black.  I thought last night it looked like asphalt, so I may do a road trip mani this summer. LOL.

Happy Manicures!
