Zoya French Review

I just found the best ever french manicure set. I am just in love. This is honestly the best french manicure i have tried. Those polishes have a perfect combination of great formula, awesome colors , and good coverage. I have tried tones of french manicure sets, both professional and from drug stores, but Zoyas french is totally the best solution for me. I really enjoy occasional french, it is a great fast solution when need perfect nails on the run, but i really hate carving french with bad polishes, and finding the right ones was a challenge for me.
So, about Zoyas:
1. White is finally real bright white with great coverage, that requires only one coat for perfect look!!!!!!!!
3. I used Zoya Sari, which is pinkish french top coat, but where is a variety of colors and tones of the french top coats offered by Zoya, so it is really a matter of taste. But , again, this polish has everything i was looking for in the perfect french top coat. It does not make white tip look yellow, when used on top of white, but in the same time cover all imperfections of real nail color and structure, and gives this healthy shiny look.
4. FORMULA IS JUST GREAT!!! And yes i just want to scream it around. i ll be honest, i don't think that Zoyas polish has the greatest formula i have ever used, but french polishes are different. It dry quite quick, and turns into soft silicone feel coat. It also very easy to apply , it does not licking at all and in the same time not too thick. And i also want to mention a very good quality brush, which allows you to easily create a smile line without using stencils.

So here are the pictures of manicures that i made using those polishes in the last couple weeks, and i hope you ll like it. And i think no need to say again that i just love Zoyas french solution.

The first manicure is remake of the design first presented by Nether Too Much Glitter, which i totally liked :)

Vive La France :)

I am still so inspired by the french nail-art blog, and this manicure is remake of one of the art works i found where. I sure make some additions,a dn polishes a re different but the concept i believe is prety much the same.
So i really wan to thank Phephe for her for her wonderful ideas and i hope you ll like this one.

Fresh minty gel marbellising

Gel extensions (the white tips are painted using white gel) using blue, green and white gel for the marbellising effect, and some holo flakes to bling up the nails. Loving this cos it looks so clean and fresh!


It looks really nice in real, but anyway, a close up pic for you guys to see it more clearly.

Black & silver glitter gradient extension

I've never done black glitter extensions before and here's a pretty pic of it!
Mixed silver glitter(this is not the usual silver glitter, it's a little sheer and also multicolored) to create a gradient effect and it turns out to be really glittery.

Kids Manicure

Those are the nails of my friend's kid Dasha - she is 11 y o, and she totally loves all the nail stuff :) She always notice my nails, always ask me questions about how to make nails look better. I promised to get her a cool set for manicure this birthday. Her mom does not allow her make nails or play with make-up ( she is a piano player herself, and always kept her nails short) , so we were a little going against mom, making her nails. But it was long time promised, that when they come to our house i ll do her nails... I was expecting to make somehting girly pink with hearts or butterfly lol. Dasha said that she hates pink, and only wanted black nails with skulls or stars :)
At the end she was totally happy, her mom had a heart attack, and i gave her a bottle of remover, and she promised to clean it right away when it starts shipping :)






In fact we had 3 kids in the house this weekend - Dasha, her brother Nikita who is 10 yo, and little Syrsha, who is i believe between 3 and 4 yo. Oh my god, she is so sweet little angel, it was so much fun to have kids, and i just admired how the little one set on my husbands laps :)
The interesting thing is that older kids are from Russia, and live in the US only 2 years, and little one is American .Kids spend a lot of time together, and this is just amazing how quick Syrsha picks up Russian language, She already makes sentences, and i believe she understand everything in Russian. And the really amazing thing is that she says Russian words without any accent. So i think she has a good chances to grow up bilingual

FLOWER POWER

These mylar flowers I ordered from e-bay. The little rings and dots are made by cinapro. You can purchase some of the nail art stuff I use from Color My Nails school. On some of the fingers I put the flowers down into the pink. I think it's a fun touch! I hope you enjoy my latest blogs.
