Zoya Goodies For Review

Hello dear Readers!
I have a got today a hole bunch of Zoya stuff for review - you can not even imagine how happy i am to have it all, and how excited about having so much fun with it. Especially cool is putting my hands on Zoya fall collections Truth or Dare.

Truth & Dare is a fall collection so the colors may be a little not like summer, but fall is coming anyway and those going to be the hottest colors of the fall. For my own taste Dare catches my eye a little more then truth(may be because i have so many secrets :) ) But both collections are super hot and as usually excellent quality and formaldehyde free. By the way just for your information most Zoya polishes are perfect "2-coaters" - means that one coat is not enough to get the color but 2 coats make it all perfect and even. This make it perfect base coats for designs, but unfortunately not the best to use as a design polish. But if you are like me crazy about gradient look - 2 coaters, and particulary Zoyas - are perfect candidates for gradation designs, and most of the gradations that have done and published in this blog where made with Zoya polishes.


So the plan is that i am going to make and post the designs using the hottest polishes from those collections, so you can enjoy some nail-art and see how the polishes really look on the nails and how can you used those polishes to create beautiful Nail-Art.
As about Zoya Color lock system, i am gonna challenge this system really hard. But you ll have to wait for this a little bit :) Ok i ll tell you now. I can not really make a trial of this system wile i have my regular life, i simple can not wear same polish and design more then one day, but in August we are going on the week vacations, so Color Lock system is going to face a real life beach vacation challenge, and certainly i ll share all the results with you, here in my blog.
I also have got a wonderful Hot lips - gloss collection that perfectly complete polish collection , the review is coming in couple days, so you d better stay tuned :)

Violet French

The most news for today is that i am short again. I am going to have a trip in 3 weeks ( i ll not yet tell you the details), so decided that this is time to renew my nails and grow some new. I cut it quite short today, but do not worry, as you k now my nails grows really quick. Anyway, as always it feels so wired to have it short. And here is some violet french design on my new short nails.

Here the largest nail has different violet polish when the rest, i just started with this perl one, but when changed my mind and make rest of the tips with china Glaze spontaneous

FABULOUS DOTS!

This is a fabulous client of mine! I did acrylic that I mixed with art glitter by Barbara Trombley called "barbies" I added the little dots that are from cinapro. And last but not least I added the black dots with polish.

Revlon Runaway inspired ...

Good time of the day, dear readers.
This manicure is inspired by the Revlon runaway collection that i review last week. Hand painted nail-art is certainly not as astonish as printed, but you know, where is somehting about those nails.
And also this is one of those cases when i do a way better on my right hand when on left. It happens sometime to me, i screw up all the left hand, but when i need to draw on the right hand using left hand i be more acurate and concentrated, so right hand come up way better when left.
As about this mani, i do not even want to show you my mess on the left hand.

White bows and crystals on silver french tips


This is a classic design that's always seen in nail magazines and customer requested for this design. I love the silver colour!

black, white, silver stripes.. with red bows


This is quite a short acrylic extension. Anyway, this set is inspired by my bra. No, you've not read wrongly, my BRA! ha ha ha. I showed her my bra the last time she came and then we decided that we want this design!

It's really eye catching in real! Nice and unique.

Russian Style Nails

Well, i ll be honest with you, dear reader, Those nails did not turned out very good. It looks bad, but this is not what i wanted it to look like. The problem is that i realised that i am out of a good liquid black color, the one i had turned so thick that i was not able to make a good wet design. Some time after i ll get a good new black i ll remake this manicure.
The inspiration of this mani is Russian folk art called Hohloma - it is a wooden dishes artistically painted with black, gold and red, sometime a little of green .

Joker Nails - Manicure and Pedicure

This manicure is inspired by the VIDEO that i found on youtube, i loved the idea that much that immediately after i watched it i made this manicure and matching pedicure :)
This is just simply geneuse!!!! I can not believe i nether had this idea in my head. All those years i was wondering around about what is the dimpliest way to draw hearts on nails - and here you go. What i love about this design is how simple it to make and how gorgeous it looks!!! i mean it looks so complex and professional - but in fact everybody can make it in like 10 minutes. I don't even have a dotting tool, so i use a tooth pick to make it. Also i could not decide which color i liked better so i made in both :)
Later i discovered that girl who made this video also have a BEAUTY BLOG , with lots of other wonderful beauty ideas. Her manicure ideas kind of changed my life, and i am going to make one more manicure inspired by her ideas in couple days.
I love this manicure idea, but the most important is that i just discovered for myself a new technique of drawing hearts on nail. Simply 3 dots next to each other make the whole trick.
One of those days i ll make a video of my nail art techniques too, would you guys like some videos?




Matching toes - look how beautiful this design is !!!
