Her request to add something simple to her nails.. and I added my favourite type of bows for her.
The purple glitter is really pretty! And best of all, it's embedded. No worries of the color chipping off.

2 tone purple glitter extension with bows
I used 2 different shades of purple glitter powder to create the 'gradient' effect. It was not easy cos the dark purple glitter is not easy to control.. but still, it turns out really nice! As usual, pics can be clicked to enlarge. :)

CheezCake Nails
I really, really, really wanted to make those nails look like a CheeseCake, but you see how it came up. Only now, looking at those pictures i understand what was my fundamental mistake - i think i made too many marbles. Anyway ,at least a big finger looks the way it supposed to :)
May be i ll remake this mani one day. I used to be good at making marbles, but i guess i just forgot, last 20 marbles i made were a total mess. May be i need more practice .

More fun With Zoya Pinta
Here is another design that i made using Zoya Pinta. This color is so lovely. For stamping i used Essy "Punchi Pink", and the gold tip is made using Zoya "Penny" from Truth Collection.
Zoya "Demi" + Zoya "Isla"
Some Zoya swatches. Those colors are just gorgeous, did not even wanted to add any design.

Precious Gems
I sooooo love the look of this set of nails! Customer requested for clear nails and I added crystals and pearls to it. The colors of the gems consist of vintage pink, AB, champagne and clear.
It's simple.. yet so pretty!
This angle looks so pretty! You can see the 'C-curve' here. I love how acrylics can be moulded into a nice slender nail shape.. and of cos, the curve. Customer's natural nails are flat and the extension really flatters her nails! :)
All pics are clickable!

Hot Lips by Zoya
This post is about Hot Lips - lips gloss offered by Zoya to complement the fall collections of nail polishes. Where to start? I did not even opened the box yet, but already felt wonderful, berry smell of this lip gloss. Unlike most of the glosses this smell was so natural and cool, no smell of chemicals. The gloss itself is a little thick, but however provides easy , nice and even application. In the first 2 minutes it may feel a bit uncomfortable on the lips, but in 2-3 minutes this feeling is gone, i think this is because the gloss gets worm up by body temperature and "stick" to your lips. The really great thing about this lip gloss - is that it may stay on your lips for the really long time and is not affected a lot by drinking or making bobbles of the gum. It is not like real long lasting glosses that just gets like 8under your skin, i believe hot Lips create a long lasting wear effect because of its thickness. Using this gloss, feels so natural it does not feels or smells like chemical. So here are some swatches of this product, so you can compare how different shade looks on the lips.

FROGS
It was a frog inspired weekend! These are two different sets of frog nails. The frog is made from fimo clay and can be purchased through kennickkreations.com. On both sets of nails I put a thin layer of acrylic and then placed the frog on the nail. Then I covered over it with acrylic. I finished off with a gel top coat! Ribbit, ribbit!

Zoya - Pinta (Fall Collection 2009 - Dare)
Hello Dear Readers!
Today i am going to introduce you a simple design inspired by Zoya "Pinta" - a beautiful shade from Dare collection.
What to say - i love love and love this color, it is really deep and rich, i would call it egg plant color. This shade had always been one of my favorite from darker color, and Zoya did a wonderful job with this polish - the formula is awesome and easy to control. The more i use Zoyas, the more i love them, honestly!!! My first Zoya haul, was bit of disappointment, because i expected 2-coater with good coverage - this is how they looked on pictures, but however in reality i guess i picked up all the transparent jellys on this first time. However i realized that even jelly have a word of opportunities in terms of layering and gradation. And really,m the more i use, the more i like the formula.
I added some zebra stamping to this awesome color, just to spice it up. For me personally - this color - must have!

Zoya - Drew (Fall Collection 2009 - Truth)
Keeping up with the Zoyas reviews. Today i present you Zoya "Drew" - light and exciting coral pink shimmer. I ll be honest this color is not in my pallet, and it probably would nether catch my eye. However it was such a pleasant surprise to see how great it compliments my skin tone. A little hard to make it even, however work totally worth.
For the design i used cheapest drug store stickers, that i don't even know where came from and been in my nail box like forever :) I like how the design turned out on this polish. Hove a happy weekend and stay tuned for more Zoya inspired designs in my Nail-Art World .

Sometimes my clients really surprise me with the ideas they come up with. I have to say it's my clients ideas that turn out to be some of the funnest and cutest nails! I couldn't keep up the creativity without all of you so thanks! This time I put the dots down into the pink and then added flowers on the ring fingers. The colored acrylic is called "flamingo"
