Zoya Perri Vio-Fio

Hello Dear Sweet Nail-art Lovers.
Finally got some inspiration, it is been a while that i made some one stroke nails with acrylic paints. The base color is Zoya Perri - love it - so perfect for sponging and gradient look, and overall just a really nice shade.
I also sponged the ring with this nail polish so it matches color of the nails. I hope you like it.

Spring Daisy Manicure

Hello my Sweet Nail-Art Lovers.
Here is my spring Daisy manicure, which is hand painted with polishes. Quite a rare thing for me those days wit all those stamps and acrylic paints.
I really love how it turned out, kind of simply bu intricate. I used Zoya Dana (flash collection) for the base color and i think this is what helped pull off this manicure. Dana is probably my favorite color from the entire collection - it is very smooth and bright.
I hope you ll enjoy this nail-art

Glam-Rose with gold flakes

Hello my Sweet Nail-art Lovers.
Personally i really really love the manicure that i am posting today, i was honestly wearing it for more than 4 days which is absolute record for me. I think i nailed this design. The secret formula of the success is - a little of Konad, a little of glitter, and a lot of golden flakes.
I think this is a cool technique of using nail-art foils, since it is really hard to shape it, so i just randomly applied flakes around my design.
Please let me know how do you like this design and especially flakes. Thanks

Zoya Jolene in Action

Hello my Sweet Nail-Art Lovers :D
This manicure and ring set demonstrates a Jolene polish from flash collection by Zoya.
Again it is a bit brighter in life than in pictures, really hard to catch real color.
I love this shade - very summer and extremely girly.

Zoya Flash Swatches

Hello my Sweet Nail-Art Lovers.
Today i am posting a swatches of new summer 2010 collection by Zoya - "Flash", that was kindly sent to me by Art of Beauty for review.
From the first glance the whole collection is an eye catching blast of color and joy.
All the colors are so alluring and beautiful, but i wold not say that any of those are truly unique. I found a close match for almost all the colors from this collection in the polishes that i own - and i don't even own that many. However it is good to have it all packed together in a Flash collection with the exceptional quality of Zoya polishes.
It does not look like this in the bottle, but i d say that Flash polishes are more on the sheer side - which means most of it will work awesome for nail-art and especially gradients.
My pictures turned out not really great. Lacquers from this collection acts like a neons when it comes to taking pictures, they are super bright and don't look like in real life. But unlike neons it does not fry mate, but glossy creamy and gorgeous.

Just a random Zoya bottle upgrade :D
