New Zoya polishes - Tickled and Bubbly Collection (Tilda and Jesy)

I love Zoya nail polishes. The bottles are so cute and sleek, whilst the formula is easy to work with and the colour selection is brilliant. I always see these as an American brand that I can't get my hands on so when I had the chance to try these out I was very excited! The colours I recieved were from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection. From the Zoya Tickled collection was Tilda (green) and the Zoya Bubbly collection was Jesy (orange).

Tilda is quite a murky green pastel colour with a great finish. I've used Seche Vite over my swatch but Tilda is more of a subtle finish, not too shiny. The colour stayed on well and would look great in nail art.

Jesy is an amazing glitter bomb that brushes on an almost gold colour with tonnes of holographic pieces of glitter. Although full of glitter this polish does not feel too rough to the touch and goes on well with two coats (as pictured). This would be great worn over polish or by itself.

I can't wait to try the rest of the collections!

Nail Art Weekly Project - Week 4

Week 4 of the Nail Art Weekly Project already! Where have the weeks gone? This week's theme is the month you were born. As I was born in August I was going to try and do a summer theme manicure with lots of cute nail art but again I was super busy and had no patience. So I have followed suit of what a lot of the other girlies are doing and based my manicure on my birthstone, peridot.

In essence all I've done is found all the green polishes I have and stuck them in one manicure! I know that peridot is more of a yellowy green colour but I don't have anything like that so have gone with a light and dark green with some glitters.

It is the last week of the project next week so I hope you've enjoyed everyone's manicures!

Manicure Monday - Gloopy Nails

This manicure was supposed to be wholly one colour, that colour being Revlon, whimsical. In the bottle this is a lovely mint green with specks of pink and blue glitter. However after three coats of whimsical it still was no where near mint green. In order to improve this I decided to add something to my manicure, gloopy blue and pink tips to be exact.

The colours I used for the gloopy tips were Zoya - Robyn and Barry M - Grapefruit. Both are very pigmented colour and worked great for this nail art. In order to do the tips like this I blobbed some of the polish on to paper and used my dotting tool to apply it to the tip, dragging some down the nail to make the gloops.

Do you like? Would you attempt this?
