ZOYA VERUSCHKA & ROCOCO GOLD LEAF

Hi guys, I hope you enjoyed your weekend, mine has been lovely and relaxing :) 

Anywho so here's another mani from the vault, I saw this combination over at (I can't remember, I'll check tomorrow and update it) and I fell in love with it instantly so had to recreate it ! 

So this is 2 coats of Zoya Veruschka and 1 coat of Rococo Gold Leaf, all topped off with one coat of NYC Turbo Dry. 

Ahh, so beautiful :) Love, love, love this combo! What's your favourite combination with the gold leaf topcoats?

SHIMMERY JEWEL MARBLE & 18K GOLD TOPCOAT !

It's a miserable, rainy day here in England, what's the weather like where you are?

So for today's nails, we have one of my favouritist (I know that's not a real word in the dictionary but it is in my head) nails ever, I think this is perfect for a christmas day mani or new years to when you want something elegant but with a litttle twist ! 

Ok so for this mani I started out with 1 coat of w7 black, while it was wet I placed on dots of China Glaze - Little Drummer Boy, Orly Smolder, Zoya Veruschka, OPI Russian Navy and Essence Choose Me, then I just swirled them around like I showed you in this tutuorial here. Then I added one coat of Sephora by OPI It's Real 18K Gold Topcoat ! 

Aaah, this is a real beauty irl! It's feels so luxurious and expensive lol ! Do you guys love it as much as me ?

UNWRAPPING PRESENTS

Hi guys, so this mani was inspired by Pretty Digits peeling nails. My intention was to make it look like you were peeling back wrapping paper and there was a colourful present underneath ! 

Just before I show you the pics I have to warn you I did this design with the thick nail polish brush which made it extremely difficult to get perfect lines etc. so this isn't very perfect. 

Ok, so start with I painted the top half of the nail red and then stamped a floral image over it with Zoya Veruschka and then Barry M Gold Foil. Then I painted most of the nail with w7 black, then mixed some black and white on a bit of paper and painted on the grey triangle. I wanted to mattify it all but I didn't have my matte topcoat so I left it ! 

Well, do you think it looks ok? I quite like it :)

ZOYA VERUSCHKA HOLO

Wow, I am on a roll, I've posted every single day this week : o  

So when the holiday season comes around there is one polish that screams my name, can you guess what it is ? Yep, It's Veruschka by Zoya, seriously guys if you ever buy only 1 Zoya polish make sure it's this one, the colour and the shimmer is to die for ! Anyway so I cracked this out and applied 1 thin (slightly uneven) coat of Sally hansen prism om Diamond, a strong linear sheer silver holo perfect for layering ! 

I couldn't capture the holo very well and the sun was starting to go down too but trust me when i saw this combo is gorgeous !

STAMPING WEEK, DAY 6 - VERUSCHKA

I'm soo glad you all liked my last mani as much as me : )

Anyway today is the last success of the week, tomorrow is another fail ! loll 
Anywho I recently saw barry m gold and silver foil on sale and even though I wouldn't wear the colours alone on my nails I heard they were really good for stamping so I decided to get them and give them a try and yes I can confirm that they are amazing for stamping ! 

  

2nd day of wear ! 

The necklace stamp is another of my favourites and I adore it ! : ) Anywho there was something I didn't love about this mani so I took it off the next day

ZOYA VERUSCHKA !!! (FESTIFIED)

OK, i was just doing some horrible ph calculations for revision and i just had to show you this mani so i jumped up and made this post for you because i couldn't wait to show you this  ; ) 

YAAAY, i was so happy to get this, this was one of my biggest lemmings for agesssssss ! and i'm so happy i finally own this and yes it is even better than i'd imagined : ) 

anyway i had this on the other day, but decided to make the mani a bit more festive ... 

first this is what it looks like alone : ) so gorgeous ! these pictures were taken on the 2nd day so it's not as matte as it should be 

look at that shimmer !

then i added a matte topcoat ! 

then i drew on some of these wierd glittery stripes in colour club ruby slippers

and then i used a gold art deco striper brush to draw on some golden stripes too : )

 

i love the contrast of the glitter and matte here : )

hope you like it, ok back to the desk again (i've got a long night ahead of me *sigh*)
