Flaky Ink

Hi there girls.  Hope you're all doing well.  This week's mani is brought to you out of sheer boredom.  I think I'm entering a rut.  I'm glad Spring is almost here and there are many Spring-like shades to choose from so obviously, our nail palettes will change as they always do.  This week I took advantage of another dark shade before things get too bright out there, and being in Miami, we're already wearing shorts and flip flops (I don't think we ever stopped). 

This is two coats of OPI Ink and I covered my ring fingers with a coat of Maisie by Zoya.  OPI Ink is some serious purple goodness with purple, blue and pink shimmer. This is from OPI's Night Brights collection.  Maisie is one of the three fleck effect topcoats Zoya released last year.   It's mainly green and turquoise blue flakes.  Pretty, no?

Instructions for Zoya PixieDust application:

·         Clean and prep nail using Zoya Remove +
·         Magic Time! Apply 1 thin coat of Zoya PixieDust to each nail  - allow to dry completely (will appear matte with sparkle).
·         Apply an 1-2 coats of polish (allowing each to dry) as desired. We suggest 2-3 thin coats of Zoya PixieDust for a full coverage manicure.
·         That’s it - Done! You now have the latest textured nail look in the famous long-wearing, Big5Free Zoya PixieDust Nail Polish formula!

NOTE: Zoya PixieDust Nail Polish dry times are a little slower than with traditional polish but once dry, the Zoya PixieDust formulation will provide extended wear.
Best results are achieved by using the product alone. No basecoat or topcoat required. Layering of the Zoya PixieDust formulation with other polishes may produce less than desirable results.

Remove Zoya PixieDust by saturating a cotton pad in Zoya Remove + and pressing to nail for a few seconds. Repeat on each nail for best results.

Make a Minty Spectacle

Oh, how I love greens.... and I've been lucky that most of them don't give me lobster hands. Here we have two coats of Zoya's Neely from their new LOVELY Collection. It's such a pretty, creamy color. After it dries, it's not so minty and more-so a light jade. Very nice and slightly muted. I covered two of my nails with Make a Spectacle by China Glaze (two coats). What do you think?

Happy Polishing!
