To a New Year

Hi everyone. I did not forget about this blog :). I've just been preoccupied with life. Yes, life happens. This will not make up for my absence but it will show you that I have not been neglecting my nails (pinky swear). Remember when my nails were this long?

Zoya Sooki

Well like I said, life happens! Family, friends, new jobs, new responsibilities, new nails! Now I normally don't do nail spam on my blog but I've been keeping a few mani photos on hand during my hiatus so here they are. It's mini spam but hey, at least it's something :D. Looks like it was back to basics, guys...

Zoya Pippa

Hello lovelies! Today I'm gonna try something a little different. It's been so gloomy and rainy lately that there hasn't really been a good opportunity to take some nice and sunny outdoor pictures. I should invest in a lightbox of some sorts hrmm... but for now, enjoy these pics!

Ohh what?? Only two pics? Yes... two pics. Two humongo pics! Apologies for the dry cutes my dears, I shall moisturize this instant! (Speaking of which, as a friendly reminder: Have you moisturized today? ^_^) So what do you think of the inside lighting -- yay/nay? Mr. Sun, where are you?! Hahaha, as always, thanks for reading and Happy Tuesday, folks =)

This was Zoya Harley with a matte top coat and a glitter gradient using China Glaze Lorelei's Tiara. Happy Sunday, folks!

V French Stripes: Zoya Marina + China Glaze Millennium

Hot dang, I am back! Goodness gracious, my busy week is finally over. It has been so hectic for the past few days that I haven't had time to do much of anything! But all is well now and I am officially back to blogging... yay! So before I start with today's post, I'd just like to give a quick reminder to everyone out there that my 100 follower giveaway is still going on and you can still enter all the way up until October 15th, 2011. Click here for more details!

Onto today's mani... what I have for you is another scotch tape mani using two colors. My base polish was Zoya Marina from the current Fall 2011 Smoke and Mirrors Collection and China Glaze Millennium from the Fall 2009 Khrome Collection. Marina is a beautiful dark blue gray with silver microshimmer. The base polish actually has a slight streaky look to it that may show very minimal brush strokes but nothing that is bad in my opinion. Millennium is a popular silver mirror/chrome/foil color that has been around for quite some time. It dried extremely quickly! Please don't mind the outgrowth in my nails. I had this mani on for almost 5 days! Yes - I was that busy, no joke.

For some reason, this mani gives off a "Wonder Woman" type of vibe =P

This is the base polish, Zoya Marina, by itself

Left: indoors, Middle: shade, Right: sunlight

I really like this mani but going on 5 days is already way too long for me hahah. I can't wait to take this off and put on a fresh new coat of polish! I wonder what color I shall choose hrrrmmm.... so many choices! Anyway, it's good to be back guys! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend =).

OPI Stranger Tides + Zoya Veruschka

It seems as though all my lazy posts fall on the weekend. Coincidence much? Naaaaah. Lazy post, it is!

Zig-zaggy goodness!

I loooooove greens! Why haven't I been wearing more green?!

So base color was OPI Stranger Tides covered with a top coat. Then I zig-zagged it up with some Zoya Veruschka (<-- I hate trying to spell that name! I always have to look back at the label).  Veruschka is actually a matte finish - hope you can tell. I am in love with Zoya polishes... I think they fall among my fave nail polish brands <3.  Happy Sunday everyone!

Pink Wednesday: Zoya Areej + Wet n Wild Hannah Pinktana

Aside from the atrocious name that is Hannah Pinktana, I quite like today's Pink Wednesday mani. It's a straight forward one today, folks. A nice thick single coat of Zoya Areej, a fuschia creme which leans more pink/red than purple, and two thick coats of Wet n Wild Hannah Pinktana.

Taken in the sun with flash

 Bottom two pics were taken directly in the sun with no flash.

It seems to lean more towards a purple hue when there's no flash.

Hannah Pinktana looks actually pretty purple when compared

to Zoya Areej... Areej was a nice base color for it though.

Without a base coat of Areej, it probably would've taken near 4 coats or more of Hannah Pinktana only because the glitter is so sheer.  Hannah Pinktana is still a beautiful color on its own though, I just didn't feel like applying it by itself. The pretty mini holographic sparkles give a nice touch to this otherwise toned down pink. Happy Wednesday people!
