Zoya Alma and Binx



Today I've got two more Zoya colors for you from the Bubbly collection.  This one is Binx. When I first saw the press release I thought she was going to be more purple so I'm a bit disappointed in that part. The sight lists it it as an "orchic purple" but to me she's leaning very magenta.  That said I LOVE that these are jellies but they really have a metallic feel to them. I see it more with Jesy and Alma than the others but at the right angles they look like full coverage, super shimmery, metallic colors. It's really memorizing!  Here's another of Binx...



This is in a more direct light so the jelly is more apparent.  But you can definitely see the shimmer!!  Here's Alma:


Again you can see that she's clearly a jelly but there's a real metallic, foil type feel to her.  These are both swatched with two coats.  I thought Alma would need a third like Jesy did but I found her to have quite a bit of color at just the two.  These are a bit beastly on removal! Not as bad as a glitter but you certainly have to scrub a bit.


Still they're just SO pretty. I couldn't stop staring at my nails when I had them on!! They look great in all lights.  Alma is sort of a dandelion gold and she's VERY flattering, even on my pale skin!  Which is your favorite so far?

Zoya Jesy



Today I have a swatch of Zoya Jesy for you! This is one of the new Bubbly colors and it's definitely one of my favorites!  One thing that is different about Jesy though, is that she's quite sheer. Where two coats of Harper were enough to create an opaque look, here we have three coats of Jesy and at certain angles my smile lines are still visible.  I also felt she had more of a foily appearance in the light. Almost metallic and SUPER shimmery where Harper was more of a sparkly pink. I'd liken the effect to OPI's Goldeneye. I quite like the sheerness because it means you can layer her over LOTS of things. Which is your favorite Bubbly color?

Zoya Harper



Today  I have Zoya Harper for you from the new Bubbly collection.  This collection is sort of interesting to me because on the one hand you have colors like this one, a gorgeous shimmery pink which is opaque in two coats.  Then on the other you have some colors which are very sheer.  I like that though because I think it's fun to layer them! These remind me of the Pixie Dusts, except what they might be like if they weren't textured and if you added larger holographic glitters to them. They're very easy to apply and dry surprisingly shiny. I did add top coat here though.  I can't wait to show you the other colors in the collection! Did you get Harper?

And then that happened...




So it's the final day of the Digital Dozen brand challenge!! I don't know what happened to my picture but it has a weird contrast that I can't seem to fix SO...this is the terrible pic you get for today. / Think my camera has about bitten the dust, poor thing is several years old. Anyway these are based on the cover of the box sets of Saved By The Bell, which let's face it, we ALL watched growing up in the 90's! I hope you enjoy them despite the terrible pic! They're much brighter and more vibrant in person!  I got a slightly better (but week old pic with tip wear....ew!) pic from Instagram:


Win some you lose some, right? Anyway, here's your fun 90's ad for the day!

I Love the 80's!!

80's


So it's day four of The Digital Dozen decade challenge and today I'm hitting the 1980's.  For this theme day I went with a few different things! I started with a pastel water marble with some holographic glitter and then added some shapes and topped them with a galaxy.  On my index, which is my accent here...I went with some holographic stripes through the galaxy.  I wish the holo had been more apparent in this but the weather has been sort of not great for glitter. :(  After I completed this masterpiece of art I showed it to my husband who promptly asked me what it had to do with the 80's.  To that I say THIS:



and this...


and whatever the heck THIS is...


along with any number of rock music videos!!  I wanted to sort of create a mixed art look! Despite the fact that I'm still working on perfecting my galaxy skills I think it came out rather well!  Here's a fun 80's nail polish ad for you!!

Disco baby...



Ok so these aren't really disco themed! They kind of go in the opposite direction of the 70's! For today's Decades challenge with The Digital Dozen I've gone with some tie dye! I really wanted these to emulate a more free form tie dye than just the typical circular pattern you normally see.  I think they came out pretty well although they also remind me of some water color nails I did awhile back!  I hope you enjoy them! Here's a fun Cutex ad from the 1970's!

I Had Too Much To Dream Last Night...

60's


It's day two of the Digital Dozen Decades challenge and that means we're on to the swinging 60's!  I LOVE the 60's.  I love the music and the fashion and the boldness.  It was a time when people were starting to be more free about things and it really showed!!  I decided to go for the mod look today with some bright, neon color blocking. This mani surprised me a little because I thought it was going to take tons of time and I ended up being done with it in less than 15 minutes. Of course I free handed because I'm no good at all with tape! So it could probably stand to be a bit more precise but all in all I really liked it.  For fun, here's a Cutex ad from 1967!!



Metallic was apparently all the rage that year!! Check out the other ladies art below!!
