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!!

Zoya Ling and Tilda


It's time for the final two colors in the Zoya Tickled collection today! I think I saved the best for last! Then again, I'm a real sucker for blues and greens!  Ling is up first and she's a gorgeous bright blue!  Two coats, no topcoat and she's absolutely flawless. Incredibly flattering AND no stains when I removed her.  Here she is with Muse...


Stunning, isn't it?  Finally we come to Tilda...

 
Tilda is a bright creamy green. Again this is two coats, no top coat. I love how bright these are because I think that's great for summer and sprng BUT they're not so bright as to be unflattering. 
Here is Tilda with Stassi...
 

Again it's so sparkly and pretty! Reminds me of mermaid scales! Which Zoya Tickled color was your favorite?

The Digital Dozen DOES...Decades!!

1950's


It's time for another week of art with The Digital Dozen!! This week we're doing a decades theme which is exciting news for me because I LOVE throwback designs.  I decided to do some ascending decade art so today we're starting with the good old 1950's and by weeks end we'll be up to the 90's.  Today's design really didn't come out how I'd intended at all.  It's rather sad really but I got a lot of compliments anyway so I'm hoping that it's one of those times when I'm being much harder on myself than is entirely warranted.  The idea was a chrome logo across a cherry red background.  Example:


The text is where I really lost it though.  It should have run together a bit differently.  Still I think the idea works!  I hope you all enjoy it too!  For fun here's a 1950's nail polish ad for you!

Zoya Rooney


Today I have Zoya Rooney for you!  This is the last of the red/pink tones in the Tickled collection. This is two coats of Rooney and I have to say, I'm LOVING the shiny finish on these. No top coat once again.  Rooney is described as a mid-range magenta and that sums her up pretty well. Not my cup of tea but I'm seeing a lot of great art in her future!  Here she is with her Bubbly match, Harper...



I've done the accent her in Jesy just to show you once again that these are crazy fun to layer up. Jesy just takes her a hair darker and warmer.  Plus LOOK at all that sparkle!  Which combo is your favorite?  The final two of these will be up tomorrow and then, as it's Digital Dozen week there will be no Bubbly's til the week after!! Can't wait for you to see!

Zoya Rocha



Today I have Zoya Rocha for you!  I actually thought I was going to hate this one and ended up LOVING it. It's described as a warm, red creme but I found that it leans rather orange! I don't know if it's just my skin tone or what but it's really stunning. I often find that reds make me look extra pale or just end up garish on me but this one really didn't. I also LOVE the shiny finish on her.  This has ZERO top coat. Definitely a must have for summer. I can see a Rocha pedicure in my near future!!



Here I've paired Rocha up with Jesy and Alma.  I don't think there was much shift from one to the other but Alma is a TAD more gold than Jesy.  Which way do you prefer her?

Zoya Kitridge


 Today I have another Zoya Tickled color for you! This one is Kitridge. She's a medium bright pink!  I don't generally go for pinks and this one is no exception. It's a bit too bubblegum for me! I do love that it's not super cool or warm though. It's quite flattering it's just not my cup of tea.  That said...


When I layered Harper and Binx (on the accent!) over it, I really kind of fell in love. Again the slightly tinted bases of the Bubbly collection JUST mutes and shifts the bubblegum pink out of this one!  I matted these cause I think I'm in love with the matte look where they're concerned but they do dry shiny!  Which is your favorite so far?

Zoya Wendy


As I'm sure you are all well aware, Zoya has a brand new collection out called Tickled and Bubbly. It consists of six cremes and six glitter polishes. The glitters in these are really interesting in that they have larger, smaller and then almost duo chrome flecks in them as well.  I'll be swatching the whole collection for you this week and I'll be starting with the cremes! I was sort of disappointing in the glitters in that swatches I saw from other bloggers said they were opaque in three coats and that was not at all my experience. That said they're still gorgeous colors and fun to layer over the cremes as well as over each other!! I'm going to start off the swatching with Wendy!

 
Wendy is a coral leaning pink creme and I think she was one of my favorites of the collection.  Not only was she opaque in two coats but just LOOK at that color.  IT's super flattering and also nice and bright for Spring and Summer.  I did find that she was a little on the thick side, but I have LOTS of Zoya's and none of the others in my collection had that issue so I'm thinking that a loose cap might have been the issue there.  I thinned her a little and had no troubles after that! For the most part, the Tickled collection has a matching Bubbly counterpart and for Wendy I felt Harper was the best choice.


 

Here they are layered up.  You can see what I mean now with the glitter.  There are larger iridescent pieces and then a wash of shimmer. There is also a hint of color which has just SLIGHTLY muted Wendy a bit. For fun I threw Alma over my ring finger. Just to show you that these can be fun to layer up and create new combos!
 

For a little extra fun. here is the same combination with a matte top coat.  I REALLY love these glitters matte.  They just look so cool at different angles! Which colors are you dying to see next?
