Sparkle All the Time

I love the hint of a sparkle at my cuticles.



For this look I used Zoya Caitlin and sponged Model's Own Southern Lights onto the base of my nails by my cuticles.

Spring Blooms

A design by nailsbycally on Instagram was the influence for today's manicure.



For this manicure I used Zoya Emilia and OPI My Vampire is Buff (accent) as my base colors.  For the rose on my accent nail I used Essie Lady Like, OPI My Very First Knockwurst, and Zoya Purity.  The leaves are simply Zoya Hunter.

Abstract Holo

Portland is such a tease.  I look out the window and think "oh, it's sunny today!  Perfect time for holo!" and while I'm painting my nails it starts raining.  At least it's not cold...



For this manicure I used OPI Race Red and Color Club Harp On It.  The stamping plate I used was Konad m64.  I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to stamp with Race Red - I don't normally think of OPI as a stamping polish.



You can see some of the holo here (lighting from my kitchen) but unfortunately the sun never came back for me to get a better shot.

Botanical Breakfast Floral Nails

Nail art inspiration comes from all places.  The other day a coworker of mine was wearing this gorgeous navy blue dress with orange flowers.  In addition to trying to hunt down a dress for myself, I drew inspiration from that dress for this manicure.



For my base I used Zoya Sia.  The flowers were created using Zoya Purity, Zoya Jancyn, OPI I Just Can't Cope-acabana, and Zoya Jace.  Everything was done with dotting tools and trying to give the various layers as much dry time as possible.

Zoya Dana in Leopard

I love leopard.  So fast, so easy.  Nail art in under one hour.



This is two coats of Zoya Dana, Zoya Purity, and Sally Hansen Black Out.

Orly Cake Pop

I was digging through my pink drawer trying to figure out what to wear when I stumbled upon a nail polish I'd forgotten I'd had.  I'm not sure when I picked it up (maybe a FabFitFun Box?) but nonetheless, it's part of my collection, now.



Here I'm wearing three coats of Orly Cake Pop.  The formula was okay, a bit streaky, and I ended up with more coats than I'd normally like.  This is a soft white cream with a dash of pink.  Wear time less than optimal coming in at two days before it chipped and I removed the polish.
