Matte Rainbow Dots

Hi Dolls:) I haven't done a dot mani in a while and with all the rainbows on social media this week, I was inspired:)  I Love Dot manis mostly because they are super easy and fun!!! and with all the fabulous neon colors out right now I couldn't resist!!! For this mani I used all China Glaze polishes:
White:  White on White
Blue: DJ Blue My Mind
Pink: Shocking Pink
Purple: That's Shore Bright
Orange: Sun of a Peach
Green: I'm with the Lifeguard



I decided to add a Matte top coat to this just to give a little different feel:) CG's Matte Magic is what I used here:) I love how this mani turned out!!!

Tuesday French Tips

Happy Tuesday dolls!!!! I have such a fun mani to show you today:) I think this pattern for nail art in general is one of my favorites, it just has so many potential color combos and is so super easy!!!! Check out these others I have done in the past here and here:)  For this mani I started with tips in Zoya Kitridge a nice bubblegum pink:) I then added some leopard spots with Barry M's Blueberry and Black! Followed all this with a coat of SV:) Super easy, fun and quick!!!!



What do you think of this??? Played out or Play On??? I Love it and I guess that's all that really matters:) Hope you are having a great week and staying cool (it's so freaking hot outside)

 Meet me in the Mirage, is another fav in this collection!! This is a bronze super shimmer, that shines in epic proportions! This one is a little finicky in regards to brush strokes but so worth the effort, just use thin coats:) Here is 3 thin coats with no topcoat! 


The Heat is On, a cherry red crelly polish:)  I love the finish on this beauty, it is squishy like a Jelly!!! Here is 2 coats with no top coat:)


 Don't Mesa with my Heart is a bright bubblegum pink creme with a slight dusty feel to it:) This is bright and subdued all at the same time:) Here is 2 coats with no top coat!



 What's she Dune, is the final color in this collection:) A sand colored creme that leans a little grey! I love the neutrality of this color, a great a palate cleanser:) Here is 2 coats with no topcoat!

Zoya Paradise Sun Swatches

Happy Tuesday Dolls!!! I can't believe we are on the brink of Summer, although here in the South it feels like we are smack dab in the middle of it!!! Today I have Part 2 of the Zoya Summer collections for you, Paradise Sun:) This Collection is full of metallic micro shimmer in some gorgeous tones!!!
*press sample*
First up is Mae, a vibrant warm Magenta with a metallic finish and silver micro shimmer!!! Here is 2 coats with 1 coats of SV:)


 Isa is next:) This gem is a rich purple metallic with a deep blue base infused with teal micro shimmers! This is my favorite of the whole collection:) Here is 2 coats with 1 coat of SV!


Selene, a rich teal with a strong metallic finish and aqua micro shimmers:) The finish of this is slightly off, once dry it almost looks like sheet prints and I'm not sure if I like it or not. But this color is absolutely stunning, but use a base as it can stain!:) Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV! 


 Oceane, is a blue metallic with a beautiful turquoise base:) The finish of this is the same as Selene and prone to stain as well:( However the color is breathtaking!!! Here is 2 coats and 1 coat of SV:)


Genesis is another favorite of this collection:) A Beautiful white shimmer that is not quite metallic!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)


Aphrodite is the last in this collection, and has my favorite finish by far:) This is a vibrant red with an orange undertone, it's finish is a mix between a metallic and jelly!!! Here is 2 coats with a coat of SV:)


My favs of this collection are Isa, Oceane, Genesis!!! What are yours? This collection is available now on www.zoya.com for $9 each and $54 for all of them!
