Fairy Wing Nails Using Zoya

This is another manicure that started out simple but the longer I spent studying the more I kept randomly adding to it.  It's just a coincidence that I used all Zoya polishes for this look, haha.
The gradient blue into the purple with the light sparkle at the base kind of makes me think of fairy wings :D


For the base I used Hudson which is an incredibly pretty metallic lilac.  I love this color so so so so very much for spring. I then gentle used Mosheen to create a blue sparkle gradient from the tip of my nails.  Finally I took Lux and created a light half circle at the base of my nails.  Now my nails are sparkly fairy wings.


I actually sketched out this fairy two days ago, perhaps when I color her in photoshop I'll base her wings off of this manicure!

Zoya Nail Look using Hudson and Monet

Today's nail look was done using Zoya's Hudson with Zoya's Monet on top.  Hudson is a beautiful metallic light purple.  Perfect for spring! Monet is a top coat with a few multicolored reflective specs in it.  I'm actually not sure how I feel about Monet just because from certain angles it makes it look as if I have a chip in my nail. I'll have to try it over different colors and use it in varying intensities before I fully write it off.


So that little heart, I attempted the paint a design on a plastic bag, let it dry, peel it off, and stick it on your nail technique.  It worked...kind of.  It was a pain in the butt to get off the plastic bag.  I ended up messing up the heart a little bit.  Still an interesting concept, perhaps soon I'll try it with a more complicated design.

Where to buy: Zoya.com
Price: Hudson $9, Monet $10
