Zoya Nidhi

Happy Voting Day! Hope you're heading out to the polls and exercising  your right to vote! It just so happened that I painted my nails red, so it worked out perfectly for today's post. I bring you Zoya Nidhi, which is a gorgeous glass-flecked red that only took 2 coats for full opacity. I have a feeling that if your nails are longer though, you may need 3 coats. Enough blabbering from me, pictures!

That is one delicious bottle shot, if I say so myself.

I know you wanted to see this macro...look at those flecks!

Of course, I wouldn't be able to capture the pink flecks on my nails.

It's ironic that I could see the pink flecks the most on my nails, but the camera only captured the gold flecks. I think the flecks are color-shifting (duochrome) though.

Ok, that's enough pics for now, so I hope you enjoyed this, and if you're a fan of red polish, Nidhi is a must-have! It's gorgeous!

Happy Polishing,

Failure Sailor

Sooooo...nail fail time! I had a costume party to attend this weekend, and I wanted to do nautical nails to match my sailor costume. Well, when you can't find any of your nail art supplies, it's pretty hard to execute the idea I had in my head..that, and my striping brush was fraying. So I bring you this nail fail!

Even my dots were uneven. And that gradient looked way worse in real life. My cleanup was sloppy, probably because I hated how this came out, but still sloppy.

Promise my cleanup didn't look this bad in real life. Oh macro, why do you hate me so? That's it for this post, and since I posted mine, why don't you tell me about your most recent nail fail in the comments?

Bonus pic: My friend took this while we were at In N Out the other night after a costume skate party.

Happy Polishing,

Red All Over!

Today's mani was so much fun to wear that I wore it for almost a full week! I have been obsessed with red as of lately (I'm currently wearing Zoya Sooki on my toes) so this was an awesome mani for me! This post is pretty picture heavy, so it may take a while to load!

I started off with a base of Nfu Oh 551, which is a blood red creme, then added a layer of Nfu Oh 59 over that. Of course, I couldn't stop there so I layered Ozotic Pro 518 over that.  Click after the jump to see pics!
