Dream catcher nail art design

Been loving this look lately! I'm wearing Essie Cantaloupe for the peachy pink nails and Zoya Wednesday for the teal ones. This was all freehanded with a teeny tiny brush!

Kooky summer neon dotticure

Don't know what to tell you about this look today! It's just cray! I did lots of alternating with Zoya mod mattes from last summer: Mitzy, Phoebe, and Lolly.

Glitter Rainbow Gradient Zoya Nail Art

Zoya makes the prettiest glitter polishes! When faced with these four gorgeous glitters I just couldn't choose one, I have done a skittle look with these before, so today I decided to do a gradient look instead! I went with The Beauty Department's gradient technique of painting all the colors on the sponge at once. I had to apply the gradient a couple of times to get the dark hue I was looking for.

Here is the tools I used (from left to right) cosmetic sponge for gradient, Zoya Alegra, Zoya Mimi, Zoya Charla, and Zoya Apple.

Check out the other rainbow gradient look and a tutorial

Zoya Ruffle Nails

Inspired by the amazing Chalkboard Nails, I attempted a ruffle manicure using all Zoya shades of summer's past! From top to bottom you have Flora, Breezi, Malia, Raegan, Yummy, Perrie, Robin, and Areej. The teal on the bottom of some is by Color Club can't remember the name! This was easy to do using the big end of my dotting tool, but quite time consuming using all those colors. Would have liked the look more for Easter than just a regular summer day.

Neon Pink Wednesday!

I love neon nubbins! Color of the day is Zoya Ali!

Gray and neon NOTD!

Happy Thursday, nail lovers! Today, a simple freehand manicure for you using Zoya Carey as my base color and China Glaze Flip Flop fantasy for accents.

NOTD: Zoya Zuza

Rockin Zoya Zuza today! Got it for free from Zoyas Share the Love program. Not gonna lie, I had high expectations for this color and I'm only feeling meh about it. I'm kind of over so many new colors every season. I don't think it brings much uniqueness or creativity. What do you think?

Gorgeous Pink Gradient

Inspired by the gorgeous azaleas in bloom outside, I decided to do a pretty pink manicure. I started with China Glaze Strawberry Fields as my base and then sponged Zoya Rica on the tips.

Today is National Wear Red Day

So I painted my toes the beautiful Zoya Sookie and stamped from the first set of Bundle Monster plates.

Soft Pink French

Been loving the Zoya winter neutral collection Feel lately! One of my favorite colors is Kennedy. She is such a pretty light pink! I decided to top her off today with Zoya Mia, and it turned out to be a really pretty neutral work-friendly look!

Colorful tips

Been super busy lately. So I am experimenting today with posting from my iPhone. Let me know what you think!

Today's mani is a base color of Zoya Pinta with neon green and pink tips from an Art Club striper kit.

Let me know what you think!

Zoya Christmas Matte French Twist

I love Zoya's matte polishes.  I think I own almost every color they've made in the matte finish because they are just so freaking gorgeous!  Today's manicure was a no brainer.  I loved the trend that Zoya promoted earlier this year called the French Twist, so I decided to create a Christmas one using their matte colors: Verushka (green) and Posh(red).  You may remember the french twist look I did with Dove and Portia from August or the very summery citrus french twist I did in July with Pippa and Jancyn.  As you can tell, I'm a big fan of the look.  But now looking back I wish I would've added a little more design to this manicure.  Oh well!  Enjoy!

Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer Nails

Aren't these little guys cute?  I got the idea for them from IHaveACupcake on Youtube.  Watch her video for a tutorial on how to do some of Santa's other little friends.  For my reindeer, I used a brown from Sonia Kashuk for the base color, Zoya Amanda for the snout, the Milani Red Sparkle for the nose.  This whole design was created using a dotting tool. 

Zoya Cynthia gets the peacock treatment

I just adore Zoya's Cynthia. It is such a pretty murky blue-green color. I thought it would be a perfect shade to stamp these gorgeous peacock feathers on from BM212. I stamped the design with the Sally Hansen Color Quick in Turquoise Chrome.

As you can tell I tried the design going in both directions (one way on each hand).  I can't decide which I like better.  Feel free to sound off in the comments.  And tell me what your favorite color from Zoya's fall collection is.

Gray Sparkly Matte Nails

What is it about Sparkly Matte nails that is just sooo hot? I pin looks like this all the time on Pinterest, so I thought it was about time that I tried it myself. I started with a base coat of Zoya Kelly. I LOVE THIS COLOR! It is srsly one of my favorite Zoyas.

On top of Kelly, I sponged this glitter from NYC called Starry Silver Glitter just on my tips to give it a bit of a gradient look.

And then of course, I took this look to the next level with a matte topcoat. Mine is by hard candy, but any of the others will do just as good.

Want to know why I haven't been posting as much lately?  Its because I fall in love with looks like this and wear them for days on end.  So stinking cute.

I am so excited about this collection!  I LOVE NEUTRALS!!!!!  I want them all!  What shade are you most excited about?  For me, I'm really feeling Kristen and Megan.  I hope the Trick or Treat deal Zoya had last night comes with some spoons for this gorgeous collection!

Breast Cancer Awareness Pink Ribbon Nails

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I wanted to share some pretty special nails I created. This look started with a base coat of Zoya Portia. The pink ribbon was created free-hand using Zoya Areej (one of my favorite polishes of all time!), and then I top coated with Color Club's Starry Temptress.

As you can see, my nails are now nubbins!  You may see some more designs from the vault with longer tips, but sadly, I had some unfortunate breakies so frenchies will have to hold off until they grow.

Pink Leopard Nail Art

Dotting tools aren't just for creating nail art, they are also great for embellishing stamping. I love to use mine to apply rhinestones and add some color to stamped designs. Case in point: today's pink Wednesday manicure!

I started this manicure with Zoya Raven.  Then stamped the leopard print (Konad M57) with a white stamping polish.  Then, using my dotting tool, I filled in the holes of the leopard print with Zoya Mod Matte Lolly.

Don't have a dotting tool yet?  Here's the set I have from Born Pretty Store.

Zoya Petra with Tribal Tips

When I saw Zoya's fall collections, one of my must have colors was Petra. She is just GORGEOUS! Check this beauty out:

I decided to stamp Petra with BM219 in black on the tips.

The end result was a cute fall work-appropriate look.  What do you think?  Are you digging on any tribal nail looks lately?  If you've posted one lately, feel free to share the link in the comments! :)
