Zoya Bevin with Accent Nails

Doesn't this manicure remind you of mint chocolate chip ice cream? Maybe it's just me? I loved how this one came together!


For the light mint nails, I used three thin coats of Zoya Bevin (two thick coats would have worked as well), the accent nail is 2 coats of Zoya Dea and the index glitter nail is Sephora by OPI in Only Gold for Me Topcoat, one thin coat.  I did this over a base of NailTek II Foundation and sealed with one coat of OTD.  Excuse the tip wear as this mani was a day old at time of photographing!




The Zoya cremes applied wonderfully and the glitter was easy to use as well. I like the sparsity of it as it still lets the base color shine through. Loved this mani!

Saint Patrick's Day Mani

Alright, I braved the green for this mani.  Not a fan of full green manicures.  I don't like it on my hands.  Teals and such, OK, but green green makes me squirm.  Even though this isn't 100% green.. well I don't know.  I only did one hand and removed it ASAP. :D

Actually kind of cute right? Please ignore pinky smudge :D
Ingredients:
Funky Fingers "Mint Monatauk" - base color
China Glaze "DV8" - triple shamrock
Funky Fingers "Tribal" - individual shamrock
Wet n Wild "Sunny Side Up" - dots
Art Deco "White" - dots
BM03
3 coats of "Mint Monatauk" No BC or TC.
What a bright, beautiful color! A minty neon.
Little darker image here so you can see the details.
I couldn't get a picture without a glare )=

I thought it looked pretty decent considering I went into this mani with NO idea of what I was doing.  The single shamrocks are sort of in the "background" and can be seen very faintly if you click to enlarge.  They were more noticeable in person.
