Flip/Flop February Day 2: Stained Glass/Accent Nail

Time for Day 2 of Flip/Flop February!
Todays Flip/Flop is Stained Glass/Accent Nail.

Now, I've never done stained glass nails before, and I didn't attempt it this time around just because I was short on time. So today's post is simple, but fun! :)

I went with the Flop today and did Accent Nail, well actually Accent NailS. :D

I decided to go with a fun little black and yellow smiley face mani! Simple, but still fun!

The polishes I used were:
Black: Ulta - Little Black Dress
Yellow: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Mellow Yellow

Zoya - Opal Swatch!

Hello Lovelies! So today I'm sharing another Zoya beauty with you, this is Opal.

Opal is from the fleck effect top-coat collection, it's a clear jelly base with a green tint, and all different sized blue-green duo-chrome flecks throughout it!
My one and only complaint about this polish is that it's terrible to photograph, pictures don't do it justice! In person it's soo beautiful, the effect is definitely unique.

The first shot is Opal swatched all by itself, this swatch is three coats.

The second is two coats of Opal over Zoya - Happi.

The third is Zoya - Mitzi with one coat of Opal on the accent ring.

I can't wait to play with this and experiment with it over other polishes!! :)

Zoya - Mitzi Swatch!

Swatch Time!
So this Zoya - Mitzi!
Mitzi is a matte lime green polish from the Matte Velvet Collection, and it's sooo pretty!

This is actually my first actual matte polish, I've had matte top-coat before and I've had polishes that dry with a matte-like finish, but never a real true matte! So I'm excited about it! :)

The color is soo pretty, the formula is fantastic, it dries almost INSTANTLY (seriously, it's literally dry the touch in under a minute) it does take a few coats, but all the other aspects of it make up for that. There is a little bit of streaking, but that's to be expected with a matte formula, and the final coat pretty much covers it all up anyways. :)

And for an accent nail on my ring finger, I added Zoya - Opal. This took away the matte texture on that nail sadly, but they look cool together! I tried to get the Opal fleck effect on camera, but it's really hard! That's why the lighting is so weird and the color is so off. The first swatch is much more true to color. I did my best! :P LOL

LOVE this polish!! :)

French Mani Fun!

Hello lovelies! So, I decided to do a French mani last night, and I decided to go with something a little different than just the classic one color mani.

I did black (which my favorite to do for French Manis) and then, to spice it up and make it more fun, I added a hot pink accent nail! I really like the way it looks. :)

The colors I used for this mani are:
Black: Ulta - Little Black Dress
Hot Pink: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear - Twisted Pink
Clear Top Coat: Sally Hansen - Hard As Nails Strengthening Top Coat
