Spring Runway Mani

Posted on March 17, 2012 | Leave a comment

Be inspired by spring runway mani trends:

1. Colours-Dominant colours are red, blue and nude, although bright colours are seen a few times.

2. Shape-The favaourite shape still is short and square, however, moon mani is more trendy and eyecathcing.

3. Style-Mani is a part of the outfit, either go with matchy-matchy or let the nail colour stand out. When in doubt, choose red or sheer colours.

A Festive Yellow-Zoya Pippa

Posted on December 19, 2011 | Leave a comment

From Zoya Summer 2009 La-Di-Da Collection

Zoya Pippa

Pippa is such a bright, sunny and cheerful yellow. It makes you smile when you look at it. I love bright colours for summer, especially when the holidays are coming, yellow seems more cheerful than ever.

The thing with yellow polishes is that the formula’s always streaky and hard to work with, but Pippa turns out fine. It’s a little bit streaky when apply, but evens out very quickly. I used three coats in the picture. Enjoy the holidays :).
