Z – Zoya Ziv

To end the year of polishing and the ABC challenge, I've got the most beautiful golden polish for you: Zoya Ziv.

This manicure also sports OPI Red Shatter. I was soooo over and done with crackles, until I tried out this one (my first OPI shatter). Now I'm in love again! It looks so fab over white on my swatchsicles, too! I want to try it on every colour. How about a bright blue next?

On the thumb and the ring finger I sponged Lacquistry Devil's Dandruff, some red glitter from Essence Applause Applause (from the Circus Circus collection) and some Wet'n'Wild Fergie collection No Place Like Home. I also added a tear shaped rhinestone (probably from eBay).

The manicure turned out quite Christmass-y - appropriate for the season, although a bit late :)

This is it, then, my dearest readers! The ABC challenge finally over, I've got new awesome nail challenges and projects in store for the next year. Happy New Year to all of You!!

Q - Frozen Queen

The ABC challenge is still alive!

 I didn't own any polishes starting with the letter Q. I considered of buying one, but I didn't find anything at the stores that I really liked. Hello, polish companies!! How difficult would it be to make a gorgeous beige blingy polish and name it "Queen of the Desert"?

Anyways, I had a polish which at least has the letter Q in its name. Here you see three coats of Essence Colour&go Frozen Queen.

 

I added a coat of Wet 'n' wild Fergie collection New Years Kiss on all the other fingers, and gave the ring finger a dab of Lacquistry I Wear My Jewelry On My Nails with some random rhinestones.

This manicure is one of those that made me love my nubbins. This might have been a bit trashy on my usual talons, but on nubbins this leaned more on the sweet side. Do you feel there's a difference on designs for longer and shorter nails?
