Nail Art Wednesday....Down to Kokomo....with Zoya Beach Collection!

Hey everybody:) Today I have a mani inspired by the Beach Boy's song Kokomo! I just love those old songs:) When Zoya put out this new Beach collection I was just freaking out and had to get my hands on them, but Pat got them first..*sigh*.. this gave me the time I needed to complete my mental picture for this mani. All of the schools around here have been out for spring break and everybody flees the country for the beach, so here is a great mani to go along with your bikini to the beach:)
Now this mani did take me a little time, NO sponging here! I did all this art work by hand, although if you wanted to I guess you could do a sponged mani, just might be hard with all the color placement. I hope you remember last year I also did a pedi with a sun set theme Tequila Sunset, this mani is a more colorful version! I used the entire Zoya Beach Collection and also used Pippa, Raven and Trixie. Here are the awesome pictures:)

So what do y'all think??? I think I need my toes in the water and ass in the sand!
Happy Polishing Everyone!
Love,
~Anne~

Here is the chorus from Kokomo by The Beach Boys:
"Aruba, Jamaica ooo I wanna take you 
To Bermuda, Bahama come on pretty mama 
Key Largo, Montego baby why don't we go 
Down to Kokomo 
We'll get there fast 
And then we'll take it slow 
That's where we wanna go 
Way down to Kokomo"

Swim like a Mermaid

Hi ya! For your viewing pleasure I have Barielle Decadence today <3 I won this in a giveaway awhile back from Candy Coated Tips! I was so excited to try it out...This is 2 coats of polish without a top coat because today was the day I was going to try a look out!

So I borrowed  Milani Teal (from the Jewel Fx collection) from Anne after I saw she had it because I thought it would be perfect for mermaid effect that I wanted!...this is two coats of Teal.

I am still on the fence if I like this or not.. I don't think the pictures do it justice that's for sure because it really did shine like fish scales. 

What do you think?

Jen knows me

Hey Y'all today I have for you O.P.I. DS Extravagance (three thin coats) that I got from a very dear friend! Jen knows my taste for purple and holo's <3 This has become one of my favorites in my collections and I have worn it many times but not taken pictures because of lack of sun! Such a beauty needs sun!!!

I just love it! What do you think of Extravagance? 

Butterflies

Hi everyone! today I have for you Orly's Butterflies a very pretty jelly pink. I like this color what I didn't like was the 4 (regular) coats I had to put on to get it to not show the tips of my nails! Next time I will try out a neutral base color to go under it. I originally picked this up for the name but the color is so me and I feel like I could wear her anywhere! So here she is!

I didn't get bored with the color but I wanted to give something a try! So out came O.P.I. Rainbow Connection and on it went...with another coat of Orly Butterflies on top!

I really like the combo of both together and I'm glad I finally got around to trying it out!

Do you have a polish you had to get just because of the name?

Picnic on the BEACH!

Ready for the Beach Ladies? Zoya is also, with their Beach Collection. The Beach Collection is mostly cremes and one metallic. Let's get started <3

From Left to Right-Reagan, Lara, Shelby, Arizona, Tracie, Wednesday. 

First up is Wednesday. Wednesday is soft aqua creme. Wednesday was two coats. Such a summery blue!

Tracie is a sea green metallic. The only metallic in the Beach collection and it doesn't get lost in the sea of creme's! It's very nice on 2 coats and it SHINES (even without top coat)!

Shelby is a soft pinky pink creme. This was three coats I found the first coat coat a bit streaky (and the third coat evened everything out). It's a lovely bubble gum pink....I could see Barbie wearing this pink every day!

Reagan is a deep cerise pink creme (cerise - a moderate red; pinkish red). This is such a lovely color that went on with one coat but to be sure of the coverage I used two.

Lara is vivid cerise pink creme. Lara just pops, this is one coat...Oh yes she won me over in one coat!!

Arizona is a soft coral orange creme. This is two coats of Arizona...which my camera decided to freak out on! If you go back to the full collection shot you will see that Arizona is more mellow orange.

I love the Beach Collection and it goes hand in hand with the Surf Collection! I know I will be reaching for this collection this summer because of the easy applications! Especially if I am in a hurry and need a bit of color on my nails! I know that I can reach for this collection or the Surf collection and get out the door quickly! 
What do you think of the collection?

You can purchase Zoya polish at www.Zoya.com. Zoya's polishes are $8 per polish or $48 for the set.

Surf's up!

Hey Ladies Zoya say's it's time for summer and fun in the sun! Today I have for you Zoya's Surf Collection! Beautiful Summer colors! The Surf collection is a fun in the sun bright metallic's. If you have been reading this blog for a while you might notice I love everything about Zoya-formula, colors, dry time! This collection didn't let down the Zoya name in my book. So let's get started!!!!

From left to right- Myrta, Meg, Zuza, Carly, Kimber, Rory.

 First up is Carly- Carly is a thalia purple foil metallic. Carly is such a lovely color that I swooned (purple is my favorite color y'all!) when I saw her...best part is she is a one coat gal! Yes that's right you could put on your bottom coat-one coat of Carly and a top coat and be out the door! so beautiful! This color blooms in the sun!

Oh Kimber the name reminds me of Barbie's sister! and I think the color fits. Kimber is a magenta pink foil metallic. Kimber was good in two coats! Kimber has gold shimmer in it that is lovely!

 Meg is a mermaid green foil metallic. Meg is a 2 coater also! Beautiful green that screams SUMMER to me!

 Myrta is a coral orange foil metallic. Myrta is two coats of sunshine! This orange reminds me of a juicy orange! It's beautiful.

Rory!!!! Oh Rory is a beautiful lotus pink foil metallic! Perfect in two coats! Yes I was super excited about Rory also because it's just my kind of color!

Last but not least (especially in my book) is Zuza. Zuza is an aquamarine foil metallic. Zuza was opaque in two coats! Look at that blue! Doesn't Zuza scream water?

Zoya is spot on with these colors for summer! The formula is amazing as always with my Zoya's!  Such a great collection! I can't wait to get my summer stamps out and put stamp over some of these beauties!
