Zoya Maisie over Black Polish


Zoya Maisie is really an interesting polish! The flakes are green at one angle and blue at another. Kinda reminds me of fish scales.. haha! ok mermaid scales sound better?

Layering it over black polish allows the colour to stand out more I'm not sure if layering it on white will have the flakes be as striking as it is on the black.

Ribbon Nails for Elaine's 21st!


This coming Friday I'll be attending my friend's, Elaine, 21st birthday. Her theme is Ribbons & Bows. Pretty cute ya? I did these set of nails to suit that theme. Its a little messy as I had a really hard time controlling the brush, especially when drawing the outline of the bow.

I coated a layer of OPI's Isn't That Precious, then drew the green tips with China Glaze's Glittering Garland. Then came the difficult task of drawing those ribbons. And here is the final 'masterpiece'.

I tried the new Seche Vite quick dry top coat and it really dries fast!!

Zoya Maisie



Early this year, I chanced upon a weblink and found Zoya nail polish, Fleck Effect. I really fell in love with the colours and the flecks! It looked really nice and I wanted to get Maisie. Unfortunately, I was unable to find any online shops selling it (besides Ebay, etc). I also found out that they do not ship to Singapore so there was no way I could be buying it from them (not that I have a card of any sort to begin with).

Just recently, I went to Nex's Ministry of Cube and found a few collections of Zoya polish!! And there it was! Maisie! And so, I went back to get it today, along with a bottle of Seche Vite. I have no idea how good Seche Vite is, to be honest. My friend did recommend it to me, saying that it really does dry the nails fast.

I'll write more again after trying both out. Stay tuned! :)
