Zoya Noel & Twila

The last two polishes in Zoya's Gems & Jewels collection turned out to be my favorite. I'm certainly loving these so let me show you Zoya's Noel, Twila, and some stamping...


Noel
A a cool blue foil made up of blue and silver particles. Great application and coverage. I can't stop staring at this one. This is two coats plus a top coat...

Twila (over Noel)
A dense blue glitter with both small blue particles and larger blue/holographic bar glitter. The holographic effect decided to hide from the camera, but it is visible when on the nail and certainly in the bottle. This is two coats of Twila over Noel from above...

Like the others, this manicure couldn't escape my stamper. I used Wet 'n Wild Black Creme and Red Angel plate RA-108. The little piece of pattern missing from the middle finger is driving me nuts, but I still like the manicure over all. Hope you do to! :)



Let me know what you think about it!

Thanks for looking!

  5. @Theodora, Thank you! I'm so glad you are enjoying the swatches :)

    @Fingers, yes, definitely try it!
    I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

    @Angie, don't give up on the stamping. I most certainly have days when nothing goes right... I thought my RA plates were defective since I couldn't get a good image, but they do work... once I calmed down and tried again :)

    @Polish Amor, thank you! I appreciate it :)
