Zoya Avery in Polka Dots...

Avery is the last polish in the Zoya Feel collection. It was the one I worried about the most thinking that it wouldn't go well with my skin tone, but I was wrong. It looks lovely. As I was painting my nails, I stumbled across a picture of this polka dot dress on pinterest and it was instant inspiration, so I just went with it.

For the manicure I started out with Zoya Avery as my base, taped it off with scotch tape and added the tips using Wet 'n Wild Black Creme. The dots were done using a dotting tool and the same Black Creme from Wet 'n Wild. I originally intended to have the dots over the whole nail, but I liked the look of it on just half...




Zoya Avery on her own is a a soft beige cream. Full coverage in two coats and application was great just like the rest of the polishes in this collection. This it two coats plus a top coat in these swatches...

Thanks for looking!

    Fashion-inspired nails would definitely be a fun series & really interesting, too! That was always my favorite day to see when bloggers were doing that 30-day challenge.

    Gorgeous! I was wearing Avery last week and couldn't decide if it was too yellow or a nice beige that suited my beige skin! Still on the fence on it but I will still wear it again :)
