Glam Nails Inspired By Meryl Davis

So I've been totally into these Lacquer Legion prompts recently, in case you don't know what they are it's basically this thing where every month a group of bloggers creates a theme, and everyone can post nails according to that theme. I really love them, and I'm always doing them! Anyway I'm super late with this post, but April's theme was Glam, and that was sooo fun to do cuz you guys all know how much I love glitter and all things that sparkle! So here's what I came up with!

Splatter Nail Art With Zoya Tomoko & Stevie

Hi guys how's everyone's Tuesday? I had some free time over the weekend and was messing around with my header and format, what do you guys think? 
I have some nail art today using a couple Zoya pixiedust polishes, you guys heard me raving about them last week! I took my 2 favorites, Tomoko and Stevie, and decided to do some splatter nail art! It's not something I do often, because it's so abstract and I have so little control over the design, I don't really like doing splatter nails. The past couple times I've tried it my nails have just come out awful lol. Please keep reading to see more!

Zoya Pixiedust Polishes

Hey hey hey! What's up everybody? Weekend plans anyone? I have absolutely NOTHING it's gonna be great! Just a couple days for some physics work, some quality bonding time with Netflix, and of course nail polish! 
I have an awesome post for today. Zoya had their awesome Earth day exchange a couple weeks ago and my 6 new Zoya polishes finally showed up! I took the chance and bought 6 of their pixiedust polishes. I've heard great things about them, and they have fantastic colors, they're so great! I've been a little slow to the texture trend, I'm only really just getting into them now. I think these pixiedusts are really going to help!
I have all 6 Zoya's swatched today, keep reading!

Baroque Pattern Nail Art

Hi guys! I hope you all had a nice weekend, mine was quite relaxing I didn't do much of anything haha! If any of you follow me on instagram I posted these nails last week, but hadn't gotten a chance to blog them yet. Anyway I did these nails for Lacquer Legion's Adoration prompt, where you were supposed to do a nail design you adore, or inspired by someone you really admire, stuff like that. This was what I came up with!

Model's Own Spam

Hello everybody! SNOW DAY #5 today whoo! New Jersey has been CRAZY these past few days! I have some Model's Own polishes to share today that I picked up when I was in London last spring. I have 1 creme and 4 glitters, 3 of which are from the mirrorball collection. These are all kinda old, I never really got a chance to wear them though. I had to change the light setup for these pics to get the glitters to show up better, so please don't mind the messed up pics :/

China Glaze-Light As Air

Hey guys! Happy Tuesday, how is everyone? It's suuuper hot over here, we're kinda going through this thing called a HEAT WAVE.*insert expletives here* I am like so sweaty and gross right now from walking home from camp. One perk though is that I bought some nail polish on the way home! Yay me. Also I saw this reeeaaally cute little deer cross the street and SHE WAS SO CUTE!!!!! She was all little and stuff. I named her Bambi. Haha I'm really original.
So today's color is this pretty purple, China Glaze-Light As Air. It's a light lavender leaning purple creme polish and it applies like a dream!
The formula on this was uber nice and creamy. It was basically only one coat, but I just used two to even it out a bit. In real life this polish is a little brighter/lighter, not this greyish. But the pics are pretty accurate. How weird is that normally it's the other way around!My camera usually makes dusty colors look too bright but now it's like reversed. Lol. 
That's all I have for today guys! I've actually got other stuff to do today *gasp* that does not include watching reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer *bigger gasp* I'm leaving for China on Friday so I have to actually start packing...maybe. And I've got some gifts to make for family and stuff so yeah. I'm not sure if I'll be able to post when I'm in China, so we'll see. If I can't you'll just have to survive without me for 2 weeks. Oh the horror! In fact, most of August I'm not even going to be around, so...I dunno. We'll see.
Thanks for reading everyone!

Zoya Kristen

Hello everyone! Glad it's Friday? Took my chem exam today, totally aced it! Jk I had no clue about a couple of the questions, but that's my chem teacher for ya! Just throw some random topic we've never covered on the exam, it's k.
So today's polish is a nice faded pink/purple color (leans more pink in my opinion) Zoya-Heather

Heather is a really nice color on my skin tone. It's nice and soft and doesn't make my hands look sickly. It's sort of looks lavender in this picture but it is a little more pink in real life. 
This picture also looks too lavender, the pink just really doesn't want to show up in these pictures! The formula was very nice, it was a little runny but it was nice and opaque by 2 coats. 
Zoya polishes cost $8 on their website.
