Shades of Black

I'm feeling a bit down so this mani kind of reflects that I guess. I used a matte black from Zoya (Dovima), a shiny black from Zoya (Raven), and a sparkly PixieDust from Zoya (Dahlia). No top coat or base coat (that defeats the purpose of the matte). I painted all but the ring finger with Dovima. Using a dotting tool, I made different sized dots using Raven. I painted the ring fingers with Dahlia.

Snowmen in a Flurry

These nails were inspired by Jenny Fox  over at polishandpearls.com. I used Zoya Nail Polish in Posh - a matte red shade - for the base on 8 of the nails, Essie's blanc for the snowmen and the base on the ring finger, Shanys black nail striper in #10 for the snowmens arms and hats. Then on my ring fingers, I layered two of the Formula X by Sephora polishes to create a sort of snow storm effect. They're the effects top coats in Chaotic and Turbulent. Because the red color is matte, you don't want to put on a top coat or you'll lose the effect! Stay cool lil snowmen!!
