Yesterday's Mani Revamped

Things have been a bit crazy around here lately.  Between me trying to figure out grad school and job searching, plus we are in the final stretch for the wedding.  We are 46 days away!  Wholly cow, when did that happen!?

Anyhow, I had planned on showing some recent hauls, but I didn't have a chance to shoot them today due to our puppy being sick all day.  So, I had a few minutes while she was napping and decided to play with my new dotting tools and revamped my Zoya Caitlin Mani.  I wanted to do something a little springy since its been rainy and cloudy here lately.  

Here is what I used:  

Tip for using the dotting tools - make sure they are evenly coated, grab more polish for each dot, clean tool off after every few dots.

Here is how it turned out:

(Inside with flash)

I'm not sure why the ones taken with flash look a little Matte.  Please excuse my dry cuticles! :-/

Thanks for reading!

Zoya Caitlin

A few weeks ago I placed an order for some Zoya polishes and they came in a few days ago.  I have never used Zoya and I have to say I love them! 

Today I have Zoya Caitlin from their Spring 2011 Intimate collection to show you.  It is a purple cream with what appears to be blue and gray undertones that is just lovely!

This is three coats with a top coat of SV.  I have to say that this is a great polish and super springy! :)  I absolutely adore the color.

What do you guys think?  What are some of your favorite Zoya colors?

PS - I am still working on how I should shoot my nails, any tips?
