A Vampy Divide

Using two of the polishes Nicole from Noir Lacquer sent me from our recent swap I did a scotch tape half n half manicure. I usually dot another polish over the divide but I like the way this looked with just the two shades.  First i painted a coat of Edyta by Zoya over all my nails and waited for it to dry. Next up I applied scotch tape diagonally across all my nails and painted two coats of essie's geranium. 

The essie polish would be a lot more vibrant if I painted it over a clean nail rather than on top of a dark colour like this Zoya one. But actually I really like the way this looks, dark and vampy.

Playing around with some more polishes from Nicole, a newer Zoya called Jem and a polish she sent me a while ago called Fashion Addict from Color Club. Jem being a deep shimmery plum and Fashion Addict being a light lilac. Here they are are on my nails, two coats of each and the zebra print from Konad plate M57. I stamped using Konad special polish in white and black.

I used Seche Vite to lock the pattern on, take a look at how gorgeous Zoya's Jem is, I just love the richness of this colour.

Finally my other half bought me some flowers, I love carnations, they are one of my fav flowers, they come in such a huge array of colours.
