Zoya is Jesse's girl!

Hey people! How are ya doing? I'm having a post-lunch warm beverage (an expression that totally reminds me of Sheldon, hehe), today a gorgeous black tea with cinnamon, vanilla and something else flavour and I decided to show you my NOTD. Since it is an epic win after all. Btw, I read a little rant about overuse of the word 'epic'. Are you fed up with it too or are you like me and use it all the time? ;) 

I tried this combo on a ring I'm making as a gift, and loved it so freaking much, I changed my mani, trying Zoya Yasmeen with it for the first time. You know, I generally think I'm quite fed up with purples. That the purple phase is well behind me. And then I find a purple like Yasmeen and pass out from excitement. No words can describe the beauty and depth of this utterly gorgeous purple. I was actually sorry a bit to layer it. I did it anyway, knowing I'll love the combo, but Yasmeen is a gorgeous little thing all by herself. I did only one coat of Jesse's Girl Confetti - probably my favourite layering polish ever - to keep the purple base more clear and I love the result. Mind you, on the nails the duochrome is a lot more visible, i didn't capture it well.




And the beauty herself. 



I feel like Yasmeen came out on my pictures a bit too bright and it lots a bit of depth too. *sigh* Simple camera, no help there. But I'm sure a lot of you already know her, probably also own her, I think this is easily one of the most popular Zoyas out there. It's a bit older, from Zoya Provocateur collection for Fall 2006. Yasmeen is obviously the star of the collection, I can't even find the swatches of the rest of the collection, but promo bottles look pretty boring. Not Yasmeen though! Two easy coats on this baby too, it's really simple to work with. For every purple lover this really is the polish to have. 

What do you think of the combo and Yasmeen alone? What's on your nails today? :) 

Thank you for reading!

Jesse's Girl - Confetti

Hello darlings! Hope you had a nice Tuesday. I'm tired as hell, but I really want to show you this one. It's the first one I tried from my swap package, I just couldn't resist, since I liked it on the swatches so much, and it just might be one of the best polishes in my collection. It rocked my world totally, so huge thank you to Kris for sending me Confetti! I layered it over Catrice Back To Black, because that's the best way to show the duochrome effect of the polish, otherwise it's somewhat sheer and not so alive. Also you can probably layer it over everything. Right now I'm big on layering polish. I got addicted by a certain person who shall not be named with Nfu Oh Opals. Not to mention the gorgeous colours Nfu Oh has! Yes, I was stupid enough not to expect Nfu Oh has any "clear" colours, I just thought it specializes in flakies and holo. 5 points extra for me, I guess. Anyway. I went from "nah, I'm not that big on Nfu Oh" to around 25 bottles on my WL. No comment. Confetti pictures!






In the shade, natural light.

I love this, seriously, people. I wore it for four whole days! And maybe I would wear it even longer, if it wouldn't start to chip away. It is such a gorgeous polish. I love it over black!¨This was two coats over one thicker of Back to Black, on my ring finger are three coats, because I was a jerk and smudged fresh polish. 

I don't think any extra words are neccesary for this one, just look at it. Fantastic duochrome, perfect for lighter nails, blue being very bright, the foil finish making this extra cool. I love it. Brush is fantasic, I had no problem at all. Just ... perfect! Of course I have the urge to layer it over everything, but I'm resisting successfully! ;) 

What do you think about Confetti? :) 

Thank you for reading!
