Bringing you another one of my Holiday manicures, this is Zoya's Veruschuka with a top coat of Deborah Lippmann's Boom Boom Pow.  Veruschuka can be best described as a deep blue-kissed emerald evergreen garnished with strong metallic shimmer in a velvety matte finish.  Boom Boom Pow is described as a  glamorous gold gleam (glitter) that  contains 24K Gold Dust.  This combination together is magic!   I used 2 coats of Veruschuka, mattes are known to be a little more difficult to apply that other polishes, but the more I use them the easier it gets, she is also beautiful alone matte.  I then applied one medium coat of Boom Boom Pow, I can not believe how easy this glitter went on.  I didn't have to try to even any of the glitter particles out or apply more in spots, this polish just happens!  I wore this combination several days with no chips or wear.  You can find Zoya Nail Polish on their website, Ulta or Whole Foods, you can follow the...

Tonight, I am bringing you a beautiful combination of Noel and Twila from Zoya's Gems & Jewels Collection.  I wore this manicure over the Holidays and everyone loved it.  I didn't have time to take too many pictures and I think this one says it all.  This is 2 coats of each polish and both went on smooth.  Even though Twila is a bar glitter, it was not bumpy or hard to apply.   You can purchase Zoya through their website at www.zoya.com or from Ulta, Whole Foods and some local salons.  They also have a wonderful Facebook group at Zoya Nail Polish .  Zoya is a 3 Free polish and is available in over 300 colors, they retail for $8 each.
