Textured 3-D Japanese nails featuring Zoya Pixie Dusts Dahlia and Arabella

I was really in the mood for some 3-D nails, so here they are :) I also got A LOT of new polishes and I wanted to try some of them.

Aveam chef rau de niste unghii 3-D, asa ca iata-le :) Am luat si O GRAMADA de oje noi si voiam sa incerc unele din ele.

 

As some of you may know, Zoya decided to discontinue the Pixie Dusts :( Boooo! I had to rush and get all the shades I wanted (an unexpected expense, but I had to do it as I want to offer my clients textured options). I read today they are simply retiring them as they were special editions but the textured finish may reappear in future collections. Anyway, I got like twelve shades and I chose Dahlia and Arabella for my manicure.

Dupa cum stiti probabil cateva dintre voi, cei de la Zoya au decis sa nu mai produca ojele Pixie Dust :( Boooo! A trebuit sa ma grabesc sa iau toate nuantele pe care le voiam (o cheltuiala neasteptata dar necesara pentru ca vreau sa le ofer clientelor mele optiuni texturate). Am citit astazi ca pur si simplu le retrag pentru ca erau editii speciale dar finisul texturat ar putea reaparea in colectii viitoare. In orice caz, am luat cam douasprezece nuante si am ales pentru manichiura mea Dahlia si Arabella.

These polishes are lovely, the finish is extremely sparkly and pretty, the application is flawless and the opacity is perfect in two coats. The texture is pleasant to wear, not too gritty. I love Arabella, it's a jewel tone of red purple (on the site they call it a "rich fuchsia pink" but I think it is closer to purple). The Pixie Dusts are applied without a base or topcoat.

Aceste oje sunt geniale, finisul este extrem de stralucitor si dragut, aplicarea este usoara si opacitatea este perfecta in doua straturi. Textura este usor de purtat, nu este foarte zgrunturoasa. Ador Arabella, este o culoare de bijuterie, un mov rosiatic (pe site ei o numesc un "roz fuchsia bogat" dar eu cred ca este mai aproape de mov). Ojele Pixie Dust se aplica fara baza si top.


As for my manicure, after letting the polish dry thoroughly, I applied my decorations (roses, pearl hearts, rhinestones and studs) using clear acrylic. They are holding very well, despite their size. This kind of manicure is for girls that are used to 3-D pieces on their nails. For the others, it can be a little uncomfortable as they can get them caught in stuff.

Cat despre manichiura mea, dupa ce am lasat oja sa se usuce bine, am aplicat decoratiunile (trandafiri, inimioare din perle, cristale si tinte) folosind acryl transparent. Tin foarte bine, in ciuda marimii. Acest tip de manichiura este pentru fetele care sunt obisnuite cu piese 3-D pe unghii. Pentru celelalte, poate fi un pic incomod pentru ca le pot agata usor.


No naked nails photo this week... I have a love-hate relationship with my nails right now. I noticed they grow a lot more crooked than they used to :(

Nu am poza cu unghiile fara oja saptamana asta... Am o relatie de iubire-ura cu ele momentan. Am observat ca imi cresc mult mai strambe decat obisnuiau :(


Hope you like my manicure! Have a great week!

Sper sa iti placa manichiura mea! O saptamana frumoasa!
