Valentine-ish

Hello!  I know I've not posted in a bit, but I was enjoying my SquareHue.com nails so much I wore them all week.  Plus I've been busy with work and just couldn't be bothered with changing my nails again this week ;-p But I'd been dying to try my new Zoya polishes ever since they arrived last week so today I thought I'd start down the road to Valentine's Day with them today.

I have to admit I'm not big into the whole Valentine's thing, but I am looking forward to doing some fun nails leading up to it.  So in trying to get into the spirit I came up with these, again not too smooshy and hearts yet!

First can I just say how I'm totally in LOVE with Storm (ok maybe more Valentine-y then I thought!).  Zoya's website says it is a "full coverage, holiday black with a high concentration of micro fine diamond holographic glitter."  I'm not sure I agree with the full coverage part as I found it tended to go on a bit spotty and then drag when I tried to put on a second coat.  I opted to put on a base color black and then layer Storm over that.  However even with the application issues, I absolutely ADORE this polish!  It's SO sparkly and shiny!  I added an accent nail in Zoya Portia and did my best to use Storm in the stamp from Mash plate 48.  I actually quite like the way the stamp turned out, but wish it had pulled more of the glitter.  This is two coats of each with Seche Vite top coat.  Portia also went on a bit streaky to begin but evened out fantastically with the second coat.  As always I'm never disappointed with Zoya polishes!

cheers and hearts xx
