The Nail Challenge Collaborative- Pastels #3

By -
So I decided to do a sponge pastel because I haven't been able to use my random bag of cosmetics sponges for a mani for quite some time. The last time I sponged was on Halloween for my Lindsey Lohan costume. Anyway, I like doing this and my technique that I engineered came back fairly quickly. I sponged the colors and then once I was done, I went back and re-sponged the areas that were light or missing color. This is also the third installment of my pastel art for the Nail Challenge Collaborative group that I participate in! I also must say that I absolutely love Kristen as a pastel!!








So I have also been playing around with different lighting settings. The picture above I used a different light setting. I think it's too harsh for me. I put 2 comparison pics below. Which one do you like the best? Let me know what you think!!






China Glaze- White on White
L'Oreal- Penthouse Pink
Zoya- Kristen
Revlon- Sunshine Sparkle

I Went Naked...With My Nails!

**Press Samples** Yup, I did it. I cut down all of my nails and started over a couple of months ago. I wanted to get some ridges filled and stop some cracking I had with this lovely winter weather. Zoya has a fantastic little line called NAKED MANICURE.  It consists of a base coat, perfector in a couple different shades and then a top coat. The perfector users diffusers, keratin, and reflective color pigments to create an illusion all while ensuring healing of your natural nail to help conceal imperfections.  I've been using this set for about 2 months now and I have been able to grow my nails back out all while keeping them strong and healthy. I will continue to use this system in between manicures just to help continue that strengthening process and for a little refresher.

**Press Samples** I guess I have been in the testing mood. This time, pinks. Not just any old pinks, but Zoya pinks! With the release of Wanderlust, I got thinking about all the different pinks Zoya had and could they really all be different? I grabbed all the similar looking pinks and went to swatch town. I used 8 different pinks from my vast Zoya collection. I even snuck in a matte!  As  you can see, while some of them are seriously similar. I think Byrdie and Nana are most similar. I loooove all of these pinks and this little comparison experiment, made me literally want to wear one each week! Maybe a little girly pick me up?!?! What do you think of these pinks? Do you have a favorite? Is there any other Zoya pinks you would add to this?
