NOTD Simple Stamping with Zoya Dream

The first thing I want to say is a huge I'm sorry!! The last two weeks have been so crazy with work and Christmas prep. Since I put on Dream Monday and still have it on today so you can definitely tell it's a busy week because that almost never happens. I did add some simple black stripes because I thought the contrast between the dark black and the sparkling blue would look great. It has kept me mesmerized all week long!! It's so simple but this combo made me so happy and I received more compliments on this than many elaborate manis I have done. For the stripes I used cheeky plate 10 and stamped with Cult Nails Fetish. I finished it all off with one coat of seche vite.

Zoya Reagan and Lara Stamping

Lately I have been really obsessed with pictures of stamping that show two colors together that are so close to each other but contrast perfectly for an effect that is just stunning. I never had a clue how they came up with the combinations and hadn't yet tried it but then a combination finally hit me. I was organizing my polishes today and came across the Zoya Beach collection that was actually still in the plastic box it came in. Lara and Reagan were sitting right next to each other and I thought they would make the perfect first attempt at the effect I was wanting. I absolutely love how the combination turned out and can't wait to try out more color combinations now that I think I've got it.

For this I used two coats of Zoya Lara and then added a coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast. I then stamped using Zoya Reagan and Cheeky plate CH6. Reagan was so easy to use for stamping and came out great on the first try.  I finished it all off with a coat of Seche Vite and am just amazed. I really really love this combination!
